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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUBQLmxjsl
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm3oeRGFTQ
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6hiSfm8Ro
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdwnJZTcK6
"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?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC3zsThbxU
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDypN1tlEp
"U-Uh..." I backed against the wall. "N-No, it's just...I c-can't say..."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtI7U6oVq2
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SwVteWN6d
"You can't say? Come on, enough bull!"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhwmavJnIe
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsocIlkflKX
"I really can't...I'm sorry."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqhGsBpCJI
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoTzIF9zQU
"Tell me!" She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly pulled off my glove. "Hey!" I exclaimed.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnSczCS1nq
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Osuz9kahz
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVIPNxl7Hr
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N4iqDNUsU
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlwlnXwL0L
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq6VxCqR1J
"I need to tell you something." I had said.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNpq4kmU3i
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWRU46bOzi
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B66sLe9Fj
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXKk6ayUQO
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ08BRaaJwg
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHYAhbz1WI
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM8euZ6SRV
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvV3tooS4x
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. For a second I thought I slept in again. What day is it again?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XV0IIhvZx
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTKQCq3Hsg
"Monday."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLE7S9keQX
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9GyCRxzRU
She made a face.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULTuocro5g

"Why do you call it that?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ZHjEkBz2
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLnzY669Sv
"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?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7lqJjmcph
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IxGiWymhF
"Law." I glanced over at my textbook, a whopping seven hundred pounds to throw around.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFU5sePZEu
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpY8M7ETbs
"Oh, yeah. How is law anyway? I've been considering switching." 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEQC85xIHU

763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCTjjUIIQO
Ellie glanced to the side. "Maybe. What about you, Miss Lawyer?" 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUSBku7qoO
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv7CtGfFk4
I giggled. "Well, it's precisely that. You already know I'm going to be a lawyer. Why ask again?" 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxhMzn9oIS
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlRJquEMqD

763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIhnoJ6G6V
"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. 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FpdNfehdL

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. 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxcDT797yS
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrl75wcWUh
"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. 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBQsnmNlA8
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXflT4XvJz
"Pip," I said. "What are you doing here?" 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHruK61QdY
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr6y3X7ZMF
"Same as you. I'm here to learn." 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfMYksB0eg
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBRWiHAuOY
I stifled a laugh, returning to unzipping my bag and booting up my laptop. "Really? You, of all people?" 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKljRWLY7Y
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNuYhlMT20
"Would you believe me if I told you I'm getting a Bachelor of Arts?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLgVKvAfhH
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtSsOaqic7
"Somewhat. I've never seen you here before, though. Explain that." 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FGzOdWSfM
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hwVFdNrWR
"I always sit in the back corner. Plus, I'm not always this early." He chuckled softly. 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTPQgraaBS
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfcVBTdIGS
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure about that story. It's a little suspicious. I'll choose to believe you for now, though." 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjjb9G6DEg
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8X9xNRBHM
"I'm honoured." He leaned back in his chair. I glanced at the front to see the teacher about to start his lesson. 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbATgblTWQP
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwCLD7FiPS
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kebgomby7
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyhiLSUjwf
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyBX2C49Tl
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk5VVFCwSm
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaaIADTotA
"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. 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9DhwP5hlU
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnHMDNsKZO
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. 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLwcKBfCDT
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq6dodraVb
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcdDgD0eTv

I hummed along with it for a second, pressing the talk button and pressing the cool metal against my ear.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTGmYt4waE
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL2gUF53Ee
"Hello?" I said.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVmMRCKsug

"What's up, Marcus?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyasd4d9i4
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVDyCOkcms
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIMiL2HplI
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9k6qNoO0B
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjnf9DHWW6
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mteUOjPTq
"Detention Center. You remember where that one is, right?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j5kLhI5cO
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNFlDLSko5
"'Course. I'll be there asap. Guess I'll see you around, then."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlV0aBuec1
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWxxbGcENn
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBahHw6XA3
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiONpTf4g8G
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8yStbI5cH
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YV0NUffXp
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiAWFE8bWp
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4ARLMr5aQ
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DscZtHdrN
"Sounds simple enough. Can I talk to him?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYiEhZNAE0
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNpSeaMeCh
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdZTtPvkWR
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1eGgH0ag1
"Hello," I began.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53TkVBIWWQ
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2QCYu7poa
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh8Ly7gsEU
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR0JyuqRK2
"So you're William Foreson?" I inquired, pulling out a notebook and pen. He seemed to take on an even more ghastly look.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUUxWUIFUu
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCYzInOerd
"You're not one of those reporters, are you?" His voice sounded defeated.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gxrUCv1Qj
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKRJtEPGel
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM65MJgKYj
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSETVBp7r0l
"A becoming lawyer?" William questioned.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKNhQscc5N
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotHKEQzjoW
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fxa17h8gJ
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq1pVBI54L
"So, I understand that you have recently experienced a great tragedy, William." I decided to start right into it, but not too harshly.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkOmDNKJnZ
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOoGa2OB1y
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRZDkEIC8M
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWuBeNHkA2
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0tcBLWWPj

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. 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId3nzl3UIF
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV5zpUd3Kk
"Where to, Riley?" I almost shouted, but quickly composed myself. "Oops, made ya jump." Pip bounced beside me, an eager smile playing his lips.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpuEu4LwsS
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUmqqX3u1F
"What do you want?" I sighed.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aua8AnCgJ
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39F2qI9v3q
"I'm just tagging along. Where to?" he asked again.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzgukzAW9S
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNoAdZt2qe
"I'm going to get something to eat." I wasn't quite sure why I told him the truth.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K2FBpgVG1
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfTLBUQ70v

763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduBpJ69HIq
"Shut up!" I shot him a look. He seemed more pleased than anything.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKp3uENGQW
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYHQ7aHCAK
"But, I came here to ask you something." He stopped walking. So did I.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6T1NaDLI4
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDLJxY7ZBI
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtggp5vP5E
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3meYYpisa
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me? I'll supply the food." He had a playful smile across his lips.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarsygtiVHA
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OZRcIYDdd
"A picnic?" I questioned. "Surely people don't go on picnics anymore in this day and age."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEyBw71G0O
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbhsG3kd0I
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vh8cxLMYh
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yGAqVWYqR
"N-No, that's not it." I pondered the thought for a moment. "A picnic, then? Sure, I have nothing to lose. When?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxICi6Jz9a
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmG5V3xt9H
"Tomorrow at noonish. I'll meet you on top of the hill behind the science building, okay?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x4CiNhDyV
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNr55WZoFf
"Okay." I smiled, opening my mouth to say goodbye.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdIAax6wHH
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzs0buehIY
"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. 763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4gvCO4bD1

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.
