Wonder Chapter 38 Summary

After School

  • Via is supposed to get a ride home from school with Miranda, but she totally can't deal with that, so she lies to Miranda to get out of it.
  • She takes the bus and the subway home, then lies to her mom about why it took so long for her to get there.
  • She asks her mom about Auggie's day, but she's also kind of hair-trigger emo about everything, which surprises her mom.
  • Via storms into Auggie's room to ask about his day. He's zoned out on video games, in a galaxy far, far away.
  • She grabs the PlayStation from him; he yells at her.
  • She asks about his day; he yells at her.
  • She asks if people were nice; he snaps, "Why would people be mean?" (2.After School.30). Whoa—sarcasm. Via didn't know Auggie had it in him. The kid's officially a middle schooler.
