Character Portaits : Dexter Thomas

Dexter is a fifteen year old boy at the same grade as Mara Evans in the local public school at Guinevere, Canada. He's considered as the "school nerd", and seconds Mara when it comes to academics. He had a crush at Mara since they were in kindergarten, when Mara defended him from bullies. At first, he was shy and wouldn't speak to Mara, already contented at just looking at her, but recently he finally found the courage to talk to her, which he overdid. Mara's a little annoyed with the attention he's giving her. He would have been a popular guy at school, if not for his clumsiness, shyness, and cowardness.
