Leon Ricket

Leon Ricket is a character who appears in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw.

Leon is given detention for smashing a chair against a wasp that sat on the window in homeroom. Greg gets a detention for sleeping in class, and takes the only empty seat, which is in front of Leon. Leon starts bothering Greg by giving him wet willies and flicking his ear when Mr. Ray is not looking. Eventually, Leon gets careless, and is caught by Mr. Ray, who warns him he will be in trouble if he catches him touching Greg again. However, as soon as Mr. Ray turns around again, Greg, knowing that Leon would continue to bother him once Mr. Ray turned around and that he would be very careful to avoid being caught again, claps his hand together to make it seem Leon hit him and Leon is told he has to stay an extra half hour in detention and that he has detention the next day, as well.

Trivia

 * Leon is absent in the online book, and his actions are replaced by Kenny Keith.
 * The reason why Leon bothered Greg during detention is unknown. It is possible that Greg did something not specified to Leon earlier or that maybe when he gets detention, he always bothers the kid sitting in front of him.
 * Leon has likely gotten many detentions before, seeing that he got in trouble for "hitting" Greg. It clearly wasn't his first detention.
