A/N Hello again! I tried my hardest to make this a funny chapter. I honestly don't know if you'll find it funny or not but hopefully you will! :)
DISCLAIMER: Sadly, I still don't. *breaks down crying*
Eponine's POV
…an "I'm bored." came from R. 'Ferre paused the movie and asked, "Then what do you want us to do? Play a game of Parcheesi?" R grinned and said, "No, not Parcheesi. Truth or dare." All of us exchanged glances and nodded. I groaned. "Why does it have to be truth or dare? Can't you think of any other games other than truth or dare? Seriously, R."
"Whatever. So, Marius. Truth or dare?" asked Bahorel.
"Umm…Truth."
"Why were you and 'Sette making out?" Marius' face reddened and everyone burst out laughing. "I…uh…was…umm… We're dating." The laughter died down and everyone stared at the couple, wide-eyed. Marius quickly turned to Courf and asked, "Truth or dare?" Courf looked at Marius challengingly and replied, "Dare."
"Alright. I dare you to tell me if you're dating and how many girls you've dated so far."
"Oh, please! I'm always dating chicks. I've dated… Let's see, I've dated Caroline but she was too kissy, Florence but she was too skinny, Marie but she was too much of a chatterbox, Clarisse but she was too fat, Jeanne but she wanted to get "serious", Gabrielle but she was too oblivious in my actions, Amelie but she was too tom-boyish and Valerie but her hair was too short. So 8 girlfriends so far and I'm dating one now. Her name's Azelma and she's a junior." As soon as I heard "Azelma" coming from his mouth, my head shot up and I stared at him. "What? You're seriously freaking me out, Ep. Stop it." Courf said. I continued staring at him like he was a crazy person so he just sighed exasperatedly and screamed, "For God's sake, Eponine Thenardier! What the hell is wrong with you?!" I shook my head and said, "Azelma…is my sister." Courf gaped at me and said, "Well, I never would've guessed that because she doesn't look anything like you." He answered. I chuckled and said, "Am I hotter or cooler?" Everyone burst out laughing like maniacs and was practically rolling on the ground. I joined in but Courf stopped the laughter. "R, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Okay. What is your favorite song?"
"Umm…" Then R started singing "Rude Boy" by Rihanna and we all laughed until our stomachs hurt. "Hey, Joly!" R shouted over the laughter, causing it to quiet down a little. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Great. Do you like mosquitoes?"
"What do you think? Of course I don't! They suck my blood and then I might get malaria. I mean, I know I'm delicious and all, but I don't give a damn about them! That also happens with chocolate. Although I like to eat chocolate, it melts on my fingers. Am I seriously that hot?" He replied rather quickly. Everyone, literally, went as crazy as drunken people. "Ep, truth or dare?" Joly asked me after the laughter ended. "Dare."
"I dare you to prank call Enjolras. Now. With the house phone. He probably doesn't have the number." My feet glued to the spot and I froze completely. "What do you want me to do?"
"You heard me." I slowly walked over to the bedside table in Courf's bedroom and brought the phone over to the living room. "Okay. What do I say?" I asked. Courf, with his phone already on, started searching for funny lines to say. "Hey, try, 'Did you fart? Because you blow me away!'" Bahorel, the one with good humor, said. I fell to the floor, laughing as others did so, too. "Or maybe try, 'If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.'" R said, smirking. "Oh my God, R! That's disgusting!" I practically shouted. I dialed Enjolras' number and waited for him to answer as I turned on the speakers. "Hello?" He said.
"Good evening. My name is Edith. I am calling from the survey industry. I am going to ask you questions, if you don't mind." I started with my best American accent.
"Sure. Anything."
"Do you smoke?"
"Umm…No."
"You don't sound so sure. I am going to repeat. Do you smoke?"
"I said no!"
"Alright. How long did you wear your diaper for?"
"Can I not answer that, please?"
"Fine. On a scale of one to Adele, how tough was your last breakup?"
"WHAT?! I'm sorry. I didn't have a girlfriend before this."
"Okay. Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living?" As soon as I said that, I could see Marius, R, Courf, Bahorel and Bossuet working their way to the kitchen, looking really, really drunk. They were laughing very hard and they were knocking over each other. I almost died laughing at them but I was too busy watching the guys, I missed the answer. "Pardon?" I asked but he already hung up. We all started laughing our asses off until R came back from the kitchen and asked, "Do you like him?" I was puzzled and looked at him quizzically. "Do you like Enjy?"
"No. He's broken the promise and he's become another person. He's not somebody that I used to know." Everyone started to sing "Somebody that I used to know" and we started laughing again. "Seriously, Eppy. We all know you guys have been friends since 1st grade and stuff but you seemed…jealous when he told us about Malaria or whatever the bitch's name was." Bossuet said. "Oh my God! Did someone say malaria? Don't come near me because it is contagious!" Joly exclaimed. "Joly, chill. If her name really was malaria then it would be great but it's Melanie. Nobody has malaria." 'Chetta said with her hand over Joly's shoulder. Joly reddened and said, "I have something to say, too. Since we're all playing truth or dare, I wanted everyone to know that...me and 'Chetta are dating." We cheered and there were a couple of "Oh my goodness's". "Anyway," 'Sette started. "You looked jealous. What's going on?"
