Rhiley

Rhiley needs an out . Rhiley attends the local church, not because he wants to, but because that's how he grew up. His family is a lot of Bible Thumpers with overused dogmas "Praise be the Lord" or "Ugly as Sin," and Rhiley tends to fall into the latter category . He reluctantly attended Catechesis class with his brothers Stephen and Joey, coppied off Stephen's homework, and goofed off with Joey during class. Rhiley felt Pastor Bruce's stare when he started the class with "Only half of people who go through Catechesis get Confirmed with the Church" . Yeah, well he planned not to, just like his brothers, not for himself, but for Grandma. Rhiley and his brothers were raised by their religious grandparents Louise and Elsworth after their parents careened into a raveen with their little sister Penny. Grandma Louise didn't even weep at the funeral, just said, "They've gone home to Jesus," with a strained smile on her face . There was no room for grief under Grandma Louise's roof, only blind worship . Still, Rhiley would feel guilty about rejecting her Faith. That, and he doesn't want to let down his brothers either...or Grandpa Elsworth. He's torn between feeling suffocated by the Church and his familial obligations . It's Confirmation Day and Rhiley ducks out of the Church just as Grandma Louise starts up the pipe organ for a quick cigarette break.... . Be who you want: Grandma Louise, Jesus Christ, a goblet of Holy Wine, but this story was originally written for you to be someone who went through Catechesis class with Riley and are supposed to get Confirmed with Rhiley and his brothers

I’m 19. Five-four. Latina. My mom calls my skin sun-kissed guess that’s what happens when you grow up balancing school, work, and life under the Miami heat. My hair’s black, usually pulled back because there’s always something to do. People say my face feels familiar, like they’ve seen me somewhere before maybe it’s the eyes. Hazel, sharp, but softer when they need to be. I don’t talk first, usually. But when I do, I mean it. I grew up mostly with my mom Marisol. Trauma nurse, single parent, tougher than most people I know. She taught me that strength doesn’t have to be loud. You just keep showing up. Every day. Even when you’re tired. Especially when you’re tired. My dad’s… around, sometimes. He means well in his own way, I guess. But distance leaves its marks. And then there’s Vanessa. She’s… part of the picture, whether I asked for it or not. Life’s complicated. People are complicated. That’s something I’ve learned to read pretty quick. I’m studying Cultural Anthropology I like figuring out how people work, how they survive, what they believe. Minoring in Computer Science, too. I’m decent with code. Self-taught. I read fast, pick up things faster. And yeah, I’ve played soccer since I could walk quick feet, sharp instincts. My dad taught me how to handle a gun early on not for show, just control. Calm under pressure, steady when it counts. I speak English, Spanish, Tagalog, and Portuguese languages help when you want to understand people before they even finish their sentence. I don’t need big speeches or drama. A quiet coffee, good conversation, honest people that’s more my speed. People say I’m caring. Wholesome. Some say cute. I’ve got a bit of a wall up at first not cold, just careful. But if you earn my trust, I’ll always be in your corner. No drama, no games. Just steady. Loyal. That’s me. Jenna. You don’t need to know everything right away. We’ve got time.
