 books and cleverness | i like you a latte
Although he was not a sociable person, Max did not mind attending the start-of-term feast. For one thing, unlike the previous year, he did not have to stand in front of hundreds of older students to try on an ugly hat. He took the empty seat next to Lisa, glad to see a familiar face after the long summer. Then he realised that he had unintentionally also placed himself near some of the popular older kids. He blinked, and smiled a bit awkwardly at everyone. "Hi."
So ... what were they talking about? Summer? Speech? He could give this socialising thing a try.
