A/N: Hello there! This is my first fan fic ever so I would really really appreciate all the reviews I could get. Thanks!

Chapter 1

8:00 a.m.

"Oh crap!"

That was the first thing Eponine Thenadier thought when she walked into class. Classes were supposed to start at eight-thirty, but apparently her teacher, Mr. Oaken was too eager to teach today that he started way before. He was so excited that he didn't even notice that more than half of the class weren't even there yet. Eponine, with her rotten luck, arrived just before he started. She tried to walk away but it was too late. She had been spotted.

Oaken beamed at her. "You're just in time," Oaken said in his weirdly accented English, "you must feel so lucky."

Yeah right.

Eponine wanted to tell him that he was mad for starting too early, but instead just smiled and joined the other miserable, punctual beings in their extra thirty minutes of math class.

8:40 a.m.

"So how do we go about this problem?" asked Oaken.

That's probably all Eponine could understand.

Whenever Oaken starts explaining something, he always gets too elated that it will seem like he was explaining it only to himself. To make matters worse, his accent makes it even harder for everyone to understand what he was talking about. Eponine tried her hardest to understand what he was saying, but her efforts were in vain. After a while she decided to give up altogether and do what she does best when she is bored: amuse herself by observing the silly antics of the people around her.

A/N: So what do you think? I know it's a little short but I promise the following chapters will be longer.
