The Prince's Love(Jonathan Bailey as Fiero)

The Return of the Shadow

-Do you know what to do?- the green-skinned woman asked me.

"Yes," I replied and gathered all my voice to make a thinner squeal, "Aaaa Galinda, your dresses!"

-What! Move away!-the blonde shouted, pushing us sideways, running to her closet and started to look through each of the dresses to see if everything was okay with them.

-You were right that it would help her- said Elphaba standing up and giving me my hand, which I accepted.

-We didn't start very well. Olivia Penter, I said, reaching out to the girl.

"Elphaba Thropp," she said, shaking my hand, to which I gave her a smile, which she thankfully returned.

-And she, as you already know, is Galinda Upaland.

We both looked at the girl, who was carefully studying one of her many pink dresses. She looked at us for a moment and then returned to her activity.

-Good night-Good night-Good... night...

We told each other and went to sleep. A new bed, a new clean slate. Cutting yourself off from the past was the perfect idea. At least I don't have to run away anymore. The night passed peacefully without any drama or quarrels or, worse, suffocating with a pillow. Yes, I know, black humor or thoughts, but after Galinda everything is possible. 

I would have slept a little longer, because my first class is at 9, but at 7 I was woken up by Galinda's scream.

-He'll be here in a moment!

-Who?- Elphaba and I both asked.

-Well, yes, because you don't get up early like I do, but you're sleepyheads, I can't, and I could have a room alone, good to the point. Newspapers write that our university will be visited by none other than Prince Fiyero Tigelaar. I was stunned. Galinda was jumping for joy, Elphaba was looking at her and at me, and I was looking at the carpet lying around. One day of peace and it's back. My worst nightmare comes back to me.

-Olivia, are you well?- asked Elphaba coming up to me.

-Yes, I just feel a little weak. Would you like to pour me some water?-I asked and the girl went with a cup in her hand.

-Liv, have you turned a little pale, are you okay?- asked the blonde crouching next to me.

-Yes, Elphaba went to get water. So when does this whole prince arrive?

-He is to appear today! I know! I'll go show him around the school.

"And Mrs. Morible won't do that?"

-I'll tell him that it's because of her recommendation that I'm here!- the girl shouted excitedly looking for a dress, and at the same time Elphaba handed me a glass of cold water.

-Are you okay?- asked the brunette.

-Yes, I'm just a little dizzy. I'll sleep for another hour," I said, and the girl nodded and went to get herself together. Galinda continued talking to herself and I went to sleep in disbelief that my worst nightmare was coming back.

I went out on the balcony looking at the beautiful views of Oz. From my balcony you could see the school's courtyard, I looked in that direction and felt the dark brown irises shining through me. Galinda was talking to him like a hired woman, but he was looking at me. 

He really came back. 

My nightmare.

 Fiyero Tigelaar.
