Chapter 2: They meet

It had been two months since Gavroche found the Amis De L'ABC. They had all welcomed him, Courfeyrac especially and he had begun to feel at home. Being a street urchin meant that you couldn't trust anyone unless you knew them well.

He was stood at one of the Amis rallies when he saw that there was a large crowd of people just walking past the small stage they'd set outside of General Lemarque's house. Completely ignoring what Enjolras and the others were saying.

Gavroche leapt up from his seat and ran towards the crowd,dodging people here and there. He reached the crowd and began to sing to get their attention.

"Ow do ya do my names Gavroche, these are the people ere's my patch. Not much to look at nothin posh, nothin that you'd call up to scratch."

The people began to listen contently. "This is my school my high society, ere in the slums of st Michael, we live on crumbs of humble piety, tough on the teeth but what the hell. Think you're poor, think you're free. Follow me. FOLLOW ME!"

He he turned around to run back towards the rally and almost immediately crashed into a young girl

The child looked quite frightened of Gavroche and her pale blue eyes were wide with fear. Gavroche grinned and mock bowed at the girl who just smiled slightly back. The pair then whipped round as they heard a name being called out urgently. "Camille! Camille! Where are you young lady?"

The girl seemed to pale, gave Gavroche one last smile and ran towards the voice that was calling. Gavroche smirked and jogged back towards his friends.
