A/N: I'm sorry that it's been a long time since I have updated – I have been very busy. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter. It's not as good as the others though. Once again, sorry.

Chapter 4: Meeting The Others

Eponine now confidently walked into the cafe with Jehan by her side. They hadn't even sat down before Courfeyrac made a comment;

"You two look like you're a couple now. You're with each other nearly all the time! Are you two a couple." Eponine laughed while Jehan tried to stop himself from blushing.

"No! We're not a couple! Yeah, we are with each other nearly all the time, but that doesn't make us boyfriend and girlfriend, does it Jehan?" Eponine exclaimed. Jehan felt a little bit hurt inside. "No... No it doesn't." Feuilly gave Jehan a sympathetic look before sipping some of his tea. "There you go. However, you never know, we might end up together one day!" Eponine joked. Jehan laughed, and ordered himself a drink. The others all joined in and laughed apart from Enjolras - he was reading a book again. Jehan hoped that Eponine was telling the truth - that they might end up together one day, however he didn't keep his hopes up. "So, Enjolras, are you the leader of this group?" Eponine asked Enjolras. Enjolras turned to look at her, looking slightly annoyed,as he was busy reading. "Yes I am." he replied. Then he turned back to his book. "Do you always read a book?" she questioned him again. "Yes, I find books very interesting - especially non-fiction, however I do read fiction. Actually, I'm reading a fiction book now."

"What book are you reading?" she asked him. Enjolras closed his book to reveal the front cover. Eponine smiled. "I love that book! It's amazing. Have you nearly finished it?"

"No I haven't. I do agree though that this book is amazing." Enjolras exclaimed. They continued to chat about the book, while Jehan continuously stared at Eponine.

"Careful Jehan, try not to drool all over the place!" Courfeyrac joked in a whisper. Jehan looked at him with a look full of confusion and shock. "Wh-What?" Jehan asked in a confused tone. Courfeyrac shook his head and smiled at him. "Don't try to fool me Jehan. I know you like Eponine in a 'I want to be her boyfriend' way. Any person who can see you with her knows that." Courfeyrac stated, still whispering.

"Fine, you're right. Is it really that obvious though?" Jehan asked. Courfeyrac nodded.

"Oh. Please don't tell anyone about my feelings for Eponine." Jehan pleaded. Courfeyrac nodded again. "Don't worry, I won't. I promise." he reassured. Jehan sighed quietly in relief, as Eponine stopped talking to Enjolras and turned towards Bahorel who was drinking a bottle of cider. He saw her looking at him, so he put his drink down and smiled. Jehan felt a tinge of jealousy growing up inside of him, as Eponine smiled back at Bahorel.

"Hi Eponine." Bahorel said.

"Hey Ba-. Sorry, I've forgotten your name." Eponine replied. Bahorel smiled.

"Don't worry. It's Bahorel."

"You look very strong, Bahorel. I'm guessing you work out regularly." Eponine exclaimed. Bahorel smiled, blushing a little bit. "Thank you. And yes, I do work out regularly." he explained. "Well I'm impressed." Eponine said, and then she turned towards Courfeyrac, even though she didn't really like him when she first met him. "So you're Courfeyrac, the one who flirts with every girl." Courfeyrac gave her a cheeky smile.

"So you remembered me then." Eponine rolled her eyes at him.

"How could I not remember you?" Eponine replied. Courfeyrac winked at her. Eponine realised what she just said. "Not in that way." she added. Courfeyrac gave her a fake frown.

"Aww... I thought you liked me." he joked. Eponine shook her head.

"In your dreams." Eponine said simply. She turned towards the drunken guy who she knew that she had to stay away from, however she knew that she couldn't give first impressions on everyone. "And you, the drunken one." Grantaire put his wine bottle down and looked at her. He laughed. "Is that my name now? 'The drunken one'?" he asked, his voice slightly slurred. Eponine smiled. "It can be if you want it to be, the drunken one." she replied with a grin. Grantaire smiled. "I prefer Grantaire or 'R', but if I think that I need a new name, that'll be it." he explained. Eponine nodded, and smiled before she sipped her coke. They all seem extremely nice. At least I know that I can get along with them all. she thought to herself.
