Author's Note: Holy crap I appreciate all of you guys who read, followed, favorited, and reviewed so much. You're the best. Anyway, here's chapter 2. Idk when this is going up because of midterms. Just for reference, because I made it very vague. Their school is in Philadelphia, PA because real life not so fun fact, Philadelphia has a soda tax, which will come into play eventually.

Phichit's POV:

I wake up feeling fully refreshed. I haven't gotten this much sleep in ages. I get out of bed, careful not to wake Leo and check the time. It's 2:38 am. Crap. I grab my phone and climb back into bed.

(2 hours later)

I wasn't able to get any more sleep and it's now 4:42 am, so I put on headphones and start getting ready.

"Huh? What time is it?" I hear. I guess I accidentally woke up Leo.

"It's about 4:45. I can't sleep, so I was going to get ready for the day. Did I wake you?"

"Maybe you did, maybe you didn't. I don't know the last time that I got a full night of sleep without waking up at some point." He says, sitting up.

We both awkwardly get ready for the day in silence.

(About 1 hour and 46 minutes later)

We both got ready and now we're just chatting.

"So, what do I need to know about each of the teachers?" I ask.

"Well, Mr. Yakov is the worst teacher. If you're even a second late for class, you'll be in trouble. And if you eat in class, use your phone, or break any rules, it won't be good. Mr. Cialdini is the counselor. You've met him. He's a pretty chill guy. Ms. Lilia is Mr. Yakov's ex. She can be either a really good teacher or an ob-" He explains but get cut off by an obnoxious blaring noise.

"What is that?" I ask.

"My alarm." He says, turning it off.

"That's your alarm?" I ask in shock.

"Yeah. What do you use as an alarm?"

"This." I say before cuing up my favorite song, Shall we Skate. "If you have a song you like as your alarm, it'll help you get up."

"I'll try that tomorrow." He says and sets it up. I suddenly hear a tapping at the window.

Leo runs to the curtain. Behind it is Guang-Hong, all ready for the day. Guang-Hong is holding a sign that says "WAKE UP!"

I write back "Good morning J We're up."

I feel my phone buzz. "Hey Leo. Yuuri's already at school. Should we get going?"

"I'm ready if you and Ji are ready."

I write a message to Guang-Hong asking if he's ready and he says he is.

We go over and Leo knocks on his door. It opens immediately. "Morning, Ji." Leo says with energy.

Guang-Hong just stares at him for a moment. "Who are you and what have you done with the real Leo de la Iglesia?"

"It is me."

"Prove it."

"Babe. It's too early for this."

"Ok. You are the real Leo." Guang-Hong exits his house and locks the door.

We start walking in silence when Leo suddenly gets an idea.

"Do you guys want to do something together this weekend?" Leo suggests.

I respond "Sure, but what would we do?"

"We could watch Harry Potter." Guang-Hong suggests.

"I've never seen it." I admit.

"Let's binge watch the series." Guang-Hong suggests.

"That's a great idea. Sleepover and binge watching. Clear a good 20 hours for fun." Leo says.

(1 bus ride later)

We arrive at school and sign in. I try to find Yuuri.

"I'm here." I text him. I start running around school looking for him.

After about 5 minutes, I find him in the hall on the third floor. He's sitting with a girl.

"This is my sister, Mari." Yuuri says. "She's a senior." Mari and I shake hands. She then returns to groggily doing homework.

"He woke me up at 5 am to make sure we aren't late." She says. "We weren't late. We were the first students here. We arrived before there was even any staff to unlock the school."

"We're new to the country. We don't know the city very well. Better safe than sorry." He says.

Yuuri and I spend the next half hour talking about our home countries.

(3 hours later)

Yuuri's POV:

I'm still trying to get used to the schedule. Luckily, Phichit reminded me that we have band right now.

"See you guys." Guang-Hong says before walking off.

"He's in the orchestra."

We enter the band room and split up.

A few minutes later, I sit down in the first row with my flute set up. A girl with brown hair and a warm personality is on my left. A slender boy with blond hair sits next to me.

"Who are you?" He asks.

"I-I'm Yuuri Katsuki. I'm new here." I say and I hold out my hand, offering a friendly handshake.

"Let me tell you one thing." He says. "THERE'S ONLY ROOM FOR ONE YURI IN THIS SCHOOL AND THAT YURI IS ME. YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME, YOU FAT PIECE OF-"

"Yuri Plisetsky, don't use such disgusting language." The band director, Ms. Lilia orders.

"Whatever." The other Yuri says before tuning his flute.

Yukko offers to switch seats.

(43 minutes later)

The bell rings and I start to head to class. I'm walking to Spanish when I feel my arm get yanked. I turn around and notice a kid with black hair in all black clothes next to me. It's Seung-Gil from history.

"Take my advice. You don't want to get on Yuri Plisetsky's bad side."

"What exactly was that kid's problem? And who exactly is he?"

"Yuri Plisetsky, more commonly known as the Russian Punk to some. He's a freshman. He has a cold bitter personality if he doesn't care about you. He lives in a primarily Russian neighborhood with his grandpa and Victor, a 12th grader. Victor is Yuri's cousin. I'll fill you in later, but I have to go." He says before walking away.

I can't help but wonder if America is as great as it sounded.

Author's Note: I think this is a good place to end chapter 2. I'm sorry it's horrible. Midterms suck. I promise future chapters will be better.

Post Author's Note: Today is the 18th. Sorry I haven't updated sooner, but life sucks. I'm updating today and not Sunday because tomorrow is my birthday so I'm kind of giving myself the day off. Also I can't update next week because my computer's volume isn't working so I have to send it in to get it fixed, so I'll be computerless for a week.
