Wednesday night brought about Cam's party and despite how angry she was at him, Evangeline was huddled outside his dorm with Luce, Arriane and Penn. Arriane was draped in a pink feather boa and after knocking on Cam's door, she looped it over one of the reds and ensure that it covered the camera completely.
"You made it." Cam greeted and shot a smile at Luce before wrapping the smaller girl into a hug.
Shooting a glare at him, Evangeline walked straight past Cam and knocked his shoulder with hers as she passed, this forced Cam and Luce to separate.
By the time the two teenagers had entered the room, Arriane and Evangeline were already half way through one of Roland's black market champagne bottles. As Arriane got up on a desk to make a speech, Evangeline noticed the precarious position Cam and Luce were in. Blood boiling, the girl stormed over to the makeshift bar and poured herself another drink. Despite the fact that she couldn't get drunk, the fleeting buzz made her feel much better.
"To Luce." Arriane raised her glass. "Who was obviously zoning and missed my entire welcome speech and who will never know how utterly fabulous it was - wasn't it fabulous, Ro?"
Roland smiled up at the angel with fond eyes before patting her ankle affirmatively. The atmosphere in the room meant that it was impossible for anybody to not have a good time. Including Evangeline.
As she sat with Roland and Arriane, the smile on her face refused to slip despite the fact that Cam still remained glued to Luce's side. Especially when Roland announced that karaoke would be starting and he was taking requests.
"Daniel Grigori!" Evangeline yelled, taking any chance she had to embarrass her 'brother.'
"No!" Daniel yelled from the back of the room instantaneously.
"Aww, the silent Grigori sits another one out." Roland said into his microphone. "What about the not-so-silent Grigori?"
"I'm not that loud." Evangeline defended, loudly. Everyone in the room laughed at the irony of the statement.
As bass notes boomed throughout the room, Roland started to sing along to the beat. A couple of people started to dance on the spot (there was not much room to actually dance) Arriane grabbed Evangeline and twirled her around causing the pair of them to start dancing together. Taking a look behind Evangeline, Arriane saw someone approaching the pair and quickly made herself scarce.
"You look really pretty tonight." A voice whispered into Evangeline's ear, their hands on her waist.
"Go fuck yourself, Cam." Evangeline hissed without turning to face the boy before storming off. Stood alone, Cam couldn't help but smirk at the good angel with the fiery temper.

Once the party was over and everyone had returned to their dorm rooms, Cam remained in a room full of trash. Sighing to himself, he brushed the rubbish of his bed and laid down on it, thinking about the past. A dangerous thing to do but something he couldn't help but do when he was left alone with his thoughts. Luckily, a knock at the door prevented him from thinking too hard. Or too far.
"Hey. I figured you'd need some help cleaning up. You've never been good at it." Evangeline stood on the other side of the door, her lips twisted into a shy smile.
"Come in." Cam gave her a genuine smile before opening the door wide enough for her to slide past Cam and into the messy room.
Handing Cam some black bags, the pair of them got to work on cleaning away the cups and empty bottles. Silence resounded throughout the room interrupted by the occasional sound of a glass knocking against each other. As the last of the plastic cups had been cleared away, two black bags were already sat by the door full. Both fallen angels sat on Cam's clean bed letting out heavy breaths of exhaustion.
"This room is cleaner than it was before the party." Cam chuckled but Evangeline didn't join in, she was too busy staring at the floor. "Hey, E, are you okay?"
Instead of responding, Evangeline crashed her lips against Cam's in a spur of the moment thing. Seeing the way Cam acted with Luce earlier had stirred a jealousy in Evangeline that she hadn't known she possessed. And now she was acting on that jealousy by winding her hands in Cam's hair and pulling his face closer. Responding to the kiss, Cam placed his hands on Evangeline's hips and pulled her into his lap, holding her close to his body.
"Eva." Cam whispered happily, using the affectionate nickname he had created for her hundreds of years ago. As if only just realising what she was doing, Evangeline pulled away from the dark haired boy quite suddenly.
"Cam, I'm sorry. This was a mistake. I-I don't know why I did that." Evangeline stammered, getting to her feet.
"Eva, don't lea-"
"I'm sorry, Cam. This never happened." Evangeline apologised before she rushed out of his room, slamming the door, leaving nothing behind but a confused boy and a distant smell of perfume.
