:D :D :D :D This is awesome. The whole thing felt so real, and I loved the intersection between the scene and the the college and the whole idea of being new and trying things out. You did a great job with Nick--he gave me bad vibes from the get-go and then the confrontation wound up being more humiliating than traumatic, which was a giant relief and also... very real-feeling. I love all the banter, and how well you tied together the bandom folks and the OCs (and Nicole! \o/) into a single story.

Excellent story, o writer whose secret identity is totally mysterious.
