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.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9HbUzwKzh

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.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu75kc7fz3B

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPTQRjH4xW
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LsaP6XWO2
“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.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRY2kpa0FG
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC2FIENj0j
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation.  “Remember…Remember what I said.”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB3nDQTMsT
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHzFynwUpb
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.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHJLAte8cs

“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw8zpAttmg
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT35PKXXX3r
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReEGZly1wt
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4ZVDdXAf2
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaj6hn0N2t

“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 myself855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx0IQDaieY
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcprzzQu5M9
​“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXWUwav5s9
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFINchJ61Y1
​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?”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN09ZoFkMG
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAVC3gtMyK
“Then why…”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqZ8glkioT
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyQoqafEcP
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtYoyaO3Nj
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD3OBusdtJ
“We have fought several times.”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmoajz2wCt
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbL0L4QQYg
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUNBcEIZyM
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bzgH2YJ5M
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKcZlAEnNw
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IVkDYaz2j
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa6MBOT4hM
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjM8iY6gid
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.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrAX8SnSEO
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b4dRLK6Ok
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNOGXFHrYP
 855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB46NjdTXID
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRITyexwnr4
 855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiLSUR8tVg
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mdwyMEFPO
 855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNmZIlZCeQ
“Ah yes…”  The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX0V5sklht
 855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL97FGW2SJ
“Jenny would never…”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwN9tXnmyM
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkV1iuKVW0
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want  her  gone…”855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BWe0nJm1I
 855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBefoo6U1sU
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YJRNACWrY
