When we entered the kitchen, everyone else had already assembled at the dining table, with Alexis sitting on the kitchen countertop at the head of the room. "Yay, we're all here!" Alexis announced, gesturing for us to sit. "I've been given some exciting news that I didn't want to jinx until it was finalised and such," she began standing on her own, "Recently, the school entered some of my artworks in an international art exhibition, where I won second place and got the attention of some big wigs in the art world." The more she spoke, the wider her smile became and the more physically giddy she got as she pulled on her fingers and rocked on her heels. "I got a sponsorship offer from a retired artist, Morgan Quinmo, who is organising an art exhibition of a variety of works, and wants my works as one of the main collections."
