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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRbonzs88K

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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBovwOeAGN

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYrHgKrPyv
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBOTCywb9X
“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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wV6vrPtHM
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM84QjchzC
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation. “Remember…Remember what I said.”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7bQ85drgs
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdADKLG3N8p
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W9Ij5afSY
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5kod8AE4w
“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWXlq2nFwn
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40m549SiJm
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYZ6UfC7za
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ILNuseRAH
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4HiXfHFoA
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QjBAq0l04
“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 myself680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiYuAKIskN
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WvjaCdAbv
“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xnK5Gw86t
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sMDwBgRHm
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?”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjUCTS4rse
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTxy8GTBJE
“Then why…”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA24aPvPx9n
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtrGlLRs4u
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCrAFsI5Tt
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPSzko7dzT
“We have fought several times.”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T2cNBLY6a
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyruf4oefHw
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbRmJ5MD8O
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFJ3sNCpZs
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oQkwU02sm
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP1K2VisWP
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzZc7fp2SH
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHcoikYWnA
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVo5E57Sed
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgoXDacxW3
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW54dlqwie
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpzcryNAjB
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGx46q4olN
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPa9wRLFGQ
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut2AvJxlGj
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz5tDpagwl
“Ah yes…” The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ95ePpmSd
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPBYNVWLq3
“Jenny would never…”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXviSTSnTpk
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixI11lwsdi
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want her gone…”680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1njIXsNTa
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ156MyIUFZ8
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OQrkvGCXz
