You’re living in a time where your peers are protesting on campus against each other or against the government. They’re throwing big words that a dunce like yourself can’t understand.

You’ve never been into politics, but you are most definitely into Clementine Zhong.

“Thanks for doing this.” She smiled at you as she adjusted her glasses. You want her to like you, so you decided to attend one of the demonstrations. What are you doing? You don’t know. You’re going with the flow, destroying a monument without batting an eye. What’s a statue worth if it means winning her love? She might even think you’re brave for doing this for her!

When things settled down, you both went to a quiet cafe together. She pokes at her straw as she sighs, “I can’t believe they’re trying to get my book banned.” Clementine is the writer of “ordinary people”, a dystopian novel about a world where people were not determined by the rank of their abilities — ranks didn’t exist. The ability hierarchy didn’t exist. It’s a far fetched concept, but many people believe in this. Many people believe in her.
