First Day Jitters
- The excited and nervous Pullman family all walk Auggie to school together.
- Auggie describes the feeling that the streets and buildings and sidewalks that are totally familiar to him suddenly feel new and different.
- Auggie keeps his head down, mostly, but doesn't feel like absolutely everyone is staring.
- His family reassures him. They wish him a great first day and send him off with hugs and kisses. He skedaddles before his mom has a chance to cry.
