hauntingly beautiful

Chapter 27

There was a light knocking on my door.
I groaned, flipping a pillow over my head.
The knocking became louder, as a soft voice called my name out.
"Hayden, I'm coming in." Ruth said, pushing my bedroom door open.
The lights turned on, as I squinted through my tired eyes.
"What Ruth?" I asked, irritation clear in my voice.
She frowned with hurt. "Hayden, I'm doing what I have to do for your own good."
I turned my body away from her, as she sat on the edge of my bed.
"I know I'm not your mother." I cringed at the mention.
"But, I am your guardian." she finished.
My small hands wrapped around the corner of my blanket tightly.
I felt her warm hands running through my hair gently.
I flinched at her touch, before she pulled away.
"I've already signed you up for a private boarding school." she confessed.
I jolted up from my bed, staring at her with wide eyes.
How could she?
We haven't even discussed it properly yet, and she was already signed me up to another school?
"What?" I asked with disbelief.
She put her hand on my shoulder, as I shook it off.
"I did it for your own good." Ruth said sternly.
"For my own good?" I cried. "You didn't even bother talking to me about it yet!"
Ruth clenched her jaw. "I'm sorry, Hayden. But, I've already signed you up and paid for your tuition. They don't give back refunds."
I swallowed the lump in my throat, as tears welled up in my eyes.
Ruth's features softened, as she placed her hand on top of mine.
"I know I'm not your mother in your eyes, but you're my daughter in mine." she soothed. "I love you, Hayden, and what loving mother would I be if I let your students bully you to such a bad point?"
A single tear fell out of my eye.
"Where is it? I croaked.
"Where's what?" she asked.
"The school."
Ruth bit her lip nervously, as scractched the back of her neck.
She stayed quiet, as my eyes became hard and angered.
"Where is it?!" I repeated with aggravation.
She sighed. "California."
I felt myself stop breathing.
California was all the way across the country!
How could Ruth send me from Pennsylvania to California?
"I know it's a long distance, but the school is great. It's ranked one of the best private boarding schools in the nation." Ruth quickly added.
"What about Hunter?" I asked desperately.
Ruth's mouth fell, as she stared at me with regret.
"You have... you fell in love?" she asked softly.
Did I?
Did I fall in love with Hunter?
I nodded. "Yes." I whispered.
Ruth closed her eyes tightly, wrapped a arm around my shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Hayden. If I knew, I wouldn't have signed you up."
I breathed, muffling in her shoulder.
"Please let me stay." I choked.
Ruth hesitated, but shook her head.
"I paid thousands. They have a fine policy of no returns."
I stayed quiet, as tears rolled down my cheeks.
Ruth got off my bed, as she proceeded to leave my room.
"You're leaving tomorrow night." she said before closing my door.

... ... .........A year ago A girl named Kathy was hated by everyone. Everyone made fun of her. She was ignored. Even by messages. One day she decided to kill herself. Because even her parents ignored her. She jumed out her window. No one noticed utill people started dissapearing. Kathy haunted them. She made them suffer like the way she did. She hung them slowly and stabed them over and over very slowly so they could suffer like she did.
If you don't send this message to 15 diffrent comments you will die tonight by Kathy. Because she considers it ignooring her.
Example 1:
Dave looked at the first sentece and said, "Spam" And the next day the neighbors found him in his backyard, dead.
Example 2:
Joane was alone. She didn't have kids or a husband. She had alot of friends. When She had a sleepover with them she quickly had to check her e-mail.She saw this message and sent it to only 6 people because she thought
