"Dexter
hated his new school already. It was only his first day -- barely
his first hour. So far Dexter had decided that he hated the principal,
the school secretary, and the janitor. He hadn't even met the janitor
yet, but he hated him anyway. The janitor had made the floor so shiny
and slick that Dexter slipped on it, falling right in front of a bunch
of other kids. Dexter hated those kids, too. They laughed at
him."
Oh my, the day is certainly not going well for Dexter. Can anything more go wrong? What do you think? Is Dexter really as tough as he thinks? |
