Chapter seven

I look down at my phone debating weather or not to text Liam.
Homework. Teasing boys. Homework. Teasing boys.
'Get your priorities strait Annette!'
I open up the screen and text Liam
"Hey it's Annette"
The little typing bubble pops up right away and I laugh quietly to myself.
"Hey Annette! To what do I owe this pleasure"
"I'm bored and overloaded with homework, just needed a break from it." I reply honestly.
"You texted the right guy. What's your address I'll be over in 30 with Netflix and an array of junk foods."
"As tempting as that sounds i A) am not giving you my address and B) actually need to study and not watch Netflix"
"You texted me" he points out
"True. Still. I'm not giving you my address"
"Aweh, late doesn't trust me. I'm hurt."
"Oh hush you big baby what do you need a kiss for your boo boo"
"Actually yes that would help very much"
"I can send over my Doberman pincher to help with that"
"Yikes I think I'll pass 😂" I chuckle
"Okay I'm narrowing in on a topic for history class. Mr. Grey gave me this big report to do on ancient Christians and said I could choose whatever I wanted to focus in on about them and do the report on that. So do you think I should do ancient Christians struggle of oppression in roman society or ancient Christian beliefs, like angels and demons all that stuff" my thumbs hurt as I set my phone down waiting for a response.
"Oh you mean me and demons" is all I get in response
"😑" I text them add "seriously though which one"
"I like the beliefs one"
"Really? it seems kinda overused"
"Yeah really I think you could add a fresh perspective to it what with your sassiness and all"
"Oh please I am not /that/ sassy"
"See! Even that text was dripping with Space"..."Space*"..."Space*"... "SASS* ugh damn auto correct!!!😡"
I roll my eyes and chuckle "goodnight Liam"
"Ttyl late"
I set my phone down and start research on the beliefs of ancient Christians, jotting down notes on classification of demons and satan and God and archangels and classification of angels, one passage catches my eye "Seraphim; these are the highest order or choir of angels..... Two cover their faces two cover their feet and two are for flying.
Cherubim"
'Wasn't that Jaspers last name?' Then j pause 'why do I care if it is?'
Still I lean in and read.
"Cherubim; Cherubim rank after the seraphim and are the second highest in the nine hierarchies or choirs of angels. The Old Testament does not reveal any evidence that the Jews considered them as intercessors or helpers of God. They were closely linked in God's glory. They are manlike in appearance and double-winged and were guardians of God's glory. They symbolized then, God's power and mobility. In the New Testament, they are alluded to as celestial attendants in the Apocalypse (Rv 4-6). Catholic tradition describes them as angels who have an intimate knowledge of God and continually praise Him"
'Hmm well he is really attractive' I chuckle 'very funny Annette quit dreaming and snap back into reality'
Afterward i move to the next site, which is on fallen angels and I am instantly sucked in;
"In some Christian doctrines, a fallen angel is an angel that has been exiled or banished from Heaven [fallen being a a metaphor for "cast out" or ostracized. Not literally meaning the angels fell! ] . Often such banishment is a punishment for disobeying or rebelling against God. One early source for information on angelology and demonology is the Persian prophet Zoroaster. The best-known fallen angel is Lucifer. Lucifer rebelled and was cast out of Heaven and fell to Earth for his offense. According to some traditions, fallen angels will roam the Earth until Judgment Day, when they will be banished to Hell.

[According to Revelation 12, the rebel host aggregated one-third of the angels in heaven. They fell for 9 days. Their number was estimated in the 15th century to have been 133,306,668 (the tabulation of Cardinal Bishop of Tusculum). ]" (-http://www.archangels-and-angels.com/misc/fallen_angesl.html )
