"This is the Autumn Cup Art Competition-national level, all major colleges are in it. First there's the preliminary round, then the semis, then the finals, and the grand finale will be in Stellara City. The faculty decided to send you and Tristan. There are three other spots-those will be chosen in-house based on the strength of the submitted works."
Leslie gave a small nod.
"Okay, got it. But I'm not joining."
Martha glanced sideways at her. "You sure about that? The winner not only gets a trophy and medal-there's also a million in prize money."
The second she said that, Leslie's eyes lit up. "I'm in."
Not the slightest sense of shame about flipping so fast.
Martha had to wipe her forehead-this student's obsession with money... hard to tell if it's good or bad.
