RIVALRY

2pm at Shiz University, Boq is walking alone at the hallways. All his classes just ended. When suddenly...

"Hey Boq!", Boq turned and saw a squealing Galinda catching up at him. "You're doing something tonight? I think, I need someone to accompany me at the mall. Pretty please", and she does those puppy eyes again.

"Of course, I'm free tonight-"

"Hey Boq! Can you please help me choose a dress for the Ozdust Ball tomorrow night? I'm going to the mall tonight!", said a wheeling Nessa that is approaching them.

"Hey! I got to him first! Back off, wheelchair", snapped a mean Galinda.

"Get that shallow blonde head of yours cleaned up, you might wannna remember that Boq is my boyfriend", Nessa said proudly.

"Uh. Are we- I mean, did we-? I c-can accompany you both at the same time!", Boq remarked proudly more to himself than to those angry chickens, I mean girls, preparing for a fight in front of him.

His heart pounded when both of them agreed.


10 minutes later than their call time, Galinda arrived at the Oz Mall. She is wearing a full makeup, her hair in a really nice getup and her dress made her look like a pixie but it's cute and she is in fact, overall attractive.

"Well, I should've known", Nessa began. That phrase got a double meaning. First one being: Galinda will prepare wonderfully for Boq, so she did the same, she wore her most attractive dress and she is also wearing a beautiful makeup. Second, is that Galinda will arrive late and she and Boq should've never waited for that petite blonde.

Galinda didn't mind what Nessa said, instead, she clung her arm to Boq's, "Come now, dear!".

"Grrrr...", Nessa muttered.

"You're hearing something dear? Like a lion-?", Galinda glanced at Nessa behind them and posed an evil grin.


2 hours later...

"I want it!"

"Hey, I got it first! That's mine!

"I think they got another stock-", Boq tries to mend the situation.

"Sir, that's the only one we've got.", a saleslady cut him off.

Boq's face dropped. "Hey, I think this one's pretty!", remarking to a beautiful dress on the next section. Maybe, one of them will like it, so the other one can just keep the dress they're fighting about.

The two girls looked at where Boq is looking and as if on cue, headed to the next section and quarreled for that dress instead. This next happening surprised Boq:

"I think I want this one, instead. You can keep that one over there", Galinda said proudly.

"Hey! That dress over there is all worn out because you snatched it to me while I'm looking at it a while ago. No, I want this one now", Nessa snapped.

Boq's face dropped. Lower than his face drop a while ago. "I think, we should now eat. Those hungry stomachs make us a little hot-headed, aren't they?", it's relieving that Boq is a nice munchkin because if he isn't, he could've left these crazy girls because this is their 10th store and this scenario always happens.


"Let's head to that cafe! They got the best frappes in Oz", Galinda insisted. The three of them are now in the part of the mall where the cafes, fast-food chains and restaurants are located.

"Boq, I want to go to that fast-food chain over there!", Nessa pointed at the chain across the cafe that Galinda is talking about.

"No! We're going to the cafe!"

"I said fast-food chain!"

"Cafe!"

"Fast-food cha-"

"Why don't we go on that restaurant over there?", Boq suggested.

He was relieved when both of them said, "Yes!"


In the restaurant...

"Sit here beside me, dear!", Galinda told Boq.

"No, he is sitting beside me!", Nessa said and raised an eyebrow.

"Here!"

"No, here!"

"Here!"

"No! He-"

"Shut it!", Nessa was cut off by Boq's shouting. "I have been watching these fights for the last 3 hours and I can't take it anymore! You want there! Then you want here! You want that? Then, you want that also! I can't stand this anymore! I'm leaving!", and with that, Boq walked out.

Galinda and Nessa looked at each other and to the crowd who witnessed what just happened. Both of them sat because everyone is looking at them.

"I'm sorry that this has gone too far", Galinda said in a while.

"Yeah. Me too. I just got with this rivalry because I know that you like him too. Guess, he likes none of us now", Nessa said.

Both of them chuckled before ordering up.
