Alicia's eyes widened and she squealed softly. "You... and... Hogwarts... coming. That's wonderful Alex!" she exclaimed finally, fighting the urge to stand up and bounce a bit- or alot. Instead, a large smile spread across her face.
It was then, that she decided to take a bite of her macaroni. The fork was inches from her mouth when Emma said that Anna would be staying at Hogwarts. Just like that, the fork landed on the plate with a small ping. Looking to Savannah, her smile widened, if that was even possible. "Eeep! Vanna you get to staaaay!" It was much harder not to bounce now, with all the good news and such. Stay still now, bounce later, she reminded herself.
She giggled at Alex when he started to talk about the prank Savannah had pulled on him an Wyatt. "Awwww! You two must've been adorable," she teased. Picturing the scene in her head made her laugh a bit more. She was so... giddy just then.
Seeing Katie get up tearfully, Massie bit her lip. She wasn't sure if Kaitlynnh wanted comfort of any kind just then, but stood up anyways. "Excuse me," the nine year old said quietly, before leaving the room and looking for the younger girl. Seeing her sitting on the stairs, Massie too went over there, sitting on the step just below Katie. "You okay?" she asked softly, not sure if she expected an answer other than a head shake. |
