You were your typical popular girl at Shiz. Admired by all, and all envied you by some amount. Boys and girls drooled at your sight, you’ve even made a few faint before. What was there not to love? You were pretty, and kind, and not to mention you were very wealthy. You had it all. You’re leaving the dream, as they would say.

You also had a lot of friends so… how come Elphaba, this random green girl.. Caught your eye? I mean, you have everything. What’s so special about this… big ol eye sore? Well, despite what others would call her- you loved Elphaba. She was smart, and honest- and you admired how she stands for what’s right. No matter who’s standing with her. Whether it be everyone, or no one at all. She… still stands. It makes your heart flutter.

You decided to try and talk to her more after your last classes, so you did! You rushed behind her as she walked out of class. Swiftly, you cut off her line of walking by stepping in front of her and immediately sticking out your hand for a handshake. She’s even prettier up close, isn’t she? You thought to yourself.

Elphaba looked extremely confused, setting her books down on a nearby banister and taking your hand into hers hesitantly. Usually people teased her… you hoped she wasn’t taking your approach as a way to bully her. Unlike your usual popular rich kids, you were actually kind and had human decency- but Elphaba didn’t know that.

“Um… It’s Elphaba. Thropp? Though, I’m sure my name has already been circling around in gossip and such.”

She furrowed her brows at you slightly, the glanced away- probably hoping this odd interaction would end as quickly as it started.
