In the autumn of 2020, many seniors in Oakland Technical High School became a night.
They have already limited their homes for half a year and desperately longed for fun, staying all night. They made ticts, watched porn, played fortnite. In the monotony of the pandemic lock: “Time didn’t matter, I suppose,” said Stamper-Kkun, so they found ways to associate, even if they were alone. Nadav built a custom server played by Minecraft with friends and looked at the simulation of life that he could not participate in. Watch YouTuber David Dobrik Travel and Party with his funny crew and all nine seasons “The Office”.
Ruby Chan-Frey, constantly, who did not study on the SAT and then marinated in her stress, often watched films with friends in Discord until the sunrise. In the end, she took a run and went at 23 pm when she returned at 1 in the morning, sometimes she met her father in the kitchen. “I would like to,” oh. Hey, ”she told me.
Oakland Tech left “only” in March and stupid choke. The school day, only three hours, began at 9.

She made a table by pulling the folding table to the edge of her twin. But thanksgiving, the table was so covered with debris-suffering and binders, rock garden, its collection of stickers, plush, masks, memanabilia K-POP fans, and grocery-to-that Veronica had to run to bed. She started attending a class with a muted microphone and sound, her camera showed up, so only her forehead showed on the screen. Veronica felt imprisoned.
