Student council officers were voted on last school year. The official positions are: Me President Charles Hampton Vice President Tasha Walker Secretary Joey Matthews Historian Rachel Martin Treasurer So when Vince and Bags walk into the student council meeting, Charles turns to me and says, “Are they serious?” He shakes his head in disapproval—and maybe disgust. Principal Green begins our meeting, saying, “I’ve opened it up to other students to join our student council meetings. Even though they don’t have official titles, they will help plan events this year and support our officers. I thought it would be nice to add some diversity to the group.” Principal Green writes the agenda on chart paper and says, “We’ll get started shortly.” I look around the room. Vince, Bags, Cynthia, and Tony have joined us. I whisper under my breath to Charles, “This is going to be interesting.” Ever since freshman year, Vince and Bags have been known as the king and prince of practical jokes.
