Why I Didn't Sit with August the First Day of School
- Guess what's for lunch today? Hypocrisy.
- Jack recalls that he avoided sitting with August at lunch on the first day of school because he just wanted some "normal time to chill with other kids" (4.Why I Didn't Sit with August.2).
- He recognizes how brave Summer is to have joined August for lunch that first day.
- When Jack finds himself up a creek, Summer and August are there for him, being "totally nice" to him, "as always" (4.Why I Didn't Sit with August.4).
- Jack gives them a carefully edited version of the story he heard from Charlotte, boiling it down to Julian having turned the whole grade against him.
- When Jack comments on how weird it feels to have people "pretending you don't even exist," (4.Why I Didn't Sit with August.5) Auggie quips, "Welcome to my world" (4.Why I Didn't Sit with August.7).
