In August of standard six my classmates and I have our Bahasa Melayu class shortened by 45 minutes. We filed into our classroom, wearing dark pinafores and sharp looking pants we stare at the blackboard. The drawings don't make sense to us but the cops say it is offensive. Five minutes later, we walk down the empty hallway of the primary school to the meeting room. I can answer the polis with most honesty. They suspect we witness the vandal, the five of us they question. We learn to thread slowly on the mine land of conversations especially with the late teacher. I don't worry about not being able to know who drew it. My friend is a girl who loves to knit named Saranya with dark hair and eyes. She held me by the hands, she whispers silently into my ears and it tickles. He better run far before they catch him. They got the wrong people, she says as she walks away, grinning from cheek to cheek.
Yeah, just like that.
