The Summer Table
- Enter: Summer.
- Out of nowhere, a girl Auggie has never seen or spoken to appears at his table and asks to join him. She plops down and gets right to complaining about the cafeteria mac and cheese.
- When her friends try to call her back, she says the other table is too crowded, and invites other kids to switch and sit with her instead.
- No one does.
- Summer cheerfully notices that their names—Summer and August—kind of match, and spontaneously dubs the table the "summer only" lunch table.
- Together, Auggie and Summer come up with a list of kids whose names would make them eligible to sit at the summer table, but Summer makes a solemn point that anyone who wants to sit at the table can, so long as they are nice. Auggie totally agrees.
