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.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJpFanG6aW

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.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4qJSBh7gG

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GQ56nH1O6

“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.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cN5XaawkA
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrVTjJdThb
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation.  “Remember…Remember what I said.”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPcF9bWPPf
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5UIlu3bE3
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.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMvOz1CqJg

“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyHx5BozuP
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKShqHJAPok
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lJzu9eZTg
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW57mSdHNt
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGI9rH7Sjt
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0M2ODdxzE
“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 myself1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD35hDqCXHr
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlW7lTNcDw
​“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8YJx8Yxg8
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbWZcMX3CA
​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?”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9pgCYigkX
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVNdd6njgL
“Then why…”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9EdY0l3i9
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMlXmP6UNz
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM33N1fUpq
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8x2rNVCkA
“We have fought several times.”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVgsV5sMMB
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyyXwz3ovi
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWIgfUuBXb
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlJc1K9a25
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75SViYm50Q
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyASD7yn951
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreR3h7PqdO
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHr4V6rurv
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.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCvTgsmCwR
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H85ipmBTQ
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabpcrd78S0
 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXSdYIKjp1
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcgbnYoNJU
 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp4UesLz7n
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oZEAfZcr9
 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqAAstuKYD
“Ah yes…”  The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUKNVQcxnJ
 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVSaEsHVWa
“Jenny would never…”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGheFSPLrXy
1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vo1NB4f56
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want  her  gone…”1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7MCZzy5Jx
 1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFYFXrYGxF
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.1020Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3L4jJLT28
