Evangeline Brown was a woman - nay, a girl at the wondrous age of twenty. She was a girl that had just finally moved out of her childhood home during her last month of being nineteen. She and her friend Susanna were now roommates in a cosy home that sat just on the outskirts of L.A., where Evangeline would often venture to to capture the city's hustle, bustle, glamour, and brokenness in a still photograph. She would usually have her Walkman at her side, getting lost in the mix of her favorite artists, eras, and decades. And when she wasn't snapping photos, she was occasionally catching rides to the next city over, picking up any trash she seen when she was walking, and then hitchhiking back home where Susanna had already ordered in their favorite meals.

After the pair finished eating, cleaning up, and showering, they would head to Evangeline's room to listen to records and talk for as long as they felt like that night. They would discuss rent, work, school, music, politics, films, and everything else, even telling stories or sharing any new plans and desires. Susanna would complain about her coppery locks occasionally, making it known at all times that she pined after Evangeline's long dirty blond waves, but Evangeline always found it entirely ridiculous, as her hair was always poofy and frizzy and becoming tangled, and Susanne's hair was so thick, silken, and straight.

"You have such long eyelashes, Angel, it's absolutely enviable," Susanne sighed ever so forlornly, her long legs stretched out behind her as she allowed her upper body to simply hang over the side of Evangeline's bed.

"Suse, you have perfect eyelashes already - and besides, mine might be long, but they're blond at the tips and you can't see them very well. And look, you don't always have peach fuzz growing at the corners of your lips like I do," Angel assures her friend in a soft and soothing tone, her voice a bit on the deeper side with a rare lisp. She's never been huge on looks, see; of course she stayed clean and nice-looking, with her hair trimmed and parted down the middle, her nails kept short and straight and covered in usually-peeling polish, her clothes always clean and smelling of her: wild honeysuckle. Her hair was never really messed with, apart from trimming, washing, and brushing. She kept her brown and golden tresses out of her face with a simple scrunchie or headband.

"So, I looked through your things in the bathroom and found your too-hidden white strips. Tell me, what's his name? Have you guys, like, y'know, done it? Did you let him put it in your butt?" Suse asks suddenly, wiggling her eyebrows. It was like her to suddenly change topics, as most of the time by their late talks her ADD medication began to wear off as she became sleepy. But that doesn't stop Evangeline from choking just a bit as she sits up, blue-green eyes wide before she's chuckling and shoving her friend off of her bed the rest of the way.

"Shut up right now, Susanne Ethell Cotton, or I might set your hamster free in the middle of the night. I told you, I'm going to a concert - a very important one, I might add. It's the Harry Styles concert, and as you know I've always been a fond fan of One Direction - Harry especially. Idunno, it's hard to explain without sounding 'crazed' and whatnot," Angel says, pausing and taking a few deep breaths. "I just really think he and I would hit it off, if we were just given the chance. It's a bit of a drag that he's such a 'celebrity,' or at least treated like one, seen like one. Just forget it. But I've told you, there's a small meet and greet and I spent my small fortune of savings to secure myself a spot. And I'm gonna make him remember me."

Susanna stares for a few moments, before she's laughing and and slapping a palm against the floor, even going as far as to point at her friend before wiping away a nonexistent tear. "Sweetheart, I can assure you that every other person within 1,000 feet of him are going to be doing that exact same thing. But you go ahead and whiten your teeth."
