Hello, my name is August . I have a sister called Olivia also known as via. I go to Beecher prep and I am in fifth grade , where there are lots of children in my class, there such as Jack will, Julian, Summer, and Ximena. Once in school, there was a boy called Eddie which had a camera in his hand and guess what, he had the camera filming right at my face and i really didn’t like it. Now here comes to the story of Julian, i really don’t think her knows how people feel when he calls them names like Freak, dorks, and even worse things. Lets get on to the good part, i do ordinary things like i eat ice cream, ride my bike , go on my Xbox and other more.

Hello. My name is August pullman.Everyone calls me Auggie. I have a sister called Olivia. I call her Via. I also have a dog called daisy. I was born with special needs. My face is deformed. I am homeschooled by my mum. I should be in fith grade but as I said before, my face is deformed. My sister is really kind. When we were little, we always used to play with each other. Now, my mum is thinking of sending me to school which will be a very big chalenge for me.
Hello, my name is Via.
I have a brother called August. He deformed and the first time I saw him, he didnt look normal and he looks horrified, Sickened and scared. About Mom and Dad, she was a Brazilian fashionista and he was a super hipster dude. When I was eleven years old, I went to stay with Grans in Montauk for four weeks while August having his jaw surgery. Normally, grandmothers (not grandfathers) do everything with there grandkids. After four weeks coming back, I felt so weird and strange at once. It felt like, I saw a horror movie.
I felt like it was two Augusts: the one I saw blindly , and the one other people saw. It was difficult tell grans. But just two months after I stayed with Gran in Montauk, my beautiful grans for heart attack.
It was dinner, mum and I had just gotten in to the worst fight ever. Auggie just had to ask what we were talking about, as you would think it did not go well. It ended up with Auggie running up to his room and mum in an absolute state. A little while later we started hearing Daisy pant and cry. ” Mom whats wrong with her?” I said.
”I don’t know.” Mom walked up to her to calm her down, then all of a sudden she bit her. It wasn’t a big bite just a nib but still Daisy never bites. Mom didn’t know what was wrong
with her but she knew that she had to go to the vet. ”Call Auggie down.” I ran up the stairs and knocked on the door. ”Its open.” He said. I went in the room.
”Auggie come mom wants you” I said
”No i’m not apologizing no way!” He shouted to the top of his voice.
” Its not about that Auggie not everything is about you!” I said slamming the door behind me . Not long after August came outside to ask what it was about. ”Daisy is ill she bit mom.” August ran down the stairs. ”Mom whats wrong are you hurt” he said.
”No i’m ok it was only a nib,” mom said ”I think its time to say goodbey.”
Hi my name is Jack but people call me Jack Will. Today we are going to graduate from fith grade. I am going to be meeting my friends there Summer and August. You are very observant if you saw I did not write Julian. Julian makes fun of people and I have had enough i don’t want to spend my life sitting next to some jerk who is going to spend his life judging people. Anyway when we arrived we saw Summer .She was prettier than ever. Suddenly I found out.I had a crush on her.
The character I am talking about Via (Olivia (In names) ) . I don’t know what happen to Auggie ,in school , but I heard it of him talking to mum something about Rat boy, Freak, Monster, Freddy Krueger, E.T and other names that they called him that I don’t want to say more disgusting names because I will know that will upset him. After he said that he had a belly ace to mum. He loves Halloween and he ended up in bed, so I had to go to trick or treat mt self.

Dear diary,
Today was unfortunate day, but a happy one at the same time. Daisy, my favorite dog in the whole wide world died. She was coughing like mad, she just wouldn’t stop. I’m not blaming her, it wasn’t her actually. She was getting old and we knew it! Mom and Dad new best, so they took her to the vets so she could die peacefully, not from choking to death. Auggie was being grumpy that day, because of a BIG family argument, but the death of Daisy brought all of us together again. Mom and Dad came back in a Taxi Cab, but no dog was with them. We cried together, while collecting her toys. Mom and Dad reminded me and Auggie about the fact that Daisy was old and ill, but died like every other old dog should die, peacefully.
The next day we were back to normal again, but without our dog Daisy. Dad came back from work nearly, which was strange because Dad is a long worker. He was carrying a small, black bundle of fur. A puppy! Dad was carrying a tiny, black puppy. He looked like a new-born bear cub. Obviously, we named him Bear. This unexpected puppy was so cute! By the way, Auggie suggested the name. Mom and Dad let us stay home from school and play with the adorable puppy. We gave him all Daisy’s toys, which he loved. We also gave him all the doggy treats in the house hold.
Best day ever! Daisy was in doggy or pet heaven (whatever you would call it) and Bear was with us!

Dear diary,
Today was the first day at Middle school and it was epic, in home room I got to be with all my friends. I sat next to Maya at lunch time but because Maya has so much friends it got kind of crowded so I looked for a different place to sit and that was where I saw a boy sat all alone on a table. I guess I kind of felt sorry for him so I walked over and sat down right next to him and found out that he was actually quite funny and his name was August and we made a table called the summer table and said that anyone’s name who was related to Summer could sit here for example Julian could become July and could sit here and Jack-Will could become Jack will go to the beach. Anyway today was awesome I wonder what tomorrow will be like.

