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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hlzEqvSul
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvrhiIeuAU
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWU6s8euKt
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGDW20XCTe
"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?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRH1Q9x5vK
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c0DcY7aWD
"U-Uh..." I backed against the wall. "N-No, it's just...I c-can't say..."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58ao1peKfL
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDvPttgqP2
"You can't say? Come on, enough bull!"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKjZAmgSlp
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiWzaxFz9j
"I really can't...I'm sorry."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpudAqe9MFl
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkGyq89zW2
"Tell me!" She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly pulled off my glove. "Hey!" I exclaimed.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDr9h8Viqh
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3CxbPZFb5
"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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC5XMKLDBp
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQQ0EDL33p
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIudZ32FdJo
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1ijhx6IOt
"I need to tell you something." I had said.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyyralmcrB
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIN8FMAwyK
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp3MSLhYmw
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N7r2OlrWe
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0QaxTRiLe
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri7VyCArpu
"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."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwqPcRQdyy
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV4YKxiSMD
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. For a second I thought I slept in again. What day is it again?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOIzs9GUVm
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVO6T8aJhU
"Monday."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcksHpBbW0j
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSrcLjkS5F
She made a face.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn8QsvufXV
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjyiekaZXK

811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDe3dOofKO
"Why do you call it that?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCaEYyiojN
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGhpUoVdxL
"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?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yszzo99hj
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxcUDVjEdt
"Law." I glanced over at my textbook, a whopping seven hundred pounds to throw around.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsReDWsayxn
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF9hWxHd7a
"Oh, yeah. How is law anyway? I've been considering switching." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Au9qSAJeC

"It's not you, I'll say that much." I smiled. "You really don't have a plan, do you?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlUBw1bOjz
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtuqEifoFC
Ellie glanced to the side. "Maybe. What about you, Miss Lawyer?" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GaHCC3IBj
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVlgrLCDw2
I giggled. "Well, it's precisely that. You already know I'm going to be a lawyer. Why ask again?" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPmAaa6Fmj
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes9MtAIP4p

"Do you think I'd make it as a Designer?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFJE9tzI2v
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxIkqMChWt
"Like a fashion one?" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cjl4JqtlL

811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52KzZl7p7l
"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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE72ZZXFWb3

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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLHJTdE6OJ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UjRTadksg
"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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSAygVqCj4
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nuNLoofLZ
"Pip," I said. "What are you doing here?" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ58d3r6cAE
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gAtZpQRM2
"Same as you. I'm here to learn." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXTUulH4xD
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT5MgbvQNh
I stifled a laugh, returning to unzipping my bag and booting up my laptop. "Really? You, of all people?" 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK7fiTgZXx
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShqojI8Si2
"Would you believe me if I told you I'm getting a Bachelor of Arts?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoSPDwNUMu
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6qT8P46A0
"Somewhat. I've never seen you here before, though. Explain that." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoTbpcYR4I
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnFsOZ4Nph
"I always sit in the back corner. Plus, I'm not always this early." He chuckled softly. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa0kGdAtdC
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPIzUVRHkt
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure about that story. It's a little suspicious. I'll choose to believe you for now, though." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mKR461qkZ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuR66yR2NH
"I'm honoured." He leaned back in his chair. I glanced at the front to see the teacher about to start his lesson. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RHNoSkhMc
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum0HkzP58Y
"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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZBGxFs33Q
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQIFqjJZzc
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4RMky26GK
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw95i782kjx
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZmsFVhIGg
"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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j2oxD33x7
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnYjUU5QXn
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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rz6sY8iql
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf69Pa1Xn1
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3y4tskVbx

811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4bbiORoxz
I hummed along with it for a second, pressing the talk button and pressing the cool metal against my ear.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDvXzxJVRv
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupF0yByx2X
"Hello?" I said.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i4p9FaqbN
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUPFsGPCD1
"Riles," a man said. I recognized it as one of the people I knew from court.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLmvrt2m2Q
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV8aNMGzhF
"What's up, Marcus?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBG2OHzTUM
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VvKTvG8Ja
"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."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVEs84EipE
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyF9jejJha
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOAQztjPkB
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBQqb3naUX
"Detention Center. You remember where that one is, right?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSL1r0WozS
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCePqPFa1c
"'Course. I'll be there asap. Guess I'll see you around, then."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEL3a1CMCN
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN3vY9WMcp
"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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aH68swfmv
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkQKi4GZW6
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy43jq50KzB
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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL39gQf9Wz
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm2xMnk8RP
"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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnkykcmuEQ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37TV2foF5E
"Sounds simple enough. Can I talk to him?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3F0pYFeG0
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZikX4435N
"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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TMLRKxDsA
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWgjwTp0jk
"Hello," I began.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F4i7nhPHt
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xejUBu5bf
"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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuJNryEjMG
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uaiLNG6ol
"So you're William Foreson?" I inquired, pulling out a notebook and pen. He seemed to take on an even more ghastly look.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfa6puw5kQ
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpW6WfX36V
"You're not one of those reporters, are you?" His voice sounded defeated.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzTAqDmFfW
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteHvtUZVHJ
"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."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVmquWFgSM
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PO44rtOG8
"A becoming lawyer?" William questioned.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUR2ggOyLs
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGH8KvuhLJ
"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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICk8rw3bHP
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxpmBVDvos
"So, I understand that you have recently experienced a great tragedy, William." I decided to start right into it, but not too harshly.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zH8vZm3c0
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1kXI9PaI2
"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."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZB3CaHhGU
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnNhpRskPq
"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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCCwBGcZJt

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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCnSD1yKGS
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaPSrNf9Cn
"Where to, Riley?" I almost shouted, but quickly composed myself. "Oops, made ya jump." Pip bounced beside me, an eager smile playing his lips.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiP5lGJdZ3
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGturFHNI8
"What do you want?" I sighed.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UH6UMEMlm
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ijPqkWqk
"I'm just tagging along. Where to?" he asked again.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszYA08zYE5
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAFFW5cP5G
"I'm going to get something to eat." I wasn't quite sure why I told him the truth.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mjIKvWZ5U
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJHIPXLLnr
"Two nights in a row? You're going to be broke, and probably gain some weight while you're at it." 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLYyB56bpM
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWivq9Fo653
"Shut up!" I shot him a look. He seemed more pleased than anything.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJFi5sPX0d
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD5rFx0jpG
"But, I came here to ask you something." He stopped walking. So did I.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnvJbUxV8r
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oPlu65by8
"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.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGlPuP5Wub
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9m9yhWwFQ
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me? I'll supply the food." He had a playful smile across his lips.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4hpJrZseq
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHxVq0JeIJ
"A picnic?" I questioned. "Surely people don't go on picnics anymore in this day and age."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxbjLlKsGc
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAXEmmk2WF
"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."811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZFssOSvnd
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiucMPQWj3
"N-No, that's not it." I pondered the thought for a moment. "A picnic, then? Sure, I have nothing to lose. When?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcHnMqOOeO
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcNhTKmPuX
"Tomorrow at noonish. I'll meet you on top of the hill behind the science building, okay?"811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe707uKwl5e
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwk2Cuqf9x
"Okay." I smiled, opening my mouth to say goodbye.811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBbP49JaDi
811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm9BlgYQMi
"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. 811Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv2iLrdZBe

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.
