Camie was stoked to get invited to the "sort of party" that the UA group was having. It was cool to be part of something.

Even if Shishikura had really been so extra this week. What had gotten into him? He would not leave her alone.

She didn't want to let on that he was getting to her either. 

Why was it any of his business whether Bakugo took her seriously or not? She didn't even care if Bakugo took her seriously!---well, anymore than he had been, and she was not a joke! Sheesh, Shishi had issues.

She kind of felt more nervous about the party though, because of all the things he'd been saying, and Moto had said a few things too, but she'd been kind of laying off the past two days.

She didn't believe they knew what they were talking about, but, then again, there could be stuff she would never get about "serious" people, like Bakugo, Momo, and Todoroki. It was a little weird to hang out with them when they had almost nothing in common.

Camie tried to push those concerns aside as she always did. 

She put on a cute outfit and some light make-up, though she didn't go super fancy, just a little dressier than usual to show it was an occasion.

She showed up right on time of course, because she traveled by portal.

Everyone else was gathered around a large room. It wasn't in the dorms. They were waiting, looking nervous.

Momo had dressed up slightly too, not really noticeably, just she wasn't wearing lounging clothes.

Bakugo and Todoroki were just wearing street clothes. Looked good though. It was rare to see Bakugo out of work out clothes.

Camie caught herself staring and shook herself. Why was she extra spacey today?

"Hey, Pikachu!" She waved at Kaminari, the safest person.

He nodded. "Camie, can you stop calling me that...? Everyone is calling me that now."

"It's cute," Camie said.

Jiro shook her head.

"Hey, Camie, guess what," Kaminari said.

"You and Jiro are dating!" Camie said.

"What? How did you know?" Kaminari was wide eyed.

"Bakugo told me, duh," Camie said.

"Oh...Bakugo talks about us?" Kaminari said.

"Sometimes," Camie said.

Jiro shot Bakugo a wary look.

Bakugo pretended not to have heard any of that.

"So you came." Todoroki glanced at Camie. "And you're fully aware of who else will be here...if he has the guts to show, anyway."

Dabi was hiding in an adjoining room. "I told you this is not going to end well," he said.

"You said you would allow it," Shine said, "I told you, it's more efficient."

"I said I could get why it would be, but I didn't like it."

"I thought that was a yes."

"No, it wasn't!" Dabi snapped.

"Easy there," Wally said, "You'll have to meet them again eventually, man. We're always getting into trouble, and if you end up helping or needing help, you might have to work with them. Why no just get the awkward part over?"
