Spencer Zealot

Spencer Zealot is a major character in ''How to Survive High School. ''He is obsessed with video games, and doesn't really like to talk about anything else. He's genuinely friendly and well-disposed, and doesn't seem to ever really get mad at anyone. He is one of the least popular kids in school. Spencer has a crush on both of the most popular girls in school, Venice and Natalie, although neither of them finds him attractive. He is a frequent target of the jocks' bullying, and is starting his sophomore year of high school in Book 1.

Personality
Spencer is generally easy-going and laid-back. He rarely ever does his homework and prefers to spend most of his time playing video games or talking about video games. He is a friendly kid who will talk to just about anyone and doesn't hold any grudges, not even toward the jocks who constantly bully him. Most of the other characters have commented that video games seem to have fried his brain, since Spencer isn't very intelligent. He does, however, hold a vast amount of knowledge about all the latest consoles. Enthusiastic and helpful, Spencer is always willing to help others out.

Appearance
Spencer is African-American, with thick, unkempt, curly black hair and a large nose. He usually wears a purple t-shirt with a picture of an arcade game on it, khaki shorts, and sandals. He is chubby, having a similar body shape to Leo Smith.
