(Flashback – Yuuri, Yuuko, and Takeshi sit in the lobby of Hasetsu Ice Castle)

"Our next skater we have and up-rising figure skater from Russia, Victor Nikiforov…"

"Hey Yuuri, have you heard of him? His routines are amazing!", says Yuuko.

The music plays and the Russian skater starts his routine.

"Wow!"

Yuuri can't help but stare at the television in awe. Since then Yuuri wanted to become like Victor in every way, till the day came where they could compete together on the same ice.

(Present day)

Yuuri wakes up with the sun shining in his face. He knew that this day would be the start of a new life for him. It was his first day of high school, and this was also the year Yuuri would make his senior debut. Yuuri was known to be a little awkward and shy when it came to interacting with others, but when he was on the ice, you would think that he was the most confident person in the world. But thanks to Yuuko and Takeshi, he would change little by little.

Yuuko and Takeshi were in their final year of high school, so Yuuri would only get to spend one year of high school with them. But he was determined to make this year the most memorable, as well as the years to come.

After eating breakfast, Yuuri leaves for school and meets Yuuko and Takeshi half-way.

"Hey Yuuri, guess what?" asks Yuuko.

"What's up?"

"Our school is getting a foreign student this year. No one knows who it is, but he will be finishing his last year here. Isn't that cool!"

"Mhmm," was all Yuuri could manage. Why would anyone want to move to such a small town, let alone a foreigner?

"Well, we should help him settle in, and help him make lots of friends!" Yuuri said with excitement. He knew this was one step he could take to making new friends.

They arrive at school and change their shows inside the entrance. They hear a commotion at the schools' gate and look to see a fancy car parked at the front. The door opens and Yuuri can't believe his eyes. The person who steps out of the car is none other than Victor Nikiforov. This year was going to be interesting indeed.
