The Haunted Sea (Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken x Female Ghost reader)

Chapter 4

Later, it was morning and the alarm clock rings as Ruby wakes up, and she heavily sighs.

Ruby: "Okay, Ruby, you got this."

She said as she turns off her clock.

Ruby: "You just need to make it to school... and have a completely, totally ordinary day."

She said while she gets her stuff from school, and her sweatshirt and headphones and she starts head to school. But then Nessie whines which got Ruby's attention.

Ruby: "Huh?"

Ruby looks to see Nessie panting, telling her about her breathe, and Ruby exhales her breath to smell saltwater, so she uses breath spray to cover the smell.

Meanwhile, Agatha still depressed as she's still on her laptop check some photos of her and Ruby.

Arthur: "Honey, you've gotta stop beating yourself up."

Agatha: "Oh, Arthur. I can't believe I didn't tell her any of this sooner. I mean, what was I thinking?"

Arthur: "You were thinking about protecting her, like you always have."

Agatha: "What if she drops out of school? I mean, what if she doesn't get a job and runs away like I did? (Gasps) What if she hates me like I hate my mom? It's a slippery slope, Arthur."

Arthur: "Hate's a strong word. And she loves you. She'll never run away."

Then they hear a door creaking, and they look to see Ruby sneaking out as she sees her parents see her.

Arthur: "Huh. This doesn't help my case."

Agatha: "Ruby, hey. How are you feeling? Did you sleep okay? Everything back to normal?"

Ruby: "Yeah. Mm-hmm. Totally fine."

Agatha: "Are you sure? Oh, you look a little flushed."

Ruby: "Mom, I'm fine. Really."

Then Agatha smells something of as she sniffs the smell, and Ruby smiles nervously.

Agatha: "Ruby, is that salt water on your breath?"

Ruby: "Salt water? What? No. I really gotta go."

Agatha: "Good. Okay. Well, if you do want to talk, I'll be right here. I just... (sighs) I just really want you to know that you never have to hide things from me."

She said as Ruby frowns with out her mom noticing.

Ruby: "Hmm, like you?"

Agatha: "What did you say, honey?"

Ruby: "Nothing. Bye, Mom."

Agatha: "Love you. Make good choices."

She said as Ruby closes the door and leaves, and Agatha sighs. Then Ruby heavily sighs as she puts on her headphones, and listening to music as she heads to school. Then Ruby at school as she looks to some law enforcement as she puts up her hood up and looks to see the librarian is interviewing.

Librarian: "It destroyed the YA Zombie Romance section. The YA Zombie Romance section!

Girl 1: "Mom, I changed my mind. I want to be homeschooled again."

Girl 2: "I never liked that library anyway."

Boy: "We have a library?"

They said as Ruby walks pass the students talking about the incident. 

Margot: "There you are!"

She said as Ruby screamed.

Margot: "Why'd you stop answering our texts last night? I was worried that monster got to you."
