ODD? Is that "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" or a typo for O.C.D? I'm still early in the game, so I'm guessing you meant O.D.D. (especially since Chapter I is titled Defiance), but just wanted to check since that isn't nearly as well known (in my experience.)

there was a 7th grade English teacher in my middle school who had a beautiful antique Bentley. He also always wore bowling shoes for some reason.

Other than that, all my teachers and most of my college professors drove used P.O.S. cars that cost less than a Rolls Royce hood ornament does on eBay.)
