CHILLIN’ While scrolling through her twitter feed, freshman Kasey Yean waits in the library after school until 3:20 to walk over to her mom’s work at Granite Bay Montessori. Everyday, Yean’s mom didn’t get off work until 4 so she used to hangout in the library until it was time for her to start walking. “ I liked to be in the library until I was ready to leave because I got to be with my friends just chilling or did my homework so i won’t have to do it at home. Ms. Julia Hedstrom, the librarian, is also very kind. It’s a comfortable place to be,” Yean said. Photo by Selena De La Torre

BETWEEN EVENTS While waiting for the two mile, during the home meet on April 29, junior Josiah Luna plays “Through the Fire and Flames” by Dragonforce, which surprises Junior Nathan Dell’Orto.
