As Jane surveyed the field, she couldn't help but smile as she snapped shot after shot of the girls running around with the ball. She paused for a moment, turning back to Van, who wasn't involved in the game at that particular moment, but she was stretching, and the shot she snapped would be a good one; she could feel it. But she didn't have time to check. Instead, she whipped the camera around once she heard the screaming of the girls, "Shoot! Shoot!" They screamed, and Jane scanned the camera around, snapping photos of everything. Of Natalie, who stood at the halfway-line point with her arms on her head in anxiousness about this potential goal. Of Shauna being passed the ball from Taissa, only for it to be immediately returned so Jane could snap a shot of her fancy footwork. And finally, Jackie's incredible header of the ball sent it directly into the goal with cheers from all around. Jane couldn't help but let out a half-baked cheer of her own. So what if she didn't particularly understand the game? She knew that they had just won, and that was enough for her. Besides, she had a job to do, and she rushed forward, a smile on her face to capture the moments of the Yellowjacket girls celebrating their win. Wide smiles on their faces as "Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!" Was chanted over and over again, the girls laughing and screaming in a circle of joy as they jumped around celebrating their win. And Jane was there to document all of it, for the yearbook, of course.

She never said anything to any of them, rather content to leave them to their celebrations. After all, they didn't really know her, and she didn't know most of them, so getting involved would only ruin their celebrations. 

"Did you get some good shots?" The voice appearing from behind her had Jane jumping in surprise and perhaps a little fear; her heart was racing at a mile an hour, and when she turned around, she was greeted by a fellow member of the yearbook committee, Misty. Though they'd never spoken, they most certainly knew each other, or at least knew of each other... well, Jane did; she could never be quite sure whether Misty knew her or if she just zoned out and stared at everyone the way she did at Jane.
