Fellow Scholars and Scribes! I bid you welcome to the second annual SCRIBE SPOTLIGHT! ๐ riots ensue ๐

"Listen, Alex was it? I know you're up to something. I mean, you come around just when everything starts going downhill, and just so happen to be best friends with Jordan even though she's never mentioned you?" I shrugged. "I think you're going too in-depth about this."
It has been an absolute honor to see
