Keith "Two-Bit" Mathews
- Gender:
- Male

Two-Bit is the joker of the gang: he doesn't take life seriously, and to him, everything is one big joke. He isn't school smart, and has redone junior year twice, but he loves school. He shoplifts, and has never been caught, and takes pride in his black handled switchblade, which he couldn't have acquired without his first "talent". He's got a known reputation as a playboy, but when dating a girl, it's easy to see the love in his eyes. He is Katherine's best friend, and would do anything for her. *Character portrayed by Emilio Estevez.
