I woke up, blinking a few times to take in my surroundings. Right, I was back in my dorm. I heard rhythmic breathing beside me, glancing over to see that Ellie had taken my arm hostage and was cuddling against me. Skin against skin, I thought, the feel unfamiliar.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlA5n1hlGL
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjnpx9HFD6
Months ago, when I had first met Ellie, she was skeptical when I didn't want to shake hands. She kept a wary eye on me all day, and finally when we arrived in our shared dorm for the first time, she cornered me.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKA067aR8w
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuxunV6GYb
"What's your deal?" she had said. "You refuse to touch anyone, whether it's a handshake or a graze of the finger! Are you some sort of germaphobe?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfRgOuF843
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBuzTlJRGl
"U-Uh..." I backed against the wall. "N-No, it's just...I c-can't say..."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYqBkma63e
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMDKjKpJNB
"You can't say? Come on, enough bull!"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06wSAg8nR0
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZo5tScDmW
"I really can't...I'm sorry."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT20eooLalh
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3ajj2wZZ3
"Tell me!" She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly pulled off my glove. "Hey!" I exclaimed.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyBV8SboTY
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPArkcFcTMD
"No. You're gonna have to get over this, okay? I'll help you through it. It's for your own good." Then she grabbed my hand with hers.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLW4e0Uq1B
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IZWPCAvoY
Skin on skin. Her memories all flashing through my head in a daze, circling, stifling, suffocating. I could only stand there and let it happen. A while later, I woke up. Ellie was leaning over me, a worried look in her eyes. "Jesus Christ! Are you okay?!" She had offered a hand, but quickly withdrew it. I blinked, but smiled, and took her hand. Nothing appeared.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSjVwPrbb4
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlSFyCyMSe
"I need to tell you something." I had said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjwSL5Z6sC
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvU62QjUGi
I flashed back to reality, Ellie's grip on my arm lighter than imagined. I slipped out of her grasp quietly, not daring to wake her. Glancing at the time, I saw it was five minutes before my alarm would have gone off. God dammit. I walked over to a mirror, conveniently located beside our dresser. What a bedhead, as per usual. I grabbed my brush from atop the dresser, my eyes catching onto Ellie's wallet.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G0h2vHyLZ
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv1ecQLY0m
I hesitated, and glanced at her. She wouldn't know the difference, would she? No, I smiled. She wouldn't. I pulled open a drawer, and searched until I found my wallet. Digging around, I pulled out two twenty dollar bills and placed them inside Ellie's wallet. Thanks, but you need it more than I do. I gingerly put her wallet back where I found it, and went back to combing the knots out of my hair just in time to hear the beeping of the alarm startle Ellie awake.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSTfMwqFGh
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CvEL6Ty5W
"I'm awake!" she announced, shooting out of bed. I laughed. "Relax, it's the first alarm. You have plenty of time until class to get ready."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HXcaVaQqj
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6qYmREnSc
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. For a second I thought I slept in again. What day is it again?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pEDZUAXt1
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLLTkyvNQa
"Monday."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXqhpEZgH3
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3eoGgMhhc

"Why do you call it that?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFveAquVAjb
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7G4HGPfqW
"Just pass it to me. Please." I rolled my eyes, grabbing her deodorant and throwing it at her. It landed on her chest, causing her to make an "Oomph!" noise, but she accepted it all the same. "What do you have first again?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli99B5G7Kp
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaAeJBRvAr
"Law." I glanced over at my textbook, a whopping seven hundred pounds to throw around.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHWeyEEh3J
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOm98xEoOk
"Oh, yeah. How is law anyway? I've been considering switching." 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz5zHH1ua4

815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDEWeA1qKt
Ellie glanced to the side. "Maybe. What about you, Miss Lawyer?" 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ctDl43voh
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX6FeAEl5S
I giggled. "Well, it's precisely that. You already know I'm going to be a lawyer. Why ask again?" 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGzIx1Ngml

815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLsCxfAuUO
"So go for it." I checked my watch. "Shoot, gotta go. We'll continue this conversation later." I felt bad for cutting it short, but had to get to my classroom sooner rather than later. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYL9NMcFlt

I slipped into my regular seat, in the middle of everything. Not too close to the front, but not too far at the same time. I like this spot, it made me feel blended in enough with the rest of the crowd to not freak out about trivial things. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z7IXgaS7q
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLSZbHPod2
"Ah, we meet again." The voice made me freeze in my spot, halting all attempts to set up my laptop and looking to my left to see him. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QxEoqcbDq
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV960tAkp52
"Pip," I said. "What are you doing here?" 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQkchlc0GO
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Eab1K3tA0
"Same as you. I'm here to learn." 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLbHkPQuwW
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgZSnetyoc
I stifled a laugh, returning to unzipping my bag and booting up my laptop. "Really? You, of all people?" 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfe4MvVdY1

