Eponine grew up as a girl who was loved by her parents, the Thenardiers. But later was abused and worthless to them. Enjorlas, was a boy who grew up to be the leader of the Barricade Boys, fighting for the freedom for the people of France. One day their worlds collided, and the story began. The Thenadiers still to this day, are where they started, begging for money. Eponine, grew up to be beautiful with slight ratty hair since she couldnt afford a brush. She leaned on a wall, not wanting to have any part of her parents. Marius, a handsome young Barricade boy, knew 'Ponine for a few years. He now walked over through the square to talk to Eponine and ease her mind of any trouble. They chatted for a few minutes, when a voice so loud and pure screamed, "he's dead". Suddenly, a tall handsome teenage boy, with pure blond curls, comes racing towards Marius. Not seeing Eponine, he bumps right into her knocking her to the ground. Enjorlas notices, and feels terrible, offering her his hand. "Sorry," his voice was so calm and charming To Eponine. She looks up and grabs hold of the strong arm pulling her up. "Thanks" she says shyly, and their eyes meet and stare at each other for the longest time.
