At history class, I was so distracted by Elphaba. I only started talking when Dr. Dillamond mispronounced my name. "Actually, it's GAlinda. With a Ga."

"Yes, of course. Miss Glinda." The goat said.

"I really don't see what the problem is. Every other professor seems to be able to pronounce my name."

Elphaba stood up and started yelling at me. "Maybe perfecting the pronunciation of your precious name is not the soul purpose of Doctor Dillamond's life. And maybe, he is not like any other professor. Maybe some of us are different!"

"Well it seems the artichoke is steamed." I said hotly.

Doctor Dillamond went of into a rant. All I could do was stare at her. I tried to do it with a look of disgust.

Elphaba began to speak, so I sat up straight and I listened. "From what I heard, it all started with the great drought." Of course she was answering a question!

The goat started to teach us again. "Exactly. Food grew scarce, people grew hungrier and angrier. And the question became, 'Whom can we blame?' Can anyone tell me what is meant by the term 'scapegoat'?"

The colourful individual raised her hand and Dr. Dillamond called on me, once again mispronouncing my name.

"It's GAlinda.... with a GA. I don't see why you can't teach us history instead of harping on the past!"

Our teacher said, "Well, perhaps these questions will enlighten you..." He walked over to the chalk board and flipped it over. Gasps went over the classroom. The chalk board had these words on it.

"ANIMALS SHOULD BE SEEN AND NOT HEARD."
