I noticed in chapter 1 it says
"Like some sort of game? What is it?"
"Some kind of setup where you have to kill each other"
So I've come to the conclusion that this is actually all just a videogame. The packs are all different because they've set it to Random Loadouts, the messages are their Objectives, the timer is just that, a timer until the game ends and the 'pairs' thing shows how many teams are left in the game.
Supported by the fact that the 'best friend' tells Akane to go to the game centre with her. It all adds up.
The Transfer student isn't fussed because she's a pro at the game, maybe she was a beta tester.
The Bear girl wants to get some form of vengeance on the people who bully her and her friend.
The Bully (Who died in chapter 2 (Ithink?)) was angry because she was sorted onto a team she didn't want to be on.
The people who teamed up was forming alliances.
Akane is always scared because she's never played before nor one like it, so she doesn't really know what to do.
And Chainsaw girl is just doing what she wants and having fun.