Dear Diary,
I will always remember this day as long as I live but not for a good reason. I was so upset when Isabel called me at work. I was literally crying ( but on the inside, it would be embarrassing if I was crying on the outside). When we reached the vet, the doctor told us that Daisy had limited time to live and there was nothing they could do. I asked if I could take a moment with the dog which I bought. The dog which I loved so much. The dog who would always make my joyful when I was unhappy. This time I couldn’t keep the tears in. I literary cried so loud I could hear other animals making noise. The doctor and my wife came in the room and met me. They had told me that Daisy would die but they could sooth the pain in her. When we reached home, we met August and Olivia met us by the door. I explained to them what had happened. After that, we all went to bed. I could hear Olivia crying with Isabel in her room. Strangely, I couldn’t hear anything from Auggie’s. Suddenly, the tears started coming again. And I couldn’t keep them in. The next day, we dropped Auggie and Olivia at school. Then, me and Isabel whet to the marvelous pet shop and bought a cute little puppy who we called Bear and the kids were jumping with joy. This part had some highs and lows but the ending helped me to cheer up.
Dear diary,
Today was probably the weirdest day of my life! It stared normal at first when Mr Tushman said we have to show a student around the school. I do remember him saying something about his face. His face is not as bad as imagined…it was worse! and Jack was like “Dude!” in my head i was like “Dude,dude,dude,dude,dude,dude,dude, dude!” i kept repeating that in my head. Charlotte didn’t even care about his face, well that’s what she looked like. After all, she was one of the “goody-two-shoes”. In my head is will still repeating Dude in my head! his face was so weird, i couldn’t stop staring at it! I really hope that freak is not coming to my school! And that’s why today was the weirdest day ever!
Dear Diary, [In character as Jack Will]
Today was the best day ever! When I went to find Auggie outside his car, he looked really mad. I was like, dude, you ok? Then, he wound down his window, stuck his head inside and whispered something angrily. His dad drove away after that.
“You ok, dude?” I asked.
“Yeah. Thanks”
We headed silently into the auditorium. When we got there, I was like, whoa, dude! This is some big auditorium!
“Fifth and Sixth Graders, please take your seats! Fifth Graders on the left , Sixth Graders on the right! Take your seats! Take your seats!” Mrs Garcia commanded.
We sat in our seats (which were laid out in alphabetical order). Mr Tushman started making his LONG speech. I was like, dude this is SO boring! Then, awards started to get handed out. I knew I wasn’t going to get anything.
“This award goes to Ximena Chin for…..”
Blah Blah Blah.
“To Charlotte for….”
To be continued (didn’t have time to finish)
August/Auggie dressed up in a bleeding scream costume for Halloween in his school. When he walked past other students, everyone didn’t know it was him and they didn’t try to stay away from him. Even another student in a bleeding scream costume high- fived August! Then he walked into his class and walked over to Julian and Jack. They didn’t know that the bleeding scream costume was him (because he was going to wear a boba fett costume but he changed his costume last minute). Then Jack and Julian started making fun of Auggie. Then Jack quoted “If i looked like him, I would of killed my self!” Auggie ran out of the room and ran away.
Via:
Over summer I tried to get together with Miranda and Ellie but every time I called her it went to voice mail. But when I got back to school after the summer I could tell they got together a few times before school started. Miranda cut her hair and died it pink and was wearing a ton of make up.
August:
On the last day of school it was graduation day! the auditorium was full of parents and children I sat near the next to Jack and Summer who were full excitement.We were chatting and laughing so much that we were crying of laughter because Jack reminded me of when we put these notes in Julian’s locker about this called Beulah which was so funny. Then Mr Tushman came on stage and every one went quiet and they were listening to what he was saying.
Summers Dairy
Today is Grade 5 graduation I’am a little nervous but i think it will be fun. I was wearing a little makeup and a lite pink dress what can go wrong today? It was so busy! I thought that i would get lost in by the time i get to the auditorium for the ceremony! Mrs G told us to sit in alphabetical order so i couldn’t sit next to Auggie and jack. All the smart kids got the awards but suddenly Mr Tushman said “Congratulation Summer for gold in creative writing!” i was so surprised i won the award so i went to the stage and got my glistening gold shiny medal on my neck. Then Mr Tushman made a speech for a very big award the best in the year i think i thought Ximena or Charlotte would of won the award but as soon as i heard Mr Tushman say “Congratulations Auggie Pullman” I was so happy for August i heard the parents and children cheer ” Auggie Auggie well done” i think this was the best graduation yet!
Summer’s Diary
I cannot believe that is the end of the 5th grade! My mum told me to wear a long, soft, red dress for the last day.
“I love it, thank you mum.” I said to my mum smiling happily.
“It’s okay my love, I will do anything for you.” she whispered in my ear. “It’s time to go now, Summer.”
“Let’s go,” I repeated, “let’s go.”
When we arrived to the place, it look amazing in there and i can already see Auggie and Jack too! So I went to the boys and when I came I heard Jack whisper to August “How did Summer get so hot?” That is when I was a little bit more shy. After our conversation about how we were so exited, I went to sit down on a chair and all of the sudden, Jack just sat next to me! That was so awkward! I am telling you that I do like him tiny bit.
JULIAN
I hate august and i wish he wasn’t alive. Every person i talk to has to mention that ugly disabled boy. Why did he even have to come to Beecher prep anyway. This school is for cool people like me and summer and jack not for some dork named August!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
