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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFVjXfeqNj
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8X6avVJgp
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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPVgNCFTHd
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoKyX3EE3j
"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?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkvzWzbajT
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGhPJy8uvR
"U-Uh..." I backed against the wall. "N-No, it's just...I c-can't say..."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7nQMFXjx4
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4TyEwWYrG
"You can't say? Come on, enough bull!"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cyzGAHNOi
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdveGjwuL7M
"I really can't...I'm sorry."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg27yLSWUR
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv4jZg698P
"Tell me!" She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly pulled off my glove. "Hey!" I exclaimed.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ8golIJQ8
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntKvUPm3xu
"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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ima8F7itA
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMNyUH4zcC
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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJar8v0j43
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoLFSU6fbo
"I need to tell you something." I had said.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LiBtfEguH
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjUWTYuzGr
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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHgqoHVP1e
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnBKxwdArp
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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTapHHE9bDt
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsy8fnFXw1
"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."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtSLsV7wEs
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGefw85Yz7K
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. For a second I thought I slept in again. What day is it again?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MqHSFiaIC
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mhlUTy7fY
"Monday."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrNNXBszxv
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQla0bz3aJ9
She made a face.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTBlNnMxva

"Why do you call it that?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcvbH2lbb3
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSap8KwdHG
"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?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudHHBXxR3Y
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyJAwKPDqK
"Law." I glanced over at my textbook, a whopping seven hundred pounds to throw around.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J59V0cTrx
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ433oOSaJdm
"Oh, yeah. How is law anyway? I've been considering switching." 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4HRhDSB95

521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYQE94MqXs
Ellie glanced to the side. "Maybe. What about you, Miss Lawyer?" 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX0DmtcV5V
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5ZpPxHoUj
I giggled. "Well, it's precisely that. You already know I'm going to be a lawyer. Why ask again?" 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRcYpUFE39
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXOUSBZrWL

"Do you think I'd make it as a Designer?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn4FFqkh2s

"Like a fashion one?" 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUWal4sfZb

521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhR7FMclsb
"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. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GwAHxDJ8E

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. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv9b5WEgZs
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5as8ChZUu
"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. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqZwVxl7h9
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yMgakn7IO
"Pip," I said. "What are you doing here?" 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3TiK5AVWr
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcv8W0eU4Z
"Same as you. I'm here to learn." 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCKwN4fhN8
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNme00r7St7
I stifled a laugh, returning to unzipping my bag and booting up my laptop. "Really? You, of all people?" 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARTLTxMWeF
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo87u8jDvqz
"Would you believe me if I told you I'm getting a Bachelor of Arts?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uvCdKdfro
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQveg7gbKTu
"Somewhat. I've never seen you here before, though. Explain that." 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyYgm4dUeC
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFKxBVH0r9
"I always sit in the back corner. Plus, I'm not always this early." He chuckled softly. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhZ5FyD6R3
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jLalMHclt
"Hm, I'm not entirely sure about that story. It's a little suspicious. I'll choose to believe you for now, though." 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEC6PB5s5E
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarLgpLeU9I
"I'm honoured." He leaned back in his chair. I glanced at the front to see the teacher about to start his lesson. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrKKpV7pwD
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgtB14IWrC
"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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OBWVzpx4h
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnLjHlKldE
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITB7ncHC56
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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LWN2KikUF
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunzJKxVXAc
"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. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW7QF62Jo6
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA1xSQNGtN
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. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T4YZmNUL7
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK3KWtcYme
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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KPn1hLT6F

I hummed along with it for a second, pressing the talk button and pressing the cool metal against my ear.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hMFntQV0x
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83jOUzId7D
"Hello?" I said.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdpIn7fbLu

"What's up, Marcus?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3HIVO5eBU
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4IxfgJHzc
"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."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtscVmnPof
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWJuEKkqjB
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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnILXUpiXe
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLkJZDgzAa
"Detention Center. You remember where that one is, right?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmer1Mgn27w
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerQYJRmldJ

521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthTtAyUEYE
"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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJJ9tJ7cNu
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk6m2jrDya
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyFhbpbqDE
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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIFNbBekOh
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeqvWMhPx2
"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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1PWL3fg8V
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIiClyR6wC
"Sounds simple enough. Can I talk to him?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNllFGwOE6
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFYcALPJ6M
"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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p9t1NVL5a
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4vEQ6FzHj
"Hello," I began.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwx7FZ5CGa
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLpW4hNpzf
"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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD6e7CpP5s
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijioAHvJse
"So you're William Foreson?" I inquired, pulling out a notebook and pen. He seemed to take on an even more ghastly look.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAIJTvQ7d0
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWpS9LYl8c
"You're not one of those reporters, are you?" His voice sounded defeated.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Au2ewIlJF
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK8LQFd3I2
"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."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbOoqsCyD7
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFn2HMW6Oa
"A becoming lawyer?" William questioned.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxYDdOkS6b
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yOgJxMtJl
"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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4B193Urhk
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOk2qLQf5k
"So, I understand that you have recently experienced a great tragedy, William." I decided to start right into it, but not too harshly.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyqrYc1LOn
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZKvic0nC6
"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."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QRS8mUwW8
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3rWxCALsi
"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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFIBZ2bdRL

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. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMgYWC5RyT
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQg7JKtuhE
"Where to, Riley?" I almost shouted, but quickly composed myself. "Oops, made ya jump." Pip bounced beside me, an eager smile playing his lips.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpctnBGoO5z
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kZnxkzUB2
"What do you want?" I sighed.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2GbxCvi1g
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFBSVQWc7O
"I'm just tagging along. Where to?" he asked again.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwKF9MzlIV
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcdZnNxyrv
"I'm going to get something to eat." I wasn't quite sure why I told him the truth.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51K8cSgu55
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q1pbXgmOu
"Two nights in a row? You're going to be broke, and probably gain some weight while you're at it." 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ydKHJHEok
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VnGKl0WbA
"Shut up!" I shot him a look. He seemed more pleased than anything.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4WIFMZo9v
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRobXsqVGx
"But, I came here to ask you something." He stopped walking. So did I.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0UFzL8Jie
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0CyPL2fBU
"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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXkEek6CTg
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaC3ScwRjQ
"Would you like to come on a picnic with me? I'll supply the food." He had a playful smile across his lips.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhY4dsNLKu
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvtKiAjRb0
"A picnic?" I questioned. "Surely people don't go on picnics anymore in this day and age."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSd2Ue0kkQ
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBulGVkTM9
"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."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bt8sY4GOS
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYLIESoVBp
"N-No, that's not it." I pondered the thought for a moment. "A picnic, then? Sure, I have nothing to lose. When?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjZ39ndYqw
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgMx9jeLpC
"Tomorrow at noonish. I'll meet you on top of the hill behind the science building, okay?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yD1BEsRcH
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwGuxvsqt7
"Okay." I smiled, opening my mouth to say goodbye.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx53naxCZ4
521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjdY7ks18J
"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. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKbeLbbutv

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.
and then Add to home screen.
