Duane Phelps

Duane Phelps is the longtime rival and enemy of Beckett Howell. Duane and Beckett have been rivals/enemies since they were both in Kindergarten. On that fateful day they became lifelong rivals, Duane had "borrowed" Beckett's colored pencils and he refused to give them back. He pushed Beckett when the latter tried to get the teacher to help retrieve the pencils and the boys got into a brief but intense fight in which Duane poked Beckett in the eye and kicked him and Beckett bit Duane and pushed him off the playground. Neither was seriously injured but Beckett was forced to spend the rest of the day in the Principal's office while Duane got to go to the barbeque the school was having for lunch. Ever since then the boys have had a history of revenge and rivalry.
