What is God? Is he real? Fake?

We can't really know, can we.

And so I, Alexis Janie Corfeild, go with the latter of our choices.

I am an athiest.

"ALEX!!!! Get yourself out of bed and go to school."

Did I mention that my parents are both oober religious and my brother aspires to become a priest? Makes it a little hard not beleiving in god...

"Coming, I'm just a little groggy mom, sorry."

Yeah right, thats a little white lie if there ever was one, I've been up since 5:30A.M blogging. My family doesn't know of my beleifs, I made my descision at age 11, and with a few relapses, I decided steadfast, that I didn't beleive in God, or at least I don't believe that he's damning us all because we said "Oh my God."

That's right, my parents don't even let me say that.

I got dressed and made my way downstairs, then plopped down unceremoniously at our kitchen table.

"Don't you want to say something to your sister Alex?" asked my mom irritatably, and I looked towards my  sickeningly adorable, annoyingly perfect, 9 year old sister, quizzitively.  "Happy birthday of course!" squeaked Leslie. (God, even her name is perfect.) "Oh yeah! Happy Birthday sissy!" I said fakely, disgusting myself  with the sugar- sweet tone of my voice. "How could you have forgotten your own little sister's big one-oh?!" scolded my mother, without any of the good-natured humor you'd expect to find in her tone. My mother hates me most of the time, I swear it. Without really awnsering but for a series of unintelligable mumbles, i grabbed my back pack and kissed my sister on the cheek. "I really have to get to school mom, I'll see you later, okay?" I darted out the door and into the driver's seat of my beloved 1957 chevy, won in a state fair raffle, before mom coud badger me anymore, and thought on my way to school that really, somewhere in my heart was a deep level of affection for Leslie, though maybe not for the rest of my family

This is my first story I've really given too much thought too on wattpad, and I'd like any feedback or tips, though nothing TOO  negative please. (If anyone even reads this that is) Thanks!
