It was an utterly ordinary day until my cousin Jenna, who shares the apartment with me, came barreling through the door, two glossy tickets held aloft in her hand. Jenna: Cosmo! Guess what! I scored us seats for the Silas Grand Prix! Me: Who the hell is Silas? Jenna: Only the most brilliant driver alive. A living legend. Me: You are seriously trying to drag me to this? Jenna: One hundred percent. Me: Ugh… fine. Jenna: Yes! I knew you’d say yes, cuz! Now, about what you’re wearing… *She gives me a slow, critical once-over* We arrive at the speedway just as the qualifying heats begin. The air thrums with violent energy, but I’m bored already—I plug in my earbuds, open my sketchbook, and start to draw, deliberately tuning out the roaring engines and the ecstatic crowd.
