Everyone in the grade got assigned an Egyptian artifact to work on for Egyptian Museum Day, which was in December.
The teachers wrote all the assignments down on tiny scraps of paper, which they put into a fishbowl,
and then all us kids in the grade took turns picking the papers out of the fishbowl in assembly.
So I unfolded Auggie's little slip of paper. “Oh, cool!” I said, maybe a little overexcited because I was trying to get him psyched up.
“You got the Step Pyramid of Sakkara!” “I know!” he said. “I got Anubis, the god of the afterlife.”
“The one with the dog head?” “It's actually a jackal head,” I corrected him.
“Hey, you want to start working on our projects together after school? You could come over to my house.”
He put his sandwich down and leaned back in his chair. I can't even describe the look he was giving me.
“You know, Summer,” he said. “You don't have to do this.” “What are you talking about?”
You don't have to be friends with me. I know Mr. Tushman talked to you.” “I have no idea what you're talking about.”
“You don't have to pretend, is all I'm saying. I know Mr. Tushman talked to some kids before school started
and told them they had to be friends with me.” “He did not talk to me, August.”
