She messed up my hair. So here’s why I changed my mind. It wasn’t so I wouldn’t have to hear Mom give me a whole lecture.
And it wasn’t to protect this August kid from Julian, who I knew would be a jerk about the whole thing.
It was because when I heard Jamie talking about how he had run away from August going ‘Ahhh,’ I suddenly felt really bad.
The thing is, there are always going to be kids like Julian who are jerks.
But if a little kid like Jamie, who’s usually a nice enough kid, can be that mean, then a kid like August doesn’t stand a chance in middle school.

Like, the teacher will say something and August will whisper something funny to me that no one else hears and totally make me crack up.
He’s also just, overall, a nice kid. Like, he’s easy to hang out with and talk to and stuff.
Third of all, he’s really smart. I thought he’d be behind everyone because he hadn’t gone to school before.
