His father was a righteous and learned man, yet the Lord moved him to put aside his pride and listen to the council of his most blessed son, for the voice of a child would reveal to them the path to paradise. The boy was christened Christian, in likeness with his creator, and much favor did he curry as he grew to lead his flock.

I was terrified. But beneath the terror was a sick, crawling anticipation. My body still ached from last night. There was a soreness between my thighs that I couldn't ignore. And as much as I hated myself for it, I wanted him to touch me again. I wanted to feel that heat, that overwhelming power, that moment where I ceased to be a broken street rat and became something—even if that something was just a hole for a monster to fill.

Is he gone again? I sighed. I get up to get ready for school and the first thing I do is to keep my bed in good condition. Last night, I remember as I fell asleep, he stayed. Guess I need to make myself always ready to accept that God always disappears and comes back whenever he likes to. But what if he is not coming back? I feel an ache in my chest, as if I was suffocated by its bitterness. Come now. Wake up. I said to myself, patting my cheeks. You are both in a different world. And you are just a puny human.

I understand that you want to set their emotion of longing for a change before you present the change, but this voids your chapter one, and gives your story a slow pace. I'm not saying that it would never ever work in a million years, but why use the readers' patience when you can lure them in with more effective content? Let's end with an example: We have a contest on, so let's use one of the themes. Here is the contest if you don't know about it yet (https://www.goodnovel.com/contests/remorse-revenge-redemption) and participate!
