Marius wandered into the dance hall and up to the lunch table. He reached across to pick up Eponine's jacket before blindly stumbling into a blonde girl, about 5"2.
"Oh I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there." He exclaimed, stabilising he girl. She looked up and at one Marius lost his ability to talk or think. She was pretty but in Marius's eyes she was a godess. The girl also was taken back by Marius. Of course she had had crushes before but she'd never felt like this! Especially about someone who she had never met be over, a complete stranger.
"Hello..." He began.
"Hi..." She replied.
"I'm Marius Pontmercy. Science. And you are? Won't you say? Will you tell?"
"I'm Cosette English. Is this your first year?" She asked.
"No I'm in my second... You?"
"I just started here." She said blushing a little.
"Well then welcome to Cambridge! Would you like to dance?" He asked shyly.
"I would!" She cried excitedly.
They danced through one song, then another and another into half an hour of songs. They fell in love tremendously quickly as if in a fairytale, as if it were meant to be. Both of them agreed to themselves that it was.
Marius glanced up at the clock, startled. He had been gone half an hour!
"Oh no! Cosette I'm sorry... I have to go... My friend is waiting for me! But here..." Before he left he grabbed a napkin and scribbled his phone number onto it.
"Call me..." He said handing her the napkin and winking at her, and Cosette's heart melted.
