We are all now in the principal sir's room. He is patiently taking a sip of his tea. Tea on the table. A sip again. Tea on the table. Sip again. It has been like this since hours. A boy from the dead girl's class breaks the ice as he shouts with all the energy his body could gather, "She deserves justice. Rani was killed. She was killed. She didn't suicide."

"Okay", replies the principal. He continues with his tea again until he has drunk it all. Then he stands mightily to speak up these words, "She died. Let bygones be bygones. You people continue with your classes and the reason for commanding you here is simple: You all are witnesses of the event. She slipped when she was playing on the school window."

Saving reputation of this school is indeed the most crucial business for him. I sigh and walk out of the door so that i can rest on my "window side" bench. Everybody stares at me at first but knowing our principal, they follow my path.

I am in the class now. Trying not to cry over the girl who has just given up her life. The girl beside me is already in tears, half of the class is. I stand up. The teacher doesn't obstruct. I walk upto the dead girl's class.

Shivani. I notice her first. She is soothing everybody. Nice girl.

I hold her by throat while the words come out of my mouth, "What did you dare her to do? Tell me or i will stab you to death with a small pin. You know i can do that, by the way." I smile while the last words come out of my mouth.

"Ah well."
She said this and further added that she isn't interested in interacting with me. Biggest hint.
