Chapter 4 - Finally

Chapter 4 - Finally

Lunch break was weird. I just questioned where Enjolras was and from the boys reaction, I guess my suspicions were right. He is indeed here, alive and...well, I guess. I could still recall how he looked like, perched on top of the barricade, waving the red revolutionary flag.

Currently, I'm in the comfort room, redoing my tie and brushing my locks. I had Chemistry next and I'm lucky I get to spend it with 'Ferre. After washing my hands, I decided to grab my school bag and leave the comfort room once and for all.

"Thenardier!" I heard 'Ferre shout my name and I turn around to meet the familiar boy.

"Let's go?" 'Ferre asked, handing out his hand to me. I gratefully took it, and we stride to our destination, Chemistry Class.

When we were walking towards the classroom, alot of stares were directed at me. I even heard a few whispers which, I may say, were not really whispers because Combeferre and I could hear them.

"Isn't she the new girl?"

"Are they a couple?"

"They look kinda cute together, don't you think?"

Believe it or not, it made me feel awkward. I could tell Combeferre was getting uneasy too. I felt his tension between us. I gave his hand a squeeze and told him, "Calm down."

That did the trick. He sighed, "Right, Ponine. So...I heard that on our Music class, we get to be on the gathering of concours."

I looked at him, "Well yeah. I guess the three of us are playing, huh?"

"Frankly speaking, yes. I can play your accompaniment, if you'd like.", he gushed, looking down on our hands.

I hummed the melody, "I guess I'll play Ave Maria by Schubert, is that okay?"

We were already in front of the Chemistry lab. Got no time to lose, we have Music together in the next period. When we entered the lab, we immediately spotted a seat on the front row.

"'Ferre, let's sit there." I told him and we walked towards it. As I walked, my eyes darted on the familiar blonde hair, and deep blue eyes. It can't be. I couldn't believe myself. It was him. He was really here. Enjolras is here. Right in this classroom. Right at this very moment.

He was writing something on his notes and he is undisturbed. He looks pretty good wearing the uniform.

Enjolras was his last name. He never told us his first name. Says he prefers to be called by his last name rather than his first name. A charming young man capable of being terrible. He is angelically beautiful. He's very much like Combeferre. Strong-willed and sharp-witted, he is. I guess he's either a Law or Politics Major. It seems like him to choose those majors. During the revolution, Enjolras was the chief. Combeferre was the guide. Combeferre was gentle, as Enjolras was severe. If Enjolras represented the logic of the revolution, Combeferre represented its philosophy. They were different though, its logic could conclude war, while its philosophy could only end in peace. They were best friends - Combeferre and Enjolras. The other was an upright man, the other was a wise one. Enjolras is more forceful. Combeferre is more humane. He loved the word 'citizen', but he prefers the word, 'man'.

"'Ponine, you okay?" 'Ferre asked me and I shook my head, I must've zone out, again. I faced 'Ferre, "Yes, I'm okay. Don't worry about me." I smiled at him and sat on the seat beside him.

"Ferre, is it really him? At the back.", I gulped when Combeferre turned to see him.

"Oh, he's here." said 'Ferre facing me with a smirk plastered on his face.
