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.793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5urpGYMjHL

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.793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTCSyHtzU

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfNeb5eN9V
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvJ0tHmmTC
“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.793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kIgpVZM2K
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqfy3FbIAc
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation. “Remember…Remember what I said.”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YnraNkdO7
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6w9Kbn6eL
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.793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcFi7YjvCn

“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9L6FxXAxB
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTyMOSeP17
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0lLe7pW2a
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8BaVH0Wnq
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5fVMn8Jom

“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 myself793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53rPQUCtvX
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAUaAYljxv
“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g0rtqrUuq
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkruu4Pz6w
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?”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlBBeLcisp
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oLLjOFsnJ
“Then why…”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCU1AggXEm
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanb9SeTODS
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxnZfyrK8H
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBO0QGhsj3
“We have fought several times.”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGF0ve8PsQ
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZaZZkryE9
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIPa4WqXOw
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbLxJ6KkzZ
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhmEIpjQoS
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOAnBfoWY3
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN68qSQqOw
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RfTCDNeTy
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.793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rRIsErsRI
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS0vm50Xhs
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGF9QJLJFb
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPGS0KXwY7
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXAtihXAiH
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAC04pphe7
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9RrbkTcea
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7jqDCEatt
“Ah yes…” The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74coQ7hu38
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx58dusq2nN
“Jenny would never…”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZpKgHfy1I
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PP2yve01N
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want her gone…”793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsnmxYml1q
793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pv8dmyWwr
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.793Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5SwfLeZrC
