Friends and Enemies
Curtis' best friend is Gunk, a caucasian, cross-eyed, magical boy, who comes from a faraway, fictional place called Flyspeck Island. Gunk would visit with Curtis once in a while, but he's not without his pet Flyspeck Island chameleon who tags along for the ride and make Curtis' life miserable with his highly mischievous antics.
Curtis often tangles with his three adversaries, Mrs. Nelson, Derrick, and "Onion". Mrs. Nelson is his teacher who is at odds with him for his antics, his bad grades, and his daydreaming. Derrick and "Onion" are bullies who call Curtis "Wimpkins" and plagued him with Yo' Mama jokes as well as forcefully extorting him of his lunch money.

Famous quotes containing the words friends and/or enemies:
““... Friends make pretense of following to the grave,
But before one is in it, their minds are turned
And making the best of their way back to life
And living people, and things they understand.
But the world’s evil. I won’t have grief so
If I can change it. Oh I won’t, I won’t!””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I will not adopt that ungenerous and impolitic custom so common with novel writers, of degrading by their contemptuous censure the very performances, to the number of which they are themselves adding—joining with their greatest enemies in bestowing the harshest epithets on such works, and scarcely ever permitting them to be read by their own heroine, who, if she accidentally take up a novel, is sure to turn over its insipid leaves with disgust.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
