A/N: This is basically where we left off, except we're hearing Lukas' opinion on Matthias and Sorina for the first few sentences......... Actually, it's gonna be Lukas's P.O.V the whole time. Surprise! Time for some OOC Norgay!

Lukas' P.O.V

Eh, guess they're okay. Sorina's a bit like me, with her taste in music and all, but the Dane is loud. I guess he has a good heart though? They seemed to get along pretty well, maybe they're dating and haven't gotten around to telling me. I also found out she has a younger sister that acts a bit like the Dane, and is a year younger than Emi. They'll probably be in the same grade. She seems to be a bit distant, but that makes sense. She's moved quite a bit, and probably doesn't want to get too close to others. She also complains about her accent, but I think it's kinda cool. Norwegian accents aren't really special sounding or pleasing to the ear, no offense to my home country of course. She was interested in my life, what I liked, etc which felt nice. Nobody's really gotten close to me since my parents died due to pity, but she did. That's nice. Matthias is a completely different story though. He's loud, a bit obnoxious, and has a strange obsession with Legos. I hit him after the 45th time he mentioned them, but Sorina scolded me, saying "This is my car bro, and I ain't tolerating any of that, even if Matthias deserved it!" "Ey, Lukas. We're at the first local hotspot. You coming?" Matthias asks, slamming the car door shut. "Matthias! I've told you once, I'll tell you again. STOP SLAMMING MY GOD DAMN DOOR SHUT!" Sorina exclaims. "Oh, sorry for the outburst Lukas. Well, not really, but still. He won't get through his thick skull that he's not allowed to trash my property." I smirk. "Need me to hit him again?" "Nope." she states dully. Apparently, The first hotspot is a boardwalk. Like, the one you see in movies with carousels and games and fair food and shit like that. Looks like fun. "C'mon, a few of Matthias's friends are here, and wanna meet you. They're part of this Nordic club, and since they heard you're Norwegian-" Sorina states, practically dragging me to a section of vendors selling things like handmade jewelry, paintings, etc. "The short blonde one is Tino. He's Finnish, moved here about six years ago. The one next to him is Berwald, Tino's boyfriend. He's Swedish, moved here about two years ago. He looks intimidating, but is really a softie. Aren't you Ber?" she states, giving the Swede a hug while he's giving her what seems to be a death stare. I wave politely, trying not to get on Berwald's bad side. He scares me a bit if I'm being completely honest with myself . "Hi! You're Lukas right?" the Finn asks, walking closer to me. "Heh, yeah. You're Tino, correct?" "Yep! Hey, do you want some food? Matthias was supposed to bring us some soft pretzels, but I don't see him." On cue, Matthias runs into us, almost spilling the pretzels he has in his hands. I return the gesture with a death glare. "No need to be pissed Luky! Amelia was running after me, trying to get these. And nothing gets in the way of her and food. Trust me, you'll understand when you meet her. Speaking of which-" Another person runs into us, this time a tanned girl with a short, wavy blond bob. "You there! The one with the pretzels! Yes, you! Can I please have one?" she begs. "Amelia. We've been over this girl. You can't chase after people and beg for their food." Sorina chides, wagging a finger at the girl. "Rina, you're my best friend! You're supposed to back me on this!" Amelia whines. "If it makes you feel better, I'll buy you three later okay? Now stop acting weird.I told you I was showing a new guy around town today, I think. You're not really making a good impression on him, in fact I think you're scaring Lukas." she concludes. Yep, she hit how I feel spot on. Now if I could just get out of here......

Six hours later.......

Dear Journal.

Today was actually fun. I met a lot of locals, including some from my fellow Scandinavia origins. I met a Brit named Arthur, who was strangely interested in magic and the occult. Same with Rina's cousin, Vlad. They seem cool. Also met a kinda creepy Russian girl named Natalya. That reminds me. Stay away from Amelia Jones. She's way too obsessed with food, and is extremely loud. I can't imagine what her brother and other sister are like. I met her half brother though. He's quiet, and keeps to himself. He has a strange infatuation with maple syrup. Anyways, so Emi and Eydís were shown around by this guy named Leon. He's Cantonese, kinda. Emi seemed to be fine with him, and I think Eydi has a crush on the guy. Aww, young love. Anyway, so I got the Dane's and Sorina's numbers before we went home. They told me to call them if I had any questions, and in Sorina's case, just to talk in general. Might take her up on that offer. She's loud, and quick with her tongue, but you can sense she cares inside? IDK, I'm tired. I'm drunk on lack of sleep. Night.

A/N- Chapter two is out! Also, if you have any tips for writing the Nordics and Romania, I'll be happy to take them! They're not extremely developed as the Axis and Allies are so all help is welcome!
