Mira yawns

Ria is scrolling through instagram

Ria: Wanna start the updates?

Mira: Uh, heck yeah!

Ria: K

Mira: Wait, we have to wake 'you know who' up first

Ria: Voldemort? {*confusion*}

Ria: Mira, my bestie, you know harry potter isn't actually real.

Mira: Really? That's news to me.

Ria: Ohmygod, I should have chosen a co-author with some common sense

Mira: Idiot, it's called sarcasm.

Mira: Besides I can't call person-who-does-not-want-to-be-named by their name, can I?

{ I've been here for the past seven minutes, how are they this stupid? }

Ria: I am not stupid!

Mira: I beg to disagree

{ CAN WE START? ITS THE CRACK ASS OF DAWN }

Ria begins her process of the summoning the players

Mira lights a fire and Ria starts throwing pieces of paper into it

Virat: We're still in this old group chat...

Ria: can you shut up? I'm trying to be-

Mira: -A drama queen

Ria: really?

Mira: Truth Hurts.

Ria: So does a punch

Mira: sheesh, violet much?

Rohit: Their worse than us, Virat.

Ria: We also love each other more than you two.

Mira: agreed, bestie.

Shubman: The mood changed within seconds-

Mira: It's called bipolar, 

Shubman: Did you just call yourself bipolar?

Mira: Did I say I was bipolar?

Shubman: Well, no-

Mira: Then you have answered your own question.

Ashwin: This is amusing

{ Hardik Is Typing }

DK: It means it's entertaining, Hardik.

{ Hardik has stopped typing }

Ria: Wait! The best part of all of this was the names

Mira: How is someone's name entertaining? 

(Mira imagining Ria saying 'Virat' then bursting out laughing. Ria smacking her and whispering, 'I'm not pschyo'.)

Ria: I meant like contact nicknames, like you have Dominic's contact name as Dominoes' {HORRIBLE} Pizza

Mira: Kool, kool.

Ria: *cool

Mira: I can spell whatever word I want the way I want, so hush.

Ria: Salty

Virat: No Nicknames, it took us forever to figure who's who. 

Ria: so dearest readers, DM me a nickname you want for a specific cricket player, or if you want to keep a few nicknames that were created in the last book! But for now, let's continue with this.

Ria:  Shut up-

Rohit: Why are u guys textin at the middle of the night?

Shubman: oh i was watching a movie and i saw the phone buzz

Rohit: that checks out

Hardik: I swear on myself, it ain't me.

Virat: Swear it on Agastya, Nat would murder you if your lying.

Hardik: I will.

MSD: Go to bed everyone, it's late.

Virat: THATS WHAT I SAID!

Jinks: But MS's word means a lot more-

Mira: For a second I thought MS was Microsoft Teams
