Ernie was undeniably the most prominent student in the whole movie. Ernie kind of reminded me of myself as a child but without the glasses or the hairstyle.

He was a sweet but not-so- popular kid and he befriends Billy, despite not really having much reason to, LOL. Well besides him being rich…

His most memorable moment was when he accidentally had an accident on a field trip and Billy saved the day by pretending he did too and making the other kids believe that it was what the cool kids were doing.

While he was only Billy’s classmate for 2 weeks, he does stay his supporter for the entire film.
