I will try my best to update this story as well as my others as much as possible!

Enjoy! READ AND REVIEW to tell me what you think! That way, I can know if I'm wasting my time with this story! Thanks guys!

Disclaimer: I own only my obsession.

Chapter 1: Eponine

My brown eyes scanned the courtyard that lay before me. Normally, I wouldn't have been anywhere near this vicinity, but I was looking for her. The young girl, no older than myself, that just stepped out into the courtyard. Cosette.

Despite myself, I felt a twinge of jealousy surge through my veins as I looked her over. We had been children together, grown up together. How was she so much better off than I? Her blonde hair was clean and beautiful , unlike my ratted brown snarls. Instead of rags, she wore a brilliant, white satin nightgown. I sighed softly and turned away. It was no surprise that Marius saw right past me to her. She was angelic while I, well, I was a tease. A thief. At least, that's what everyone saw. Eponine Thenardier, exactly like her mother. A scam artist. A flaunt. A tease.

I sighed again and started to walk away from the courtyard to head back toward the ABC Café. I would keep my promise to Marius, despite my head telling me to forget that I ever saw Cosette. My brain assured me that he'd have to settle if he couldn't find Cosette. How I wished he'd see me for something more than what he thought I was.

Marius, my Marius, didn't even know I existed. How could he not see that I loved him for all that he was? I walked slowly back to the Café, dreading seeing Marius' face when I told him where Cosette could be found. He'd be so happy, leaving me so very alone.

The streets were empty, and a very light rain was trickling from the blackened sky. Stepping into the building I could hear the voices of the other students. They were talking about the revolution. Stepping up the stairs I could make out Marius' voice. So beautiful, so deep, and so not what I wanted to be thinking about. I shook my head, my brown curls bouncing slightly, and told myself I wouldn't think of him all night.

I knew, however, when I saw his face, I would forget my promise to myself and start thinking about him all over again. As I reached the top of the stairs, Marius stood out instantly. I could pick him out of a crowd in seconds. He was talking to one of the students that I didn't know very well. And from what it sounded like, Marius was telling him off. From what I did know about Enjolras, I knew that people never stood up to him; He was basically the leader of the group, of the revolution. Everyone respected him, listened to him, and, from what I heard, were semi-afraid of him.

For a brief moment, I saw past Marius to him. In his bright red vest, he most definitely stood out. His dirty blonde curls were a great contrast to most of the other students in the room. His jaw looked as though it was etched out of stone, his expression so cool and collected. As he told Marius to pipe down and listen, my eyes connected with his briefly.

He told the whole room his plan, his blue eyes blazing intensely. His voice was strong and deep, full of confidence. A smile tugged gently on the corner of my lips despite myself as I pulled my eyes off of his sculpted face.

I pushed my way through the crowd, trying my best to get to Marius. His eyes lit up immediately when he saw me. He slithered through the multitude of people unnoticed and joined me by my side.

"Did you do it? Did you find her?" He asked quietly, his voice low, barely audible. Instead of replying verbally, I merely nodded and turned around, not wanting to see his expression rise in joy. Before we departed, I snuck one last peak at Enjolras despite myself. I smiled softly as I led him back to the courtyard where I had found Cosette.

What do you guys think!? Let me know please! Thanks!
