Eddie is one of the seventh-grade bullies from another school that August and Jack encounter at their camp's outdoor movie. He plays up his "fear" of August, rips August's sweatshirt, and even keeps August's hearing aids as a trophy of sorts. Though Eddie is later found out, August chooses to not press charges.
