Eponine stood at the front gates of her new high school, she touched the iron. The gates were designed with a butterfly shape in the center, the school's mascot. She pushed the gate and cringed at the high pitched squeal it made. She stepped quietly into the courtyard, there are grand fountains on either side of her (also butterfly themed), and a giant pink willow tree in the center of the paved path leading to the school doors, around the courtyard there are patches of blue columbine flowers, purple roses, and trees of wisteria. It was a sight, picture perfect. It made sense to have a beautiful courtyard at a rich school, but she was still surprised to see something so elegant.

Eponine reached the front door, she hesitated, she was nervous she would make a fool of herself at the school and would have a miserable rest of the school year.

"Pull it together Eponine, everything will be fine." she tried her best to sum up the courage to go inside. The door swung open and hit in the face, she tumbled down the steps and hit the ground.

"Hey watch- oh sorry I didn't see you there," he held out his hand to help her up, "I'm Blake, you must be the new girl." he smiled at her.

"I'm, uhhh Eponine..." she felt her heart beat faster, she took his hand and stood up.

Do I, like him?

"Well, we should uhhh, get inside then?" he stepped back from her, it was awkward. She realized she was staring at him.

"Yeah! I guess there's no point in trying delay my first day any longer."

Blake laughed, he opened the door for her and she walked inside, Every locker had a unique design painted on the front. They walked down the hall to the office, a nice lady was waiting there with her schedule. She took it.

"First... math,"

"Oh cool me too, let me see that..." he took her schedule, "Awesome! We have the same schedule! This way." he took the second hall on the left, she followed slightly behind so she could watch him, he had spiked blonde hair and green eyes. He was wearing a black and a grey shirt with a beige scarf and a dog tag. She memorized his walking pattern, tip tap tip tap tip tap, before she knew it, he stopped. She looked up from his feet, he smiled, "Here we are." he opened the door for her again and she stepped inside quietly, everyone was looking at her. She wanted to curl into a ball and roll away, Eponine felt a hand on her shoulder, it was Blake.

"Class this is our new student. Please say your name and tell us a bit about yourself." the teacher had shiny black hair pinned up into a tight bun, "Go on then," she heard some students giggle.

"M-My name is E-Eponine..." she swallowed, everyone was staring at her, some were even glaring at her, "I'm f-f-from Kuzoto (Idk it just sounds cool) and I-I-I" she was about to burst into tears, she hated anything to do with public speaking. "I like to.. cook in my spare time."

"Lets give a round of applause for Eponine to welcome her to our school." slow applause rang inside the room, it was very uncomfortable. "Eponine, you can take your seat next to... Brittney."

Eponine looked around the room and found a girl raising her hand and smiling at her, she had a group of girls around her, obviously, she was the popular girl of the school. Eponine slowly walked to the empty seat and sat down, Blake was several seats away from her, she wished she was right next to him and looked at him longingly, she imagined being right next to him, passing notes, staring into his big green eyes...
