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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTGh6xDuu9
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdGJIlHcgW
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G6Lxco3fW
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtiP5h9cah
"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?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiLiFTBwGw
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPyeuvlYsk
"U-Uh..." I backed against the wall. "N-No, it's just...I c-can't say..."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSjPH95dgp
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj2DebXOZT
"You can't say? Come on, enough bull!"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuszjPQPZR

"I really can't...I'm sorry."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjjjj1FmF0
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mSF2W6gmn
"Tell me!" She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly pulled off my glove. "Hey!" I exclaimed.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxnUJGA7VY
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vv2cSpdrt
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY9ADqEpPe
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9g80xNICQ
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZWtkx4i50
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4uLXfdSaZ
"I need to tell you something." I had said.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUSYu8kRPJ
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMMEkVtwtw
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFY1yoMkJ5
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsZSRsEQgH
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnyirgaWAE
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KMfalw4qJ
"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."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3r7Q44H6r
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT6QeSlvx8
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. For a second I thought I slept in again. What day is it again?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdbTbwgxOc
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuPTe0F3CL
"Monday."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUGpq7hTVa
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvItrnmo9aQ

785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnJgQylEoO
"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?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFr3tDddVP
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvL57r6dxM
"Law." I glanced over at my textbook, a whopping seven hundred pounds to throw around.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEe8qoMYf9

Ellie glanced to the side. "Maybe. What about you, Miss Lawyer?" 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4vyhFGzjG
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQO9ONLG53
I giggled. "Well, it's precisely that. You already know I'm going to be a lawyer. Why ask again?" 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuitCPKX1wz

"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. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd8W9VIu6w

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. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYHkwshXHg
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJPIWk8qMt
"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. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6OFNM9LsO
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TkSFIjbC9
"Pip," I said. "What are you doing here?" 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz1PDWObMI
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ0Sm5XEdO
"Same as you. I'm here to learn." 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5J8rsgNUa
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMncd0ES3b
I stifled a laugh, returning to unzipping my bag and booting up my laptop. "Really? You, of all people?" 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxBVJLw8z7

785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYQDoyKODO
"I always sit in the back corner. Plus, I'm not always this early." He chuckled softly. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWpPRazzOu
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8VbOtd2AE
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure about that story. It's a little suspicious. I'll choose to believe you for now, though." 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50FEFpakY7
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KUdvQnE1H
"I'm honoured." He leaned back in his chair. I glanced at the front to see the teacher about to start his lesson. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0XligX8ju
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIilm417aBB
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2GaS2Ps4N
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hbH6Hwmc6
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5obNO7f9qe
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjRSK4NBAD
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B11lOJ5nC
"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. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazU06gI5w8
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xQeDsCpue
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. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaCvOiSw9L
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjJ4DkjwZW
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGqsriruWm

"Hello?" I said.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XgU0QjxtT

785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgIYvE8qmh
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdg98ApcnX
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEGio7wlcB
"Detention Center. You remember where that one is, right?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqrJFK66r1

"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vTpKWLT5o
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcOi0MbnbF
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrTiez9UxS
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrH7r3d5XD
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRYhxKV7k5
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlOJrW1WaT
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKsQIoG2jr
"Sounds simple enough. Can I talk to him?"785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpN5JY0CaN
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbVIWSQ1pY
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgL9GQIQpQ
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn1bFrR5uT
"Hello," I began.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ121iZj5mfY
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOD0i7MwmR
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hcUnEty2i
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEdrzmRU8J
"So you're William Foreson?" I inquired, pulling out a notebook and pen. He seemed to take on an even more ghastly look.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDNVcaNTeM
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83yYlI1MtT
"You're not one of those reporters, are you?" His voice sounded defeated.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskZD4VhBu1
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqlnhYUrp8
"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."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivP7zYtavJ
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0shTnSde6C
"A becoming lawyer?" William questioned.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13uS3UVON0
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquRgHXv3CA
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhYvJvWHLI
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiESlAntz7G
"So, I understand that you have recently experienced a great tragedy, William." I decided to start right into it, but not too harshly.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWEsvlCip7
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3nn2t10Sy
"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."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK9IOMIn5Q
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM03Ws9fJaQ
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOMGQPN1TJ

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. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7p5QAAhzh
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgbTqWxBox
"Where to, Riley?" I almost shouted, but quickly composed myself. "Oops, made ya jump." Pip bounced beside me, an eager smile playing his lips.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn5VEJj55y
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM23MGrTKbu
"What do you want?" I sighed.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kETbdazPq
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FpfFvXKwn
"I'm just tagging along. Where to?" he asked again.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1EbSgxZA4
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4NgIIV46g
"I'm going to get something to eat." I wasn't quite sure why I told him the truth.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvu9uXLEx8

785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPIqlJwFV2
"Shut up!" I shot him a look. He seemed more pleased than anything.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsAiCg9FM8
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBQK3fSj7k
"But, I came here to ask you something." He stopped walking. So did I.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKHTamQugc
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S4wsSzQT9
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0EhLjDssC
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R7z4XYEjQ
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me? I'll supply the food." He had a playful smile across his lips.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcceNjHew0
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB5ZIs4SQ1
"A picnic?" I questioned. "Surely people don't go on picnics anymore in this day and age."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcm5ra9uTi
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWdkQGDx67
"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."785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPvgzdjKAj
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYm2Q1IBwn

"Okay." I smiled, opening my mouth to say goodbye.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrCXxP9Dz8
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l9RgcBKOX
"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. 785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsmTHTgBQL

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.
