Heir vs Soldier

I drove a domestic car to attend a high school reunion. By the time I arrived at the hotel, most of my classmates were already there.

They were all doing quite well, driving either Mercedes or BMWs and there was even a black Rolls-Royce.

As soon as I got out of the car, a female classmate whose name I couldn’t remember looked at me with a face full of disdain.

"Oh, isn’t this our class's study committee member? How did you end up like this after graduation, still driving a domestic car?"
