a new kid at Clark Elementary who has a little brother, Cody. Rufus has a farm-boy type accent. In the beginning of this book you can't tell they are poor, and the book doesn't directly say it, but you can infer they are poor, like the way they share the same shirt. Throughout the book, Kenny tries not to be their friends because it will make him "uncool," and also be made fun of. Even though deep down inside Kenny actually likes them. Kenny felt so bad for them, so he shared his lunch with him. Rufus eventually becomes Kenny's best friend.
