A/N: Hey, it's been a tad over a week since my last update because I didn't know where I was going to take this, but here's Chapter 3. Enjoy and leave reviews!

Jeff wandered aimlessly throughout the corridors, hating himself for falling for Nick.

"Hey, Jeff!" A voice called out. Jeff turned to see Cameron running towards him. "I'm really sorry for what happened in there with Nick."

"It's fine. I was stupid to think that the guy I met was the real Nick," Jeff sniffled. Cameron slung an arm on Jeff's shoulder and led him down the hallway.

"Come with me, I know someone who'll help you feel better," he said. Cameron opened the door to a room where a short brunette was leading a group of students through a singing exercise. "Miss Corcoran?"

"Oh, hello, Cameron, come on in," she smiled.

"Jeff, this is our drama teacher, Miss Corcoran," Cameron introduced. "Miss Corcoran, this is Jeff. He's new and I think he just had his heart broken."

"I have a song for that," the teacher winked and moved to sit beside the student pianist.

"We kiss in a shadow

We hide from the moon

Our meetings are few

And over too soon

I have dreamed

That your arms

Are lovely...

I have dreamed

What a joy you'll be...

I have dreamed

Every word you whisper

We speak in a whisper

When you're close

Close to me

"Jeff, love comes in different forms," Miss Corcoran said.

"I know that," Jeff shrugged, "but he didn't have to be such a jerk. He humiliated me in front of all his friends." Miss Corcoran put a hand on Jeff's shoulder and left the room.

"Hey, Jeff?" Someone spoke up. Jeff turned to see a short, redheaded boy smiling at him. "I'm Quint. I was wondering if you wanted to try out for the school musical. We were going to do a talent show, but the idea wasn't very popular."

"I'm here!" A voice announced. "You can start the auditions now." Sebastian strode into the room, his hands in the air dramatically.

"Great," Quint muttered under his breath, slumping in his chair.

"Carpenter, get my music ready!" Sebastian ordered. Quint stood up and glared at the tall brunet.

"Why don't you get your own music?" he snapped. Everyone in the room silenced and looked at Quint fearfully.

"What was that?" Sebastian tilted his head and walked towards Quint. Jeff could see that Quint was trying to keep from shaking. "What did you say to me? I can break you, Carpenter. Now get my music ready."

"N-no," Quint stammered, biting his lip.

Sebastian scoffed and looked at Cameron, who was avoiding his gaze, and then at Jeff, who was watching Quint.

"New kid," Jeff looked at Sebastian at this, "would you tell Quentin here that he's getting on a side of me that he was surely regret?"

Jeff swallowed; he wanted to stand up for Quint, but Sebastian's glare was intimidating.

"He doesn't have to do what you say," he found himself saying before he could stop himself. "No one has to. Just because you're some kind of hot shit doesn't mean you can bully people."

"Wow." Sebastian just smirked. "That's all I can think of right now: wow. Sterling, do you know what happens when you cross me? Of course you don't. This is your first day."

"Jeff, please don't," Cameron whispered.

"Shut up, Cameron," Sebastian groaned, running a hand over his face. "God, sometimes I wish I never had a twin brother."

"Yeah, well, I wish more than enough that you weren't my brother," Cameron shot back. He grabbed his bag and stormed out of the room.

"Come on, Quint." Jeff offered the red-haired boy a hand, which he hesitantly accepted. The two began to leave, but Sebastian stepped into their path.

"You leave this room, Sterling, and I will make your days at Dalton a living hell," he threatened. Jeff rolled his eyes, pushed Sebastian out of the way, and led Quint outside.

"I'm sorry, Jeff," Quint mumbled. "I should have just done what he said."

"Don't apologize, Quint. You did something I should've done at my old school," Jeff smiled.

"Sebastian means it though. He will make your life hell. It's what he's good at." Quint looked up at Jeff worriedly.

"I think I can take care of myself, but thank you." A door opened and slammed. Jeff and Quint looked up to see Nick running into the parking lot. "I'll be right back, Quint."

"Fuck," Nick muttered, hitting the top of his car.

"Nick?" Jeff asked, coming over cautiously.

"Jeff, I...I'm so sorry for the way I treated you in there. It's just my friends don't know I'm gay," Nick explained. "I like you, Jeff, like really, really like you and I don't want anything to mess that up, even me being an asshole."

"Nick, I forgive you." Jeff put a hand on Nick's shoulder. "I understand peer pressure."

"But I..." he was cut off by Jeff's lips on his. Once they parted, Nick was grinning. "You're amazing."

"So are you," Jeff blushed. Nick took a deep breath and tangled his fingers in Jeff's.

"I'll come out when I'm ready," he said, mostly to himself. "Until then, it's you and me against the world, Jeff."

"You know how they make portmanteaus of celebrities' names for their relationships or businesses? Like Bennifer for Ben Affleck and J-Lo or Desilu for Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball? I think ours should be Niff." Nick chuckled and rested his head on Jeff's shoulder.

"Niff it is."

"Oh my God," Sebastian muttered to himself, watching the exchange between Nick and Jeff. "Duval's gay? This is too good. Although, it's not really that much of a surprise."

"Why not?" Cameron piped up from next to him.

"Well, Cam, his best friend is a closet case too. Shapiro, he's so horny he comes to moi for his homo fix," Sebastian explained. "Otherwise, he's just another dumbass skirt-chaser."

"Are you going to blackmail Nick or something?" Cameron eyed his brother warily.

"Now why would I do that?" Sebastian pretended to look offended.

"Because you're a manipulative asshole," Cameron replied without hesitation. Sebastian mulled this over for a moment before nodding.

"You're right, Cam, but I think the immediate outing would be more fitting since I am, as you say, a manipulative asshole."

"Jesus, you never stop." Cameron rolled his eyes and walked away. Sebastian pulled out his phone, took a picture of Nick and Jeff kissing, and put it up on Facebook.

"Let's see you audition now, Sterling, when your chance at popularity is shit."
