When Auggie is introduced to Mr. Tushman and everyone else, I think he feels very nervous/shy because he’s scared and worried about what people will think about his face and how he looks, and also because he’s meeting new people.

Auggie’s Laugh/Cry Feeling (Why)

I think that when Jack stared at Auggie and Aggie stared back, Auggie was having a bad day. When Auggie stared back he thought “I think Jack might become a good friend of mine” because Jack was being nice to Auggie and was standing up to Julian when Julian was bullying Auggie. So instead of crying, Auggie laughed.
