title: Strange Packaging
author: Jade, Imari
description: Eighteen-year-old Micha West’s life suddenly takes a turn for the best when she wins a high school talent show. With only a few weeks left before she’s on her own, with no job and no place to stay because she’ll be too old for foster care, Micha signs a recording contract with Rahn Hyun Gi, a Korean talent manager. The only downfall? She has to pack up her life and move to Seoul, Korea. What’s an American-raised Korean to do in such a strange place?
  
  The last thing Ran-Hanuel Kim, lead singer of Revolution, and his band mates need or want in their group is another lead singer, especially one as young or inexperienced as Micha West. But their manager, Hyun-Gi, promised them a female singer to rival the one leading their biggest competitor’s group. What she brings them instead is an American dude sporting baggy pants, sunglasses, a baseball hat, and boots. When the band members find out Micha is actually a girl, hiding a very nice body underneath those baggy clothes, you would think they'd be satisfied. But Micha is a force to be reckoned with, despite her strange packaging, and things go from bad to worse.
