NY, NY- Breaking news, last night August Pullman got lost and was beat up and bullied by older kids in the woods, just because his face is deformed. But his friends stepped in and saved him and got out safely.

“August Pullman is no normal boy.” “He plays normal things and does normal stuff but he is not normal.” Via said.  “August Pullman was born with a facial deformity, but that does not stop him from doing things perfectly fine.” His mom said,  “When August was young he did not do things perfectly,  he barely had a chin and he could not eat or talk.” “But all August’s surgeries fixed those problems and our family calls that a miracle.” His dad said, “August was home schooled because he hated it when people saw his face.” “And I taught him,” his mom said.

“One night Mom and Dad decided said he might be going to school.” Via said,  “And later that summer they took took him to the school so he can see it.”  “August got really mad at us,” His dad said.  August met three kids who took him on a tour of the school. Their names were Jack, Charlotte and Julian.  

August got bullied a little but made it through the year. In the end of the year the whole grade went on a trip. August dreaded the trip and did not want to go but he went anyway. He was having a fun time, until the movie.

The night he saw the movie was a nice night but it was dark. When the grade got to the outdoor movie theater, it was announced they were seeing Mary Poppins. When the movie started, August and Jack went into the woods to go to the bathroom. When they were done they could not find their way back because it was dark. Then they saw their flashlights.

They came over to August and started to laugh and curse. At this point Jack was telling August that we should get out of here. But of course the older kids kept on teasing Auggie. Now Jack was mad and was telling the kids to back off. But the kids kept on teasing Auggie. By this point Jack was pushing the kids and the kids were pushing him back. And Auggie was just trying to reason with them but they didn’t care. Then out of nowhere Miles, Amos, and Henry stepped in and was trying to help. They just said let’s leave and that is what they did. But when they were trying to leave the kids grabbed Auggie’s hood and pushed him to the ground. Then Amos rammed into one of the kids and knocked him over. After, they ran out of there before the kids could hurt them anymore.

“It was the most I have ever been bullied.” August said.
