I have been arguing with my father for what seems like HOURS. Lucky for me, it was one of the better arguments, which means he yelled, there was a lot of cursing, it went on for hours, and I got beat up. A lot. When he left, I stared back to make sure he stayed gone. Gosh I HATE him! The nerve, he's not in charge of me any more, nobody is! I touched the side of my face where my father slapped me. Ouch.

While I was looking toward the entrance to make sure he left, I could've sworn I saw something- or someone. It looked like a person, one that I've probably seen around town. I'm probably just having an angry hallucination, I thought. Or maybe an inspector or someone thought somebody was about to get murdered. I ran to the corner to try to catch the spy, but once I spotted him, he ran off.

It was late, so I decided to go to sleep in the alley.

I woke up early in the morning and I was full of energy. I decided to take an early morning stroll. I thought maybe I could see the boy from yesterday, or see what the horrible people of this town are up to, maybe even burst in on a meeting later.

So I spent my day walking around, not really sure where I was going. The next time I checked the time it was around midday. I end up in the center of town, with everybody else. There are two boys that are demanding everyone's attention.

Suddenly, i realize that one of those boys is the boy from last night. I memorize his hair, and his handsome face although I didn't see all of it last night, but i know it was his. He has that same gleam in his eye that I saw last night, the gleam that means rebellion, leading people in a fun little scam of his. The boys are speaking of a sort of rebellion, meeting up, blah blah blah. I'm not listening to it because do need an excuse to go up to him. I need to ask him about last night, why he was eavesdropping (and whatever he's saying now). And his friend. Oh, that other boy. He is so brave, has that trait, kind of like a leader, an honest fighter, it's amazing. If he were to get to know me better...

No, Éponine. You do not think like that. Tough as a boulder. You definitely do not feel love. Maybe just a strong respect. Yeah, that's it. Strong respect.

But he was so cute, and brave, and extraordinary. How could anybody resist. I mean, I don't even know him. I'm brave. I will go up to both of them, ask the boys about this thing, talk a bit more, the spy will show recognition on his face. I really want to talk to both of them. Leaderly, strong, appealing. My life just got harder. They both seem friendly. It'll go as planned.
