Chapter 2:

The next morning Nick woke up the sound of his harsh alarm. He looked over at Jeff who was already dressed and looking in the mirror fixing it hair, blazer, tie, etc. trying to make himself look perfect for his first day of school.

"You look great, Jeff." Nick smiled a little as Jeff jumped at the sudden noise

"Oh, uh, thanks, Nick…" Jeff bit his lip looking into the mirror again, taking a deep breath

"Hey, everything's going to be okay, alright?" Jeff didn't look over or speak; he just simply nodded as Nick went into the bathroom to get himself ready.

Jeff went about his day without speaking to anyone, except for Nick that one time they had ended up going back to the dorm together between classes.

After all of his classes were over, Jeff went back to the dorm to get ready to go to his first Warblers meeting. Needless to say, Jeff was scare shitless, but he knew Nick would be there with him, which made him feel much better.

One they got to the meeting, Nick made sure to go into the room first while making sure Jeff was still behind him. They walked in and sat down on the couch, listening to Hunter Clarington, the captain of the Warblers. Hunter made everyone introduce themselves, and when it got to Jeff, he sort of… Froze up. Jeff bit his lip, looking down, and mumbling his words.

"What was that, Blondie?" Hunter smirked at him

"My name is Jeff, I'm 15 years old and a freshman." Jeff mumbled another time, his face going bright red in embarrassment.

"Speak up, Blondie!" Hunter yelled at him, as Jeff whimpered shyly

"His name is Jeff, he is 15 years old and a freshman. Don't yell at him, please, he's just really shy…" Nick said rubbing Jeff's back comfortingly.

"Well, he can't be shy if he's going to be a Warbler, from now on you're going to have to talk for yourself. I'll let this one slide, Blondie." Hunter stated, very rudely before all of the other Warblers introduced themselves.

Once the meeting was over and they were dismissed, Nick and Jeff started to walk back to their dorm

"Are you okay, Jeff?" Nick asked softly, trying to be nice, but not trying to be creepy.

All Nick knew was that he really cared for this boy, more than expected, and it kind of scared him.

Jeff only nodded, not saying a word. Nick noticed that he does a lot when he's nervous. Nick was quite good at reading people, that was one of his few gifts he really loved.

"You know you can always talk to me, right?" Nick said almost staring at the beautiful blonde boy next to him.

"Yeah, I know. Thanks, Nick." Jeff said quietly as they got to their room and Jeff unlocked the door going inside and sitting on his bed, putting his headphones in blocking out the world; just like he always does.
