Max Boulregard

Max is Harold and Lauren's son. His first apparance is at the end of Chapter 2: The Birth where he is droped down the chimney as a baby by a stork.

Personality/Appearance
Max is really short with dark brown (almost black) hair and big blue eyes. He's fairly careless and tends to do a lot of things without thinking. He's the one of the few characters in Apple that isn't afraid to break the fourth wall and proves this with a number of times in conversation. Most notably he'll criticize phantom130 5's writing or refer to chapters as a measure of time. (Example "That happened five chapters ago"). Max is incredibly trusting and easily mislead. In chapter 75 he decided to help Karly out without being tricked. So basically he's either incredibly stupid beyond belief or he's a prick. He seems to have an immense love for Taylor Swift and anything related to Pokemon.

In chapter 36 Jane talks with Max about some of her earliest memories with him. So far this is the only time we've ever heard about Max's childhood aside from his introduction as a baby in chapter 2. Jane recalls her and Max being best friends. They'd play with Hot-wheels together and one day while playing house Max proposed to her with a dandelion. Max eventually stopped spending time with Jane and chose Toshiro over her. However, Max's earliest memories were with Toshiro and he claims Mav (a person Jane claims is imaginary) spent time with Jane instead.

History
Max's story starts on December 13 1996 when a stork carries him as a baby down the chimney. Lauren and Harold don't know how the baby was taken by a stork but they decide to raise him anyways. The next part of Max's past is shrouded in mystery mainly because he tends not to talk about it. In grade school Jane says she remembers playing with Max a lot as kids. Then he slowly seemed to forget about her and hung out with Toshiro instead who he's still friends with to this day. Max says that Jane is remembering Mav but Jane claims Mav is Max's imaginary friend.

On March 28 2012 Max meets Teresa and experiences his first crush. She finds him weird and tries to avoid him as much as possible. At the end of the day, Max follows Teresa out school. He is joined by Toshiro and Anita who try their best to keep Max from doing anything too irrational. The group is too late though and Teresa misses the bus home. The group walks home together but since Teresa tells them not to say anything they keep quiet and let her get lost in the woods. While in the woods Max has a heart-to-heart talk with Teresa and the two become friends even though their parents are enemies.

On March 29 2012 Max is still lost in the woods and meets Curtis, another boy living out there. The two become fast friends and eventually finds his way back home.

On June 8 2012 Max's parents adopt Curtis without telling him.

On June 12 2012 Max is kidnapped by a giant magical creature that looks something like a wooden manikin.These things are called F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and are from the Magic World. They are used to grant the user one wish and then can't be used. While tied up, he talks with his captor Jane. Jane wonders why Max doesn't seem to remember how close they were before. The two fight about Mav and eventually Max is rescued by Teresa.

On October 2 2012 Jane confesses to Max and Max makes it clear that he doesn't have similar feelings for her.
