Hello wonderul people,

Last year I became obsessed with Les Miserales after reading the book for a school project and the watching the movie (the musical version). So I started writing this small story due to my ultimate crush on Enjolras (his portraiyal from Aaron Tveit was absolutely fantastic). It is an AU, obviously, and set in the modern world so there is no revolution, no barricade, no heartache and pain and no tears. Only fluffy, heartfelt moments shared between friends because... who wouldn't want to see Les Amis d' ABC happy?

Disclaimer: I own nothing! (except maybe Aaron Tveit's heart - though he doesn't know it yet)


Gabriel Enjolras had never, in all his school years, been late for class but this particular morning everything was bound to go wrong.

First of all, his alarm clock didn't work and so he overslept. When his mother woke him up, after realizing he was still at home, it was to late for him to get to school on time and go to the first class of the day. He tried to do so anyway by forcing his mother to drive him all the way to the school and then by running through the corridors in search of his class. He had been late anyway but what if he still had a bit of time?

As he turned a corner and was closer to the classroom he bumbed into someone and they both fell backwards. The fall didn't hurt at all but there was something on his chest, burning him. When he looked down, not sending a single glance at the other person, he saw that his white t-shirt was covered in what seemed to be tea.

"Medre!" he mumbled and took a sitting possition to grab his belongings that were on the floor. His maths and french textbooks were on the floor. But as he cursed he heard another voice saying the exact same curse. He turned around and saw the reason of his fall.

It was a girl around his age with dark blond hair in a messy bun, wearing jeans and a white top with a red scarf around her neck, too herself covered in tea. The empty Starbucks' cup that had destroyed their clothes was in her hand. Hearing his curse too, she had turned around to face him for the first time and apologise.

They seemed to be looking at each other for a long time and Enjolras noted the features of her face and especially the colour of her eyes. She seemed to be doing the same thing and it was like they dared each other to make a guess at who had the brightest orbs. Ice blue was locked with green-grey in a daring completion of glaring. Even their apologies came out at the same time.

"I'm very sorry for bumbing into you!" They both said and the girl smiled kindly even though Enjolras didn't return her smile. He remained cold and expressionless as he picked up his last book. He then made to look at the mess that was his white t-shirt.

"Do you need help?" she asked and Enjolras looked back at her puzzled. "Cleaning your shirt, I mean. Do you need help?" she asked and gave him a tissue from her bag. He took it without a word. His shirt had already been destroyed with boiling water and a tissue wouldn't just stop the damage. The girl was kind though, he had to admit. It was of course her tea that had made them soaking wet but he was the one running in the corridors like a mad man when it wasn't even needed. He had already lost first period by the time he had arrived at the school.

"Thank you!" he found himself mumbling as he stood up. "And sorry for the fall again." he said and turned around to leave. He could go sit outside and wait for the bell to ring.

"Wait.." called the girl and she caught up with him. He stopped walking and turned around to see her. He realised he had never seen her before at school and Gabriel Enjolras had the privilege of being good friends with Nicholas Courfeyrac, who knew everyone. Courfeyrac had never mentioned her or introduced her to Enjolras and their other friends.

"What?" he asked and raised an eyebrow, obviously annoyed by her presence.

"I just moved here from Toulouse and I'm a bit lost. Do you know where is Madame Firmin's class?" She was so kind and sweet and once again smiled at him but not in a flirtatious way. She was just friendly and not like all the other girls at school who acted like addicted fangirls whenever in Enjolras' presence.

"I have the same class next period so we could go together." he said and lead them outside the class. Time seemed to be frozen as the two waited for the bell to ring and so the girl decided to break the silence which Enjolras had forced upon them with his cold behavior.

"I'm Katrina Durand. My friends call me Katria!" she said and extended her hand to him.

"Gabriel Enjolras. Call me Enjolras!" he introduced himself and the girl nodded. He didn't shake her hand though.

"So, you are a senior too, eh?" she tried to make conversation but his answer was the most discouraging thing she had ever heard.

"Yes!"

"And what do you wish to study after school?"

"Law."

Again a cold answer that made the friendly Katria dissappointed. But she wanted to do something rather than just staring at the opossite wall and wait.

"Isn't Paris a wonderful city?" she said but his answer was again a cold and expressionless "Yes!"

