B.u.g. Big Ugly Guy (9781101593523) (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
(Big Ugly Guy) 3. Nurse, Hearse, and . . . There was only one other person at the table, a dark-haired eighth-grade girl with a long face and a deep dimple in her cheek. Sammy had never had the courage to speak to her. She was as much a loner as he, but it didn’t seem to trouble her. In fact, she wore that aloneness like a badge. Her name—he whispered it under his breath—was Julia Nathanson. It had a softness to it that he liked. He didn’t even dare ask if they could sit with her, but she nodded at them anyway, the tips of her straight hair coming together to veil her face, hiding the dimple. “This is good,” Skink said, his voice straining through the pain. They sat down and Sammy shared what was on his plate. They began to eat slowly, as if nothing was wrong or changed, though everything was wrong and at the same time changed beyond recognition. Several seventh graders—Bobby Marstall and another boy and a girl Sammy didn’t recognize at all—came over and tried to sit down with them, but Sammy waved them off.
