Chapter Text
A few days had passed, yet Galinda hasn’t recovered from the metaphorical slap in the face when Elphie had so harshly rejected her.
Anyway. She’s beyond it! Over it! Doesn’t even think about it anymore!
That’s what she told herself once she got home and considered tearing up all of the pictures she drew of Elphie. She considered lighting them on fire for a split second but found that she couldn’t do it. Her heart clenched too much at the idea.
So there she was, in Dr. Dillamonds class as she sat as far from Elphie as possible. She scribbled her own notes and occasionally threw a grand insult about Elphie to Pfannee, who proceeded to giggle and point at the green-skinned creature.
The classroom wasn’t as well lit in the early hours of the morning. The bright light practically hurt her eyes as she tried to keep up with the Goats rambling. She soon lost interest, however, and let her gaze wander over the classroom. A simple chalkboard filled with notes, a lone desk at the very edge of the classroom for the teacher to sit at. And of course, the benches that were filled with the students who all seemed just a tad bit confused while trying to keep up with the Goat’s ramblings.
She looked at Elphie again, frowning a bit as Galinda’s gaze roamed over her pretty features. The harsh nose, the beautiful brows, her full, green lips...
Her eyes widened once the bell rang a shrill and loud noise, rudely awakening her from her lovely Elphie daydream.
“Hey, you!”
Galinda rose a brow as she stood, watching Elphie approach her. Maybe she wanted to make up with her? Wanted to beg for forgiveness and become her new bestie!
“I don’t appreciate you staring at me the entire class! It’s enough of a bother that you and your little brainless friends keep laughing behind my back! So knock it out!”
Galinda blinked a couple of times, watching the way Elphie’s brows would furrow as she spits those harsh words at her. “I don’t know what you mean, Miss Elphie!” She merely shrugged.
“Oh, come on! I can practically feel those big eyes staring a hole in my back! It really is quite distracting!”
Galinda looked around herself, her golden curls bouncing a bit as she noticed that nearly everyone had left the classroom. “Oh, you think I’m distracting, do you?” She asked, her eyelashes fluttering as she played with a single golden curl.
“Wha- No! God, you’re INSANE, Glinda!”
The blonde’s eyes widened upon that single word. Oh, how she despised when people called her crazy! Her fists balled in anger and she noticed a flicker of fear upon Elphie’s pretty features as she took a step closer to the green woman’s taller form. She needed to stand on her tiptoes to be able to face Elphie. Even had to lift her head to do so. “I am NOT crazy! And its GAlinda!” She lifted her hand, in an act to make the mean green bean shut up, but it was soon grasped by a strange force.
“That’s enough bickering in MY classroom today, ladies.” Dr. Dillamond said, still holding Galinda’s wrist with his hooves as he practically shoves the two girls apart. “Do not think I haven’t noticed this constant bickering between the two of you. Frankly, I won’t take it anymore. You’ll be expected in detention for class disruption and acts of violence.”
“But-“
“No buts.” He cut Elphie off abruptly. “Both of you shall be expected in detention today. There you make up whatever disagreement the two of you seem to have, and that is final!”
Elphie grunted out in annoyance and grabbed her bag at once. The force of the door being slammed shut as she practically ran out of the classroom could be felt throughout the entire classroom. Galinda just watched in surprise, a sly little smile playing on her lips as she figured that it couldn’t be THAT bad to spend two hours alone in a room with Elphie.
“We’ll be there, Doctor Dillamond. You can count on me!”
“Good afternoon, Miss Elphie.” Galinda nearly threw the door open in her grand entrance as she entered the room of detention. She watched Elphie through dark lashes and smirked a bit once she saw how the green girl’s eyes would flicker to her new outfit.
Why, she had to change once she found out she was going to spend the entire afternoon with Elphie! She decided to wear her favorite skirt, paired with a cute pink top that greatly valued her assets. After all, an afternoon with Elphie really called for a shirt with the deepest V there was.
“Stop calling me that.” Elphie merely grunted and moved her chair away a bit once Galinda chose the chair next to her of all others to plop down on. “Thanks for ruining my day, by the way. I planned to go to the drive-in with friends. Now I’m stuck here with the school’s most popular psycho.”
Galinda rolled her eyes, inching towards Elphie as she leaned on the table a bit, pursing her lips a bit in order to look as attractive as ever. “Elphie! Everyone knows you have, like, one friend! Maybe one and a half! You really ought to up your game!”
“You know WHAT? Screw you!” Elphie appeared annoyed as she yelled. She stood abruptly, the chair nearly falling backwards as she walked away from the shocked blonde.
“Where are you going? We’re not allowed to leave! We could be expelled, ya know?”
“WE are not leaving. I am. And don’t bother following me, blondie. I’d rather get expelled than spend another second with you alone in a room.”
It felt like a slap in the face once Elphie opened one of the empty classroom’s window and jumped out. The chilly air of the afternoon breeze caused Galinda to shiver a bit.
Elphie appeared to be searching around herself, watching if someone would catch her. Then she sprinted towards her car and took off.
“Well, I just don’t accept that!” Galinda uttered, thrusting her hands in her side as she, too, got up. Her mind wandered to all the possible places Elphie could have gone. She lifted the many layers of her coral poodle skirt as she tried to elegantly hop out of the window. Her heel got stuck, however, and she grunted as her front collided with the grass. She quickly got up, cursing a bit as she tried to frantically remove the grass from her adorable outfit. She could only pray that her hair still looked as adorable as usual.
“Guess I’m paying a visit to the drive-in. No one, and I mean, NO ONE cuts Galinda Upland off!”
