“How funny you are, and how kind and smart. When I told him you read Dragon Rider when you were six, he was like, ‘Wow, I have to meet this kid.’”
“Did you tell him anything else?” I said. Mom smiled at me. Her smile kind of hugged me.
“I told him about all your surgeries, and how brave you are,” she said. “So he knows what I look like?” I asked.
“Well, we brought pictures from last summer in Montauk,” Dad said. “We showed him pictures of the whole family.
And that great shot of you holding that flounder on the boat!”
“You were there, too?” I have to admit I felt a little disappointed that he was a part of this.
“We both talked to him, yes,” Dad said. “He’s a really nice man.”
“You would like him,” Mom added. Suddenly it felt like they were on the same side.
“Wait, so when did you meet him?” I said. “He took us on a tour of the school last year,” said Mom.
“Last year?” I said. “So you’ve been thinking about this for a whole year and you didn’t tell me?”
“We didn’t know if you’d even get in, Auggie,” answered Mom. “It’s a very hard school to get into. There’s a whole admissions process.
I didn’t see the point in telling you and having you get all worked up about it unnecessarily.”
