The next day, Nero went to the Sparden University's Radio station to have a part-time work. Just in time the DJ made its closing remarks to play a song.

"This is 90.80 Sparden radio, a radio station for the free mind." The DJ said before it played a song. Nero waited at the booth's front door and about in time the DJ walked out.

"Hey." The DJ greeted, standing at the one-step stair of the booth.

"Hi." Nero greeted back.

"You must be Neraine, I'm Luke." The DJ introduced himself. He have short, spiky hair and green eyes, matching his moss green long-sleeve shirt with dark-colored pants.

"It's Nero and nice to meet you." Nero corrected.

"My fault. I must've misread the resume you've sent yesterday." Luke apologized, keeping his neutral face. He walked inside the booth that Nero followed.

"Freshmen not allowed in the booth." He stated before Nero was about to take a step inside.

"Oh." Nero stepped back. Just in time Dante came to the radio station and Luke got outside the booth, holding a box of CDs.

"Hey, I'm Dante." Dante introduced, standing beside Nero.

"I'm Luke, you're late." Luke scolded and walked past them. They both followed Luke.

"Okay, so since you two are just starting here at the radio station," Luke said while walking. They stopped at a table as Luke putted down the CDs. "Here's a job for you two, Nero and Dante. You're going to stack these in those shelves."

"Since this table is a bit rusty, please, no sex on the table." Luke lectured that made Nero's eyes widened because of surprise, however, Dante didn't seem to get all weird in Luke's statement.

"There's more CDs there. Get back to me as soon as you finish this batch." Luke said before he get back to the booth. Nero and Dante walked towards the box and started to take a couple of CDs.

"So, your name is Nero, huh?" Dante started a conversation. However, Nero didn't even looked at him.

"You sound like you saw me before." Nero answered. Dante made a grin.

"I did. You're staring at our car yesterday." Dante answered, talking about the moment where a guide is telling Nero how to get to the Baker Hall and he saw the red car.

"This sucks, I wanna play music…" Nero mumbled.

"I didn't came here for that reason." Dante said. "I came here because I love stacking CDs."

Dante walked at the back of the shelf in front of them.

"You know those boys who looks so scary and mysterious that wears glasses, and the moment he removes those glasses, he turned out to be the son of Aphrodite?" Dante asked while stacking CDs to the shelf while Nero is still picking the CDs.

"I don't wear glasses." Nero answered. Dante stopped for a while on what he's doing.

"Well, you're halfway there." Dante answered and continued on what he's doing. Nero stopped his urge to roll his eyes and went to a shelf to stack the CDs he took.

OoOoOoOoO

Nero listened to his remix while writing his notes down. Credo walked in to their room.

"Nero, we need to talk." Credo's tone is serious. Nero sighed as he take off his headphones. Credo sat down on Nero's bed. Angelo is just sitting at a corner and doing his homework quietly.

"What's the problem?" Nero asked.

"You still haven't joined any clubs, Nero?" Credo asked straight-to-the-point. Nero stood up, preparing his things to take a bath. "I saw a lot of people in your age having fun sitting at the grass and studying or talking about how fun is it in their clubs."

"There's no club here that interests me, Credo." Nero answered as he walked towards his small closet. Credo sighed.

"Except that old-looking radio garage?" Credo answered back. "Nero, that place is dark, it's dirty, and there's like… 3 weird people working there?"

Nero turned around as he heard the last statement. "Well, 4 now."

Credo stood up and walked towards him.

"You've got to try something new, Nero. Alright, let's have a deal." Credo replied. "Join any clubs here in the campus, and if, college still didn't interest you, you can quit college, and I'll help you move to L.A."

Nero's eyebrows raised from the last statement.

"Seriously?" Nero asked for assurance. Credo nodded.

"But, I really have to see it." Credo added. "This is college, Nero. Join in!"

OoOoOoOoO

After having a conversation with Credo, Nero decided to take a bath. He brought a small bucket that contains his body scrubber, shampoo, and soap. He carried his towel and wore his bathroom robe. He's singing "Summer Paradise" by the Simple Plan as he's walking towards an empty bathroom stall.

My heart is sinking
As I'm lifting up
Above the clouds away from you
And I can't believe I'm leaving
Oh I don't kno-kno-know what I'm gonna do

He kept singing even though he had found an empty stall, thinking it's alright since it looks like he's the only one around the whole bathroom.

But someday
I will find my way back
To where your name
Is written in the sand

Nero closed the shower curtain after he had taken off his robe and hanged his towel outside and placed the bucket at a small table wall inside the bathroom.

'Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Singing la-da-da-da-da

"You can sing!" Gloria said, naked. She's standing beside the curtain shower which she quietly opened on the left side. Nero was shocked and embarrassed.

"Dude!" Nero yelled and he covered his junk and avoided looking at the naked Gloria. He is blushing madly and scratched his nose.

"How high does your belt go?" Gloria asked, not bothered about the naked Nero or Nero looking at her while she's naked.

"My what?!" Nero asked as he turned off the shower and scratched his nose, still avoiding looking at Gloria.

"Nice tattoo." Gloria said, looking at Nero's right hand. She looked on Nero again. "You have to audition for the Symphonies."

