Summer's last name is Dawson and Julian's is Albans. Summer befriends and treats Auggie well when he arrives at Beecher Prep after having been home schooled, as does a boy named Jack Will. They are both able to see beyond Auggie's facial deformity to the person underneath. Julian, on the other hand, finds Auggie physically repulsive and bullies him. He tries to persuade the other students, especially his own gang, to shun Auggie. Julian refers to Auggie as a freak, and writes cruel notes to him. 


It doesn't seem as if Auggie's experiment in attending school is going so well until the class trip to a nature reserve camp, where kids from another school taunt and attack Auggie. At this point, other classmates beside Jack come to Auggie's defense.