815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlEm2kOl6I
"I always sit in the back corner. Plus, I'm not always this early." He chuckled softly. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWNk2VeGr4
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlxSPibLyj
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure about that story. It's a little suspicious. I'll choose to believe you for now, though." 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzbaA2z0qS
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU1zcJM0ez
"I'm honoured." He leaned back in his chair. I glanced at the front to see the teacher about to start his lesson. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqEasg7lq9
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTkA2e8SI2
"Get ready to learn." I smirked at him, my hands already poised to begin typing at a moments notice. Pip stayed the way he was through the whole lecture, not bothering to take any notes. I found myself wondering why he even bothered to show up if he couldn't make an effort to learn the material. I shook the thought away, telling myself to focus on the matter at hand.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZiMfwZ1Iu
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewofb8UKUL
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6McWcHrFu
The lecture finished almost as quickly as it had started. I did a quick scroll through my notes, three pages full of text. Oh, boy. That would be a monster to study. Shrugging, I closed the lid of my laptop and squished it in my bag.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgT1jSvdkv
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U8e4mtSeB
"Catch you later," Pip said, waving as he walked out of the room. I still didn't understand what his interest was with me. It was a theory for another day, I suppose. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNZe7C4LWc
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJGJ3yD1qs
I strolled out of the room, my mind beginning to wander. It had to be around lunch time...my eyes spotted a vending machine and I made a beeline for it. Reaching into the side pocket of my bag, I pulled out my wallet. Black, standard, and not really much to it. I sighed. Maybe I should get one of those key chains or something, I thought. I put in some of my spare change, hitting the buttons C-4 and watching as my delicious bag of chips slowly unraveled from the metal coil. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXzDrIja0G
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MCkKcJZbt
With a satisfying plop I went to claim my prize, some sweet Dill Pickle flavoured potato chips. I pulled the crinkly package open, slightly self-conscious that everyone was staring at me, and dug in. I got about three chips down when I heard my phone ring.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ELOc4kp7p

815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeFSjodKdG
I hummed along with it for a second, pressing the talk button and pressing the cool metal against my ear.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lvs2drAJ1
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1cRWdxj2N
"Hello?" I said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIFuTy0tzM

"What's up, Marcus?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobSyE99DoS
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCVkyA8Elh
"I've found a new case for ya. Woman and children killed in a fire, husband the only one left alive, police think he started the fire, standard crap."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglcGD5WpVV
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFLxbNwSaq
I sighed. "Boring, but I'll take it. Where's the guy being held up at?" The faint sound of Marcus ruffling through papers and I got my answer.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5RryImhUH
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qOjyryECN
"Detention Center. You remember where that one is, right?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAdPvzGpBz
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzSrrEiHoP

815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2MefzI1cY
"Bye." I hung up the phone, sticking it back into my pocket. Did I have any other classes today? There was Psychology at three-thirty, so I have plenty of time to head over there. I crunched on the last of the chips, crinkling up the bag and throwing it in the trash. Next stop: Detention Center.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe9bGdyNon
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8xerefKFc
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB1Rx0NKIQ
It was always a dreary place, the Detention Center. It always made me feel as though there was some sort of impending doom that would strike this building, and this building only. Then again, those who were convicted here probably felt the same. As soon as I walked in the door, the stubbly, tired eyes of Marcus met mine.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4LyFEQbeN
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Roo2eY7N
"Hey! You made it." He hurriedly walked towards me, giving me a quick briefing of who we were dealing with. "His name's William Foreson, a mill worker, father, etcetera. While the police are pinning this one on him, he keeps on pleading that he's innocent. You can clear this one up, right?" Marcus spoke rather quickly, but it was a trait I was very well accustomed to by now.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITuhYkzqDY
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VgQg5vXs6
"Sounds simple enough. Can I talk to him?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV90fdyFxBg
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0hPgIDUZ1
"Yep. I've gotten the okay from the lady at the desk. He'll come to this spot right here." He guided her to the spot in question, which was as far away from other people as they could get. There was a thick wall of glass that separated the two rooms, and a phone for talking. I sat down patiently, and in a couple minutes a man approached the cubicle, nervously fiddling with his fingers. We both picked up the receivers.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S43k6jNoX
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMTdQ07pvr
"Hello," I began.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVMg3UGGcy
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVFs1uYoJA
"Hi," he said hesitantly, his voice obviously exhausted and beaten down. He didn't look too good either. His blonde hair was matted and tangled, the shadow of a beard already thickly growing in, his aqua eyes hiding a tale of sadness that I couldn't decipher.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYGABWgSuL
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyHeFNOzEc
"So you're William Foreson?" I inquired, pulling out a notebook and pen. He seemed to take on an even more ghastly look.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS4g9ksv8N
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50YBMVtrpu
"You're not one of those reporters, are you?" His voice sounded defeated.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7I7unpwH6
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrsUGsTjZK
"Wha- of course not!" I objected. "Forgive me, I should have introduced myself. I'm Riley Rhea, a becoming lawyer. I'm here to help you."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38zwtsTAu6
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhapFMDNG3
"A becoming lawyer?" William questioned.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDensUKimq
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ0RaySiXG
"I'm...still in school," I admitted sheepishly. "But I have special...expertise that lets me take on cases. I've already helped solve a handful of other cases, and now I'm here to help you. Is that alright?" William nodded glumly. I couldn't tell if he simply didn't care or if he truly understood. Seeing as the glass between us was a problem, I couldn't just peer into his memories just yet. I suppose it was time to use what I had learned in school to my advantage.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qaryy0SsX
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFzsSg0dQR
"So, I understand that you have recently experienced a great tragedy, William." I decided to start right into it, but not too harshly.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qh7R7jk5e
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwfe31UWwN
"Call me Will," he insisted. "I should've expected that was why you came to see me. Please, just know that from the bottom of my heart...I'm innocent."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm5vdXiv2J
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJOxy59D0q
"I'm not here to convict you, Will," I assured him. "I want to prove your innocence. But, to do that, I need you to answer some questions. Are you willing to cooperate?" He nodded, his eyes boring into me still with that undefined sadness. I figured it must be from losing his family all at once - it would send anyone into a shock. I spent a good hour talking as much out of him as I could. It was a simple story, but a complex problem. According to Will's alibi, he was sleeping next to his wife when the fire started. He tried to save her as well as his two kids, but ultimately couldn't. One of the kids died shortly after getting to the hospital, and the other two within the burning building itself. I figured it wouldn't hurt to visit the building, but I'd have to do it later; my Psych class was approaching quickly.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltNYunUhQ1

