I should have known I’d be called first. Me being the prime suspect and all…Strangely enough, I didn’t feel at all nervous when the summons came. I followed the peon into the principal’s office, steadfastly ignoring the voice which was shouting out the thoughts of my classmates. I didn’t harm Jolly, I told myself, so I have nothing to be afraid of.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2OmzjHtfw

It felt strange to see Lekha Madam standing at the door of her office like a security guard. She looked up when I approached and managed a small smile.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDmojGo077

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHkzpzY9pr
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqlScFPgqv
“I’m not scared.” I said, slowly. “Not at all…” How did I dare say that in front of the principal? Maybe…I was just too afraid to care about the words that left my mouth.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dUTvWbHl6
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnhJ08nsVW
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation. “Remember…Remember what I said.”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut4AeMOp7O
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFt38bhFke
I nodded, trying to hide a smile. I had made up my mind to be defiant. The manager was going to get the biggest surprise of his life.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIr6RAfqBR
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4cg363JQA
“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1rwlg0Tzw
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vRydUEwIY
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwdKb3P9Qi
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgBSNDDcdZ
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P7aS5iBV0
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIhGEjVk1p
“Do you wonder why I called you first?” He asked. The voice was laughing with glee, so loudly that it hurt my ears. He would pin the crime on me if there’s a chance. I took a deep breath. There’s no use being nervous. I told myself745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDay6ZeJaEI
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog9bsu1sG1
“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHVRoQqIMI
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH84eHdBFib
He laughed. His laugh was even less pleasant than his smile. “Am I such an idiot as to lend so much weight to that’s boy’s ridiculous accusation?”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5m2b3Vpa9
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgvE39FBGz
“Then why…”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lIYI5R6UK
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5ruKtGNvg
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKC0fc2jGH
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxzjxJqyDE
“We have fought several times.”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdSkKk98VQ
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetI4OIZ43j
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5OBZcLaJo
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8oXd1vrXU
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwQT1ClIbH
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN2TTjyziZ
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPLQOl3BrT
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRTEg2y1ai
The voice told me all the connections his brain was making. The Inspector knew very well that Lawrence’s words alone were too feeble to tie me to the crime. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t name me as an accomplice to someone with a bigger motive.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHLAp37Eku
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XFYqvhp7t
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjQquCQ8g6
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8NX1pfJBj
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvHAaVbgcO
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxW98ZBqfc
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG7JEbKx2U
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2jDgPy297
“Ah yes…” The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzIIrJYwGh
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwp2XvXvpD
“Jenny would never…”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwj2Q8tKAz
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY80OzGzkq
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want her gone…”745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSw1RBY63o
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbSPXVV1KB
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpdkj6sD5u
