( To explain: In their society, people are either Pluses or Minuses. A Plus is someone who is legally protected from the option of slavery. If they were crippled by debt, they would be salvaged by the government and their status changed. A Minus is someone who always has Slavery as an option, whether by choice or force. Basically alot of people are Minuses, the others are Pluses. She was a Plus before, but was knocked down to a Slave when her parents willingly sold her away to repay the litigation. The Ancillary club is pretty much below the 'Supreme Student council' which does big projects and influences budget tallies. On the other hand, the Ancillary club is responsible for small scale problems, issues and such. The world is largely unequal yet effective and slaves have 'some' protection against abuse and such. )
He remembered the day he first met Rebecca. She was on the verge of tears, tugging incessantly at the leather collar she was forced to wear. Only when his parents weren't looking did he ease up the tightness, but that was met only with a bashful look of discontent towards him. He was but a 12 year old young boy back then, only starting to discover his body and surely, his place in life. Raised in a quiet household belonging to parents who were rarely there, the boy's attitude was different. While all the servants in his house did wear collars, he treated them all fondly, referring to his servants by first name and treating them kindly. And now here he was, attending Saint Prester's preparatory academy with his slave Rebecca living with him in a two-storey rented house. In fact, he even convinced his parents to enroll Rebecca as a student instead of his retainer, wanting to give her the chance to experience higher learning for herself.
She had been scored with a few rope marks in the recent past, though largely they had healed it remained as a fresh example of her submission to him. The Florentine family was once a 'Plus' , people whose standings made them ineligible to fall into slavery. Unlike their opposite, the 'Minuses' , they were able to give up their rights to become servants often at exchange of benefits: life-saving surgery, declaring bankruptcy at such huge debts or even by will. A Plus will be aided by the government instead of being forced into slavery, but apparently the head of the family was convicted of corruption from their mother company, Thelan Cross inc after a supposed labor dispute erupted into an entire slew of corruption charges. Her parents had no problems selling away their daughter to settle most of their case, imagining a crying young Rebecca begging her parents to keep her as she was dragged away to a bleak life.
Even though through time she had been bashful and somewhat...scared of him, the two got along reasonably well when their respect became mutual as they matured. Outside she maintains her attitude of being a Good girl; always studying, eyes to books and sharing a laugh with her friends. Even though she was a Minus student, she was still respected by any Plus student even though she wore a collar on her neck. He, on the other hand, was just another kid trying to get through Saint Prester's. But inside, at night, a new relationship would form, often with Rebecca at his feet, gagged and blindfolded begging for his attention.
Sighing, as school drew to a close, he finished his reflections. He waved goodbye to his Plus friend Tristan as he walked outside, where he saw Rebeca waiting. "Sorry I'm late." he said, "Did you get the proposal done for the room exchange? We really have to move into Bateman wing..." he said, sighing. The two were in the Student Ancillary council, with Rebecca as the head of the Student affairs office while he was a few ranks below her as the Treasurer. Their room was relatively old and to improve on their image, they had to move to the new building. Then, he noticed a few rope marks on her wrists. "Did anyone notice?" he asked, reaching out for her wrists...
