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.1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBF2mjF0nu

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.1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KcIIphPly

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIljggoYLQ

“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.1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lOfHKUIUz
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBTK4xzd8T
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation.  “Remember…Remember what I said.”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj9ff9eMW0
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYDCotviCk
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.1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDw5dRrQnr

“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LKxpmlGDj
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99vREWdOhr
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTianBZORah
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaEYsa2qgu
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydoX2p0FZ8

“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 myself1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzyVNUQe6n
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYRxolCA0C
​“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEirOVOir2u
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93S8nCjyGA
​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?”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaOA5MSGdu
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2InSC0IPE
“Then why…”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxdLoEindL
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WeDWsZh6G
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7iuAQ9Sd6
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDQlAEv3k0
“We have fought several times.”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9dwdhExj8
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR4HuBj1cN
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMkbq9iTxX
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJyJ0rZBcZ
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMsOAucFLm
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXh6VkAzMA
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCzJ1zU5ka
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsMQvY5Ux2
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.1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1JY3B33Av
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYGjSX0pxV
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1dw9COBKN
 1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyhoZvtGFX
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCwVuSzKt9
 1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbYQx5qH05
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTkc0OmI6b
 1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF305JqPtk
“Ah yes…”  The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZhZG60SqK
 1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe18HiAIIxV
“Jenny would never…”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59yaKo6utw
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXLrMVegPj
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want  her  gone…”1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzNJip4980
 1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTVnH66cQK
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNInxoGh0V
