"I liked Jack"

"Like is an understatement"

Today, my brother Auggie and i were going to look around our school. A part of me was excited, but since it was our first time, i was extremely nervous too. I know it wasn't our proper first day- but just knowing we'd be starting soon, scared me. I promised Auggie that no matter what, i'd look after him. Auggie wasn't like the other kids...he acted like other kids- but didn't look like them.

Auggie was born different, but i loved that about him. No matter how many surgeries he had as a baby, nothing changed my perspective and i hope he makes a good amount of friends in school. Being Auggie's twin would be hard. If nobody likes him- people probably won't like me. But i dont care.

Me, Mum and Auggie were now sat in front of the principal of the school, Mr.Tushman. I could tell Auggie was getting more nervous by the second so i grabbed his hand. Suddenly, we heard talking and scuffling of feet behind us. Auggie looked back along with me, we saw three kids. One girl, two boys...one boy in particular caught my eye.

We made eye contact- probably for awhile because i turned to see Auggie freaking out. "I can't see other kids now!" He said, worry filled his face. Mum looked into his eyes and whispered "hey, its gonna be okay. Y/n and i are here" i smiled and nodded. My brother relaxed a little.

Mr.Tushman introduced us to the kids. Charlotte, Julian and Jack. Jack was the cutest boy clearly. He was incredibly sweet too. While Charlotte was bragging to Auggie about her Broadway life, Jack and i got to know each other at the back. "So..how was homeschooling?" He asked, i looked at him. "How'd you know i was homeschooled?" I questioned with a smile.

"Oh- Mr.Tushman told us..im not a creep- i dont stalk you!" He explained causing me to laugh. "No need to panic. And- Homeschooling was okay i guess, but i'd love to be surrounded by other people you know? Make new friends and stuff" i said and Jack nodded. "I agree, though I don't really like school that much" i raised a brow.

"Why?" He sighed. "My friends suck. Julian- hes a horrible person, but he puts on an act in front of teachers which annoys everyone" he explained, i looked at Julian who constantly had a smug smile on his face, which angered me. I overheard him speak "or do you eat...special foods?" He was looking directly at Auggie. "Julian. Hes a person like all of us, he does not need special food, he has the same food of all of us you jerk"

The dark haired boy just smirked. "Feisty i see, it was just a simple question, or can you not answer them properly due to your homeschool life?" As i went to yell at him, Jack stood in front of Auggie and i. "Hey Julian, just shut up and continue showing them around" he said aggressively. I stared at him happily while Auggie smiled gratefully.

After the tour, Auggie and i were at the dinner table. I was sat next to Via, i loved Via, shes literally my best friend. "So Y/n, how was the school tour?" She asked. Before I could answer, Auggie cut me off; "there was one kid, he was awful!" I smiled sadly and nodded before my face lit up "i liked Jack!" "Like is an understatement"

Mum, Dad, Auggie and Via laughed while i sat there flustered as hell. "H-hey?! Hes a sweet kid okay- i dont like him like that!" I defended. "Suree- i'll be the one saying 'told you so' when you date some point this year" Auggie teased. I covered my face in embarrassment as my family continued to laugh and tease me. Although it was embarrassing- i dont mind this.

Because 3 months later, Jack and i started dating...and Auggie was behind us as we kissed, chanting "I TOLD YOU SO!" Jack was confused by this but me- i just laughed along with my twin...
