A Young girl sat in a church pew in the early hours of the evening. She listened to the Preacher yell and tell everyone about Jesus. She sighed and rolled her eyes as she noticed texts appearing on her phone's screen from her youngest brother, Noah. **He should have never gotten a phone** She thought. She tried to ignore the yelling from the front of the room as she read several of the messages she received. She hated the Step-in Preacher. He yelled too much and was way too jumpy and often scared the church members. The girl knew it was because of nerves, that he yelled like that. The girl talked to the so-called "God" in her free time and figured that if he created and loved anyone, "God" would be a sweet and understanding person. There shouldn't be yelling. The soft preaching of her normal Preacher was more suited to her likes. She sighed and looked at her phone to notice more texts from her brother.
{Noah; Stop texting in church, Ash!!}
The girl, Ash, sighed again and disregarded her messages. Noah was her youngest brother. Ash is 15, their middle brother, Goliath, is 13, and Noah is 11. Goliath and Ash are closer then Ash and Noah are simply because of their favorite video-games and music.
All of a sudden, Ash's phone started flashing with an incoming call. Ash got up quietly and walked to the restroom while answering the incoming call. Once she was alone, she finally answered.
{IN CALL;

END CALL}
Kayla has been Ash's best-friend for 6 years. She is currently 16, but will be 17 in October. Kayla has 3 younger sisters and one older brother.
Ash slowly returned to her seat on the pew. She smiles as she thinks of how her life changed six years ago when she met Kayla. She fell in love with Kayla's brother, had to move, and found a lifelong best-friend that does enough talking for the both of them. Ash was very thankful for that friendship. The preacher asked everyone to stand, and Ash bowed her head....
