~Virgil's POV~

As Roman held me, my phone kept buzzing.

"Just ignore it," Roman whispered.

Then a knock came to the door.

"Hold on, dear," Roman whispered again and let go. He got up and opened the door.

"How is he?" I heard Emile ask.

"He's fine. Just in shock." Roman said and let the others in.

Emile immediately hugged me. I slowly hugged back.

"It's okay, Virge..."

My phone buzzed again. Roman sighed, frustratingly and sat down next to me. Emile stopped hugging me and sat down on the other side of me. Everyone else also sat down around me. Roman put his arm around my waist and kissed the top of my head.

I put my head on his chest. Roman searched through his pocket. He found a handkerchief. He rubbed it under my eyes, clearing my eyeshadow and white foundation, revealing my freckles.

"Cutie," Roman said and kissed the top of my head again. I blushed and hid my face more into his jacket. 

Then the door opened, revealing Mr. Bonds.

"What are you kids doing in there?" He asked.

"Um, we can explain," Roman said.

"I got time. Follow me to my classroom and tell me all about it."

~~~~~

We explained the situation and Mr. Bonds kept looking at me. He nodded.

"I understand that. The same thing happened to me." He said.

"Really?" Everyone asked.

"Yep, actually, the one who outed me was Virgil's father."

"Wait, what?" I asked. "Does that mean...?"

"It does mean I'm gay." He said. "I even have a boyfriend."

Then there was a crash in the back room.

"Are you okay, Deceit?" He asked.

"Wait, Deceit?" I said.

"I'm fine... everything hurts..." He groaned. He walked out of the back room with his keyboard case in hand.

"You're in music, Deceit?" Roman asked.

"Um... no."

I looked at him. He sighed.

"Yes."

"What instrument can you play?" Emile asked.

Deceit opened up the case. "Piano. I can also play the guitar."

"Right. There was also something I needed to tell you, Virgil." The teacher said.

"What is it?"

"I was wondering if you could perform a solo on stage."
