When Yuri woke up the next morning he realized two things. 1) He fell asleep during his call with Beka. And 2) His face hurt like hell. He ran to the bathroom to inspect the damage. Yuri took one look at himself in the mirror and loudly exclaimed; "I look like a fucking raccoon!" Yuri stomped back to his room to get dressed before going back to the bathroom. He opened the drawer next to the sink and got out the eye shadow pallet he and Beka bought for his Welcome to the Madness skate. He took out his brushes and began to try and cover up the damage. It wasn't a horrible makeup job, but he still grabbed a pair of sunglasses to add to the cover. As he walked down to the kitchen Viktor ran up to him to inspect his face.

"Yuri, what did you do?" Viktor did not look pleased.

"I covered it up." Yuri walked over to the table and sat down. Yuuri had made a Japanese breakfast that morning consisting of; fried rice, natto, a fried egg, and miso soup. Food that really didn't require a lot of chewing. Yuuri just gave him a pat on the head and they all sat down to eat. Yuuri and Viktor were discussing what they wanted to work on during their practice that afternoon, Yuri was on his phone scrolling through Instagram. He saw that Mila and Georgi were doing just fine back in Russia. Phichit was posting too many selfies as usual. Otabek finally got on board with the whole social media thing as Yuri went and liked a picture of his motorbike. Chris had posted another overtly sexual picture that Yuri just had to show everyone at the table so that they could suffer with him. And last was JJ. Even though He hated the jerk, he followed him to spy on the enemy, or teammate now... What every he still didn't like him! He even had his new friends on Instagram now, but they hadn't posted that morning. Yuri ate up, grabbed his backpack and made his way to the car. They drove in silence. When they arrived at school Yuuri and Viktor turned to him.

"Yura, if for a second you don't feel ok with being there just shoot one of us a text alright?" Yuuri looked concerned. He only had Yuri's best interests at heart. Viktor nodded in agreement.

"I'm fine." Yuri scoffed "I'll see you after school."

"Wait! Yuri. Yuuri and I decided to hold the wedding on June 9th so keep that in mind in regards to missed classes."

"Ok, see you after class."

Yuri stepped out of the car and walked inside. Instantly he saw Thomas and walked over to the group. They were all standing around in front of the trophy cases.

"Dude, you look like an early 2000's scene kid." Thomas was referring to Yuri's outfit. He was decked out in complete black. His boots were black, his pants were black and had too many zippers. He wore a black Metallica shirt and his black and his black and leopard print hoodie. He even had black sunglasses. Yuri tipped down the glasses so that they could see his eye shadow.

"In my humble opinion, I suggest keeping the sunglasses on. The eyeshadows a bit messy" said Olivier

"At least it's all one colour instead of the mixed catastrophe it was this morning." They talked for a bit before Yuri ran down to get changed before dance. The class was uneventful. They mostly worked on prepping for the dance show. They were in 4 group dances, and once Ms. Lavelle heard who Yuri's ballet teacher was in Russia, she decided to give Yuri a solo in the style of his choice. They had a month and a half to prepare. Not only did they have to pick music and costumes, but they had to all help choreograph the dances. These dance classes were defiantly chiller than the ones he took with Lilia back in Russia. While they were blocking the dance Yuri was always front and centre. Being the only boy in the class has its downsides. Once class was over Yuri got changed and made his way down the clogged back hallway to his English class. He met up with the group and they all walked in and took their seats. They started out the class with quite reading, so Yuri got out his book that he brought from home. When Mrs. Donavan made her rounds to check that everyone was reading. Once she got to Yuri she stopped.

"Yuri, this is an English class. You need to be reading an English book."

"We don't have any books in English at home. They're all either in Russian or Japanese."

"Fine, I'll let it slide for today but tomorrow I expect you to have an English book." Mrs. Donavan continued her rounds. Yuri kept reading. He didn't want to read an English book. His grandpa had given him this book then he turned 14 and it was his favourite. After silent reading time, they all got back into their groups from the day before and read act two of Romeo and Juliet. Once again Yuri and is friends finished with time to spare so they just talked.

"So Yuri, we want to know more about you. So… how bout a game of questions. We ask you a question, than you get to ask us one." Said Samantha

"Sure."

"I've got one!" Exclaimed Chris. "What's your favourite colour?"

"Black." Yuri gestured to his outfit. "What's yours?"

And so this went on, all five teens shooting questions back and forth that ranged from favourite food to most annoying thing your parents do. "They keep hugging and kissing in front of me. I hate it!" once the bell rang, the group if friends made their way to the cave to eat lunch. Everyone had a normal looking lunch; sandwiches, cold pizza, soup. Yuri had a bento box that his Chichi had made him.

"Man that lunch is so cool!" shouted Thomas

They all ate and enjoyed the company. Yuri told them what life was like is Russia and they told him what things there were to do in Calgary.

"We have Heritage Park. It's like a park that teaches you about confederation. We have some malls. South Centre is like a 10 min walk from here. Callaway Park is like a 20 min drive out of the city. It's cool to go without parents hovering around. And in July we have the Calgary Stampede. It's a 14 day faire where we have rides, games, deep fried everything, and the rodeo. You have to dress up all western. It's pretty much mandatory." Explained Samantha.

Eventually, the bell rang and Yuri and Samantha made their way to sports med. That class was uneventful. The continued to learn about foot injuries and muscle structures. Once sports med was over Yuri made his way as fast as he could down to the change room to get ready for gym class. Even though Daniel was gone, Yuri didn't want to chance a repeat of yesterday. He opened his locker, grabbed his cloths, and booked it to the bathroom stalls to get changed. When he walked out some people save him dirty looks but didn't say anything. Yuri joined up with Thomas and Olivier as they walked outside to the back field to play some flag football. Yuri very quickly decided that he didn't like the sports at all. It was rough and hands on and had none of the grace and power that skating and dancing had.

Once gym was over Yuri grabbed his cloths and got changed in the bathroom again. He couldn't wait till he gets top surgery. No longer having to wear a binder and being one more step to being biologically male was something he wanted so badly. It was something he was discussing with his dads and that they were going to try to get done that summer. Yuri got changed, said bye to Thomas and Olivier and made his way out to meet Viktor and Yuuri so they could go to the ice rink.

"Was school better today Yurio?" asked Viktor

"Ya. And I have no tests or anything on the 9th and my dance show is on the 1st of June."

"Don't worry, we'll be there." Smiled Yuuri. They drove down the rink and started practice. Viktor and Yuuri had their time earlier in the day so this was all focused on Yuri. Practice went smoothly with Viktor working with Yuri on jumps and Yuuri helping with step sequences. It worked pretty damn well. After practice they drove home, had dinner, and went to work on their respective activities. Yuri worked on his English and sports med homework and texted Beka. Viktor and Yuuri worked on the wedding plans. They had a little over a month to get things in order, but were determined to make it work. With their new life finally starting to settle itself, the small family of three were beginning to fall into place here in their new home.

Fun fact time. At my old high school, the time table schedule flipped every day so that's why Yuri started with dance. Also we only had 2 guys in our class at school, and only 1 at my studio. I used to be a competitive dancer when I was younger. I miss it so much and I just want to get back in that stage. It was so exhilarating preforming and medaling at competitions. Man I miss it. Also a shout out to midnightsky0612. You comment such nice things on every single chapter and it makes me smile every time. Until next time -Shadows
