A thousand words

the long version

Micky Taylor, a community college student, finds a small notebook left by a classmate who nearly mows her down on his way into class before a math exam. He glares at her with the most distinctive hazel eyes. Micky intends to drop the notebook off at Lost and Found before leaving campus, but she is in such a rush that she forgets, and the notebook remains in her backpack. One night she spies it in her backpack while she and her friends are out to dinner, the same night they read about a rash of thefts from the campus crime website.
