In Their Eyes….A DexterxNora Fanfic for B. Mok by TohruHonda44

Go easy…it's my first…;;

Rating: T…I hope I don't have to change the rating…It shouldn't have anything too bad in it…maybe some language and fluff

Btw, I think you could consider this an AU since they're both in High School and considerably older…but just so you know they have the same teacher as before. Oh and sorry if they're OOC. I haven't seen Dexter's Lab in a while, and I want it to fit together well so sorry in advance if they are.

Alright here it goes…don't hurt me…!

Chapter 1.

0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0

A shrill bell resounded throughout the halls, with the noise of the late students running to their classes, the sound of their feet pitter pattering across the shiny laminate floor.

Dexter on the other hand was not one of those students. He was quietly sitting in his seat while reading the new novel by Stephen King.

He took great pleasure in this time as he could usually get through several chapters without being interrupted. He then casually slipped in his bookmark and shut the book, and placed it delicately in the corner of his desk. Glancing next to him Dexter noticed that Mandark had the same book and had placed it in the opposite corner.

'Hmm…' he smirked to himself…They always did that. It had become their new favorite way to compete…who could finish the novel first. But lately, they had become quite distant.

Ever since last year when Mandark confessed to him, he felt as though a considerable amount of space had grown between them. This isn't what he wanted. Though they weren't lovers, Dexter still thought of Mandark as a good friend…an ally that shouldn't be lost as well as a pretty good rival. He smiled to himself remembering all the times they had fought over things such as the prize at the Annual Science Fair…which reminded him….

"Dexter!" His thoughts we're jerked away as Mr. Lizunski barked his name. "Get your head out of the clouds boy…and stop thinking about girls. I have a very important announcement which you may be interested to hear!"

The other students giggled and snickered. Mandark smirked at him. Dexter nervously pushed at his glasses, a nervous habit. He was embarrassed and didn't want to appear as anything less than a perfect student. It was the way he was able to have and maintain power over others, making them think they were less compared to him. Besides, he was never thinking about girls…well except for one…

"Mr. Lizunski?"

"Yes Nora?"

Dexter's ears perked up. 'Nora…'

"Would this announcement have anything to do with the class trip you mentioned early on in the year?"

Dexter smiled to himself… she always seemed to come to his rescue in situations like this…he loved her for it. In fact…he loved her for everything, her hair, her glasses, her intellect… Though these feelings were strong, there was something holding him back…

Mr. Lizunski beamed at her. "Very good Nora! It is! And im very excited to announce that this years destination is…."

Everyone held their breath…it could be anywhere…maybe London, India, or even New York…

" JAPAN!"

Several students cheered. Dexter stood still for a moment…Japan…maybe…maybe this would be the perfect time to….

But again his thoughts were interrupted. Nora ran to his desk and smiled…"Dexter, are you planning on going? It could be pretty fun…I mean I've seen anime and stuff and I hear their robotics are supurb."

Dexter smiled back. "I think so…if I can convince my parents…but I'm sure they won't mind. As long as I tell them I WON'T be doing any science then I think they'll let me." Lately his parents had been trying to get him to calm down with the science and spending so much time in the lab…especially DeeDee had begun to take an actual interest in science herself…she had even built her own "lab" in the backyard.

'And…' he thought to himself, 'I could tell Nora how I feel…I mean these kinds of feelings should be expressed right..?' Dexter furrowed his brow. He could understand and solve all kinds of equations and problems. But love and these feelings always confused him.

"Good…" Nora said. "It'd be pretty boring with just me and Mandark…I don't know what happened between you two but he just hasn't been any fun anymore." She seemed troubled at this, which in turn troubled Dexter.

"I wish…" She began but she was interrupted by another shrill bell, which was the signal for them to go.

Nora went back to her desk and grabbed her books. "I'll see you around Dexter." She called while Dexter packed up.

But he could tell that something was different. Ever since she had mentioned Mandark her tone of voice had changed. She usually waited for him too, but this time she went on without him.

Dexter reached out his hand to her, but it was too late. He wondered then if perhaps this meant she had feelings for Mandark…he wasn't sure.

'Nora…' he thought stepping out of the door way and proceeding to his next class. 'Don't forget me…'

Well that's it for Chapter 1…tell me what you think please!

R&R silvous plait

Alright here it is…It's gonna get better…sorry if it seems boring right now…XD
