February 14th: Valentine's Day; also known as the memorial day of all singles. "It's time again", Éponine thought on the way to school. Everywhere on the street, she met couples, and people holding gifts like flowers, chocolates, heart-shaped balloons, or cheesy stuffed animals. And it will probably be the same at school.
When the girl arrived at the schoolyard, she saw some of her friends. Courfeyrac, who was waiting at the entrance, immediately ran towards her and kissed her hand. "Have a good day, Mademoiselle Éponine!"
Shortly afterwards, Grantaire came and shouted with his fist raised in the air: "And another shitty Valentine's Day!"
"R, are you drunk again?" Asked Éponine alarmed.
"No, dearie! We only get drunk in the evening." He responded, grinning, after pressing two wet kisses on her cheeks.
Courfeyrac rolled his eyes and looked for the rest of the group, while Grantaire was talking to Éponine. "Eppy, I thought about tonight."
"Tell me!"
"Yesterday I found a karaoke bar -"
"You know I hate to sing in public!", interrupted Éponine.
"Pleeeaaase!" Grantaire again made his puppy eyes, which he mastered so well that one could not help but surrender.
Éponine sighed. "Well, where is this bar?"
"Karaoke bar." Grantaire corrected her.
"Anyway, where is it?"
"Um, a little further away ..."
"How far?"
"Half an hour's walk from here?"
"I'll tell you right away, I don't intend to walk half an hour in the evening!"
"I can organize a chauffeur!" Grantaire tried to save him.
Éponine raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
"Enjolras has a driving license."
"Do you really think he's driving us?"
"If I beg enough, I think yes."
Éponine shook her head in amusement and ruffled her best friend's black curls. As if on cue, Enjolras appeared and patted Grantaire on his back. "How are you, Enjy?" The boy asked.
"Normal, you?" The blonde replied.
"What do you think? It's Valentine's Day after all ... "
"Jehan will be happy," commented Éponine.
Enjolras laughed briefly. "And here he is!"
Grantaire and Éponine turned around and saw Jehan, smiling over both ears. "A lovely Valentine's Day to you all, my dear ones!" He exclaimed as he hugged them all.
"You too!"
Somehow, Jehan's cheerfulness always raised the mood in the group. "Where are the others?" He asked.
Grantaire shrugged his shoulders. "Let's go inside."
After two dead dull school hours, there was a break. The students streamed massively into the cafeteria, which was just large enough to accommodate nearly two thousand people. When Les Amis were sitting at a table, Courfeyrac suddenly called, "Who is single on this table!"
Éponine, Grantaire, Enjolras, Feuilly, Bahorel, Courfeyrac, Jehan and Combeferre.
"Okay, guys. I thought about the following: tonight at about 8 pm we will meet at this karaoke bar and then we will have a nice evening. I'll send you the address later, "Grantaire explained.
"Who is 'we'?" Asked Bahorel.
"Does anyone have a driving license?" Courfeyrac asked, ignoring Bahorel's question.
Enjolras answered. "I have one."
"Do you have time tonight?"
"Yes."
"Could you drive us?" Éponine asked shyly.
"Whom?"
"Those who live too far away."
"And how many would that be?"
"Courfeyrac, Grantaire, and I."
Enjolras thought for a moment, then nodded. "As long as there are only three people, I can."
"Thank you, Apollo!" Exclaimed Courfeyrac exaggeratedly, throwing his arms around Enjolras dramatically.
Now Marius and Cosette came to it. "Hello!" Cosette said smiling.
"What are you doing today?" Marius asked.
After no one announced his plans, the couple told the others about their Valentine's Day. "... And then we make a romantic picnic in the park. That will be so beautiful! ", The pretty blonde cried excitedly.
Éponine did not really listen. Ultimately she did not want to know what the boy she was in love with until recently was going to do with his girlfriend on Valentine's Day.
I'm sorry that there isn't much Enjonine yet, but it takes some time and there will be more of it in the next chapters. Review if you liked it, or if you have something you need to say about it. And sorry if there are some mistakes.
