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.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglEsfWBMoS

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.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQMUkC84bt

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7EwSRyooz
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aJh1dSNTf
“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.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIrFLuyjB0
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCqpDbdxi8
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation.  “Remember…Remember what I said.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmiEQcEweg
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUyNvGpAAd
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.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oZLgXxcFJ

“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXav3wzjNRk
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IHX9hBXE4
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUUq5ZROt8
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwDemeSR72
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxnQQz5HRs
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oNtVgJba5
“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 myself781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQecyavwUzD
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GgM4FuGoU
​“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pcnw5Qo4a
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE66tyCaQU
​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?”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0GcQPLm5K
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkuZphGrFP
“Then why…”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uvABq67qC
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWqPTLEa2N
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjdWvlMIvZ
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89y1WA8jkJ
“We have fought several times.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBeKNeuY8k
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9yi7Rphhe
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfKJTjhVFk
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixHQc8TDYS
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB0AWhbHlP
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEaVBBCYZR
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8mN9ENwKv
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH1evKHwuM
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.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrdpenpH2q
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo27NqEKad
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZt0NVPPRm
 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElt52H9lyD
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yrvtuZjf8
 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95FqShqs9l
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyYKxAgNAG
 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7BYPULwDB
“Ah yes…”  The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojbEdShN0s
 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FGt1Co9Xz
“Jenny would never…”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELmmgb2PHS
781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHx1RO0nMQ
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want  her  gone…”781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzFNDui6Ga
 781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ROclPgKdU
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.781Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfIOxA81Rd
