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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0D1Xa3fa2
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM9Mx2XDyJ
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCiVzRGUOE
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFLGPHCvkP
"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?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS57r9Eh2T
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vm4sy4q1C
"U-Uh..." I backed against the wall. "N-No, it's just...I c-can't say..."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aBGvLteIL
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGJ5w8MwLQ
"You can't say? Come on, enough bull!"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpHwBw70s5
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbJATDQldK
"I really can't...I'm sorry."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fFza5Ynye
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkI8H60H2z
"Tell me!" She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly pulled off my glove. "Hey!" I exclaimed.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dxlguQAlx
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgMNQvLVxd
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7UOng4eay
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiwLr0cHwY
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGLZPb12TJ
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4ftvfOa4r
"I need to tell you something." I had said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4HYiNPSkt
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L35PTtnDu
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGrTLPzzGh
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH8jMrBP7e
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRwIGyeYd6
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCwIOfghht
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQH33ISObo
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB8wdSvpPn
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. For a second I thought I slept in again. What day is it again?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXpSaDDSru
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr31gqk28t5
"Monday."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWCltiSBFr
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7f9983Cyg
She made a face.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6PD9rxjdT
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkIOHFyRNm
"I have English first thing? My schedule is bogus."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLv8VamiSJ

721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBBrs07ym8
"Why do you call it that?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKmDAljn3C
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xVscUEZLU
"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?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ298zMa3nkz
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJnUatqfeg
"Law." I glanced over at my textbook, a whopping seven hundred pounds to throw around.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8evxZ8Nemb
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHfpqfmVuA
"Oh, yeah. How is law anyway? I've been considering switching." 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttReyxnDQM
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBrgaxDSGo
"It's not you, I'll say that much." I smiled. "You really don't have a plan, do you?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML4WesN5xL
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KniiGPHa1
Ellie glanced to the side. "Maybe. What about you, Miss Lawyer?" 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsSAVvabBM
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKDAMA31Es
I giggled. "Well, it's precisely that. You already know I'm going to be a lawyer. Why ask again?" 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJMANBBEtM
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06fJLblwVR
"I don't want to be an engineer." 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtPFu4s3Rr

721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ422EWepjFA
"Do you think I'd make it as a Designer?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TrCtF4UJK
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrwYKaDoEg
"Like a fashion one?" 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQzN2WN51l
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI9g0lwDQt
"No, an Interior Designer. Or an Architect. I love that crap." 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfdmQUeaDR
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGAokbw1sM
"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. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9TS1skcan
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5syxM4j6sN

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. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOoU6BbzzY
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kHsjaw3GS
"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. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN6AxqHn83
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BUB4gB6Op
"Pip," I said. "What are you doing here?" 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98osFCmM4o
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBvocZzLYN
"Same as you. I'm here to learn." 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgs2HlXfmW
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZDsrG1dfb
I stifled a laugh, returning to unzipping my bag and booting up my laptop. "Really? You, of all people?" 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBENhNOYpg9
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1GdCQuaet
"Would you believe me if I told you I'm getting a Bachelor of Arts?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIWZCBK4Qw
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchAWsp5b58
"Somewhat. I've never seen you here before, though. Explain that." 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR00uBPO8t7
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRb9A6mBuw
"I always sit in the back corner. Plus, I'm not always this early." He chuckled softly. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs0eqJSwxW
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9nJdyQOPr
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure about that story. It's a little suspicious. I'll choose to believe you for now, though." 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02ZqpxU1wD
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL9l2fNI6e
"I'm honoured." He leaned back in his chair. I glanced at the front to see the teacher about to start his lesson. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBllgLTUpg
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kQLw1NfcV
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp0VP0zRdJ
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFohoeuNdpO
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUvAJmK3dW
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0vBoUIZFP
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6mTrqa00y
"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. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNaSKoRPLz
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL46JNhTZBT
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. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW0ucLt0C2
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl643DsNDQe
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqR4R84HvR

721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWUXEmBM8D
I hummed along with it for a second, pressing the talk button and pressing the cool metal against my ear.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2AVuZh4Jp
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzgDNbaomr
"Hello?" I said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yGyvtzZNG
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOdHVhcAiQ
"Riles," a man said. I recognized it as one of the people I knew from court.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2e2bGXPF9
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf0pCL82XS
"What's up, Marcus?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd8ge4uFa1
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGho9gtCl9I
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8guibapsB
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5ojqlJ8Yq
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMSrOJ2NvS
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyPgEe8M3v
"Detention Center. You remember where that one is, right?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC2vOzMZqh
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhMwpURiS7
"'Course. I'll be there asap. Guess I'll see you around, then."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRcw6l0Vb5
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRc1h3hcSV
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyIvCipeEt
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa1TRXExNE
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdPV4t0wqP
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxPQIzoJQA
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SSvGrUDD2
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt4JiO2gVn
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G37y6U9rv
"Sounds simple enough. Can I talk to him?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL1YMtaHFo
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEXQsSouvA
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TvWP8fHCv
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a9cS349u0
"Hello," I began.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH6TBkjMgR
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0BGhFqLHJ
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl1MBDDqve
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo8JTHASrh
"So you're William Foreson?" I inquired, pulling out a notebook and pen. He seemed to take on an even more ghastly look.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwOemGx9NC
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrY5edin9P
"You're not one of those reporters, are you?" His voice sounded defeated.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStUeKQnWWz
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i9oRkKt3B
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWOhjwNXvY
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY89IlSj8J
"A becoming lawyer?" William questioned.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMzFUVc4rY
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP0zffhe1I
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfHm96ZVby
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P2bxELL4e
"So, I understand that you have recently experienced a great tragedy, William." I decided to start right into it, but not too harshly.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJgcram0GJ
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWTolm7kab
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJChomHf9I
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHTxLjSNwp
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP04HZxJSu

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. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH5l8MvG1a
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWej0LpuIwm
"Where to, Riley?" I almost shouted, but quickly composed myself. "Oops, made ya jump." Pip bounced beside me, an eager smile playing his lips.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cyU7JGq5B
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMINb5xfknr
"What do you want?" I sighed.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO08FzaBkQ8
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEducWFZ86I
"I'm just tagging along. Where to?" he asked again.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaD5aGUzsj
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAZxhhgMNI
"I'm going to get something to eat." I wasn't quite sure why I told him the truth.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYoFOjvzkB
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5io1G6G9t

721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUAjv3uFad
"Shut up!" I shot him a look. He seemed more pleased than anything.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRASgSEYjAH
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRLoX4yQOn
"But, I came here to ask you something." He stopped walking. So did I.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnrBkJDeta
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQDoUFy2kR
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAfdtwr4Ra
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQggrfOxAi
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me? I'll supply the food." He had a playful smile across his lips.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKBq4BcVXa
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAnwVGg9Xs
"A picnic?" I questioned. "Surely people don't go on picnics anymore in this day and age."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDqWGJmoTc
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaex0Zqh2D
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp9vG83DlV
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyqEnPbG1f
"N-No, that's not it." I pondered the thought for a moment. "A picnic, then? Sure, I have nothing to lose. When?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F0zNQaqvq
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZUv4NuShW
"Tomorrow at noonish. I'll meet you on top of the hill behind the science building, okay?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchbrGaTCBC
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuo9fGp8KD
"Okay." I smiled, opening my mouth to say goodbye.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lbiTvYgyg
721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5eK00Ni0Y
"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. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjz4iWJ2y7

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.
