Character descriptions

Michelle – A slim yet kind of muscular girl with short black hair and bangs that reached above her eyebrows, but didn't cover her grayish blue eyes; her hair was curlier in the back than the front, the front of her hair, her bangs. Were actually pretty straight. Her hands were always covered with Band-Aids, especially her somewhat long and thin fingers. She always wears a black mask that covers her face, no matter the situation, unless she's showering or taking a bath. She could be seen usually wearing grayscale-colored clothes, rarely colorful ones. The silent female is around up to 168 cm.

Kami – A very pale girl with albinism, her eyes are somewhat purple, or rather pastel violet but they hide behind black glasses. Her pupils are white for an unknown reason; she wears her hair in a low ponytail, but when it's loose it reaches a bit over her shoulders. She has a 3-inch scar across her nose, but it's a pretty old scar, so it doesn't hurt. She mostly wears turtlenecks in muted colors and long-sleeved clothes, nobody is sure why though. Her ears are also a bit pointed, like elf ears just smaller. The albino girl is 173 cm in height.

,, Sol '' - A pretty mysterious person overall, not much is known about them besides their appearance, and they rarely speak. They could be seen always hiding their face behind a bunny mask, with black, soulless eyes and even darker slit pupils. their hair is two colored and split in the middle, the right side brownish red and the other just red. They seem to be almost 196 cm.

Alya – A girl with dirty blonde hair that is short, but long on the sides of her face, her eyes are very gray and she wears thin, black glasses; she could be pretty much always seen with at least one or two bandages on her body as she wasn't a careful person, not even a single bit. Her friends call her "Alice" most of the time just because she looks like one. She reaches up to around 168 cm.

' ..bzz.. bzzz.. ' 
I could hear my phone go off, as if someone was calling me, which had woken me up from my slumber. I stretched out my arms and yawned softly meanwhile sitting up and I opened my [colour] eyes just when I felt something heavy fall down onto my chest, making me lie back down on the bed violently.

- .. gh-! the hell..? -I looked up and my eyes slowly focused onto ... my childhood best friend,  Alya , sitting on my chest/stomach area.
- good morning sleepyhead! why weren't you picking up my phone calls? i got worried ! -

- .. what phone calls..? i just woke up.. -
I sighed and reached over to my phone as the girl watched me, I unlocked the said phone and saw 5 missed calls from " dumb childhood friend ".
- ..oh you really did call me.. -
- yeah! why would i say that if i hadn't, dummy? now get up and get dressed! -
I could feel the weight slide off of me and I sat up once again, and quickly got up from the bed as I slowly headed towards my closet when i noticed the [shorter/taller] girl was still in the room.
- oi , get out , will ya? - 
I slightly raised my voice, already getting annoyed by her.
- okay, okay! calm down and don't bite me.. - Alya replied as she walked out of my room and closed the door, I sighed again.
- .. god, she's so dumb sometimes... - I muttered to myself as I put on some of my clean clothes, I put on [full outfit here, just imagine it]; and fixed my [lenght and colour] hair as I heard Alya speak up once again.
- are you done alreadddyy..? you're taking ages to get dressed! - she opened the door fully mid-sentence.
- yeah, I'm ready you idiot. - I laughed a bit as the other girl furrowed her eyebrows a bit,
- I'm not an idiot! - 
- you say , yet you're failing History and Math. - after my words, Alya looked away in silence and then walked out of the room as I followed her. We walked out of my house and started to head towards the school that the both of us go to.

*

I heard the last seconds of the ringing bell which indicated that classes had ended already, I got up and started packing up my things into my bag, just when I remembered what my childhood friend said to me on our way here;
" you should join a club! ..maybe the one I'm in? I know you're not really into sports but , you could join it for me! pleaseee? " 
When I remembered her words , I could even hear her annoying voice and I laughed to myself afterwards, but then flinched when I heard the voice right behind me.
- what are you doing, [name]? everyone already left the classroom! - she sounded a bit worried.
I looked behind myself, my eyes landing onto the dirty blonde haired girl and sighed,
- I just... I was just remembering things. - I replied shortly to her question, though my answer was made up on the spot, it wasn't fully untrue. Just then, I felt a grip on my arm and a tug as i zoned out once again.
- huh...? what.. -
- c'mon! let's go already, and stop day dreaming about irrelevant things! - Alya pulled on my arm as she spoke. I packed my things up fully and let the other pull me to the exit of the classroom.
- okay, okay .. where are you taking me? the exit is on the other way.. - I raised an eyebrow at the other , but I didn't get a reply up until we arrived at the second floor of our school.
- to the sports club! did you already forget?! -
- I never agreed?!! - 
- yes you did agree! you clearly said " okay fine, I'll check out your club! " -
- I don't remember say- oh wait... I did say that. - I sighed and looked over to the direction of the doors of the supposed ' Sports Club '. Suddenly , the just said before doors had opened and I felt Alya push me inside of the room faintly giggling behind me.

