Gregory “Greg” Pitts
Remy is described as a boy at Latimer Middle School who could easily be popular—if he stopped trying so hard to be popular. He idolizes his older brother, Justin, and takes Justin’s advice on how to woo girls to heart, despite the fact that his friend Candace regularly tells him Justin has no idea how to impress a girl. He’s friends with Bryson, but his best friends are Candace, Gregory, and Joey. He supplies the body spray in “How a Boy Can Become a Grease Fire” that is supposed to make Gregory smell better before he asks Sandra for her number. He’s a supportive friend, if dramatic and cheesy.

9. How a Boy Can Become a Grease Fire Quotes
Gregory Pitts’s friends love him so much that they told him the truth. And the truth was, he smelled dead. Like, rotten. It wasn’t that he was rotten, but just that he smelled like his body had mistaken its organs for garbage and that he was essentially a walking, talking trash can. And on this, of all days, that smell just wasn’t going to cut it. So in an act of service and sheer desperation, Remar Vaughn, Joey Santiago, and Candace Greene—Gregory’s crew—decided to help him out. Because today was a day of romance.
