Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West Volume 2, Chapter 1, Part 4

Volume 2, Chapter 1, Part 4

It's the second semester at Shiz, and Galinda is still stuck with Elphaba as her roommate.
Morrible refuses to let her move. She also gives Galinda some unsolicited career advice and tells her that she would make a great sorcery major. Galinda says whatever.
But then Madame Morrible ups the ante:

"In the event you choose sorcery, it might – just might – be possible to find for you a new roomie." (2.1.4.7)
Galinda is suddenly sold on sorcery.
We learn that Elphaba is going to major in "natural sciences," which is surprising, since this book is supposedly about her being a witch and all. False advertising or red herring? Well, keep reading.
Galinda is nervous around Morrible and doesn't trust her at all.
Morrible now hints that there is something wrong with Elphaba's sister, who will be coming to study at Shiz next year.
