My name is August. I will not tell you what I look like. I know I am not an ordinary(普通的) 10year- old kid. I mean, sure, I do ordinary things. I eat ice cream. I ride my bike. I play ball. I play computer games. I have a 14-year-old sister. Things like that make me ordinary. I guess. And I feel ordinary. But I know ordinary kids don't make the other ordinary kids run away screaming(尖叫) in the playgrounds. I know people don't look at ordinary kids for a long time whenever they go.

I want to get a magic lamp and have one wish. I want to have a normal face and no one notices me at all. I want to walk down the street without people seeing me and then looking away. Here's what I think: Why am I not ordinary? Because no one else sees me that way.