- Alya, who did you just bring in here? - I could hear a gentle voice speak and I looked over just for my eyes to land down onto a very pale girl with snow white hair.
- It was the person I told you about! [name]! - Alya replied to the question that the other female asked, and she looked over to me.
- .. hey..? - I barely managed to say to the girl, she looked somewhat intimidating to me.
- hello, I'm Kami, I'm guessing you're [name] as Alya told us, correct? -
- .. yes..- wait, us? - I raised an eyebrow in confusion, were there other people here?
Suddenly i felt something, or rather someone, bump into my back as they were saying something to someone, I looked back at them when I heard yet another female speak up;

- watch where you're going! and dont stay in the middle of the doorframe! -  I stared at yet another girl, this one had a mask on and had short , black hair.
- what? did you not hear me?! are you deaf?! - she started raising her voice at me as I took a few steps back. I noticed Alya try to calm down the black haired girl as she continued yelling at me, though I already stopped listening to her when i noticed a ... tall person behind the mentioned before girl; their face hidden behind a rabbit mask staring down at the yelling girl before they put a hand down on the way shorter girl's right shoulder.
- calm down, Michelle, the whole school can hear you - They spoke up right when the yelling female turned around to face them and looked up, now completely silent.

After a few seconds long silence, the shorter girl spoke up once again,

- oh.. it's just you Sol, don't scare me like that.. idiot -

 she softly hit the taller person's shoulder, while she laughed. I just stood there, silently watching the scene unfold right in-front of me, of course , until I've felt rather cold hands touch the back of my neck which made me jump up before looking the person in the eyes, furrowing my eyebrows slightly.
- what are you doing..? you have cold hands , y'know that? - I said to Kami, while she just continued staring at me, then smiled and put her arms behind herself as she turned around and walked away to the room attached to the club room; I watched her leave as I still hear the other three argue with each other, though it seemed more like joking as I hear a lot of laughter. Who is this girl and why does she give off such a strange and mysterious aura? I asked myself, but i had no type of answer to that question, at least not yet, but I wanted a clear answer, I really wanted to figure out who this girl really is. I decided to follow her into the room, but before i even took 5 steps towards it, I hear Alya call out to me,
- hey, [name]! c'mere you dummy! - she laughed right after,and I sighed, I'll see who this mysterious girl is  some other time; I walked over to the other three girls, putting down my bag as it leaned over one of the desk's leg's.
- what is it, Alya? - I asked her, feeling a bit annoyed by how the other was so energetic and happy, no matter what but it also confused me on how she managed to keep it up.
- I want you to meet the others! The black haired girl here is Michelle, and the really tall one here is .. uh.. - Alya paused for some time, it looked as if she had forgotten the others name.
- it's Sol, you forgot again. - I looked up at them as they spoke, chuckling faintly afterwards.
- ah  right! I'm sorryyy~ - Alya smiled up at them as they both laughed, when Michelle walked in between them and pushed them away,
- if you two want to make out, do it somewhere else! you were almost touching each other! -
- Michelle! we were not gonna make out! - Alya raised her voice a tiny bit, her face red as she was embarrassed from the words of the other who now had a smirk plastered on her face.
- okay, okay you three , calm down with all the teasing before something actually happens here, like a fight or anything similar. - I joked , it felt like the three of us were getting along very well, even if we just met. It felt like I've met these people before , but I can't make out any kind of clear memories; soon afterwards I stared zoning out a little bit, thinking about my past and trying to remember if I knew these people or it was just my brain playing tricks on me.
- we all knew I would've won if a fight started! - Alya's words snapped me back into reality, but nothing really came to mind , I hadn't met these people before.
- tch, as if. especially with all those bandages on you! and look at your body, so skinny too, as if you don't have any muscle! - Michelle started making fun out of Alya again, but we all knew it wasn't what she actually felt, it was all jokes and fun.
- hey, don't say that, you could've hurt her feeelinggss~ - I got into the teasing, leaning against Alya when I spoke it was clear she was slowly getting annoyed, but laughed anyways as she pushed me away,
- okay, I get it, idiots. - the all three of us laughed after Sol closed the room door.

Though I could clearly feel someone's piercing gaze burning holes in my back, I was being stared at intensively, but by who I wonder? something didn't feel right, it felt very, very wrong.
