Online News Editor
Alisa is an (almost) junior in the magnet, which is not a good thing, since it means she will be looking like a zombie for the next few years. While not obsessing over school, she can be found on fictionpress.com reading sappy stories and then laughing at the sappiness of the stories, or gorging out on chocolate and ice cream.
