Max rolled his eyes when he saw how fast James removed the glasses from their perch on his nose. [i]“Why not just keep them on? Did they get thicker by the way? Ah man I’ve been fine; the family spent the summer in the Swedish archipelago at our summer house.”[/i] He said and hugged James back. He followed the direction that James was pointing in [i]“Yeah, that’s fine!”[/i] Max said as he opened the door to throw his bags in to the room, he would unpack later.

He saw the letter that James was brandishing in his hands and sighed [i]“Yeah I know I’ve been emailing with Acacia for weeks now, I’ve gone over the budget for it like a hundred times! The council keeps adding more and more things, then again it’s not like we don't have the funds for it though.”[/i] Max shrugged and nodded [i]“Yeah let’s go!”[/i] he said as they walked out of the apartment.

[u][b]Sunday[/b][/u]

The first week rushed by real quick, planning and getting ready for the picnic kept all of the members of the student council busy for most of the day all week. This of course included Max which had been put in charge of all of the purchases needed for all the activities, which he found to be a nuisance and taking away from his reading time. Today was the most hectic day of them all since everything needed to be perfect Acacia wouldn’t have it any other way and Max was not one to go against her word? So he had spent the day setting up tables, putting together the dunk tank and making sure everything was paid for.

Finally Max had gotten to sit down after delegating the last of the chores to some of the junior members of the council. He was sitting at the food table which they had set up under a big oak tree, so that it could be kept cool in the shade. He had taken the opportunity to get some reading done of the book he had started “Charlotte Street” by Danny Wallace, Max had gotten in to reading books that was about ordinary life, and people with real troubles he found it fascinating. 

Just as he was about to get to the end of the chapter he herd the rattling of trays, he looked up and saw Acacia coming down the lawn with trays of cupcakes in her hands. Max closed his book and put it back in his bag and threw it back against the oak tree, he stood up and rushed over to help her carry one of the trays. [i]“Let me get that for you!”[/i] He said as they walked together towards the picnic table. He set the tray down and surveyed the spread [i]“Wow Ace, you’ve really outdone yourself this time.”[/i] He said and raised his eyebrows in admiration and sat back down. The courtyard was starting to fill up with students some new some who had been here for a week like he had, he turned to face Acacia again[i] “Hey, you know what would be fun? If we could get Principal Aldrin on the dunk tank! Do you think he’d do it?”[/i] He chuckled and stretched his limbs out which were tired from all the manual labor.
