He goes through a couple people who he thinks are his best friends but only the reader realizes that those people are really trying to avoid him. Zinkoff doesn't notice though! He lets things roll off of him and he still likes everyone. He is now seen as the weird kid who is horrible at sports, fails at school, can't play any instrument and is annoying. Kids nickname him "loser" and so that is what he is called. Zinkoff has always been there, since kindergarten, but now he is noticed. He is always the kids that makes his peers laugh.

He laughs easily (at everything) he loves school, he doesn't care what people think about him, he wants to please everyone but does things because he likes to not because he has to.
