Not She Not He... They

School Next Day

We get home and prepare to go to school. Our sewing team is also at school and they are hoping for a chance to become models as well. Pretty much the whole school is in on it.

It's pretty much the best job they can get at their age of 14-15. They could always become waitresses but that doesn't come with the opportunity to become models and make big bucks. Well, big bucks for 14-15-year-olds. Which equates to around 30 bucks an hour. 10 for the ones making the clothes. Which is still a lot for someone their age. At least it's not minimum wage.

We work hard and keep the company afloat. Soon we might have to go outside the school to find people to sew our clothes. We're getting close to 300 orders a day now and we're starting to fall behind.

I contemplate this while Regal. A sewer that is being considered to be a model comes up. "Hey, I was hoping to hear back about that audition soon..."

"You will just give us time to think it over." They nod and go walk away. They are getting in but they will have to wait a bit to find that out.

We like to see how they handle the pressure of being in the spotlight before we put them to work.

Anyway, we get to class and as usual, the class goes by too slow as we doodle more design for clothes in our notebooks. The teacher occasionally calls on us and we give the answers to the best of our knowledge. I mean why bother with school? We already have careers not only as models but as fashion designers. Our company will probably make us self-made millionaires by the time we are twenty so there's no point.

Honestly, we're kinda bored with the world and want to expand our company to include more than just fashion. There's so much we have left to explore, makeup, packers, binders, bra inserts, trans-specific gear, gay pride gear, books, art supplies, apps, the list goes on and on. Everything we want to try.

But alas it will be six months until the pride gear and trans-specific gear secondary website were up and running.

Nal looks over at my designs "Are those shirts to make your chest look flat?"

I whisper back "Yeah... I figured we could include them in our trans man line up. It uses a combination of cut and pattern to help hide the appearance of unwanted boobs.

Nal grins "Epic. We have been working on gear for the pride store for months but this has to be one of the best out of the trans guy stuff we've seen so far... Every pride store has packers and binders and generic pride flags. This will set us apart."

After school, we head home to put our designs into the physical realm. I need to get some special fabric for my newest design so that will have to wait but I start to make the graphic Tees that I have so far. Another reason we are going to need to hire outside the school. The new website will have customers as well.

But that's what it takes to build an empire I guess. Lots of workers who get paid and you have to make sure that you still balance the books.

But you know the life of a model and business owner is kinda exciting. But I am going to have to at some point retire from being a model and focus on being a full-time entrepreneur. 

I am not looking forward to giving up modeling and will hold on as long as I can.
