Disclaimer: I don't own Les Miserables. Cosette's POV. Please review!

My first day back home and already everyone looks at me differently. People who hadn't wanted to be seen with me before Christmas break were now exchanging numbers with me, complimenting me, some boys have even whistled. I guess, when you date the king, you've got to be at least a princess.

There was only one girl in school who refused to smile at me. Eponine. She and Enjolras have been inseparable all day. Marius isn't on speaking terms with Enjolras, but when I asked him why, he just told me not to worry and kissed me. He does that sometimes. When I ask a question he doesn't like, he just kisses me. It makes me wonder if he even likes kissing me, or if it's just an easy distraction.

Any trouble we have, though, is being resolved on Wednesday. Auditions for the spring musical, Grease. We're shoo-ins for Sandy and Danny. We practiced all vacation. What's more romantic than being your boyfriend's onstage love interest? It'll be perfect.

Even better, no Eponine. She's much too, erm, alternative for the drama club. She'll probably be too busy licking Enjolras's uvula to do anything as frivolous as drama. Of course, she has to come to the performance. I couldn't bear for her to miss Marius and I doing You're the One That I Want. That would be an awful shame. It's not like she's in love with him or anything.

That bitch tortured me all through my childhood. I'm gonna make senior year hell for her.
