Frozen Water //High School AU//

Olli Maatta entered the auditorium of PPG High looking for his friends. His sophomore year of high school was hopefully going to be better then his freshman year, at least less awkward. This year he won't be entering a new school in a different country.
He found half the returning hockey team sitting near the front of the auditorium. He was only halfway to the group and Olli could already hear them going on about something. It was probably better to not know what it was about.
"How can someone move next door in July and you never meet them?" Kris Letang asked his friend Marc-Andre Fleury.
"So, Olli moved next to Horny and he didn't even know who he was until hockey started," Marc tried to defend himself.
"To be fair I moved here in August, then school started a week after," Olli jumped into the conversation.
"That's not the point and you know it," Kris said. "How can you not have run into them."
"Listen Tanger, they came in July, there were four of them and apparently there are five, then they left very early in August. They just got back a couple days ago, it's not like I had anytime to meet them."
"Why would they come and leave right away?" Sidney Crosby asked, having been listening to the conversation the whole time.
"I don't, all I know is they came and left."
"That's not weird at all, you said they just got back a couple days ago?" Patric Hornqvist asked.
"Yes."
"What if an Olympic athlete moved next door to you," Carl Hagelin laughed.
"Yeah, the odds of that happening are about slim to none," Marc said as the bell rang singling them to go to their home room.

The first day of school drags on as it always does. Every class is the same; the teachers talking about their expectations for the coming year. The only saving grace for Olli is he had at least one of his friends in every class, until he went to 5th period.
He didn't see anyone he knew or talked to, leaving Olli to take the first seat he found. Other kids filed into the classroom when Catherine, Kris's girlfriend, walked into the classroom guiding a girl he didn't recognize.
"Hey Olli, have you seen Mr. Boyal?" Catherine asked walking over to the Finn.
"He's hasn't walked in yet," he told her.
"OK, I was hoping to talk to him, but I should probably head to my class. Is it fine for Nicole to sit with you?" she asked, motioning to the girl standing beside her.
"One more thing, what's your next period?" she asked after Olli agreed to her request.
"Lunch."
"Nicole, can you just walk with Olli to lunch, he'll show you where we sit. You can sit with us if you want."
"That's fine." This was the first time Olli heard her speak, and it was pretty obvious she was not from America.
"I'll see you then, have fun in world history," Catherine said before exiting the room.
"I'm sorry, I'm probably just being nosy but where are you from? You don't sound like you're from America," Olli asked near the end of class.
"I moved here from Germany in July," Nicole said. Soon after that the bell rang dismissing them to lunch.
Neither talked the way to lunch or while they were getting their lunch. It wasn't until both were finished paying when Olli finally talked. It was only to direct Nicole towards the back of the cafeteria where Olli, Catherine and their other friends sit.
"See, I told you they would be here," Catherine said.
"Mr. Boyal's could not be any farther away from here," Olli said, sitting down next to Brian Dumoulin.
"That is a crappy class to before lunch."
"You're telling me."
The last people to join the group were Patric and Carl, "What, already in trouble?" Brian asked seeing the two walk towards the table.
"No," Patric said, " Señora Castillo just wanted to make sure nothing would be happening while we were in that class."
"So it was a pre-"
"You're Nicole Mika," Carl said to the girl in question sitting next to Olli. He continued when everyone looked at him, "Did any of you watch the Rio Olympics?"
"Yes."
"Of course."
"Didn't miss it."
"Did any of you watch swimming?" Carl continued.
"Uh...um."
"Swimming isn't that exciting to watch."
"There was always another sport on."
"Well, if you guys watched swimming you would all know who Nicole Mika is," Carl finished. "I was hoping no one would recognize me," Nicole said quietly as everyone turned to look at her.

Notes

The Pittsburgh Penguins/ NHL high school AU no one asked for. While most of this will be based around the Penguins, other NHL teams will be in it. This is going to be based around the American school system as that is what I know. Let me know what you guys think of this idea, feedback is always appreciated.
