I went inside the classroom, and the teacher was writing on the chalkboard while all the kids started sitting at different desks.
The desks were in a half circle facing the chalkboard, so I chose the desk in the middle toward the back,
which I thought would make it harder for anyone to stare at me.
I still kept my head way down, just looking up enough from under my bangs to see everyone’s feet.
As the desks started to fill up, I did notice that no one sat down next to me.
A couple of times someone was about to sit next to me, then changed his or her mind at the last minute and sat somewhere else.
“Hey, August.” It was Charlotte, giving me her little wave as she sat down at a desk in the front of the class.
Why anyone would ever choose to sit way up front in a class, I don’t know.
“Hey,” I said, nodding hello. Then I noticed Julian was sitting a few seats away from her, talking to some other kids.
I know he saw me, but he didn’t say hello. Suddenly someone was sitting down next to me.
It was Jack Will. Jack. “What’s up,” he said, nodding at me.
“Hey, Jack,” I answered, waving my hand, which I immediately wished I hadn’t done because it felt kind of uncool.
