Catrina tried to find the words for an explanation, a valid explanation, but there was none.<br/><br/>The Dean sighed as he squeezed the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes and putting his head down.<br/>"Ms. Haylee, I'm sorry but I must ask you to resign your position. I won't fire you, I'll give the chance to just walk away so that your record remains... untainted. But please pack up your things and leave the school's premises by tomorrow night," he said to her plainly.<br/><br/>Catrina nodded in shame, but there was one thing she had to ask. "What about Akira?"<br/><br/>The Dean lifted up an eyebrow, "The STUDENT will be dealt with and you have no more rights to know what happens to him." He turned away but then looked back at her, "... if you must know, of course our policies are clear. He will be expelled and banned from the school."<br/><br/>"No," Catrina said quickly walking to the Dean, her hands reaching out to him. "It... he... I..." she stammered.<br/><br/>"I forced him," she finally said and then swollowed her lie.<br/><br/>-----------------------------<br/><br/><br/>Catrina packed up the last picture frame of her family into a box. She couldn't believe she'd have to leave and stop doing what she loved most, but she knew she could always find another school, after all her records would show that she quit. She sighed looking over at the couch where Akira and her had..... she shook the thoughts out of her head, only thankful that she'd convinced the Dean to let her stay under the impression that she'd forced a student to have sex with her.<br/><br/>Walking down the hall with a single box in hand, she smiled and nodded at all the students who walked passed her wondering what she was doing and perhaps already knowing that she was leaving the school for one reason or another.
