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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2oKuQBF4F

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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8auPLN5pa

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsvboKUFwl
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3CwN0Lgon
“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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFEhiu64n8
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa52pC0Nceq
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation.  “Remember…Remember what I said.”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iVVn9MG94
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio4o7sev5I
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0BNnmsU0h
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK31BSOQEi
“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cGhxz9f4R
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wKsgELzBN
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXFU3d2dq9
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzYrZHY7Lj
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyENKfkw4Rg
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFLKWRSyIa
“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 myself763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRKXtavJwC
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXZJOhtf51
​“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NihuKFHGN
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWlHe3VzKB
​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?”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27H0ZQJXI0
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGx9fi7lj7
“Then why…”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfakJKvq4Rr
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe406SoAyxq
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfLxJAbqxP
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpTKjjdVB3
“We have fought several times.”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VFhtCj9Pv
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdWstDx6Vp
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3mNzSmJdI
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiBLZaqobY
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFHIhi0YAz
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28h4eWYuYn
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ruVUiVZf3
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zBOQhs6Nm
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTq09VYaiO
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGscSDvlF4e
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU5UQgLFy6
 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm80tdmQycj
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq8tgx1e0t
 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3XGq7XB9G
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjUJWDLMWh
 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tGmohOV8E
“Ah yes…”  The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MevqpSuih
 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqc7AcuREX
“Jenny would never…”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwdWO7quyB
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlCtXotHQH
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want  her  gone…”763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutxiLZpvo3
 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQV3t6SOFF
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9cSZzUeGn
