"Hey!" Leanne yelled at Eponine as she hurried out the main building. "Where are you off too in such a hurry and lookin so nice?"
"Eponine blushed, "I'm meeting Marius in the park."
"Leanne laughed, "just remember to flirt. Any guys a sucker to flirting."
Eponine laughed and blushed before heading of towards the park.
Meanwhile, Cosette sat in the library, various classic literatures were scattered across the table in front of them. A girl with dark brown hair wandered across the shelves towards her and sat down opposite. Cosette smiled briefly then returned to her books, slightly perturbed by the stranger sitting with her.
"Hi." She said all of a sudden.
Cosette looked up, startled, "uh...hello."
"You don't know me, but I know you. Uh sorry that sounds creepy. You're dating Marius Pontmercy, right?" The girl asked.
"That's right..." Cosette set down her books.
"I have to say I was surprised when you two got together I mean... Everyone had their money on him and Eponine Thenardier." She said.
"I'm sorry... Who?"
"Eponine Thenardier. The two of them are in separable. And have you seen the way they flirt with eachother? Eponine told me herself that she's in love with him."
"I'm sure they're just friends... Marius wouldn't do that." Cosette told herself this more than she was telling this girl.
The girl laughed, "exactly! You're a freshman, you're young and pretty and naïve and guys like Marius Pontmercy go for girls just like you for one thing and one thing only... And I think you know what." Her voice had turned cold.
"That cannot be true..." Cosette stammered.
"Fine. Call him up. I bet he's with Eponine." The girl challenged.
Cosette knew she couldn't back down to this without looking pathetic. She grabbed her phone and punched in Marius's number and let it ring.
"Hello." His chirpy voice rang like bells through the speaker.
"Hi. Just calling to say... Hi." Cosette stammered, she had not thought this through. "Where are you?" She blurted out.
"Just at the park with a friend. You?"
"The library... What friend?"
"Just a friend... Cosette are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah! I'll see you later. Love you." She hung up the phone.
"Just a friend." Leanne chuckled, "follow me."
Leanne led to Cosette to a window overlooking the park.
"Look!" She pointed to Marius and Eponine on the swings. Eponine through her arms around Marius, burying her head in his shoulder. Marius smiled and leaned into Eponine.
"At the end of the day he'll be nothing but trouble." Leanne told Cosette.
Cosette turned away. "Excuse me," she said running away, angry tears clouding her vision.
