AN: Disclaimer- I do not and will not own Les Misérables
Courfeyrac didn't back down. Yet when Enjolras showed up to the party, it was completely raging. There was drinking and karaoke. People were in the hot tub and some were in the pool. The night was still pretty young. No doubt this party was the best according to all the party goers, but there was no doubt in Courfeyrac's nervousness. He was not having a blast. Enjolras observed him just trying to make sure nothing gets broken or puked on. It was obvious that the entertainment was mostly Marius' idea for he wanted to make sure that he wouldn't lose the bet. After about an hour, Enjolras got bored and went home. Instead he decided to start memorizing a monologue and brush up on his singing.
"Beautiful Monday morning isn't it Enjolras? Hey! When will your audition take place? I want to make sure I'm in the theatre when you go up on stage." Marius said grinning as he walked up to Enjolras and all others in the parking lot.
"Did Courf get caught?" Enjolras asked.
"NOPE. We just finished when his parents got home so we just told his parents that we came to play football in the backyard."
"And they believed you?"
"Absolutely." Courfeyrac replied happily.
"So when's your audition taking place Enjy?" Marius asked annoyingly.
"Tomorrow afterschool at 3:30. Yours is at 3:40."
Marius stopped laughing. The conversation didn't exactly come out as planned in Marius' favor.
"What?" Marius said appalled.
"Your audition is at 3:40 in the theatre. Don't be late. I signed you up. The least you could do is show up and prepare something." Enjolras stated.
"This wasn't part of the deal Enjolras! I never was supposed to audition." Marius argued.
"Why not? If you fail miserably, it won't matter because you don't want to be in it anyways. If you do get in, then you should be happy that you even made the cut with all your…charm." Jehan reasoned.
Marius stormed off. As soon as he got inside the building to go to his locker, he saw Eponine. He was just about ready to rant to her. But Eponine had already noticed Marius looked a bit tense.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked in an almost insincere tone.
"Enjolras. That son of bitch. Can't accept the fact that he lost a fucking bet." He mumbled.
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. Wait a minute. Explain this bet thing to me."
Marius sighed. "He bet me that Courf wasn't going to throw a party, but he did. And the loser was supposed to audition for the musical. But he lost and he signed me up for the musical auditions too." Marius explained.
"What's the big deal? Being in the musical is fun." She replied.
"I guess, but still. I don't want to audition for the musical."
"Suck it up. Be a man and just audition." Eponine was thrilled that he was going to audition. He was a good story teller. Storytelling and acting are pretty similar, she thought.

The theatre was pretty full. Most seats were filled up with girls. As always, there's never enough guys to even match up the population of girls. Eponine was prepared for her audition. She chose the monologue from The Princess Diaries. The one Anne Hathaway gives her speech about her becoming a princess. She always loved that movie ever since she was a kid. She already had it memorized. As for her singing audition, she chose something that went well with her smooth, yet hoarse voice. She decided to sing I won't say I'm in love from Hercules. She brought her karaoke CD with the backing vocals. She was more than excited to take part in this musical. One of her favorites.
As the auditions began, she became more and more confident. There were girls who could sing, but couldn't act. There were girls who could act, but couldn't sing. Only a few people could do both. Luckily she was one of them. The moment they called for her to walk up stage, she dominated. Then she noticed Enjolras, Marius, Bousset, Combeferre, Courfeyrac, and Joly walk into the theater. They made faces at her as soon as they took their seats. It threw her off a bit and she was out of key for one note. Her perfect audition was ruined by her friends trying to make her laugh! She couldn't help but notice that a bunch a freshman girls were completely fawning over these good looking boys from their seats. She began getting slightly agitated in the middle of her song and the drama teachers could hear it in her voice. When her audition was over she was polite but stomped off stage and went back to her seat. Coincidently, in the row in front of all these boys. She sat back down and Marius had greeted her. Still annoyed, she greeted him and turned around to face the front.
At that point, Enjolras was center stage. His monologue was actually a speech. The speech of Martin Luther King Jr. It was pretty moving. His friends were snickering at him for he chose such a serious piece. Eponine was moved, but she acted like a statue that was unemotional. Then he sang a cappella for he didn't know what to sing. He decided to sing Hey There Delilah from the Plain White Ts. Eponine was mesmerized by his beautiful voice. It was silky and full of emotion. She could've sworn that she was able to listen to him sing all day. His diction was completely clear. He seemed confident for his voice wasn't shaky like most people. Some freshman girls actually started clapping at the end of his audition. He couldn't help but blush while his friends were actually clapping too. He bowed slightly and sauntered off stage.
Marius was walking up to stage. He chose a monologue from The Hangover. The one man wolfpack one. Him pretending to cry was pretty convincible. He exaggerated most of his steps and emphasized many words. The song he chose to sing was John Mayer song with a name she couldn't remember. His voice was similar to Jonathan Groff's. The originating Broadway role. Eponine couldn't wait to see who was going to be on the cast list.
