“Have you had a good summer?” All of them nodded but no one said anything.
“Great, great,” said Mr. Tushman. “So, guys, I wanted you to meet August, who's going to be a new student here this year.”
“August, these guys have been students at Beecher Prep since kindergarten, though, of course, they were in the lowerschool building,”
“but they know all the ins and outs of the middle-school program.”
“And since you're all in the same homeroom, I thought it would be nice if you got to know each other a little before school started.”
“Okay? So, kids, this is August. August, this is Jack Will.” Jack Will looked at me and put out his hand.
When I shook it, he kind of half smiled and said: “Hey,” and looked down really fast.
“This is Julian,” said Mr. Tushman. “Hey,” said Julian, and did the same exact thing as Jack Will: took my hand, forced a smile, looked down fast.
“And Charlotte,” said Mr. Tushman. Charlotte had the blondest hair I've ever seen.
She didn't shake my hand but gave me a quick little wave and smiled.
“Hi, August. Nice to meet you,” she said. “Hi,” I said, looking down. She was wearing bright green Crocs.
“So,” said Mr. Tushman, putting his hands together in a kind of slow clap.
