FAITH: Lily & GOD

Chapter 4

It's been almost two weeks since Lily went to see Joshua. School work has taken a whole lot of her time and walking home wasn't an option for her because she was already getting so stressed out.

"How many more days till we're done with the test?" Lily asked when she looked up from the English book she was revising.

Sarah looked at her. "Tomorrow girl" she placed her hand on Lily's hand "just hold a little while"

Lily laughed "Glad I have you in my life"

"GOD loves you baby" she winked.

Lily stretched a bit and looked around the library, everyone was in their business, she looked back at Sarah and leaned closer a bit.

"Can I ask something?" She asked, and she nodded "This is kind of random but how's your faith in GOD?"

Sarah frowned a bit then looked at Lily, she dropped her pen on the table.

"Good, it's good" she shrugged. "Anything?"

"Huh, nothing... I just wanted to be sure we're on the same page"

Sarah smiled. "Remember, if you have doubts"

"I'll pray" Lily completed.

"Good, now let's continue studying. Exams aren't going to write themselves" she encouraged.

Lily would have simply asked her further questions to know if she was wrong for feeling this way. She just needed some validity and the right person to talk to about it came to mind.

"Mr. Larry would have simply said, I want you all to fail so don't bother reading" Sarah complained "Like, why does he have to act the way he does?" She sounded frustrated.

"Sarah, we can't change people. That's how he wants to be to people"

"A total nightmare?" She shrieked, eyes wide open like they bare terror "he should limit that to himself, I don't want to have to deal with this for the rest of the school year" she grumbled "GOD, please take him somewhere far away, please"

"Come on, that's selfish" Lily tries to reason.

"Well, tell him that. I might as well pull out my hair" she grunted again.

Lily shook her head. She knew Sarah could be dramatic a little bit, but she was right to feel this way. Their science teacher, Mr. Larry loves the terror on all the student's faces when he gives them some tasks.

"It will be good okay, just don't let this spoil our day, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah" They walked towards the park on the way to Lily's house. They would have followed Cory who came with Daisy's car but Lily wanted to walk instead.

Sarah wanted to vent so she followed her.

Lily had forgotten that the park was her and Joshua's meeting place. Many things had happened over the course of the week and she forgot many things.

As they walked by the bench she and Joshua sat to talk, she heard her name being called by a familiar voice.

Alarmed, she turned to see Joshua waving at her and smiling as he waited for her to come. Sarah who was confused by what she was seeing asked.

"Joshua knows your name?" Sarah asked, a confused look on her face.

"Lily come, I have something to show you" he shouted but she was stuck on what she should do.

If she answers him then Sarah will know she's talking to the homeless man her mum doesn't want her talking to and it could get her into trouble if her mum finds out.
