Phillip Quinn walked into his ten year old daughter's bed room, flicking the light on as he passed.
"Fifi, it's time to get up." Phillip calls quietly. He smiles lightly at his daughter, who is sitting up rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Morning, Princess." Phillip tells her walking over to the door. "Morning Dad." She calls back.
Phoebe walks over to her dresser pulling out a pinkish color shirt and a pair of white ankle socks. Then she walked over to her closet and pulled out a pair of overalls. She put all her clothes on and put a pair of black high top converse on and then she put on her three elephant bracelets and her heart necklace on.Phoebe walked down stairs, and into the dining room, her mother, Penelope Quinn walked into the room, setting a plate of chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream on top, down, then she walked back putting a cup of milk down. "Morning Fifi, how are this morning?" Penelope asked as she sat down, with a plate of eggs and some orange juice. Phoebe eyed her mom suspiciously, before pushing her plate towards her mother to have her cut it up. "It's fine I guess, what's with the big unhealthy breakfast?" She asked. Her mother hesitated ever so slightly before putting in her biggest fake smile ever, "I wanted you to have a big breakfast on the first day. Oh , dad is gonna walk you to school, and I'll walk you home,okay?" Phoebe ate her food, then she grabbed her backpack, and took her lunch from her mom.

Phoebe walked into classroom 301, which was on the third floor. When she walked in she saw a few other kids, including her friend Charlotte. "Hey Phoebe." Charlotte stated.
"Hey Charlotte," Phoebe said as she sat down.
The girls talked about their summer, and watched as kids came in and sat down, but they stopped talking when a new kid came in. Except the kid looked different. In Phoebe's opinion, he didn't seem different than anyone else. Phoebe was different than everyone else, she had dyslexia. Of course, people knew they just didn't care that much. She looked normal, she acted normal, so to them she was normal. Charlotte stood up, waving at him, "Hey, August." She stated as she sat down next to me. He nodded a 'Hey' back.
Phoebe saw someone sit next to August. It was Jack Will, Phoebe's crush, even if she didn't know it. Phoebe turned back to Charlotte, who was sitting in her seat turned towards Phoebe.
"Okay, kids, okay, everybody! Settle down," said the teacher, Ms. Petosa, she turned towards the kids who hadn't sat down, "Everybody find a seat, please. Come in. There's a seat there, and right there."
"Now, the first thing I want everyone to do is stop talking and...." She trailed off as she noticed August. "... put your backpacks down and quiet down."
"I'm going to take attendance and do the seating chart, When I call your name, come up and I'll hand you a folder with your name on it. It contains your class schedule and your combination lock, which you should not try to open until I tell you to. Your locker number is written on the class schedule. Be forewarned that some lockers are not right outside this class but down the hall, and before anyone thinks of asking; no, you cannot switch lockers and you can't switch locks. Then if there's time at the end of this period, we're all going to get to know each other a little better, okay? Okay." She started to read of names. Phoebe didn't really pay attention to many of the names until it got to August Pullman. "August Pullman?" She called out.
The boy quietly said, "here" Ms. Petosa said 'Hi August' to the boy when he went up to grab his folder. Phoebe smiled lightly at him as he walked by her.
"Phoebe Quinn?" Ms. Petosa called towards the girl. The classes eyes were on the bubbly, girl. "Hello, Phoebe." Phoebe smiled at her, walking back to her seat, next to Charlotte. Ms. Petosa continued to call names, the last one being Jack Will's. "Okay, so, everybody write your combinations down somewhere safe that you won't forget, okay? But if you do forget, which happens at least three point two times per semester, Mrs. Garcia has a list of all the combination numbers. Now go ahead, take your locks out of your folders and spend a couple of minutes practicing how to open them, though I know some of you went ahead and did that anyway." She looked at Henry when she said that. "And in the meanwhile, I'll tell you guys a little something about myself. And then you guys can tell me a little about yourselves and we'll um, get to know each other. Sound good? Good." She smiled at everyone. Then she went on explaining a little about herself, with Julian commenting, "that's cool about how you're pursuing your dream," he said. "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" He smiled proudly.
"Okay, so why don't you tell us a little about yourself, Julian? Actually, here's what I want everyone to do. Think of two things you want other people to know about you." She asked who came from the Beecher lower school? It was about half and half. Julian went first, saying, "Oh, okay. So my name is Julian. And the number one thing I'd like to tell everyone about myself is that... I just got Battleground Mystic for my Wii and it's totally awesome. And the number two thing is that we got a Ping pong table this summer."
"Very nice, I love Ping-Pong," Said Ms. Petosa. "Does anyone have any questions for Julian?"
"Is Battleground Mystic multiplayer or one player." Miles said. Ms. Petosa called Charlotte next. "My name is Charlotte. I have two sisters, and we just got a new puppy named Suki in July. We got her from an animal shelter and she's so, so cute!"
"That's great, Charlotte, thank you," said Ms. Petosa, "Okay, then, Who's next? How about you Phoebe?"
"Ummm.... Okay.... I'm Phoebe, I have a bunny named Mr. Snuggles. And I love dinosaurs." Phoebe stated.
"What's your favorite kind of dinosaur, Phoebe?" Ms. Petosa said.
"A triceratops." Phoebe said.
Phoebe was sitting in her seat, trying to listen to everyone, but then her mother's strange behavior popped into her head and it was all she could think about. The bell rang and the girl left to find her locker and go to her next class.__________
Okay, so Wonder was my favorite book, a few years ago, and the movie was good so I wanted to write a fanfic about it, if you couldn't tell it is slightly a Jack Will fanfic, seeing as they are ten. Also Mackenzie Foy is portraying Phoebe.
