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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkYvYcb37E

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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOOizOHxVi

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYYpISaWc5
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlJCvwDf8i
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RLkCv9y6e
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBDfQIQyMu
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation. “Remember…Remember what I said.”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVMCpbaoMT
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPjS2POXeV
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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjz7BRal2L
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoWv5GAnLZ
“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedylrMgXMh
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fj2sIcYLr
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaLVsJEuib
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oHiliSUPA
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEeZspTCq9
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpMxGJW8jS
“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 myself746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoNhxMfqGJ
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lLc8CBNNG
“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAFuMZa8sI
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FbmVBxl39
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?”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZYONaRA1q
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBQCGMGHnG
“Then why…”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbvh4RxsRx
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYsZUb3CPr
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E25QJsVbG
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNbM326mN9
“We have fought several times.”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oiOXp3kiE
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWwKJ6v4Yt
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOaGihYC1l
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiCWTYo9c7
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVZZICTRNk
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aWkbhJuXu
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiiORdH8Fd
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7wURFo3wy
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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS79uHQa609
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2EN2rGRFU
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElnL4bQIhT
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBxYXiIBgw
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu43Vd9nmG
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH3doJSLPk
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdsFAfgzAF
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5la9QohBD
“Ah yes…” The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr2RrSi59A
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqPKwHxlte
“Jenny would never…”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYgzU1XaP1
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCakOggSEmH
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want her gone…”746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU5T2q52Hx
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgchns1iSKf
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSqsHWX1Sn
