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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOjVqT7yKT
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8orkk2c6mB
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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbukzCP2za
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DxtanG4oE
"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?"783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpa8qyPiLG
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuzKq4ixYi
"U-Uh..." I backed against the wall. "N-No, it's just...I c-can't say..."783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMhIqO4vpx
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT5GfsvH2r
"You can't say? Come on, enough bull!"783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gYs6cQeOc
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1fDIzWfUD
"I really can't...I'm sorry."783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMPBhduBVg
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v7i1TYtid
"Tell me!" She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly pulled off my glove. "Hey!" I exclaimed.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lzlzhkGVA
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Hcx0rlDw
"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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmxyXReLfI
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKHfu6phtV
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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4qWBRXaTx
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBjD5D7oJ0
"I need to tell you something." I had said.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdg5TNj03W
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzsGWoFlQg
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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2UPZ4Vb8n
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1EN9vtC0e
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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMciikszmeZ
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwGphVhtqg
"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."783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvXusQ1ceq
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1fD6WJVRm
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. For a second I thought I slept in again. What day is it again?"783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf8U6UfOTl
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPABMV1OyMu
"Monday."783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST6VO5wAWf
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVczygdodvi
She made a face.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVowspAjdg

"Why do you call it that?"783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KFCIX5NUq
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBH8lNJhwa
"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?"783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs2MdqbxIy
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVF9MDCfEW
"Law." I glanced over at my textbook, a whopping seven hundred pounds to throw around.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S0JBcGpkI
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxnrXAI6p9
"Oh, yeah. How is law anyway? I've been considering switching." 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1SqGTtnod

783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWIohbeR1F
Ellie glanced to the side. "Maybe. What about you, Miss Lawyer?" 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79zAtcuFxQ
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WmNhPOsPN
I giggled. "Well, it's precisely that. You already know I'm going to be a lawyer. Why ask again?" 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtENNbLh8K8
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrks0jaRvf

783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwlClMUqo9
"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. 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPmxC1AnBg

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. 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcfG1jEJNh
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngYftx4PoV
"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. 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tdb3n9sxG
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2CHMHiwrx
"Pip," I said. "What are you doing here?" 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z2eXQgqW7
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt7ga6UdER
"Same as you. I'm here to learn." 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhUUqktHO6
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvSE0bGMRK
I stifled a laugh, returning to unzipping my bag and booting up my laptop. "Really? You, of all people?" 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfcTjfoGbh
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnW5OlFep5
"Would you believe me if I told you I'm getting a Bachelor of Arts?"783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFBdORn3Gk
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Snq7h7up
"Somewhat. I've never seen you here before, though. Explain that." 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhVQKhmGLX
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuUh9XPg02
"I always sit in the back corner. Plus, I'm not always this early." He chuckled softly. 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp40TdeMsHR
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1DbVQUwbp
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure about that story. It's a little suspicious. I'll choose to believe you for now, though." 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fVpoNsYcT
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy5D1l6BU0
"I'm honoured." He leaned back in his chair. I glanced at the front to see the teacher about to start his lesson. 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IfBbSNzsV
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidHDo36zKM
"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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZKZlwRTX6
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMtLTJQhSa
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TxZq3zCVi
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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2yyDkDXGi
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEASWfZvkq
"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. 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoM6zhirwF
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDOuSCfXTe
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. 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwhgFtqaDc
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qoopEPFMZ
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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE5AAxwECG

783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2P87WZQv7
"Hello?" I said.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR77yG3p7f

"What's up, Marcus?"783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrU3dqlVsp
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBjelACaPm
"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."783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fDLVbrfsG
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtNbB7kNP6
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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvSqcuE6lC
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjqoqwYSMe
"Detention Center. You remember where that one is, right?"783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyO82OOEXS
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCATz4xyyDv
"'Course. I'll be there asap. Guess I'll see you around, then."783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUdCsHhNqn
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcOa3aHZRE
"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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtB7pdZvUH
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe0hIByPrx
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a1QFSojJP
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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX6lo9Jygo
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW5amYbOiN
"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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8DkbMr58M
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar3ghYJOCx
"Sounds simple enough. Can I talk to him?"783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkjBDrMLjH
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e69HVJA39
"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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBZYimge9Z
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ki9Vaq6F3
"Hello," I began.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzB46ukGKL
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsBiib0hO7
"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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2nK3eveXj
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycg71haXXU
"So you're William Foreson?" I inquired, pulling out a notebook and pen. He seemed to take on an even more ghastly look.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZXSAcIi7K
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMP9aZICJ9
"You're not one of those reporters, are you?" His voice sounded defeated.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4zk0emaeS
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp2HWgKPrM
"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."783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33xjaUXVMM
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMBCV2BFfQ
"A becoming lawyer?" William questioned.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O2ujnqxfE
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb2eVctHSn
"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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy25EDZifR5
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYN78BjZqW
"So, I understand that you have recently experienced a great tragedy, William." I decided to start right into it, but not too harshly.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHGwGY4rAo
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUl9mH2AbX
"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."783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ApsW2Ezd5
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqY1CVdPka
"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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3pjve9kck

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. 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTSGeA9BiL
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4or9Aeqsi
"Where to, Riley?" I almost shouted, but quickly composed myself. "Oops, made ya jump." Pip bounced beside me, an eager smile playing his lips.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZHbIZmi25
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe3AmFSvOb
"What do you want?" I sighed.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8L0mE2vAE
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9N7N22XhL
"I'm just tagging along. Where to?" he asked again.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYPjPlhqxr
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOgkf3TnZo
"I'm going to get something to eat." I wasn't quite sure why I told him the truth.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48VnuZ24A7

783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNkohZDcUw
"Shut up!" I shot him a look. He seemed more pleased than anything.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCARi9WRzKe
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DsurXd7aN
"But, I came here to ask you something." He stopped walking. So did I.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb431VGwZk
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQt1rScG8c
"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.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCXfKm7vQ7
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsBq1w6yzA
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me? I'll supply the food." He had a playful smile across his lips.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdzqSPds7Z
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1keoRj0JTz
"A picnic?" I questioned. "Surely people don't go on picnics anymore in this day and age."783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF7TkeQkKV
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU7rMmKYeZ
"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."783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAFXlnzEln
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHJBZNfH8q
"N-No, that's not it." I pondered the thought for a moment. "A picnic, then? Sure, I have nothing to lose. When?"783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yEuPxA3bQ
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAJmgUgWIQ
"Tomorrow at noonish. I'll meet you on top of the hill behind the science building, okay?"783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH9QhwGulM
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcWQUVyX6Q
"Okay." I smiled, opening my mouth to say goodbye.783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa63ZBiNM9i
783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdJ9MzUIzX
"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. 783Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMXigQY1zg

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.
