Courfeyrac, Gavroche and me were busy ruining a house, throwing chairs, tables, and all kinds of furniture out of the windows. Down on the streets Enjolras, Marius, Combeferre, Joly, and all the others (except Grantaire, who was drunk even though it was barely midday) were building up the barricade, on which we would be fighting.
"Em! Come help with this sofa!" Gavroche called out.
"Yeah.. Coming..." I had been a little bit beside myself since dad had been on his little visit that evening.
"What's up with you Emma? You haven't really been yourself lately." Courfeyrac said, walking up behind me, patting my shoulder gently.
"Nothin' my dad just gives me the creeps...." I answered him, he raised an eyebrow as I realized how stupid that sentence must have sounded.
"I know..." I said, laughing gently.
"Why does he wear a mask?"
"Distorted face.."
"Oh....."
Gav came up behind us..
"The sofa! Come on guys!" He said.
The three of us carried the green sofa out of the door, smashing the doorway whilst getting out, throwing it onto the road.
"My, my.... So much anger, and passion about some stupid suicide mission." Dad said, shaking his head in disagreement.
"If you're so much 'gainst this thin' then leave... and never come back!" Gavroche snapped, making dad glare at him.
I rolled my eyes at dad, smiling at Gavroche. The little kid had so much confidence, I truly admired him for using it for the right purposes.
Combeferre high-fived Gav for being so brilliant while the rest of us saw Grantaire strolling up the pavement, most definitely drunk.
"I seem to like your idea young one. My dear Emma, please take my arm and accompany back to the Opera House." He said, clearly convinced that I would take his arm and, without argument, leave, the day before the barricade.
"No. I'm helping here at the barricade! Vivé la France!" I screamed at the top of my voice, making dad look embarrassed at me.
"Vivé la France, Vivé la France, Vivé la France." Everyone, also Grantaire and the peasants started chorusing.
"LET THE BARRICADES ARISE!" Enjolras shouted and led everyone to the newly built barricades

Sorry for the short chapter!
I can't say wether the next one will be long or not....
I am considering not writing about the barricade, but mentioning it after everyone is dead....
