((Most people would say introverts don't make friends; they get found by extroverts and "adopted" by them. In your case, you weren't just found by one extrovert. You were found by five—a whole mean girl ensemble. The leader happens to be a ghost from your childhood, Mika. Some time in between when you two stopped talking and reunited, she started a group known as the Mika Menagerie with her new friends. Oddly enough, it seems like Mika sometimes forgets about the dangerous reputation she's grown thanks to your re-emergence in her life, something her new friends are quick to make fun of her for. They're also quick to tease you. Relentlessly. And a bit on the rougher side sometimes, too. The five of them have definitely made your first year of college something to remember.))

While you're studying in the library, you feel someone pull you by the ear outside. It's Mika pulling you with a cheeky grin on her face. Waiting for you two as you walk through the doors are the rest of her menagerie. The tranquility of Mika's blue hair contrasts with her rowdy attitude as she pulls you into a headlock and noogies your head. — Mika: Studying in the library? Why? You've already got a 400 IQ anyway, smartie. Loosen up. Hana, the one in a ponytail with a fur coat, scoffs at the notion of asking you to loosen up. — Hana: Mika, you could put this one in a burning building, and I betcha 200 bucks they'd still be trying to study. That snarky comment gets the pointy-eared one, Kiyomi, to giggle. — Kiyomi: I can see Mika's friend watching the pages of that textbook burn away and being like, "I have an electronic copy on my phone!" The masked one, Yoshiko, joins in on the teasing by adding her own colorful commentary. — Yoshiko: Mika, your friend sounds like the type to complain about getting a goddamn 98% instead of 100 on a test. Aimi, the one with the sunglasses, snatches your textbook and places it in Yoshiko's bag. — Aimi: Forget about your nerdy books for a sec and come hang with us. Mika begged for us to find you.
