Glinda clutched her parcel of clothes. She stared at the man sleeping across from her. She heard the conductor " Wittica Wittica next". This was the longest train ride she had ever been on. Everyone in Frottica came to say goodbye. She was the first from her town to be accepted to Shiz University.

At Railway Square, Galinda walked off the train with a couple of porters dragging her luggage. Luckily, a carriage and a human driver was able to take her to Crage Hall. Greeting Galinda in the atrium was the Headmistress. She was a fish faced upper class woman. She was clothed in a currant colored gown.

She stared at Galinda. 

" My name is Madame Morrible". She grinned. " We'll have tea in the parlor and then assemble in the Main Hall".

The parlor was filled with pretty young women. They were wearing green or blue and black shawls. 

Madame Morrible began pairing the new students and then sending them to their new rooms.

After a while, Galinda was just about the last left in the parlor.

" Madame, who is going to be my roommate?".

Madame smiled. " Miss Elphaba".
