Miss Rue:
Finally, I got up, folded my legs beneath me, and sat upright on the floor, my hands resting on my knees.
I finally raised my head and stared the headmaster in the eye.
"He is lying. I did none of that," I said softly, making sure my voice sounded steady.
"Wait a minute. We are not sure," Mr. Rick spoke up. "I do remember seeing footage of Miss Rue going into the woods near the fence to the North. It was the same day Clementine was supposed to return."
He was taking his anger out on me for my earlier comment.
I snapped my head toward him and glared for a moment before I spoke.
"He is doing this because I reminded him that he killed three innocent boys from Green Squad to hide his own failure."
The moment I said that, the headmaster rushed across the table and grabbed Rick by the collar.
"What is she saying?" he demanded.
At the same time, I did not realize when it happened, but Troy rushed toward me, grabbed the back of my hair, and forced me to stand.
