The Green Girl and the Good Girl

True Love or True Friendship?

Alyssa POV
"Micaela Pine, you are out of control. I think this is the only time you have procrastinated in homework!" I chastised. Micaela wouldn't stop fretting over this whole Doctor Darel thing. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like Doctor Darel, too, but she needs to trust that the police will catch the killer.
"I can't! Don't you see? The police have no leads! They don't know anything," Micaela groaned. She picked up a pen and furiously wrote something in her notebook.
"Micaela," I said, trying to get her to look at me. When she resisted, I yelled, "MICAELA! Please listen to me. You need to calm down. I know you aren't happy that Doctor Darel...passed on, but you have a life, and I don't think you should ignore it, especially after we learned, you know..."
I was trying to hint at the fact that we were the real life version of Elphaba and Glinda, and she seemed to understand.
"I'm sorry," She whispered. "You're right. I...I just feel terrible. Her last words were on a piece of paper meant for me. She didn't care about her life, she just cared that I knew the truth."
I put an arm around her shoulder, trying to calm her down.
"How about you work on your schoolwork. There is a Creative Writing piece that needs to be done. It will take your mind off of things."
Micaela sighed and rose from her seat to get her school bag. She came back with a notebook and began to work on the 20 line poem for Creative Writing. Having written my poem already, (I chose to write about nature) I sat on my bed and looked out the window. From there, I could see groups of popular girls, the queen bees included, chatting about who knows what. Probably boys and shopping. Ew. Near them, a group of boys seemed to be gathering the courage to talk to them, maybe even ask them out on a date. Like that's going to happen.
Ever since the dance, people have been considerably nicer to Micaela, and Riley and Rhiannon have stayed out of both of our ways. The only thing is that with the tragedy about Doctor Darel, Micaela hasn't gotten a chance to enjoy the fact that we can now go out in public together without people whispering behind their hands. At least people finally learned the truth about Doctor Darel. Now the whole school was buzzing about who the killer could possibly be.
In the distance, I could see the science building standing not as proud as it is usually is.
I walked over to Micaela and glance over her shoulder, wondering what her topic was. To my surprise, her topic wasn't death or sorrow, but friendship. I couldn't help but smile.
True friendship is more important to me than true love. I would be happy if Micaela and I were best friends all our lives and ended up living together without ever being married.
Of course, who knows if that will ever happen with the whole "we're real life Elphaba and Glinda" thing. I don't know how I would ever live without my Elphie. I haven't known her that long, yet that doesn't matter. I love her like a best friend. I am sad when she is sad, and I am happy when she is happy. Of course, I don't copy her every move, and I have emotions of my own, but seeing her upset makes my heart sink in my chest.
I would choose Elphaba over Fiyero any day.

Let me ask you guys that question: True Love or True Friendship?