Thankfully the bell rang and so her torment stopped. Enjolras was probably the worst person she had ever met and Katria just entered the class without even looking at him. She had just tried to be friendly on her first day of school and he had teared her hope of making new friends apart. She just hoped that not everyone in this school was as egoistic, cold and moody as Enjolras. God yes, the boy looked like Apollo from the myths her mother told her when she was a child but he was definately an awful person to talk to.

It seemed like luck smiled at her because for the rest of the day she met many other students who were the exact opposite of Enjolras. She first met Cosette, a sweet blond girl from her french class, with twinkling blue eyes and caring nature. She seemed to be the most kind and naive person in the world. Then she met Cosette's best friend, a skinny brunette named Eponine who was the exact opossite of Cosette. She had a free nature and was dressed like a boy, with buggy jeans and converse, when Cosette was more introverted and dressed in a floral dress and ballerinas.

Through Cosette, in her literature class she also met Jean Prouvaire or Jehan for short. He had introduced himself by kissing her hand like a gentleman and then he had complemented her eyes with a small poem. He was a very sweet guy. Later, at the corridor, as she was walking with Cosette and Eponine, she had the pleasure of meeting Nicholas Courfeyrac, else known as "The most sociable guy you'll ever meet!" or "The most flirtatious one!" Katria found him sweet and funny and refused his flirting politely. He seemed to take it well and the two chatted happily for a long time as friends.

And it was through Courfeyrac and Eponine that she ended up sitting with the Les Amis -as they called themselves- during lunch. And unfortunately she would have to deal with the Marble Man again.

And by Marble Man she meant Enjolras of course.

The young man hadn't seen the new girl after their shared class- which happened to be history- and he didn't actually cared for her. It wasn't like he had even paid attention to her name. What was it? Kate? Kristin? Kallie? He had no idea what it was and he didn't care. He had caught himself thinking about her, though, twice during the day. The first time was when he remembered one of her answers to the professor during the history lesson. He just totally agreed with her opinion on the matter. The second time he thought about her was when he met with Combeferre and his best friend commented on his "interesting choice of clothing" . The tea had left a small yellowish spot on the white t-shirt. He didn't even bother to explain...

His luck of not seeing the annoying girl again had a limit though. Because the moment he arrived at the table his friends and him usually sat, he saw her sitting there between Jehan and Courfeyrac with two other girls. He knew both of them. The brunette was Eponine, Grantaire's best female friend and the second was Cosette. Marius liked Cosette but they never spoke because he was to shy to talk to her and she was far to embarrassed to interact with him.

"I see mes amis you decided to join us. Come and meet this wonderful lady? She is new!" Courfeyrac said to Enjolras and Combeferre as they sat down.

"Hello Mademoiselle! I'm Alexandre Combeferre." his friend introduced himself and Katria did the same.

"I'm Katria Durand!" So that was her name... thought Enjolras and once again ignored her.

"And this snobbish piece of marble is Gabriel Enjolras." said Grantaire and sat beside him and Combeferre. Katria laughed at his comment because that was exactly how she would describe Enjolras. The blond man though didn't look happy with Grantaire's remark and sent him a death glare before his eyes landed on the girl opposite him. His judging blue eyes traveled from her green orbs to her white shirt that had a similar yellowish spot of tea.

It was then that he heard Combeferre making an obvious remark.

"Seems like the two of you had a similar idea of clothing!"

Enjolras and Katria looked at each other and then at their clothes and indeed they were dressed in exactly the same colours. Dark blue jeans and white t shirts with the same yellowish spot of tea and Enjolras was wearing a red jacket when she wore a red scarf.

He felt his cheeks turning a shade of red and embarrassment overwhelmed him. The same went for her but the smile on her perfect lips remained.

"Seems like Chief found his match!" said Courfeyrac and all burst into laughter. All except Enjolras, who felt like God had sent this girl to him just to annoy him.

From that day on Katria Durand became a regular member of their group. She usually hung out with Eponine and Cosette and a few other girls he didn't know. And even if she wasn't always with the Les Amis at launch, she was always there on parties and movie nights. She had captured the hearts of the guys- having at least one of them in her classes- except Enjolras who avoided her like the plague for no reason.

She didn't actually mind. She didn't like him and he didn't like her... end of the story...
