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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7GSq8ghfe

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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBF5ZJzv8E

“There’s nothing to be worried about, Amy.” She told me, gently. “Jut answer his questions truthfully and you’ll be fine.”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPq7tOCa8n
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA5JoMj4us
“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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKqwcUqPDx
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEokeTzXriC
She looked at me in half in pity and half in exasperation. “Remember…Remember what I said.”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvXMcdbSpX
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfibiuerKd
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgRfttfTA4
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZgvjRhQE9
“Inspector Sir…” Lekha Madam called out and knocked once on the door. “Amy is here.”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oR3gLzyyN
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OSKIsNYXx
I heard the rough voice of the Inspector say come in. With a smile at Lekha Madam I walked inside.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvDCbotqJI
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxjrnz2HJK
The Inspector was seated at Lekha Madam’s desk. His lips twisted into a smile when he saw me.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMHgDA9nRk
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAkN9fLotP
“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 myself779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFOVv9pUm1
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiwX8ciEtX
“You want to question me about Lawrence’s accusations, I suppose.”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wmJJ7xrrh
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO9gtNRf3K
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?”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O6aCIpAMf
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiF9AURp6Y
“Then why…”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8vtfqkPHb
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqQT8oz8Ds
“You and Jolly have a rather unpleasant history. I believe you fought before the crime took place?”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3oC4PwwgP
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof450LMn1r
“We have fought several times.”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LgW7YLrWF
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAEts5pAhi
“So…” His voice was positively gleeful. “You admit you were her enemy.”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaxswtNDnp
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0WgbYzEAn
“Not an enemy, Sir.” I said. “I didn’t like her. Many of us didn’t like her.”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspSUiszcZm
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi0PHUUrj9
“Would you count Nancy among these so called many?”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKrbjtXLwd
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB13cpRFRd
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDcE8eaSBD
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8SaH08XiC
“Nancy…She wouldn’t…” My facade of calmness deserted me for a minute. And that gave the Inspector time to pounce.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8n5fuyvyl
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuEObIf0qN
“She wouldn’t hate Jolly after being taunted and humiliated day by day?”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE65zGbpIEI
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ioqvUkuiU
“She’s not the only person that Jolly does that to.”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgw6ycpXrj
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaag8J44ZO
“Ah yes…” The Inspector smiled. “There’s also your friend Jennifer…”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cLSFI5NT5
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleNt10pFn8
“Jenny would never…”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvJNBzuMt4
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuANo9svh07
“You always stand up for others, don’t you? If your two friends are desperate and hurt enough to want her gone…”779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7f321tGvO
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmcvM8JSPy
I froze. Jenny too… His bloodshot eyes were slits. The smile had transformed into a leer.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ErsFN58gy
