Our first encounter with a bully

There was a big party at Ozone Saturday night, very festive, held in the big park in the center of the community.
During the evening, Erik came upon Auggie standing in the middle of the street crying. Erik asked what happened and August told him a boy, "Tony" kicked him, punched him, and scratched him.
Erik went up to Tony's father to get his side of the story. Tony said when he came upon Auggie, Auggie was already in the middle of the street crying. He had done nothing.
Erik asked Auggie more questions about the incident and August's version never waivered.
Tony's father said his son is a very mild mannered boy and would never do anything like that.

For the rest of the evening August kept saying how he didn't want to see Tony and how Tony had hurt him.

Then a friend of ours, who is 9, said Tony is in her class and he's a horrible bully.
Poor Auggie.
