Ron Belkis

I was reading Stacey's Ex Best Friend, and at their sleepover Claudia says she thinks he's cute and that it's too bad he's in the seventh grade. Isn't this the same dude that wants to go out with her when she's sent back to seventh and she thinks he's a dork and rejects him? Interesting.

Anybody know if there any other books that mention him?

I don't remember him asking her out in 7th grade, but I could be wrong.

Ron WAS the second guy that Claudia claimed to like with a dorky name, though. Remember Arthur Feingold from #50?

Yep! I immediately thought of him when I read about Ron. ;D

I checked Dropout and here are some excerpts:

Ron has always had a little crush on me. Usually I just ignore him, mainly because he's a seventh-grader and I can't stand immature boys.

And Ron Belkis, who had been after me to go out with him, was dressed as a knight in not-so-shining (it was made out of cardboard, I think) armor.

This is so funny! I never noticed the Ron Belkin thing until you pointed it out, booboo. My personal theory is that maybe Claud thought he was cute, like he dressed decent and stuff, but had never really conversed with him. Then she gets sent back to 7th grade and BAM! Finds out that Ron Belkis is a nerd and the attractions wears off. I've had similar crushes where they're cute from afar and you get to know them and....*shudders*

I know what you mean! Always disappointing when that happens, haha.
