Today
has been horrible; it has left me in an uncomfortable position and has made me
feel even more sorry for August. Literally, every kid in our grade kept
confronting me and asking me why I am hanging out with August so much and they
kept calling him names. It was just out of order. I didn’t know why sitting
with Auggie Pullman would be such a big deal. Why do people have to be so
difficult?
First
of all, everyone was interfering in all my conversations and asking me, “Why
are you hanging out with the freak so much?” Whenever, or if ever, people ask
me that I just answer the same thing every time, “B ecause he’s a nice kid and
don’t call August that!” After that, Ximena Chin butted in and stated, “You’re
a saint Summer, I couldn’t do what you are doing.” Feeling as if I was the
centre of attention throughout the whole school, I announced, “It’s not a big
deal.” Cause it isn’t. People probably think that I was hanging out with Auggie
to make a good impression, but I’m not. I’m just being nice to Auggie, a befriended
kid. Suddenly, out of the blue, Charlotte Cody asked, “Did Mr T (Tushman) ask
you to be friends with you know who?” Oh, I knew who. At that moment I started
to feel quite annoyed (and a bit claustrophobic from everyone crowding around
me!) Then I shouted, “I’m friends with him because I want to be, ok?” At that,
I walked awkwardly away, feeling more and more sorry for August with every step
I took. Anyway, those kids are just weird - well that’s what I think. Yes, Auggie looks different and it takes a bit of getting used to but they should just treat him like a normal kid, like he is, like I do.
