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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QCoHvt2EE
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz1f3RVajE
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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2aq59oVRo
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4lK1t5Vt1
"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?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrW1I47chj
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFKhbhXSGy
"U-Uh..." I backed against the wall. "N-No, it's just...I c-can't say..."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5tWrF0sn0
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShhUdVLFna
"You can't say? Come on, enough bull!"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TNEVFYVWr
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxJ6z0tXEc
"I really can't...I'm sorry."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEvAr3Ipn0
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6j8UxqCqP
"Tell me!" She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly pulled off my glove. "Hey!" I exclaimed.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nrt0J2UCt
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ76mTwFqfl
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYivy5hEhA3
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHE2sgScNT
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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qcm0XUuUF
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBSfiJLOAv
"I need to tell you something." I had said.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD0tnykJIL
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f0yps7dw6
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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ804AL5Mj6
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTN4PDoPNJ
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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAzu4CHXZa
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77fHQvnWQ7
"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."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N02vMXLOQ
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx5Wt395ry
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. For a second I thought I slept in again. What day is it again?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA1oD23lMX
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQMt7YMOCE
"Monday."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRhK8Rubu5
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7pPvK2dtS
She made a face.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Leq1lGEyX

"Why do you call it that?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAVVcJDMtP
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrs0k1jY1M
"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?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7hjUP03vZ
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg4XRj8KKs
"Law." I glanced over at my textbook, a whopping seven hundred pounds to throw around.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOprTnvPRq
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lIe6kASSM
"Oh, yeah. How is law anyway? I've been considering switching." 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTx4PtQDzh

"It's not you, I'll say that much." I smiled. "You really don't have a plan, do you?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21b34Iyrnw
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyjVTSjGwX
Ellie glanced to the side. "Maybe. What about you, Miss Lawyer?" 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AwRuPXNAo
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Kq6w1qwb
I giggled. "Well, it's precisely that. You already know I'm going to be a lawyer. Why ask again?" 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupvL46aOox
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOXErDpHyX

718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZcKuswwHb
"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. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbvyg9XiA8

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. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhqHJ8pxks
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjQP7z487a
"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. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQS6Kew7zz
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYjvUaVcBd
"Pip," I said. "What are you doing here?" 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzNcKJzTbz
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwKnAaA3GL
"Same as you. I'm here to learn." 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WYLcUBwHO
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdfOgXkpfA
I stifled a laugh, returning to unzipping my bag and booting up my laptop. "Really? You, of all people?" 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXWAMF9V5l

"Would you believe me if I told you I'm getting a Bachelor of Arts?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeWDqPCD3s
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz1X2OFxhq
"Somewhat. I've never seen you here before, though. Explain that." 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g7GbRLxF5
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjDLUXJPLN
"I always sit in the back corner. Plus, I'm not always this early." He chuckled softly. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NZ2WuHzVT
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3jO0Mf617
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure about that story. It's a little suspicious. I'll choose to believe you for now, though." 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawxQuyxgis
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLN0w4iD03
"I'm honoured." He leaned back in his chair. I glanced at the front to see the teacher about to start his lesson. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ9Z3HaTn4
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGESKLrLvi
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscA3uwAcCB
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JAJPdRGiu
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmyioKiBOo
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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf49c2iygf
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXvFuOHokL
"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. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmlmJKDPxE
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLuX9EwH7k
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. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCuLBhBMkO
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpevJa4CLiD
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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRPrOXR5dD

I hummed along with it for a second, pressing the talk button and pressing the cool metal against my ear.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iE5m6lt5i
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNdhUiGXoI
"Hello?" I said.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCH9smj67I

"What's up, Marcus?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDrMXQbsgA
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkIPBbOc6m
"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."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISzGp4TMsY
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWSSAh4kGU
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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRKmzJIQcN
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlgPN9Ved4
"Detention Center. You remember where that one is, right?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfeY85Bo1B

718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62nSMzLiGk
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx8bJJTbHw
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXgc6CCrK9
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hkXr69GIY
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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmonIKlCe0R
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcwh9NmEvj
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULR0I9MBmF
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4gYeTimqL
"Sounds simple enough. Can I talk to him?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxbyKgU575
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeezXRprJF
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd1uy5bEWr
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJz0Go0QZu
"Hello," I began.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQbRh07xIP
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGtAMt1fYm
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebspRxwUnQ
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ldpaVbTtu
"So you're William Foreson?" I inquired, pulling out a notebook and pen. He seemed to take on an even more ghastly look.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6YnNhsmQx
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOK45AViPN
"You're not one of those reporters, are you?" His voice sounded defeated.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL8ZEvoffP
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH8D6PY3j9
"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."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8LWPs7Igq
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy4iGyUAl7
"A becoming lawyer?" William questioned.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHkFzRipCk
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK0huYq9mh
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZiXribjJr
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg6CLYxbBm
"So, I understand that you have recently experienced a great tragedy, William." I decided to start right into it, but not too harshly.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgMTDjTf1b
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lrWdVHfta
"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."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9qEreAHmg
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7PNyNH5eE
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QGzjhBnSd

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. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8tD9H8KmO
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmhz6iS8zg
"Where to, Riley?" I almost shouted, but quickly composed myself. "Oops, made ya jump." Pip bounced beside me, an eager smile playing his lips.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPF86YruAf
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YrmqJbCx9
"What do you want?" I sighed.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MjNdRF38K
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx11bA2hfJ
"I'm just tagging along. Where to?" he asked again.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UY4H2V4lJ
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV2WRtq2vV
"I'm going to get something to eat." I wasn't quite sure why I told him the truth.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zxwZCL6Vc
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvnxAb7FV2
"Two nights in a row? You're going to be broke, and probably gain some weight while you're at it." 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd8NuEhVjA
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qbwHf0oRX
"Shut up!" I shot him a look. He seemed more pleased than anything.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EPrtUuK1C
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL8yS5zFIA
"But, I came here to ask you something." He stopped walking. So did I.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53VdHzvu8v
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rhJ4BB41G
"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.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEOaO84B7L
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmwjv8Xkg8
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me? I'll supply the food." He had a playful smile across his lips.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8fpDnGnek
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwEQYY7UwJ
"A picnic?" I questioned. "Surely people don't go on picnics anymore in this day and age."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G7H9XuVqU
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOl5tRGT3f
"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."718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaUWHgvylO
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBUbzW7JZv
"N-No, that's not it." I pondered the thought for a moment. "A picnic, then? Sure, I have nothing to lose. When?"718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wn7zgaI2t
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMw2LqCv4T

718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHhqA2ZbSy
"Okay." I smiled, opening my mouth to say goodbye.718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tw63oCQ36
718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREENUjfgYk
"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. 718Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUvnvZgRMR

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.
