Description of Curtis:

One of Bri's classmates. When the reader first meets Curtis, Bri doesn't like him. He's a tattletale and makes outrageous claims about all sorts of things, something he's done since elementary school. His claims often have to do with his mom, whom he insists is off doing something fantastic with celebrities when in actuality, she's in jail. Because of this, Curtis lives with his grandmother, Sister Daniels. This doesn't make Bri think any better of Curtis given that Bri’s Grandma and Sister Daniels are enemies.
