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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8cMh0p2YV
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSmhhEQlqI
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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYXeSvczDs
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nB5F1yAvT
"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?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0h5wF5d8s
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJVExYRUrO
"U-Uh..." I backed against the wall. "N-No, it's just...I c-can't say..."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakvej1aK4Q
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uDVBJ3OtS
"You can't say? Come on, enough bull!"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRzWISXzpT
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oiSrV1IOi
"I really can't...I'm sorry."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJenkPJFqHZ
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZF4Sn7CqT
"Tell me!" She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly pulled off my glove. "Hey!" I exclaimed.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUuz6XvKRB
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi4irKZ8tg
"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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dBgtwx02O
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBrItiEuJY
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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wdSLyVcxs
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk16Vuvp4rI
"I need to tell you something." I had said.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E51OGo4Q4
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v3wU2OVXj
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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSX0od5qsi
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVULfjRInXa
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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEDn90QvSz
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7sObCKiPU
"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."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyEI0IKozW
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8CBW5DzIZ
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. For a second I thought I slept in again. What day is it again?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpmX6eMcOV
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6BejKg0He
"Monday."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsg3LieEgx
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykgTOUqDGb
She made a face.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZvw2HLHfy

"Why do you call it that?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhYskf8Eiq
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwmggoDDTs
"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?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtou08M2Xn
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWjsb3kfY6
"Law." I glanced over at my textbook, a whopping seven hundred pounds to throw around.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqoGWjuSiB

766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs6zfgZy1o
Ellie glanced to the side. "Maybe. What about you, Miss Lawyer?" 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8clKg53CB
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v6vfNyZMf
I giggled. "Well, it's precisely that. You already know I'm going to be a lawyer. Why ask again?" 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsaRl9iTmK

766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4blzp3u29
"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. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJQse4aaOm

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. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uR9ShRKhg
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFoQXdxp9c
"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. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnpo9uQ51a
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ryDLiecJ
"Pip," I said. "What are you doing here?" 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fKEW4cKDa
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s4CjsvXgB
"Same as you. I'm here to learn." 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIaM6f9aci
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilH1RAGT6K
I stifled a laugh, returning to unzipping my bag and booting up my laptop. "Really? You, of all people?" 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl9L2U4w3N

766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ271kqv8X1G
"I always sit in the back corner. Plus, I'm not always this early." He chuckled softly. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc7qWh0cSx
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhkw1EZpVG
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure about that story. It's a little suspicious. I'll choose to believe you for now, though." 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkK0em4TAc
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxsVGKvK4v
"I'm honoured." He leaned back in his chair. I glanced at the front to see the teacher about to start his lesson. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX7hL7sQaO
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1BcKQ90Lm
"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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovK02kE9Q5
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxCZfQlMMT
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArk5S6D8cq
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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAapG9UJMe8
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFdtgI5zMO
"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. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBv7xw0c2x
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKDpDpCi3H
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. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxQpuCCS5k
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkkRDmLpFR
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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILR4dTNNjZ

766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe6LdaLiv2
"Hello?" I said.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIgDi2f5zS

"What's up, Marcus?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVbMKW2wGM

766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqG5pySk6v
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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe7NfNVVKq
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY2lSZ1Psr
"Detention Center. You remember where that one is, right?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgWdv0u5kx

"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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr9RkrMQIu
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitVY21pr3Y
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHal175Ofbn
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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n4SPUf5ph
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2fExbNn59
"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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FrhDRH8rO
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkb2QJ7j8D
"Sounds simple enough. Can I talk to him?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1xTg11HM6
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ewUM9gaSz
"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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6fiIuR8Rb
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGnSPs5pl9
"Hello," I began.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMYhwy0zoh
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVOHnpp2n6
"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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiha7HXwlxe
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi5sgHNpim
"So you're William Foreson?" I inquired, pulling out a notebook and pen. He seemed to take on an even more ghastly look.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIoqWA337t
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v73bcQzTc
"You're not one of those reporters, are you?" His voice sounded defeated.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ld1O4vDFk
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunASsC4pjS
"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."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqqvtRIZ2X
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z7qPGUIzm
"A becoming lawyer?" William questioned.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ6CqJdHfS
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVkwcqOBkN
"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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rkJ5ZmFou
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0lClpxrZb
"So, I understand that you have recently experienced a great tragedy, William." I decided to start right into it, but not too harshly.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJXFEKCw9i
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZgd4gnGOx
"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."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb9L5Zny5l
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDju6Hn8hLJ
"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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmyDSL8qtd

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. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSJUXCFG6E
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs2eIMCypK
"Where to, Riley?" I almost shouted, but quickly composed myself. "Oops, made ya jump." Pip bounced beside me, an eager smile playing his lips.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7hKhSLjDk
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlVfZSmkTx
"What do you want?" I sighed.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NiFJARpcF
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOlEeZ1PEq
"I'm just tagging along. Where to?" he asked again.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap6m3gPAi1
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nv2LXkJoC
"I'm going to get something to eat." I wasn't quite sure why I told him the truth.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVxl9ia2zh
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeIpkQO5ft
"Two nights in a row? You're going to be broke, and probably gain some weight while you're at it." 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eIzUtv2xj
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQpPC66iKb
"Shut up!" I shot him a look. He seemed more pleased than anything.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFnCyY1OxS
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOehM66oESY
"But, I came here to ask you something." He stopped walking. So did I.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX98enYPUz
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguFCBJE5CZ
"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.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iSwlyDAZR
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvrQG6xH9t
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me? I'll supply the food." He had a playful smile across his lips.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1vaFZD7ld
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0qBgVx1Rw
"A picnic?" I questioned. "Surely people don't go on picnics anymore in this day and age."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFumF8E1cW
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGbhm3YngN
"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."766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX5ycUZMEj
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFzCv7qngB
"N-No, that's not it." I pondered the thought for a moment. "A picnic, then? Sure, I have nothing to lose. When?"766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTVDNmeDZe
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA07YnfIcRB

"Okay." I smiled, opening my mouth to say goodbye.766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPkoiAiUTw
766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfcibSnbgx
"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. 766Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGHG2nrFu5

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.
