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.856Please respect copyright.PENANAx4BDMOs857
856Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZmutK8dfM
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.856Please respect copyright.PENANA9t1WNHj41d
856Please respect copyright.PENANAySi81joeWk
“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”856Please respect copyright.PENANAV7ILX8JxOd
856Please respect copyright.PENANAqTWhq1QoP7
“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.856Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bdb18zcK9
856Please respect copyright.PENANArVh91t2Qmi
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation. “Remember…Remember what I said.”856Please respect copyright.PENANAWX0lqCHIU4
856Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2iVt7TMMM
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.856Please respect copyright.PENANABK1qB2SaUA
856Please respect copyright.PENANAkNEZYVCYdC
“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”856Please respect copyright.PENANADPOTpF79bu
856Please respect copyright.PENANA40GrZRpZUH
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.856Please respect copyright.PENANAHQCfBijTHR
856Please respect copyright.PENANAZg8NykpOuS
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.856Please respect copyright.PENANAIkV4kkvi6L
856Please respect copyright.PENANAUjgQF9xkjq
“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 myself856Please respect copyright.PENANACITQoCwFPE
856Please respect copyright.PENANAwduy2kAg3C
“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”856Please respect copyright.PENANAvh3XGcwkjS
856Please respect copyright.PENANAD9sLUvXjNg
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?”856Please respect copyright.PENANALdtiwXFk1n
856Please respect copyright.PENANAZigIBSjv4U
“Then why…”856Please respect copyright.PENANAxXXTztiMBa
856Please respect copyright.PENANA9X5XmYgJLt
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”856Please respect copyright.PENANAtYlSfHLLOm
856Please respect copyright.PENANAwIZegElfua
“We have fought several times.”856Please respect copyright.PENANAjh4am3UBCU
856Please respect copyright.PENANAzlQWUAGLBv
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”856Please respect copyright.PENANAiDf9uQuTOk
856Please respect copyright.PENANAJX5vYUwilb
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”856Please respect copyright.PENANA4pHKgSUmSR
856Please respect copyright.PENANArixnK2ZZkE
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”856Please respect copyright.PENANApKTgUItMWH
856Please respect copyright.PENANAtfR2YCfhgN
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.856Please respect copyright.PENANASMBLxLj0su
856Please respect copyright.PENANASKG2WRWsfU
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.856Please respect copyright.PENANALjppXx3gJc
856Please respect copyright.PENANAiv5TWoe6xg
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”856Please respect copyright.PENANA56hzDwI7Tt
856Please respect copyright.PENANAMkzfJr5yLX
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”856Please respect copyright.PENANAoPhiD9ottv
856Please respect copyright.PENANA7gsP6ObIBO
“Ah yes…” The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”856Please respect copyright.PENANAux4B2DGeUv
856Please respect copyright.PENANAWqFCZH4HXr
“Jenny would never…”856Please respect copyright.PENANAnALSQIWETd
856Please respect copyright.PENANAKMCfxg7tjh
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want her gone…”856Please respect copyright.PENANAml003R34Gg
856Please respect copyright.PENANAanB68xYuIb
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.856Please respect copyright.PENANA0SFWPJIHyN