"I can't concentrate on anything you're saying until you cover your junk. What the hell are you doing here?!" Nero answered. However, Gloria continued like he didn't hear Nero.

"Just consider it." Gloria persuaded. "One time, we sang back-up for 'Prince'. His butt is so tiny that I can hold it for like, one hand."

Nero turned around. "Seriously, I'm nude."

"You're singing 'Summer Paradise', right?"

"You know Simple Plan?"

"Have I been living under a rock? Yeah." Gloria answered. "That song is my jam, my lady jam."

"That's nice." Nero said, waiting for Gloria to leave.

"Can you sing it for me?" Gloria said.

"Dude, no! Get out!" Nero replied in a bit hysteric tone. He's a bit uncomfortable with women, much more with the naked ones.

"Not for that reason. I'm not leaving here until you sing, so…" Gloria declared. Nero was left with no choice but to sing the song. He turned around, looking only at Gloria's face.

'Cause I remember every sunset

Gloria decided to sing along with Nero.

I remember every words you said

We will never gonna say goodbye

Singing la-da-da-da-da

Tell me how to get back to

Back to summer paradise with you

And I'll be there in a heartbeat.

They stared at each other for a couple of seconds. Nero's still uncomfortable while Gloria's smiling on him.

"Oh, right." Gloria said. "I was getting comfortable with… all this."

"You should be." Nero whispered back. Gloria handed him his towel and Nero used it to cover his (Well, you guys know it, should I have to type it?). A boy suddenly peeked at his stall.

"You have a good voice." The boy said, looking at him while smiling. Nero had his surprised face.

"Thanks." He said in a stern voice. Gloria smiled at the boy, which Nero is guessing that it is Gloria's boyfriend. As if Gloria had noticed the awkwardness, she decided to leave Nero alone.

"Oh," She said, she closed the shower curtain as she left. "See you at the auditions!"

OoOoOoOoO

Nero attended his classes. Even though he's not interested in it, he have to attend or Credo will kick his ass. However, he's not even listening to the teacher. The reason he's wearing the jacket every day is to hide his earphones and placing his hand on his ear to listen to his songs. He kept wondering if he should really audition for that acapella group. Well, Gloria saw him in all-glory nakedness so, it looks like he's left with no choice.

He felt a blush crept up to his cheeks. Last night, he's trying his best to forget that moment. It was really disturbing somehow, considering it took all his willpower not to look down on the girl's body. Not that because he's a pervert, he's pretty sure that he's not one, but…

The bell rang, meaning that the classes were over. Nero stood up as he carried his bag and left, going to the school's grassy plain to listen to his songs.

OoOoOoOoO

The Devil's Chorus are in their basement. They're having fun time with themselves, particularly Revy. Outside, it looks like an abandoned, cottage tree, but inside is the real deal. It was cozy, funky, and it gives off that 'devilish but fun' atmosphere.

Vergil, Ombre, Gilbert, Lucef, and Wulfer were hanging out at the basement's Jacuzzi and Revy's rocking out the whole place by strumming an electric guitar and Astor keeping up the beat of the drums.

"This is the best place in the world." Lucef raised his fist.

"Yeah, we heard that for the nth time, Lucef." Ombre told him. Lucef frowned.

"Do you have anything more to do about your life aside from teasing me, dimwit?" Lucef said.

"Aside from repeating your statements, do you have anything more to do about your life, wimp?" Ombre shot back. Gilbert was in between the two who rolled his eyes because of annoyance.

"Guys! I'm here between you. If you want to argue, please tell me to go, Jesus Christ!" Gilbert yelled at the two. The two shot him an icy glare.

"Can't you see that we're trying to argue, you dick?!" The two yelled back in unison. Wulfer placed his hand on his forehead.

"Hey, guys." Wulfer couldn't help but butt in the conversation. "Vergil's here and if you're going to keep up like that, something's going to happen."

It was too late when Wulfer said that. Vergil left the hot bath, placed a towel around his lower part and poured the water with 3 cups of oil.

"Have fun getting boiled up." Vergil said as he turned the temperature higher. The other members yelped because of the high temperature and the feeling of the oil lingering on their body. They got out.

"What the hell, dude?" Wulfer said. Vergil kept his neutral look.

"Don't test me." Vergil answered. "I'm getting sick of all your arguments."

"Hey, hey." Revy walked towards them and placed his arm over Vergil's shoulder. "Keep a cool head, guys. This is not a good image for us now that the auditions are coming."

"Yo, Verg." Revy whispered to Vergil's ear. "Heard your bro's gonna join us."

"It's Vergil." There was a slight hint of irritation in his voice. "And I have no clue on what you're saying. However, if that guy wants to join us, I have no problems."

"I think we're going to have problems with the Sparden Symphonies." Gilbert said. "Kyrie and Gloria are finding and persuading good freshmen singers. Especially that white-haired freshman guy."

Revy putted up his bored face.

"Those bitches can do whatever they want." He smirked. "We always take our enemies down, right?"

"Besides," Lucef butted in. "With Kyrie around, I think they're going to sing that same shit they sang at the Acapella Nationals 4 years ago."

"Then we have no problem!" Revy's grin widened. "It looks like we're going to have a fun year."

OoOoOoOoO