The evening air was sweet and cool to the senses. I walked across campus, having just finished putting my supplies back in my room, and sought to grab something small to eat. Normally I wouldn't eat out so often - two nights in a row was unheard of - but I felt no obligation to cook tonight, either. I had quite a bit of money to spare, as well, so I could afford another night. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1NI1rG7nG
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnx5RqeG19
"Where to, Riley?" I almost shouted, but quickly composed myself. "Oops, made ya jump." Pip bounced beside me, an eager smile playing his lips.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI1AZEOnJU
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtND5dDgRbc
"What do you want?" I sighed.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVcK7lKNy1
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bacYcJXlG
"I'm just tagging along. Where to?" he asked again.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddto1zceze
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujOsN6gxXl
"I'm going to get something to eat." I wasn't quite sure why I told him the truth.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYkRb83Pa2

815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiZ3zj9S9F
"Shut up!" I shot him a look. He seemed more pleased than anything.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViIrWdCcDO
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC5CwEPfKy
"But, I came here to ask you something." He stopped walking. So did I.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSd1exOsLm
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViredZsjOW
"Out with it, then." I looked him in the eye. He had very deep, entrancing green eyes, and I found it difficult to stop looking once my gazed was fixed upon him.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpir5cxmBc
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a1x0UxY6s
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me? I'll supply the food." He had a playful smile across his lips.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuo4RgPIqu
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZfOEqW2a9
"A picnic?" I questioned. "Surely people don't go on picnics anymore in this day and age."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq6IXmGCdz
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6lWepkkz6
"So then let's take a trip to the past." He took a step closer to me. "I'll make sure that nobody will make fun of us or anything, if that's what you're worried about."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZnnNYXuQC
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKsXAvi3vk
"N-No, that's not it." I pondered the thought for a moment. "A picnic, then? Sure, I have nothing to lose. When?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0hvfsLgEk
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuAP5ZjYZb
"Tomorrow at noonish. I'll meet you on top of the hill behind the science building, okay?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMZdRGLoNc
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xsQZ8ht4S
"Okay." I smiled, opening my mouth to say goodbye.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxaxd7IsIg
815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NhidTjMfD
"It's a date, then." Pip grinned, dashing away before I could say anything. As soon as the words sunk in I had to stop myself from yelling after him. A date? He couldn't be that foolish. Then again, I was the one who accepted...I shook the phrase from my head. Date or not, I needed to get some food in me now if I ever wanted to make it to tomorrow. I continued on my way, trying to decide on what I'd have for dinner instead. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7WysHDkY7

A-A new chapter? Of a story I haven't updated in a while?! Without warning?! Yeah, actually. I have good plans for this story as well as the others I've been working on, and I figured now would be a good time to update it. Why? I dunno, ask the author. ...wait. Er, anyway, I don't think I'll be updating this story that much in the near future, but I haven't forgotten about Riley and the gang. So here's an unexpected update for you all. Y'all.
