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.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDiIHCYWIZ

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.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm4LQImiLE

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfdfCqI2XY
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrPfpiROYs
“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.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69yTbtHCgE
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkxz9qZyct
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation. “Remember…Remember what I said.”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkgkprrrim
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dK1OAbiE9
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.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b0189IfWW
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMbhUjD6qX
“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfFNAkNT2k
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKtYLFs9w4
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOROkpvbeMh
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiHf8wiBu5
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1aDt2afWS
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgobmSTjxX
“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 myself849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVdb69Tdzb
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHVStXWvK3
“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohoD186gBP
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkt9pTPULo
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?”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpKywrXU8K
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONuVHwbgQz
“Then why…”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NbVc0KBjy
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJiSIRh5Il
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEQWgawWaw
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ41Q391xj
“We have fought several times.”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmYM8rREqG
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5RSoGDWmR
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVWK18zyN7
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QspAuqelM
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1L5QMNj6f
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLYof2PCEO
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKxafPcgkK
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdpxnWY9yH
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.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB6bMvJiLv
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFsw6EXHwf
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dHr0Ccpl9
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk4yzn0HXm
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKJn71isKS
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp1V2rO26L
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mRJDgCqp5
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpZgtWkzlG
“Ah yes…” The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSPCInFcQk
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVw2kNQ2eG
“Jenny would never…”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRsKP8O3s2
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayjNhFmmS6
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want her gone…”849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRwo3zwMYX
849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtXfMAnmU1
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t4I4XhPGn
