Adrian is your typical rebel teenager, her parents are huge Christians and have been shoving it down her throat even since she was little. Once she turns 14 she decides she's had enough and starts to rebel, which makes her parents pull her out of sc...

It's about 8 am when my mom wakes me up "Adrian hon its time to wake up" I don't move "Adrian" she says again more sternly, still nothing, she sighs and rips the covers off my bed "I said get up. We are NOT going to be late to church" I just mumble "I want you to be dresses and ready by 9 o'clock do I make myself clear?" without waiting for an answer she walks out. I slowly get up and drag myself to the bathroom to shower, once I'm dressed

I look at myself in the mirror and start to let my mind wander 'dose god really hate me for what I've done? is he even really their? watching me, listing to me?' I shake my head "don't be stupid Adrian of course hes not" I laugh at myself and grab my phone, I'm about to walk out the door when my Australian shepherd border collie mix Atlas barks at me. I smile and kiss his head "love you boy, be good" he barks again and lays his head back down on my bed 'wish I could do the same, just stay in bed and not have a worry in the world' "lucky mutt" I say sighing, I smile when his tail starts to wag, turning my attention back to the door, I take a deep breath and open it and make my way down the stairs.
I can here my parents talking as I make my way to the kitchen but as soon as I walk in they stop and go quiet "good morning hon, how did you sleep?" mom asks as I sit down at the table "fine" I say sharply not caring if I sound rude "do you have any planes today?" she asks setting a plate of eggs, bacon and sausage down in front of me, I start to shovel it in my mouth as fast as I can so I can get away from her 'caring mother act' "yea, going to Georgia's house to work on our history project" "well that sounds nice" she says giving a fake smile "whatever" I say getting up and going out to the car, soon after they both come out and we are on our way to the church.
Once we get their we can see Jesse Custer the new preacher 'greeting' people as they file in one after another 'great another how ever many hours listening to him try to preach' now don't get me wrong I like Jessie hes cool and all but he is not preacher material. We make our way to the door "Mr. Wells" he says shaking my dads hand "Miss. Wells" "Preacher" dad says shaking his hand back "hello preacher" mom says nodding at him Jesse looks at me "hello Adrian" he says smiling at me "sup Jesse" I say, my parents glare at me,"hello preacher" I say with a big sigh he laughs "its good to see all of you again" mom and dad nod and walk inside, as I walk past Jesse I give him a 'I wish I was dead' look. We sit down in front, mom and dad sit near the middle of the bench and I sit near the other end. I get my phone out as soon as he starts to talk, and text Georgia A-'I hate this' G-'I know hon, I'm sorry you have to do this every Sunday' A-'are we still hanging out today? we need to finish our project'
just as I'm about to read her text I notice Jesse is having trouble, he starts to look though his papers, must of lost a page "whoever is messing with the sigh outside... can ya stop" he doesn't even get to finish his sentence and the organ starts to play and everyone starts to go outside. I'm sitting in the shade of a tree away from the other people here, as they all talk, eat and have fun. I look over across the 'party' and see Jesse talking to someone'the guy is always complaining about his mother' Donnie's son walks over to his and talks to him, after a while he walks away, I get up and make my way over their "sup 'preacher'" I say smiling "hey Adrian" he looks at me as I sit my chair next to him "hows school going?" "oh you know, the same, everyone hating me and Georgia just because we don't hate Eugene, and my older sister is off having a life while I'm stuck in this small poor excuse for a town"I pause "no offence" "you girls are nice to him, I know he appreciates it" he sighs "and I'm sorry about your parents, If I can help-" "what are you going to be pray for me?" I cut him off "no offence Jesse but I am DONE waiting for god to help me, I've been asking for years and he hasn't done shit!" I yell looking at the ground "I'm done with waiting for someone to help me" I pause and run a hand though my hair "no, no one is going to help me. I have to help myself" my parents call me over, I stand up "see your around Jesse" I say walking away.
