Snippet #1849034

Dexter just sat in his dorm thinking about all of the marvelous things he left back home in Australia. He just flipped through all of the picture albums he had from the times he spent with his mother before she was murdered and his father, and his best friend Jason. He began to shed a tear as he took a trip down memory lane. He missed how is mother tucked him in at night, read a story to him and kissed him upon his forehead. He suddenly received a call from his dad
"Hello." Dexter said with a hoarse voice.
"Hey Dex!" His dad replied
"Is everything okay?" His dad added
"Yea. Everything is great. I'm just looking through these old pics." Dex said as he put the book away realizing that his father already knew what he was talking about.
"*Sigh* Yea. I miss her too." His dad replied
"Why don't you go to the library and check out a book on forensics. It may help you with your studies." His dad added.
"Okay. Ill call you later." Dex said as he headed for the door and hung up. Dex didn't like the hallways of the school. It always made him feel closed in and it was just plain creepy. Not only were the hallways creepy but so was half the student body. He felt as if some random kid would just pop out asking if he wanted to see their cheese. So he raced to the library. That's how creeped out he was
"Hi Mrs.Vandertramp. Would you happen to have any books on forensics?" Dex asked as he flipped his dorm key around in his hand.
"Yea. In the back to the left." She replied
"Okay. Thanks." He said as he rushed off to the back. As he turned the corner into the back he saw a girl burning a book. He didn't really know what to think but he needed the book.
"Uhmm. Hi." Dex said as he began looking for the forensics book but the girl just looked up at him and back down at the fire.
"My name is Dex." He said as he put out his hand for her to shake. But she just looked at him and back down to the fire.
"Well then." He muttered as he grabbed the forensics book off the shelf and went back to the front desk to check it out.
"Is this the book you want?" Mrs.Vandertramp asked.
"Yes it is." Dex replied
"Okay. You have three weeks to finish it" She said as she scanned the book and put a little card in the back of it.
"Okay. Thanks!" HE said with a smile as he walked out the library and back to his room. When he got back to his room he jumped on his bed kicked off his shoes and began to read. He seemed quite interested in the book already and couldn't stop reading. He figured he would be done with it in about a week.
