*****************
In Utopia, the social ranking system effectively put women at the mercy of the upper social classes. Although there was no official gender discrimination, the system in practice heavily favored wealthy men while disadvantaging young women. Everyone wore wrist bracelets in distinct colors to signify their social standing.
Diamond: Highest class
Gold: Upper class
Silver: Middle class
Bronze: Lower class
When the new social structure was introduced in 2022, it established a rigid class system that categorized individuals based on their family's wealth. Each person was assigned to a specific social class, which dictated their rights and responsibilities within the society of Utopia. Despite the official narrative suggesting that individuals could move up or down the social ladder over time, the overwhelming sentiment among the population is skepticism, with many believing such mobility is unlikely to occur in practice.
Utopia is home to a massive population of 100 million people, but its wealth distribution and thus the distribution of social classes is starkly unequal. There were just over 100,000 Diamonds, who held the highest status and influence. There are approximately 10 million Golds, previously considered the upper class, followed by around 50 million Silvers, previously considered middle class, and just under 40 million Bronzes, the lowest tier in the social hierarchy.
Joanna, a member of a Bronze family, grew up in a household that had never experienced wealth. All her family members wore Bronze bracelets. As a Bronze, Joanna was bound by a specific set of rules that dictated her behavior and limited her sexual freedoms:
Joanna's family had never been rich. Her family all had Bronze bracelets. As a Bronze, there were distinct rules which she had to follow:
1. Follow any order by a Diamond
2. Always be sexually available to any Diamond
3. Always be available for inspection by any Gold and above
4. Never orgasm without approval from a Gold or above
5. Never touch yourself without approval from a Silver or above
6. Any sexual relations between Bronzes must be in the presence of a Silver or above
These regulations were designed to uphold the hierarchy and ensure that each class fulfilled its designated role within society. The overarching goal was to maintain stability in a system where the privileges of the few heavily outweighed the freedoms of the many. Joanna was skeptical of the system at best but recognized that the system was ultimately for the greater good.
In theory, the rules governing behavior applied equally to men, yet in reality, they were seldom enforced with any consistency. Joanna felt a sense of fortune--she had managed to navigate her life since turning 19, without encountering many upper-class individuals looking to exploit her vulnerability. Now, she stood on the brink of a new chapter: college.
She had been awarded a scholarship to Wright's College, an institution renowned for its academic excellence and prestigious reputation. However, there was an undeniable undercurrent of unease in her excitement; most faculty members were from the Gold class, with a handful of them belonging to the even more privileged Diamond class. The halls of the college would likely be filled with students who, like Joanna, were gifted and ambitious, but a few would be Diamonds too, their status endowed by wealthy parents. As she prepared to step into this new environment, Joanna couldn't shake the feeling that the social dynamics would be complicated, and she would need to tread carefully among the elite.
Joanna stepped into the room, her heart racing with anticipation and a hint of nervousness about starting this new chapter of her life. The space was modest but welcoming, with sunlight streaming through a partially open window, casting a warm glow on the walls. She noticed her roommate was already busy unpacking.
"Hi! I'm Diana," her roommate called out, looking up with a bright smile that lit up her face. Diana was tall and slender, her vibrant red curls bouncing lightly as she turned to greet Joanna. Her striking green eyes sparkled with curiosity, narrowing slightly as they landed on Joanna's bronze bracelet that adorned her wrist.
"Hm, a Bronze? You're lucky to share a space with me," she continued, her tone playful but assertive. Joanna could sense a hint of pride in her voice that hinted at the dynamics they would navigate together. "By the way, I've already claimed the bed by the window. I hope you don't mind!"
Joanna quickly glanced at the bed by the window, decorated with soft, pastel linens that matched Diana's outgoing personality. Diana's bracelet glinted under the light--gold, a clear indicator of her background from a wealthy family.
"So, are you on a scholarship?" Diana asked casually, her eyes assessing Joanna's reaction. "We don't have many Bronzes here, you know. Some of the higher-ups can be pretty demanding."
Joanna felt a slight chill at the mention of the upper class, already dreading the pressures that might come with it. However, Diana's next words eased her anxiety slightly. "But don't worry! I'll make sure you're fully prepared to handle them." A mischievous smirk crossed Diana's lips as she continued. "Now, go ahead and unpack. Once you're settled, I'll give you a tour of the place. You'll love it!"
There was a blend of warmth and confidence in Diana's demeanor that made Joanna feel a little less alone, igniting a flicker of excitement about the adventure that lay ahead.
