(Ellie is seen standing before the director)
Director: I hear you claim that your French text book, note book and workbook were missing.
Ellie: Yes..........
Director: How is it possible that all your French books are missing at a go?
Ellie: Ma, I don't know............
Director: You don't know? And one of the strangest things is that you claim only one person took all three books.
Ellie: (stood there silent) Ma, I have a confession to make. Malory was always jealous of Alero and still is. She made Nancy and I to frame Alero. Nancy put the books in Alero's bag when she was outside during break time. And Malory made me to pretend as if my books were missing. So that, Alero's good name in this school will be ruined. And everybody will know her as a thief!
Director: Aren't you a devilish child?
Ellie: (Knelt down in tears) Please ma, I am awfully sorry it wasn't my wish. I didn't want to do it but Malory made me to.
Director: But you did it anyway.
Ellie: Please forgive me. I am sorry, I am very sorry. (She continued crying)
(Lights out)
