She Knew the Truth 12

He laughed at me as I sat there and everything faded out. I woke up at the nurses office. Mom, the nurse, and Mr. Gainy were looking over me. I jumped up, scared that Mr. Gainy was going to do something but he couldn’t, he wouldn’t, with mom around.
“Honey, your awake! What in the world happened?” she said. I just sat there. I wanted to tell her it was all Mr. Gainy but I found myself unable to speak.
“Mrs. Barry, I know exactly what happened,” Mr. Gainy said. Was he going to speak up?
“What happened Mr. Gainy?” mom asked.
“Well, I found your daughter on the floor of a janitor’s closet. And….......someone was there,” he said. What a liar.
“Who?” asked mom, her eyes widened.
“It was, Denise Penski,” he said. I couldn’t believe it, he blamed my best friend.
