My therapist recently told me to start writing down what I see. He hasn't told me why yet so I'm giving this a try. Writing letters to my peers with an anonymous personality so I'll be doing my best to keep my identity a secret because what's more fun than trying to find out if I'm one of the pretty popular kids or the loser who eats alone, Some of you are gonna guess who I am based off that last sentence which I don't recommend trying, But today I've decided to focus on a group of 5 people who caught my eye recently; Ashley Daye, Dante Pérez, Adrien Lucifer, Miranda Thompson, and Rowan Hudson. Why has this group of Juniors caught my eye? Thank you for asking, Well you see I've actually been watching them since freshman year for no other reason than I thought a group of 5 pretty people would most certainly be interesting and boy was I right. Secret love triangles, dramatic fights, "awesome" adventures, and surprisingly a lot of secrets. How are past years relevant to what I've seen recently? Don't be silly how else would you explain the secret Mr. Pérez and Mrs. Thompson are housing without any background information. Enough of that for now though I haven't decided if I'm gonna post this online somewhere or somehow elaborately print out enough copies for every staff and student at East Highland to read yet. Oh, don't worry I can't get in trouble for posting or spreading this information around because guess what I'm involved in these stories, So I'm just telling you my side of the story. What's so wrong with that?

What are we without flesh and blood? Are we nothing but a beating heart in a ribcage, a marching soul inevitably leading to our demise? Or are we here as a test of loyalty to our God, a God we do not know but must trust? And without this trust, we will be punished indefinitely for questioning his divinity. And what is a sheep without his shepherd? Without God, are we nothing but sheep led astray? How will we be guided to the light without a shepherd on earth? Should we trust our shepherd to tell us the truth? Or will we be covered in the blood of the lamb? A shepherd with blood on his hands could infect his flock with poison. And with this poison, he has control. And to Luke, this poison is all he knows. His seventeen years of life have been devoted to nothing else but God. He wakes up, goes to school or church, and sleeps; rinse and repeat. There is no place or time for anything else in his life, such as television, going out with friends, or discovering new hobbies. His father, Pastor Ivy, ensures this. His life purpose will be to serve the Lord and nothing else. A purpose that Luke believes is the right way. What else would there be to life? He hadn't questioned this until he met Gabriel, a man who was the complete opposite of him. A man who was strong in his sense of self. A man who didn't bow to anyone or anything and stood firm in his beliefs in The Church of Satan. A man who Luke feared. But also a man who felt like home to him.