"Nothing."
"Come one, Ep! Don't make us tickle you!" Jehan said. I laughed. "The tickling incident last time didn't scare the shit out of me so why even bother doing it again?"
"Just say it. Like I said to Enj, 'Spill it. We're not going to kill you.' So now I'm saying this to you." Bahorel said. "FINE! Just stop begging me because it's annoying. I like Enj and I'm jealous that he's dating some popular chick and already sucking her face from the first day."
"Tell him." 'Sette said.
"What?"
"Tell him about it." I shook my head and told her that I'd never do that. Then, of course, everyone started begging me to tell him. "Alright. Whatever." I groaned as I looked at my watch and said that I needed to go pick up Gavroche and take him home. "I'll be back for the sleepover!" I shouted over my shoulder as everyone waved back at me.
Enjolras' POV
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" she asked me after classes were over. "You were smiling like a crazy person, and then you admitted that you like this…this "Rapunzel" of yours, then you just-UGH! I can't believe you did this!" she continued to scream like she was nuts. "Ep, I swear that this is going to be the first and last time you'll hear me say this, but…she's hot." Whoa. Where did THAT come from? I figured I couldn't take anything back so I just left it there and I pretended to fan my face with my hand to make it less awkward. Then, she turned to face me and shot me a deathly glare. "What the hell, Enj! That's not…you. It's not the "Enjolras I know" behavior. You've changed so much in only one day. How is THAT even possible? Three days ago, you still didn't know what love is! And now, look at you!" she shouted again. I shrugged and said, "That's why I said it's going to be the first and last time you'll hear me say those stuff." She suddenly turned around towards the door but I grabbed her arm and turned her to face me. "What do you want?" she asked, looking extremely annoyed. "Just help me talk to her. Please, Ep. I promise to do anything for you. Now that Marius and Cosette are dating and-"
"WHAT?! Marius and Cosette are dating?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" I grabbed her shoulders and calmed her down. "Look, I know it hurts but I'm sorry. Don't be mad at Cosette. She's your best friend and it's not like any of this is her fault." She shrugged my hands off of her shoulder and I saw Melanie walking straight to me. Eponine left the minute Melanie showed up so I was kind of glad that she didn't have to see any of what happened. "Hey, Enjy babe. Let's go. We're gonna be late." She said. I looked at her in confusion. "Be late? For what?"
"Oh, we're gonna have some…fun. And I'm asking you out, if you really wanna know." She went closer to me. Our noses were almost touching. I felt like I was in another dimension where there was only Melanie's face around me. Then she grabbed my shirt collar and pushed her lips onto mine fiercely. She moved her warm tongue into my hollowed mouth and it was playing with mine. I played with it and I felt quite awkward but I didn't stop. After about a minute or two, she released my mouth free and dragged me along with her. "Wait, where are we going?" I asked her as she pulled me outside the school. She stopped and turned to me. "Enjy-poo, it's going to be fun. Just wait and see." She said and winked at me as she chewed her bubblegum. Holy crap. She looked so sexy. I felt like saying to her, "Hey, don't walk into that building…'cause the sprinklers might go off." It was a really cheesy line Courfeyrac taught me when he was teaching me about flirting with girls. She was as hot as hell and I couldn't stop staring at her. A minute later, a pink Ferrari convertible parked in front of us. Damn it, she's rich. She even has her own car! The driver was a man and he, I assumed, was in his late 40's or early 50's. Melanie hopped into the car and dragged me inside it, too. The car drove off and it took about 5 minutes to get to the destination, which I think is, her house. The house was huge and it had 4 floors. The front yard was filled with plants and it was decorated with a two or three birdhouses and some flamingos. There was a huge swimming pool in the backyard and a new and big wooden swing. She led me inside the house and showed me around a little. "Enjy! Come here! Dinner's ready!" She shouted from the kitchen. I went to the kitchen but I was "late" because her house was so big, I got lost. Melanie's mom prepared chicken for us and I didn't say much as we ate and I had a feeling that Melanie's parents didn't like me so much. After dinner, I told Melanie I had to go home and do my homework so she kissed me and I went home. It was the weirdest and best evening I ever had until I came home. "Enjolras! What took you so long? We just couldn't be bothered to wait for you to come back to dinner so we ate already." My mom scolded me. "I'm sorry, mom. I was just…studying with my friends."
"What friends?"
"Combeferre, Courfeyrac, Bahorel, Feuilly…as usual." My mom nodded and I headed off to my room. As I lay down on my bed, my phone rang. "Hello?" I answered.
"Good evening. My name is Edith. I am calling from the survey industry. I am going to ask you questions, if you don't mind." The woman on the other line said.
"Sure. Anything."
"Do you smoke?"
"Umm…No."
"You don't sound so sure. I am going to repeat. Do you smoke?"
"I said no!"
"Alright. How long did you wear your diaper for?"
"Can I not answer that, please?"
"Fine. On a scale of one to Adele, how tough was your last breakup?" Adele?! What the fuck was she talking about? Was she trying to get me to think about "Rolling in the Deep"? That's never going to happen because I hate that song. "WHAT?! I'm sorry. I didn't have a girlfriend before this."
"Okay. Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living?" Oh. My. God. What was she thinking? I couldn't take it anymore so I just hung up and fell asleep.
