He becomes friendly with a cute girl named Tori Williams, but his pants fall down when he gets the courage to ask her for her phone number.

Eventually, David begs the elderly woman to remove the curse, but she asks for her cane to be returned first.

David finally decides to fight for his dignity, and, with his friends and little brother by his side, he goes to face Roger's gang and get the cane back, not suspecting that many things, including the curse, are not as they seem.

The aunt is not a witch and there was no curse but David was feeling so bad that sub-consciously he does the things to himself that had happened to the old lady.

At the end of the book, 150 years later, a boy named Willy, who is similarly bullied, idolizes David, who is now a famous historical figure.
