This is my first fan fiction so I hope you like it.

Chapter one

"Auggie! Via! Time for dinner." Mom exclaimed impatiently.

It was dinner time and tonight mom said she and dad will tell me and Via a very big surprise. Usually I can guess what it was that they were going to tell me but this time it was kind of hard. Via thinks we'll buy a new something but I don't really think so.

"Coming mom!" I yelled from my room. I rushed past Via as I went down the stairs and into the kitchen.

The air smelled of freshly baked potato with melted butter and sour cream. I gulped the air in as if it was food. Mom's baked potato is "the best" baked potato you can ever taste. Although it may not look as good but the real stuff is in the ugly and unappealing brown, ruffled, hideous skin. Something I use to relate to myself. I am … what's the word? Different. No, like really different. Try picturing a face but swerved.

I got use to the way I look years ago. Via, my sister, got use to it too, and mom and dad.

I don't really even mind. It's just that people always give the "one second look" thing which isn't just so encouraging.

I walked in and saw that bear was lounging on his little sofa by the window where he can stare at the nice starry summer night. Bear is our little dog that Via and Dad surprised me with few weeks ago.

"Auggie! You're finally here. Can you help Via set the table?" Dad smiled.

"Sure, dad. But can you please tell me your "big" surprise first? Please?" I said as I put on my puppy eyes.

" No, honey. Let's save that for dessert. Alright?" Dad said. I make a face at him and start setting the table.
