Maisy both loved and hated her friend group. Yes she had known them forever, the four of them were basically raised together since before they were even born. Their mom’s had been sorority sister’s in the university she was now attending, they had met their husbands and had moved within the same neighborhood, then all of them had gotten pregnant around the same time. That meant she was pretty much stuck with Lindsay, Elizabeth and Zoey and while they had always been close she was clearly the odd one out.
Lindsay was co-captain of the cheer squad in high school with Zoey, while also being captain of the swim and dive team. She was driven and very athletic but was way too bubbly happy for Maisy’s liking even if she was her best friend of all of them.
Elizabeth had been a state champion cross tennis player as well as being on the swim team and was the slightly more stuck up of their friends given her parents both of whom are lawyers had the most money. So she had the best cloths and the like but the least actual love from her busy/cold parents.
Zoey was co-captain of the cheer squad and class president, 3rd best grades in the class, volunteered at five or six places as well as sung in the choir of her church. She was the poster girl type but Maisy could tell she was always at the edge of cracking under the pressure of having to be “perfect” even though no one was forcing it on her.
They where all post girls of their type and so was Maisy, but not the type that made her parents all that happy.
Maisy had taken on the more goth look, darker cloths, she died her hair multiple different colors, and it was rare to get her to smile. She had been caught smoking when she was 15 and had gotten in trouble. She was 22 now and still kept a pack on her even if it took her a month to go through it. She had the leather jacket and corset and like. She read about witchcraft, ancient spells and all the like. She was picture opposite of her friends but they were still friends.
While she had come in 1st in her class, much to the pain of Zoey, she was the book worm always reading and while her parents/school forced her into a sport, swimming she never really cared much for it. Her parents who while never punishing her…aside from she got caught smoking had always consider this a phase. So far the phase has lasted almost a decade.
The four of them were sitting in the university’s library studying when the famous text came over.
“Wow…I got which creature you want to be?” said Zoey.
“Same here.” Added Lindsay, looking at her phone.
“Same.” confirmed Elizabeth
Maisy simply nodded.
“We should all pick the same thing.” Offered Zoey
“Sure.” Confirmed Maisy “but who gets to pick.”
“Well either we all agree to it…” started Elizabeth
“Good luck.” Said Lindsay
“Or…we have one of us decide and go from there.” Finished Elizabeth
“Let’s go with that.” Said Maisy as she pulled out a dice from her bag, she had D&D in about two hours, something else her friends didn’t do. “Highest roll wins?”
“Fine by me.” Confirmed Zoey as all of them rolled to decide who would pick a magical creature unaware that in a short amount of time that they would become that creature.
