Hi guys! I know pretty much no one reads the authors note at the top, but anyway, if you do then your COOL! Disclaimer - I own nothing, zero, zilch, plus I am not a dead 200 year old French man.

Eponine's point of view

"And now class, may I welcome in our new student, Julian Enjolras," Mr Lamarque told us as the boy who went by the name Julian walked through the door. He was stunning, yes, but I don't bother with boys. I feel something bang my head and I turn around to see Cosette and 'Her Girls' throwing scrunched up balls of paper at me.

"Hey 'Ponine, what up today, something exciting happening or are you just being the usual spiteful bitch you are" It was Cosette, she and her group were cackling like witches, correction, they were witches. They wore perfect clothes, the kind of stuff you could only buy in the expensive half of the mall, short, hot pink skater skirts that could not get any shorter. They were probably designer. To hell with that, their underwear were probably designer!

"Shut up Cosette, can you just leave your bitchiness at home for one day! One day is all I ask for!"

"Ladies, settle down!" It was Mr Lamarque cutting us off. Darn it! I had great come back for Cosette. "Now, Julian, take the spare seat next to Eponine.

Of course I was the only one with no one sitting next to me, I had no friends.

He took the seat next to me and offered me his hand.

"Julian, pleasure to meet you, I'm guessing your Eponine?"

"Always the polite one, huh? Gonna have some trouble fitting in here,"

"What?"

"You know what, just forget it! Just leave it!"

"What?

"Is all you can bloody well say what!"

"No, I mean, why do you hate me when you don't even know who I am!"

"Listen Apollo, If you knew what goes on in my life you would want to stay away, and thats why I'm forcing you to stay away, understand?"

He said nothing, I took that as a yes.

"Okay lets get back to our work!" I told him.

3 hours later

"Eponine!"

Oh great it was Apollo again!

"What do you want,"

"What did you mean when you said your life was so bad."

I looked into his eyes, I could tell he was serious, I could he tell he thought something was up and rightly so. He thought I was just going to open up all of my darkest secrets in front of him. He must be fucking having a laugh.

"My life is none of your business!"

"Ooh look! I't princess freak and her boyfriend!" SHIT! IT WAS COSETTE! Cosette has known me since infancy, she knows every one of my secrets. Back when she lived in the inn with me we have never gotten along. Once she left the inn she went to live with a millionaire and never looked back, even knowing what papa was doing to the rest of us, for that I can never, ever forgive her.

"Shut up Cosette!" I shouted, "I have had enough of all your shit, 'Eponine did this' 'Eponine did that', you know what, just cause your dad is a millionaire does not mean you are gods gift to man!" I slapped her in the face and then nearly her against the locker, it was tempting but I needed to control myself, even though it was so hard.

"Miss Thenardier! Detention!" SHIT!


I was walking home when I heard a cough behind me, I turned my head to see a boy behind me.

"JULIAN, ARE YOU NOW A CRAZY STALKER!"

"What, no!"

I rolled my eyes, seriously, I thought in my mind.

"Then why on earth are you following me."

"Because I live next door!"

What! I thought, why me! I let out a loud groan and opened the door to my house, it was shabby and had to fit seven people but it was all my lame excuse for a papa could afford. Suddenly I heard a scream, I knew it was my sister Azelma. She was 14 years old and utterly beautiful, I used to be beautiful too, that was before I started to take my siblings beatings. My younger brother, Gavroche, had never taken a beating in his life, I would not allow it. Every time he knocked over a vase or fell on top of my papa, I would take to beatings for him.

"Azelma!" I screamed and I was about to run into the house and take her beating when my father stepped outside, whip in hand.

"Shut up you little slut, get inside and you can see your sister in pain, I assure you, It'll be better than the the cinema!"

He let out a chuckle, not the nice kind of chuckle, the kind of chuckle that make you feel pain and suffering just by listening to it.

"No! I'll take Azelma beating, I promise, she still has her whole life in front of her, don't ruin her life like you ruined mine!"

Little did I know that Julian Enjolras was watching the whole time thinking what the hell happened.


I prepared myself for another blow and when it came, my cheek burned. My father would not stop until he saw blood, that was his theory. I could hear Azelma screaming in the distance being held back by my mother by the hair. I simply muttered one word before I blacked out from the pain and it was help.
