“Promise.” “So Julian had this huge holiday party over winter break,” she said. “I mean, huge.
My sister’s friend had had her sweet sixteen at the same place last year.
There were like two hundred people there, so I mean it’s a huge place.” “Yeah, and?”
“Yeah, and... well, pretty much everybody in the whole grade was there.” “Not everybody,” I joked.
“Right, not everybody. Duh. But like even parents were there, you know. Like my parents were there.
You know Julian’s mom is the vice president of the school board, right? So she knows a lot of people.
Anyway, so basically what happened at the party was that Julian went around telling everyone
that you punched him because you had emotional problems...” “What?!”
“And that you would have gotten expelled, but his parents begged the school not to expel you...” “What?!”
“And that none of it would have happened in the first place if Tushman hadn’t forced you to be friends with Auggie.
He said his mom thinks that you, quote unquote, snapped under the pressure...”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “No one bought into that, right?” I said. She shrugged.
