1:Eponine- Bad Boys

I decided on pasta and once I had paid I sat down with Chelsea, Mia, Destiny and Leah. These girls as well as Jaymi were my only other friends that weren't of the male gender. As I began eating Jaymi ran over to our table with a new person who I had never met before. "Guys," She panted "this is Cosette, and I was wondering if it was ok if she sat with us because she is new here," We all nodded and both girls took a seat. When I looked at Cosette it took me back to a time when I was about 9 years old.

*"Mamma, where has cousin Cosette gone?" I asked my Mother as she made breakfast for me and my brother Gavroche. "My dear Eponine, she has gone. A man, a friend of your Auntie Fantine, came last night with adoption papers." "But where has she gone and will I ever see her again?" "I don't know where they went my dear but it is most certain that you will run into her again."*

2 years after that my family moved from Manchester to London and I started Saint Michel High School. It was here I began to forget about Cosette and now she is here again all the memories of out childhood together came rushing back to me.

"Eponine. 'PONINE!" I must of dazed out because I could see all the girls staring at me. "Sorry I was thinking about something. What were you saying?" "We were wondering if you wanted to come shopping with us after school, you know since we hardly see you anymore." "Sorry girls I can't, the boys got me into a detention and I can't miss it since it is Javert who gave it us."

"I mean this in the nicest way 'ponine but all those boys seem to do is get you into trouble." I sighed before replying "That is exactly why I hang out with them Mia. They aren't afraid to get into trouble."

Eponine: Some people call them rebels
But I'm far from terrified
'Cause somehow I'm drawn to danger
And have been all of my life

It feels my heart's divided
Half way between wrong and right
I know I'm playing with fire
But I don't know why

Yeah, the bad boys are always catching my eye
I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind
Even though I know they're no good for me
It's the risk I take for the chemistry
With the bad boys always catching my eye
Ooh, bad boys

Some think it's complicated
But they're straight up fun for me
I don't need no
It's nothing more than what you see here

My heart still feels divided
Halfway between wrong and right
I know I'm playing with fire
But I don't know why

Yeah, the bad boys are always catching my eye
I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind
Even though I know they're no good for me
It's the risk I take for the chemistry
With the bad boys always catching my eye

Grantaire: Hey s-shawty can't help it she so, so

Addicted to them fellas
With even the alphabet
She only sings the crooked letters

Let mama take all the risks
For that chemistry, she like them tougher than leather
Not even the paws, it's more like a mama bee
Out lost that's on the reg'lar

By any means necessary, girl
She likes them ruthless, that's my world
It's not the news it's what I heard
To get them more the merrier

It's not a big surprise
I know them bad boys catch your eyes
Look at her walk when I go in disguise
You'll have them shawty, don't worry, you fly

Eponine: Yeah, the Bad Boys are always catching my eye
I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind
Even though I know they're no good for me
It's the risk I take for the chemistry
With the bad boys always catching my eye

Yeah, the Bad Boys are always spinning my mind
I said the Bad Boys are always catching my eye
Bad boys, bad boys

Once I had finished, the bell signalling the end of lunch rang so I jumped onto Grantaire's back and he carried me to Music. Since our music teacher is one of the nicest people ever she always lets us do what we want so Grantaire and I decided to go into the piano room because nobody else was using it. Once we were in the room, I placed myself in front of the piano and let my fingers begin to play Greensleves which was the song my Grandmother taught me to play before she died. When I had finished Grantaire began to applaud me. "Wow, I didn't know you could play the piano 'po." "Yep, it is one of my many hidden talents." We just talked for the rest of the lesson and I told him about Cosette and he listened intently to my problems like he always does. When the bell rang we both said goodbye to Miss Cooper and headed to Madame Musain's classroom for our detention,

On our way there we met up with Marius and Courfeyrac. Marius grabbed a hold of my arm so that we fell behind the other two. "Eponine, who was that girl you were talking to today. Not your usual friends the new one. What it her name?" "Who Cosette. She is my cousin. Not seen her in years today is her first day here. Why what is so special about her?" "Cosette, such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Will you do something for me. Find out where she lives for me." "What will Mr. rich boy give me in return then?" "Anything your heart desires."

If only he realised that what my heart desires is him.
