| — Mr. Nern to Greg after he presses the button on the Find a Friend Station | ||
Mr. Nern is a man who appears in Hard Luck.
He is a history teacher at Larry Mack Junior Middle School who always goes to the Find A Friend Station when someone pushes the button. He is quite friendly and optimistic, and tries to make all the students feel happier. He goes there when Greg pushes the button and asks to be his friend. Greg reluctantly agrees to play checkers with him, and when he lends Greg his oversized shoes after Greg got dog poop on one, Greg hopes he doesn't have to keep playing checkers with Mr. Nern. He is last seen going to Rowley Jefferson after he got dumped by Abigail Brown and presumably played checkers with Rowley as well. He also is the teacher of the Board Game Club.
