Chapter Text
Gavin felt tapping on his shoulder as he began to rise from his slumber. He looked to the window to see that the ground was becoming visible, and then over into the brown eyes of his dear friend.
"Gav...we're here! It's America." Dan exclaimed.
"Mmm, I see. Oh this'll be TOP! I wonder what our new school will be like, what do you suppose Texas is like?"
"I've heard it's lovely," Answered his friend. "we'll know for sure when we actually get there."
The two friends walked down the stairs of the airplane and into the airport. Due to some complications, the two families had to wait an hour or so before their taxis and moving trucks arrived to get them and their luggage, so Gavin and Dan decided to roam around this new land. They saw nothing in this airport that they'd never seen in a British on, but just knowing that this was a different country's terminals and airplane hangars caused the two high schoolers to act like children in a new you store. They would look around inspecting everything, shaking the other's shoulder to get his attention, and then pointing at something. They would look at each other to look at the other's reactions. After awhile they came to a stop at a fast food area in the enormous airport.
They quickly weaved through the crowded cafe to the only empty table still remaining, maneuvering to make sure they didn't bump into anyone and spill their food.
"A toast to a new world." Gavin shouted before taking a swig of his soda.
Gavin and Dan conversed about what they thought their high school would be like, and although it had only been a few days ago, reminisced about their last few days in Great Britain. Sometime later they were interrupted by a male voice.
"Hey guys, mind if I sit? There aren't too many open sits around."
"Oh yeah by all means make yourself comfortable." Dan replied eagerly. "May I ask your name?"
"Geoff. Geoff Ramsey, nice to meet you guys. And you two are..?"
"Name's Dan Gruchy, and this is my sausage of a friend, Gavin Free." He gestured towards the dirty blonde haired brit and he held his hand out to shake Geoff's.
"Hallo there."
"Nice accents. You new here?"
"We actually just got here, we're just waiting for the taxis and moving trucks now. It'll be bloody hours."
The three boys continued to talk, finding out they'd be all attending Achievement High, and that Gavin and Geoff shared a common love for Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto. Geoff explained to them that he and his friends had just came from a gaming convention in LA and offered to introduce them to the group. Geoff led the two younger teens to a nearby arcade in the airport and called out to his friends.
"Hey dickweeds, come meet our newcomers."
He beckoned towards Gavin and Dan and the 4 boys walked towards them, giving their various greetings.
"Dan and Gavin...I would like you to meet Michael, Ray, Jack, and Ryan." Gavin looked over the four males trying to guess their personality based on their appearances.
Michael was a pale young gentleman with brown hair as curly as a pig's tail. The bespectacled boy wore a half annoyed half nonchalant look on his square face, which Gavin guessed was his standard look.
Ray was one of the darkest featured people in the group, a Puerto Rican who came to America when he was 6. He had a small frame and fairly short stature, standing at about 5'9''. He had glasses like Michael, but had a much more pleasant expression on his face.
Jack looked too mature for his 17 years of age. He had a full beard and stood at a decent height. The glasses wearing redhead, probably the most normal of the group, was also the most composed and was more mature than Geoff, the oldest of the boys.
Yet the one who really caught Gavin's attention was the handsome Ryan Haywood. A tall broad shouldered junior with toned arms and calm sapphire blue eyes. His Brownish blonde hair was in waves brushed backwards and to top it all off he had a deep booming voice. Gavin could tell that he was overall a tranquil and kind spirit. Maybe there was something else hiding behind those blue eyes, but the British youth couldn't put his finger on it. All he knew was that Ryan was a gorgeous young man, far beyond handsome. And he smirked at the thought that this new life in America would be absolutely top.
