Ursula Riggs: One of the main characters.
Ursula Riggs also known as Ugly Girl, is the average unpopular girl that gets talked about but Ursula really doesn't care about what people think about her. One thing about Ursula is that she hated to lose. She is a star athlete at Rocky River High School, she plays for the girls basketball team. She is the player who puts in the most work on the team, shes the one who scores the most points. Every time she loses she throws herself under the bus. Even her teammates and fans of the team feel let down by her.

They became best friends.(Round Character)
Reverend Brewer is the twins dad Muriel and Miriam. He called the high school about Matt saying he wanted to blow up and massacre as many people as possible in the school because he was spiteful because Matt got the twins kicked out of school in the past.

Trevor Cassity was a good friend of Matt but switched up when he heard the rumor about what Matt said. So Trevor stopped being Matt's friend. Almost to the end of the book he stole Matt's dog to make him mad, after that they were no longer friends.
Matt Donaghy: One of the main characters
Matt Donaghy aka Big Mouth is that person that is most known for being the class clown that everyone laughs at. Making people laugh was one of Matt's favorite things to do. Another thing Matt loved to do was write, he wrote for the school paper and he even had one of his writings published in a column of the New York Times paper. One thing about Matt is that he may be a clown but he is very smart Matt is described as a top student. In the book Matt is wrongly accused of saying that he was going to blow up the school and massacre as many people as possible in the school. He was suspended from school for 3 days. The whole situation was really hard to go through but Matt was a strong person and he was able to over come it. He didn't let the situation change who he was, he still did the things he loved and tried to keep his head up throughout the story. He also had a good heart and he is very understanding. I remember when i was reading the story , Matt had gotten invited to a few parties, but they told him not to bring Ursula and he said that if he couldn't bring her then he doesn't want to come at all and that he'd rather go somewhere with her instead. Matt had much respect for Ursula and he cared about her a lot.. Throughout the book you will be able to see the different sides of Matt's personality you'll find out that he is a very goofy character, he even cracked a few jokes as the agents interrogated him. He was not taking it seriously and he was being sarcastic. It seems like Matt is the books comedian. You will also notice that Matt is very caring and forgiving. The way he cared for Ursula and his family even though they made him mad sometimes. (Round Character)
