But in most things he’s way ahead of me. I mean, maybe not as smart as Charlotte or Ximena, but he’s up there.
And unlike Charlotte or Ximena, he lets me cheat off of him if I really need to (though I’ve only needed to a couple of times).
He also let me copy his homework once, though we both got in trouble for it after class.
“The two of you got the exact same answers wrong on yesterday’s homework,”
Ms. Rubin said, looking at both of us like she was waiting for an explanation.
I didn’t know what to say, because the explanation would have been: Oh, that’s because I copied August’s homework.
But August lied to protect me. He was like, “Oh, that’s because we did our homework together last night,” which wasn’t true at all.
“Well, doing homework together is a good thing,” Ms. Rubin answered, “but you’re supposed to still do it separately, okay?
You could work side by side if you want, but you can't actually do your homework together, okay? Got it?”
After we left the classroom, I said: “Dude, thanks for doing that.” And he was like, “No problem.” That was cool.
Fourthly, now that I know him, I would say I actually do want to be friends with August.
At first, I admit it, I was only friendly to him because Mr. Tushman asked me to be especially nice and all that.
