The last bell rings to go to class. It is also known as the bell that officially starts class. Yuuko and Takeshi were always in the same class since grade school, and it wasn't a shock that their senior year they were in same class again. The teacher finishes taking attendance and has an announcement to make.
"Attention class. Before we go to the student assembly, we have a new student coming in all the way from Russia. Please introduce yourself to the class." The teacher instructs Victor to stand in front of the class and he does as told.
"Hi! I'm Victor. Hope we all can get along!", Victor bows and raises himself before giving his famous Victor Nikiforov wink causing the girls to squeal and the boys to grunt in jealousy and anger. He went on talking about his hobbies and his life in figure skating. He didn't have to, but the teacher couldn't find it in him to stop him. He was in left speechless and so was the rest of the class. He spoke Japanese so fluently that you'd think he spent his entire life in Japan. Once he finished his speech, he took the empty seat at the back of the class next to the window and class begins.
The bell rings for lunch and the girls gather around Victors desk so they can eat lunch together. Victor accepts the offers gladly, and seeing how the girls are around Victor, some guys join in too. Yuri came up to the classroom as well to eat his lunch with Yuuko and Takeshi, and doesn't even notice that victor is in the class since he's surrounded by so many people, his silver hair isn't even able to be seen.
The three ate their lunch at Takeshi's desk which was at the front of the class. Yuuri's back was in the direction of Victor and Yuuko was sitting right across from him. They always eat their lunch first before having the usual lunch talk, because Yuuko always scolded them for talking with their mouths full. Once they were done eating, Yuuko started the conversation.
"So Yuuri, how do you like your class? Have you made any friends?"
"Mm, I like my class. But everyone seemed to be in a clique already and I felt as if they talked to me out of pity," says Yuuri in a depressed voice.
"Yuuri! You can't keep thinking that! What if they wanted to talk to you because you are amazing, because you are! You can't keep pushing people away. How else are you going to make friends?"
Yuuri registers what she just said in his mind. She was right. He wanted to make lots of friends and make lots of memories.
"You're right! I'll try harder when I get back to class." Yuuri says excitedly.
Takeshi, feeling a little left out, starts a new conversation.
"So Yuuri, how is your routine going?"
"It's pretty good. I'm having trouble landing my salchow, but I'm sure I'll land it in the competition."
"That's my boy!" Takeshi says this as he drags Yuuri in for a noogie.
Victor hears the word 'salchow' and can't help but turn into the direction it came from. He sees a cute boy being noogied by a boy twice his size, and can't help but chuckle to himself.
Once Yuuri is freed from Takeshi's grasp, Yuuri says:
"I wonder what class Victor is in? It would be like a dream if he could help me land my jumps," says Yuuri in a dreamy like state.
Takeshi and Yuuko look at each other puzzled.
"Hey Yuuri, you didn't notice that Vi-", Yuuko is interrupted by the lunch bell that indicates the students that lunch is over.
"I better get going. Don't want to be late for class!" Yuuri runs off before Yuuko can finish her sentence. Yuuris' class was on the first floor since he was a freshman while Yuuko's and Takeshi's class was on the third floor since their seniors.
Victor wanted to introduce himself to the rather cute boy and ask him of his interests in skating, but the second he stood from his chair, the lunch bell rang and the boy ran out of the classroom. Why would anyone else but him be interested enough in skating to try and land a salchow? He found the boy rather intriguing even though he only heard about three words come out of his mouth. He wanted to know more about the boy, but with Yakov coming for him right after school, he didn't have much time to try and mingle with the kids the boy was sitting with. Well, there was always tomorrow.
That's the end of chapter 3. I was actually typing it out, and my computer shut down without saving my work, so I had to re-write the chapter. It's a good thing I had about a good chunk written down, and I was just adding stuff as I went on. Now I know what Kanye felt like when his child flushed his unheard lyrics down the toilet. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Will probably upload another two tomorrow. Will Victor ever meet Yuuri again? How will they interact if they do? Have they ever met before? Stay tuned.
