Myrtle entered Headmaster Dippet's office. He sat with his hands folded on top of his desk and stared at her with kindly eyes. "Hello, Ms. Warren."
Myrtle pushed the glasses up her nose. "Hello, sir. Why did you call me here?"
"I was wondering if there was anything you wanted to talk about."
Myrtle furrowed her eyebrows. "You called me here."
Headmaster Dippet nodded. "I know I did. I'm worried about you. I hear some stories, and I have a no tolerance for bullying policy. It's why what I'm hearing is so troubling."
Myrtle sat down and clutched her skirt with tense fingers. "Sir, I'm dealing with it."
"Myrtle, you shouldn't have to deal with it. If you tell me who it is, I can put a stop to it."
Myrtle shook her head. "You need to trust me when I say telling you will only make it worse. It's not that bad and they're just words. I'll be fine. Please, don't get involved."
Headmaster Dippet sighed. "I don't like it, but I can't really do anything about it without your acceptance. Okay, I'll let it go for now."
Myrtle quickly stood up. "Thank you, sir." She bowed respectively and left the room.
Armando sighed. He had really hoped to help her. Hopefully, she'd eventually allow it. After all, she couldn't allow it to continue forever.
