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.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB3XxusGb8

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.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKEetPjtup

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8fIAnor0t
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zw2dT0REa
“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.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB8lhoix1B
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1ACeejZ4G
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation.  “Remember…Remember what I said.”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZFB0cFX3x
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28AR28Jvg7
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.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI336xsuSo

“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5QdzxQQDQ
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJestcaWWW
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdCySoLRP4
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIE5CHGiXt
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvQZjX8n0D
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0PAewXxOD
“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 myself764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa27IrGqGGY
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGKdKcGUj9
​“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S74Xl7ghc
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbRkRR5s9F
​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?”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YizCFd46p
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hjKH5NLXQ
“Then why…”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ79r8ew0M8
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fYxNRjPoO
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ7D1l7gCY
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQgX9teWsp
“We have fought several times.”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOHhtKBhnq
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqGzgs4ovu
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLPc4bZ01D
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JTj3XHpCD
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bJTua3DUG
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeInf3ttIM
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocPz1kQ0KD
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ZbHTiTUh
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.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZezt9b4gtq
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDItcpVJSG
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf08O6p42J
 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3EhW75SCI
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVKGIXRybS
 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHUIPavX1r
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlrqTAjAXs
 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p9DR9maKp
“Ah yes…”  The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcSRnVdUH7
 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbdFl7V24C
“Jenny would never…”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PWViv1t0g
764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7AHN0AHIR
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want  her  gone…”764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JviFHhoVT
 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBXqFODlSU
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHJW86q4cu
