Character Description- Eric Calhoune is the main character in the story. He used to be overwight and didnt really have any friends except Sarah Byrnes, because they were both considered outcasts. Eventually Eric lost weight by joining the swim team, and gained friends as a result, (such as Steve Ellerby.) Eric has a very up-front personality and speaks his mind, but in an intelligent way.
Sarah Byrnes is also a main character in the book, she has burns all over her face and hands supposedly from spaghetti, but people are determined to proove otherwise. She is a very strong girl with an upfront personality.
Steve Ellerby has been Eric's good friend since they met on the swim team. He has been very loyal to Eric and it seems like the two of them will be friends for a long time to come.
Jody Miller is Eric's Highschool crush. Although she comes off as not having much of an opinion on anything, Eric sees something special about her, and thats all that matters.
