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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bRL7xtN7A
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMAabg2zFo
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATKVkRuNsg
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyGukK7Jo3
"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?"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4HBMyRBGO
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0u3S7dHwW
"U-Uh..." I backed against the wall. "N-No, it's just...I c-can't say..."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz5j7amUT0
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83fw3HDlWM
"You can't say? Come on, enough bull!"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMnhPnOGFT
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrNS5sVFkN
"I really can't...I'm sorry."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LG4VFzJ7V
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5NU5f4FA8
"Tell me!" She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly pulled off my glove. "Hey!" I exclaimed.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMl8xC2VQ3
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0559AKTIE3
"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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0et1IuYfw
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAj9jLPZob
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhPiMogYOk
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhcOwMNDdf
"I need to tell you something." I had said.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21jZSVB8so
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DbJP09XGH
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01NbKGbe8t
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyBup9sCaP
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkfwUh1pvq
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxai6WSj6kR
"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."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3YStOR3vu
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvQ0NrL6cl
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. For a second I thought I slept in again. What day is it again?"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d7YZkKKn1
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOnjPvMzsd
"Monday."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFET01jjXNP

784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfKbXtaYm0
"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?"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVdgKmNbgD
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzzwalDl5K
"Law." I glanced over at my textbook, a whopping seven hundred pounds to throw around.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavI1ytc9jB

784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAi913FKR3
Ellie glanced to the side. "Maybe. What about you, Miss Lawyer?" 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGukWm0zZC
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hOtW5UxHZ
I giggled. "Well, it's precisely that. You already know I'm going to be a lawyer. Why ask again?" 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0994LGfZx

"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. 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovYhj377bV

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. 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xh4eJjapo
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeruM6NVkWS
"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. 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2F9C7DFFT
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1KqO7mkGa
"Pip," I said. "What are you doing here?" 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPmvNfV3zK
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGJV5BWWw8
"Same as you. I'm here to learn." 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUWAd2shpg
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX00zYzlaB

"I always sit in the back corner. Plus, I'm not always this early." He chuckled softly. 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQfzscWleE
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOaxABaPwR
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure about that story. It's a little suspicious. I'll choose to believe you for now, though." 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRRFxZZR21
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0PIDODttJ
"I'm honoured." He leaned back in his chair. I glanced at the front to see the teacher about to start his lesson. 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgVjd31iXS
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBttwSFcZx
"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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN5iYLim1U
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yAvl0EO82
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2QzkI1e6r
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmAA7ajR6S
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr2pWP2tUF
"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. 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbupCURtkKQ
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG1YqqOKIi
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. 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mBTtKZ3ez
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZeHeGOUBj
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOnptABA4b

784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcV9ESkS21
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCFHIJOSIt
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TyNLUatcc

"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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLru0L1fwBF
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuawJCvwwEw
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUHVrEBS56
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBNgKb5gYE
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWJ6opzhRh
"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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI4jujSxLY
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv7KZx8Gyb
"Sounds simple enough. Can I talk to him?"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NGS0eVeZt
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0cZeWmIaA
"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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjwaQcuV0O
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQsbJDruDk
"Hello," I began.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjyLcwhrP3
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsgaAoiPbX
"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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Swk1QD2Sq
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxSzu3HXQO
"So you're William Foreson?" I inquired, pulling out a notebook and pen. He seemed to take on an even more ghastly look.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj8jZ8Cgnt
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZcgoD9tMS
"You're not one of those reporters, are you?" His voice sounded defeated.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXa7TGFSok
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mc5kOfvuE
"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."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEBpRNmOeS
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIO4LhpGAR
"A becoming lawyer?" William questioned.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVTDsFTRhJ
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44U5tykUPJ
"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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOTIM1UQZ0
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxXhs4Jdpy
"So, I understand that you have recently experienced a great tragedy, William." I decided to start right into it, but not too harshly.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7xeqFv8O2
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBbzNpOylP
"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."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCzbVH96DM
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw93f7VVoKD
"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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvmVzRowoF

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. 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd4uJySnvI
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBViqdVYE0
"Where to, Riley?" I almost shouted, but quickly composed myself. "Oops, made ya jump." Pip bounced beside me, an eager smile playing his lips.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqOEA3hhhu
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMtd8plvqo
"What do you want?" I sighed.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLbacvvSpk
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5UDLphQ8Q
"I'm just tagging along. Where to?" he asked again.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrff6JHDAn
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nrLi0A4dS
"I'm going to get something to eat." I wasn't quite sure why I told him the truth.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbRusVhsHI

"Shut up!" I shot him a look. He seemed more pleased than anything.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvODAfHl9a
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAYFbh90rS
"But, I came here to ask you something." He stopped walking. So did I.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqY81dlWpa
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHdk7oYg2A
"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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdieiIeuiWV
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Dz3R7N7D
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me? I'll supply the food." He had a playful smile across his lips.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0YB6HYOl6
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5T0pyReM5
"A picnic?" I questioned. "Surely people don't go on picnics anymore in this day and age."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BbmLvnnZ8
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRcEXGSxO0
"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."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvjhiozjAK
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp9D9QKQC0

"Okay." I smiled, opening my mouth to say goodbye.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoV2oT8d8l
784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KH4d4aFS6
"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. 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUJk7dV57S

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.
