This is an excerpt of a story in issue six of the Lance, which comes out tomorrow morning. Make sure to pick up a copy of the Lance to read in-depth coverage on social media, a spring sports preview and a review of Omaha donut shops. 

At Westside, seniors Jack Gilinsky and Jack Johnson are two pretty normal kids, but to their 2.2 million followers on Vine, they’re something else entirely.

They’re Internet celebrities, teen heartthrobs who get over 100,000 likes on each six-second video they post and have fanfiction written about them. They’ve attended conventions full of screaming teenage girls alongside other immensely popular Vine and Instagram users, and they recently released a song that hit #7 on the iTunes hip-hop chart.

As much as they have going for them outside of school, though, Westside High School is still one of the places they feel most at home.
