"You're leaving school?!" Principal Arthur exclaimed in disbelief. You flinched on your seat in front of his desk and nodded weakly. He frantically read the resignation letter again."But why..?"

Immediately, the atmosphere started to get heavy.

"I..." you paused, hesitating.

"Is your salary too small for you?" Arthur suggested. "Are the children getting too hard to handle?"

"No! No, sir, the reason is nowhere near any of that!"

"Could it be that there is there someone in the school that is threatening you?"

"Well... Ye-"

"What?!"

"I mean, no!"

"(Y/N)-!!"

"Shh!" You covered your mouth, realizing that you just shushed a principal, "I-I'm sorry, sir..! I-I mean... not... by someone who is a member of this school..."

Arthur's jaw dropped. He leaned back on his chair, his thick brows were knitted together, almost meeting at his temple. He was silent for a moment, his body tense, his emerald eyes showing that he was completely horrified by your sudden announcement.

"By who, then?"

You bit your lip, still hesitating. You knew you couldn't just tell him an entire lie, but you also couldn't tell him the entire truth. You just had to make him understand the general idea, without telling him all the details. The more truth that you will tell him, the more you will put the school at risk. You licked your lips and decided on what to say.

"Please don't be too alarmed... I accidentally got involved in something that is dangerous. There are people who are hunting me right this very moment." You said quickly. At that, Arthur's eyes widened. "With me being in this situation, I might put the entire school at risk," you explained further.

"Why... don't you contact the police?"

You sighed, "it's alright, sir. I already have all the help that I can get."

"But-"

"But right now, I can't let innocent people get involved. I hope you understand."

Arthur sighed, and nodded slowly. "I see." There was a long pause before he spoke again. "You know, you're a treasured member of this school. Your class won't take this easily."

You chuckled sadly. "I'll take care of that..."

He sighed once more."Well then," he said, sitting straight, "Ms. (L/N), are you really sure?"

Ever since you entered the office, you already wanted to cry. Now, your throat already hurts because of trying to stop your tears from falling. It was unfair. Why was the world being so unfair to you right now? All those years of hard work, the memories, everything you have done has been nothing but good. You held back the tears. You loved this school and everyone in it. It hurts to think that the very reason why you had to leave them is that you loved them. But you knew that even though it hurts really bad, It'll hurt more if something were to happen to them. Choking back the tears, you choked out the words "I am." You turned your hands into fists, letting your nails dig into your palms so you could stop the tears from falling. "I... love this school with all my heart... and that's the reason why I have to leave you."

Arthur sighed sadly. "Very well... You may pack up your things tomorrow. Or if you want you may start now."

You nodded. "I will."
