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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BD4lgahgU
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJfTCsNfYJ
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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkABNg9nkvH
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdWMJuTTlH
"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?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VlQy9karT
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t8igqn60I
"U-Uh..." I backed against the wall. "N-No, it's just...I c-can't say..."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtBWMmDZ1x
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZawzXIdkq
"You can't say? Come on, enough bull!"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYhDCyYxMu
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIs7kZiCOu
"I really can't...I'm sorry."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR8cUhCgbX
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qkRpnrdVy
"Tell me!" She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly pulled off my glove. "Hey!" I exclaimed.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoOql2JUUU
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1DahDtN3e
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUgaQhyGQR
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb2Y6pBfRn
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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6OHsGSyRK
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5LA91Ostq
"I need to tell you something." I had said.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OTTZAXBiI
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbKqNqtv97
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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO212xGbePf
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOw2XfEqYV
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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoohfepopl
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptERvSk6qH
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdQQcxYhz1
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPsGFnDwK3
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. For a second I thought I slept in again. What day is it again?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWXp46WURt
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYbOiZa08A
"Monday."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpv3gsH6kY
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKD97QgIyg

"Why do you call it that?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zqYwHPiR2
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbwF42FUSZ
"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?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GjWSaKerm
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNbB6bM8tr
"Law." I glanced over at my textbook, a whopping seven hundred pounds to throw around.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNRnJNdYTi

789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DmwdrJusA
Ellie glanced to the side. "Maybe. What about you, Miss Lawyer?" 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw0Xbcqzox
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3w4H8YARP
I giggled. "Well, it's precisely that. You already know I'm going to be a lawyer. Why ask again?" 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPyBpozLWJ

789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJNbZyS6ef
"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. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0A1niJqdu

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. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mj4Br9iow
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjAjnYSFtE
"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. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8v7ecdhVX
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfsJlj0aje
"Pip," I said. "What are you doing here?" 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey9S7cNgE1
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLTwZ56mUi
"Same as you. I'm here to learn." 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYizPHvVQJ
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG2ctKZSJ2
I stifled a laugh, returning to unzipping my bag and booting up my laptop. "Really? You, of all people?" 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNXQpf4r9M

789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7dmCA7Vfk
"I always sit in the back corner. Plus, I'm not always this early." He chuckled softly. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFppTCSdBD
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMYgTbtjiw
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure about that story. It's a little suspicious. I'll choose to believe you for now, though." 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUPTxskBOj
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp7CVmoJrj
"I'm honoured." He leaned back in his chair. I glanced at the front to see the teacher about to start his lesson. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE47GCWtIa
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lHlOIGYcs
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFk2Y7TfqD
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85VyHSmRi0
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMcSxgVrpZ
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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ4sqbpv1U
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFqHizq7kP
"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. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzykt6hOgWs
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1gHhi7ED3
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. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kgxyaraOZ
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6hporCBZL
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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWn74nf1L7

789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQuVy4ImQO
"Hello?" I said.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4UGTO2DbA

"What's up, Marcus?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH53oKEUNZN
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr0GnbTPVI
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr7uz2nzj8
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ957gEJG5mN
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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhpJ12FKl7
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa72PYRS4y
"Detention Center. You remember where that one is, right?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cuHnlaJE2
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlt89oJCNX

789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW41sm43Gu
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfTG7kEMZf
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8umnioMhK
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqdBO34Ny1
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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqGbg8DdBW
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIoUZOtCQG
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfeZRMYYdI
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsycMTfFXW9
"Sounds simple enough. Can I talk to him?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPaoT94bVc
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhTpyLgPyK
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQwpwxk7IY
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPinChN7o7
"Hello," I began.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hl6oHEE7H
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwvLoAbukF
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYMLtAMy9q
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrav5JDD5X
"So you're William Foreson?" I inquired, pulling out a notebook and pen. He seemed to take on an even more ghastly look.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrkdpPZ94d
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFuw9tJmDO
"You're not one of those reporters, are you?" His voice sounded defeated.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyucEwKcLI1
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9rLFMrspC
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9v7TsWjKI
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUMXyLOgUV
"A becoming lawyer?" William questioned.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsiaqfBBMR
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU5LGF3iss
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFansm2RzX
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TdLKBEh8n
"So, I understand that you have recently experienced a great tragedy, William." I decided to start right into it, but not too harshly.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRpVu7sTua
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nb1mJdVp2
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz03QEqVfrv
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrLMKyJfTz
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRgJ8oGyNu

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. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLYeOdx1qA
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7SXFILCOc
"Where to, Riley?" I almost shouted, but quickly composed myself. "Oops, made ya jump." Pip bounced beside me, an eager smile playing his lips.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u22nnUA4L
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELjv9FrBTK
"What do you want?" I sighed.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPuIZ1IzaV
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0S1U8P45D
"I'm just tagging along. Where to?" he asked again.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJUlnJp1Wo
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIFBwRgo9X
"I'm going to get something to eat." I wasn't quite sure why I told him the truth.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooNHlzEdBz

"Two nights in a row? You're going to be broke, and probably gain some weight while you're at it." 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHeDH5TRwW
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKX5j8Ym0V
"Shut up!" I shot him a look. He seemed more pleased than anything.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvC0bNGmwA
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpNvHO84zV
"But, I came here to ask you something." He stopped walking. So did I.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B4jLWKPvv
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVVdXtzIC3
"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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz4nuipwuQ
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTjiIiigEu
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me? I'll supply the food." He had a playful smile across his lips.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4G5zT0xH8
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGraUObQCJ
"A picnic?" I questioned. "Surely people don't go on picnics anymore in this day and age."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzb8wxPXBA
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4d0WAtVeS
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bsfLc76Wo
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58jzvGeyfF
"N-No, that's not it." I pondered the thought for a moment. "A picnic, then? Sure, I have nothing to lose. When?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQlHS2Ezd8
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThYw4mdjUD
"Tomorrow at noonish. I'll meet you on top of the hill behind the science building, okay?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulXNHa9aLw
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYlXPePm3B
"Okay." I smiled, opening my mouth to say goodbye.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHVLtrv0Cl
789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DFBbDfQhl
"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. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsshVz50D6R

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.
