Greg’s classmate Chirag Gupta unexpectedly returns to school. Chirag’s family moved away during the summer, but Greg figures they decided to return. Greg decides to pull a prank and pretend that Chirag is invisible, which confuses and upsets Chirag. Greg gets the entire class in on the joke, and he thinks he “might have Class Clown in the bag for dreaming this one up” (54). Greg explains that he doesn’t get the chance to pick on people too often, so he has to capitalize on this joke for as long as he can. Greg got the idea for the “Invisible Chirag” joke from his mother, who once pretended she couldn’t see Greg when he was hiding under the kitchen table. At school, Chirag decides to target Rowley, who isn’t as good at lying as the other kids. Chirag tries to get Rowley to admit that he can see Chirag, but Greg intervenes. Chirag becomes increasingly upset about the joke and complains to a teacher. Greg is called into the office and forced to apologize, but the vice principal misidentifies another student as Chirag, and Greg apologizes to a student named Sharif instead.
