Kenzi Thompson
Simeon is Kenzi’s best friend and the biggest kid in his class. Though he’s friendly and jokes with everyone, it’s also implied that everyone likes Simeon in part because it’s just a bad idea to annoy or offend anyone Simeon’s size. A jokester and a born performer, Simeon is able to convince Ms. Wockley to not get him in trouble for carrying Kenzi through the hallways. He suggests that he’d like to be an actor someday, and he fully supports Kenzi’s dream of becoming a lawyer. A caring and empathetic person, Simeon dedicates a lot of his time to protecting Kenzi and making him feel supported. His brother, Chucky, stole a car a few years ago, but Kenzi’s brother went to prison for the theft—and the boys still perform their brothers’ secret handshake.
