Free Speech
It's just a stupid town election, but Tara’s dad really wants a friend of his to win, so he takes her out of school, despite her English test.
Tara can feel him listening from outside the voting booth and it makes her both suffocated and angry. Her hand presses the button for another, random candidate.
When she comes out, she tries to act normally and it seems to fool him.
"Sometimes even the wicked can be redeemed if they do good," he says.
She nods and looks away, hoping she is accepted to UCS. She can’t live forever with just quiet rebellions.
