Olivia's Brother
- With Justin as our narrator, Via is always Olivia, and capitalization and punctuation are optional. With that out of the way, we'd like to welcome you to Part 5 of our book, titled… drum roll please… "Justin."
- Justin meets Auggie and Jack at Olivia's. He is surprised by Auggie's face and hopes his surprise doesn't show too much, but he's perceptive enough to understand that surprises/not-surprises are "hard to fake."
- He and Olivia have been dating for two months. He liked her the instant he saw her, but it took a while before they started dating. Olivia is friendly and direct, but doesn't flirt.
- After three dates Olivia trusts Justin enough to tell him about August's "craniofacial abnormality"—she does not use the word deformed (5.Olivia's Brother.13).
- As they leave Auggie's room, Olivia checks in with Justin to see how he is handling the shock of meeting Auggie. Years of kids who never return for a second play date have taught her that Auggie's face can be scary.
- But Justin's "not freaked out or scared" (5.Olivia's Brother.25).
