A/N: Okay, here's chapter 2. I already had it written, so I'd figure I'd post it. I hope you like it so far! Enjoy!
Frustratedstudent-Thanks for the review!
Eponine's POV
I hummed softly to myself as I wandered down the street, thinking of Monsieur Marius.
My Monsieur Marius.
Okay, maybe not in this world, but in my world, he's all mine.
I leaned up against the building in thought.
"How can I get him to notice me?" I wondered as I looked toward the ground.
I then heard the sound of angry footsteps coming down the street.
I looked up to see a tall man in a red vest storming down the street. I considered going up to him and asking for a franc or two, but I quickly changed my mind when I saw the look on his face.
I ducked into the nearby shadows and tried to sneak away, but I tripped and fell. Despite the fact that I had skidded both of my knees, and scratched up the palms of my hands, I got up and dusted myself off.
When I looked up, I could see the man in the red vest staring at me with a look of disgusting pity on his face, shaking his head he started to walk away.
I glared at his back for a moment and spat at the ground, then picking up my hat and placing it on my head, I continued on my way.
Enjolras' POV
As I made my way back to my flat, I couldn't help feeling sorry for that poor street gamine.
I could've at least thrown her a coin, couldn't I?
After all, it's people like her that we're fighting for, isn't it?
I shook my head to clear my thoughts as I fumbled with my keys.
Once I was inside, I locked the door and walked over to the window. I then opened it and looked out into the darkness.
I sighed as sat down on the sill and breathed in the night air.
I would wander the streets at night more often, but I was always so tired after the meetings at the Café Musain, and besides, to walk the streets at night was suicide. You never know what type of vermin are lurking in and around the sewers, pretending to need help, but really planning to steal everything you hold dear.
"Maybe that's why I didn't help the gamine up or even throw her a coin." I thought as I took off my boots and my shirt.
I then resolved to forget the girl as I closed the window and went to bed.
A/N: There you go! Sorry if the chapter's a little short. I'll try to get chapter 3 up as soon as I finish writing it! Please review!
