Sevyns Life A Story About The First Billionaire Black Trans Woman

Sevyns Life Scene 1

Boom 💥💥!! The sound of the book slamming echoed loudly, bringing an abrupt hush over the entire class. The teacher forcefully slammed the book down onto Sevyn's desk, the impact nearly breaking the desk itself. Clearly fed up with having Sevyn in class, the teacher lamented Sevyn's lack of attention, perpetual daydreaming, and consistent neglect of assignments. In high school merely to appease her parents, Sevyn harbored a personal desire to earn her GED and swiftly move on to college, the place she truly yearned to be. Currently navigating her sophomore year, Sevyn found herself at odds with Miss Quincy's authoritative demand.

Miss Quincy's frustrated voice cut through the classroom, "Sevyn, please stop daydreaming or leave my classroom. I'm not putting up with it today. Do some homework." The high school Sevyn attended was situated in an "urban" (ghetto*) setting, marked by metal detectors at the entrance and a pervasive use of plexiglass. The lack of encouragement from teachers in this environment, treating students as mere paychecks rather than the future adult citizens of Chicago, added an extra layer of challenge.

And now, a bit more about Sevyn—she was a hired hand, willing to do anything for money. This role allowed her financial independence, crucial in light of her two absent parents both grappling with substance abuse. With enough backstory on Sevyn, we find Miss Quincy intervening once again to wake her from another daydream.

"Sevyn, go to in-school suspension. I told you if you keep daydreaming in my class and not doing work, I'm going to kick you out of class," Miss Quincy asserted in an authoritative tone. Under her breath and in her mind, Sevyn muttered, "Fuck you, bitch." In in-school suspension, she unexpectedly encountered a nice guy.

But, a reminder: Sevyn hadn't fully become herself yet; she was still navigating this phase at a tender age. After enduring in-school suspension, Sevyn returned home to find her parents absent, lost in their own world. In this grimy city called Chicago, where her parents were hooked on drugs and barely managed to care for their kids, Sevyn's daily prayer was to be taken away to a place far removed, filled with love. Despite her parents' love, their pervasive absence created an unhealthy environment for a young trans woman in her prime.

Post-school hours, Sevyn trudged through the rough neighborhoods of Chicago, exhaustion clinging to her. Despite the challenges, she remained determined to hustle for a better life. Contemplating her future plans, including college, she acknowledged the financial difficulties posed by her parents' lack of support. Undeterred, Sevyn resolved to find a way, steadfast in her determination to succeed.
