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.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg34msyHsEA

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.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeFo4nPQg7

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIAljWQpjm
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IaGYRpzC6
“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.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe06A6USbqs
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cFg0kMViz
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation. “Remember…Remember what I said.”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd01UPT7s3I
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52FtP0k18k
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.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJL4pO9bVB
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyimKvbZ9n
“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64tKI0zLdY
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW7At7WaBd
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFEnQxb9kB
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQMtIQKIzh
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw9rqyi5ph
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O93ttG9c9
“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 myself816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe8ZII0nfY
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGCVULRjMM
“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vLha1dzW6
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMzQ01jW0w
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?”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALMLqEAcOY
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkkyCVYBLQ
“Then why…”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKmH1P262w
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P7EBlOnoM
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBheQO8yQXX
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv21Dl60gdi
“We have fought several times.”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1fpIRtcVX
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23pkDd3Lz7
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pAEgXM1M9
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqShEuStRi
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhq80jc020
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi2pjqL1Q8
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA7VPh42sA
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0JgesFbEa
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.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b0K8jESJY
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx8wDQZq5X
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldpHYEwrKj
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70VaV4vr7J
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd3JXQ0plC
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4fSrYyah5
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQotd4m0Deg
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD571K1EJw
“Ah yes…” The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEKgPEyl8t
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQEHXoJDP2
“Jenny would never…”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qUtJOl6fg
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrpsmoKwKh
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want her gone…”816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrOtw6xf8Q
816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplUWTGWnqp
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3E2n858P3
