Javert Goes to School
"Come on Javert, rise and shine." He mumbled something about flames and swords as I hit him in the head with a pillow. "Get up! You are not going to make me miss the bus."
"What in the hell are you talking about? He lifted his hands to block out the sun from the window whose curtains I had just thrown open.
"It's almost 6:00, you're lucky I let you sleep this late. I, on the other hand, have already showered, got dressed, ate breakfast-"
"What are you talking about?!" He demanded, stopping me mid-list.
"Why, school of course. If I have to go Javvie, so do you."
"Are you insane? I'm more than twice your age, I don't have to go to high school"
"See, you just proved that you do. 16 goes into 52 more than three times."
"Yes, but I'm the 43 year old version of myself."
"Still closer to three! And anyway, I really don't care. You're coming to school with me and that's final." Javert glared at me and then at Enjolras who stood smiling at the door.
"What are you looking at pretty-boy?"
"Nothing" he answered innocently.
"Why aren't you torturing him?"
"Oh, he'll come to school eventually, I just don't want to have all the girls jump him on the first day." Enjolras's smile disappeared and Javert smirked at him. "Besides, he's not as annoying as you are."
"Don't you think you're going to get some strange looks walking into school with a long-dead, 6 foot tall police inspector?"
"Oh, Javvy, you're so silly! Not that I would care but you'll look different to other people, people who don't know you. You'll look about my age."
"What?"
"You know, I'm sixteen, so you'll look sixteen. But everyone who knows you, you know, me, my friends, people who are obsessed with Les Miz, they'll all know that it's you even though you look different. To everyone else, you're just a new student"
"Ah, so you're a witch?"
"No, that's just how magical fanfiction works."
"Okay�" He paused for a moment. "I don't want to go to school!" Javert continued to whine as I pulled the covers off of him and threw his uniform on his head.
"You sound like a three year old! Come on, get dressed."
"No!"
"You're acting childish, don't make me have to call the prefect. He would not be pleased"
"You wouldn't"
"Come on Javert, you know me, do you think I'm lying?"
"You are an evil woman" he mumbled as he slammed the bathroom door.
"I love you too." Enjolras's smile had returned and he had listened to our conversation silently. Heading back to his bedroom he felt the need to comment.
"Remind me never to get on your bad side." Javert emerged from his room ten minutes later, showered, dressed, and presentable.
"Here, eat your oatmeal, I'll pack a book-bag for you."
"But I don't want oatmeal, I want Lucky Charms!"
"Today is the first day of school, you have to eat oatmeal."
"Says who?"
"Says I" Javert grudgingly ate his oatmeal as I went through everything he needed. "Binder, looseleaf, pens and a pencil."
"Is that all I need? Why does your bag look so big?"
"Because I have two binders, a pen, a pencil, a ruler, a highlighter, whiteout in a pen, whiteout in a bottle, glue in a bottle, glue in a stick, colored pencils, tape, a CD player, CDs, a graphing calculator, a regular calculator, a folder, two journal pads, a lock, some floppy disks, a stapler, some staples, a voice recorder, a digital camera-"
"A little overboard, don't you think?"
"No, always be prepared right?"
"So you're a boy scout now?"
"Sure Javert, I, a girl, am a boy scout. Of course"
"And you need two different kinds of whiteout and glue because�"
"I'm a psycho."
"Oh, like that wasn't obvious."
"Come on, it's time to get going. Enjolras, come say goodbye!"
"Good bye" He called out from upstairs. "And good riddens" he added
"Yeah, I love you too. Just wait until next week." The second we were out of the house, *poof*, Javert looked my age. "Goodness Javert, I wish I carried a mirror."
"You mean you have all of Staples in there, but no mirror?"
"Are you implying that I need a mirror Javert?"
"What do I look like?"
"Here, I'll take a picture with the digital camera and you can see yourself." Click. "Here, look how adorable you are."
"Ahhhhh!!!" Imagine a scream of pure, unadulterated horror. "I'm a teenage boy!"
"Oh, but you're handsome even, though don't ask me how that happened."
"Hey!"
"I'm sure I'm going to have to keep my eyes out for roving girls with you."
"I assure you that will not be a problem."
"Come on, I don't want to miss the bus."
"Mayhap you should have thought of that before you forced me to come along." With a few last pushes to the bus stop we arrived there just in time to get on. Javert had fun using the metrocard, and finally we were situated on the bus. Two friends of mine, Natalya and Rabail, eventually got on a bus. "Wow, she's short"
"Javert!" The hour busride to school was spent trying to keep Javert and Natalya from hurting each other, and finally we arrived at school.
"Welcome to SI Tech"
"This is your school?" It looks like an old prison to me. And what kind of name is 'SI Tech'?"
"Staten Island Technical High School if you must criticize."
"Wow, could you be a bigger nerd?"
"Shut up Javvy, I don't want to have to push you into oncoming traffic. Here, we have to go to the cafeteria" I ushered him into the large, putrid-tiled room.
"Eww, I'm having a flashback to all of my worst nightmares."
"Christine!" Javert was momentarily forgotten as I saw my friend.
"Karen, long time no see!"
"Yeah, because you didn't come over the house two days ago or anything."
"Oh, it's you."
"The sentiment is mutual you freaky woman." Javert had neither forgiven nor forgotten Christine's innocent comment in my guestbook about Javert being sexy. Sophie arrived to more of Javert's glares, he was still angry at her for combining his name with Joly's and getting 'Jovy'.
"What is he doing here?"
"If we have to be tortured then so does he." Ah, my turn to receive the glare.
"Did you bring Enjolras?"
"And have every girl in the school try to jump him? I don't think so."
"Damn."
More to come, more to come, I said brief not
