Ethan's POV
The drive to campus was surreal. I was used to dodging puddles and huffing up hills, not gliding through traffic like an automotive god. I half expected to wake up and return to my old apartment, late for class and out of clean socks.
But nope, this was real. I was driving this gorgeous machine to college, like some kind of... well, rich kid.

And boy, did it happen.
The moment I turned into the lot, it was like someone had hit the slow-motion button on reality. Heads swiveled in my direction, conversations died mid-sentence, and I swear I even saw a guy walk into a lamppost because he was too busy gawki
