There's Something about Ray

Yuppers this is my first RFR story (and also my first ever story). So it's not a Trily fanfic for sure cuz Ray's my fav character. Sorry to all you Trily fans out there! :'( So maybe it'll be a Rily fanfic but I'm not sure yet so blah.

Anyways I don't own RFR and this story isn't for profit so read on!

Author's Notes – Italics mean Ray's thoughts.

Chapter 1 – Strange Occurrences

"Yes! The weekend is finally here! It sure took its time coming eh?" a dark skinned teenage boy leaped up in the air for enthusiasm. He was speaking only to another boy with short curly locks of light brown hair.

"Hey Ray," the curly haired teen greeted the dark skinned teen, now known as Ray, "what did you get on the History test?" Ray was about to reply when pretty blonde haired girl entered the conversation. Her green eyes transfixed on Ray's uncomfortable smile.

"You didn't fail did you?" she smiled and flipped back her long blonde hair only to hear someone spitting it out behind her.

"Did you change your brand of shampoo Lily?" A blonde haired boy emerged from behind Lily's back. He chuckled to himself as a bright red blush crept its way into Lily's cheeks.

"Hey swami, how goes it?" Ray seemed relieved for a topic change. The blonde haired boy looked slightly annoyed.

"It goes fine Ray, but I told you that my name isn't swami it's Travis!" The curly haired boy intervened.

"Hey Lily, let's grab a slice at Mickey's before the staring contest between Travis and Ray gets ugly." Lily smiled,

"Sure Robbie! Hey guys," she turned to Travis and Ray, "let me now who wins okay?" Ray and Travis continued to glare at each other, but they both nodded.

Ray punted a stone as he walked towards 'The Underground' where his friends were broadcasting RFR, muttering under his breath,

"Stupid Travis!" For some reason Ray was angry with himself and he didn't even know why. He turned onto an empty street. In fact he was blinded so much by his anger that he didn't notice a rather old lady ambling weakly right towards him. WHAM!! They collided.

"Ouch!" Ray rubbed his head. "Hey ma'am I'm really sorry 'bout that." He helped the elderly lady to her feet. In return she whacked him over the back with her cane and started screeching in a hoarse voice,

"No manners!! You have no manners!! A girl is much better with manners than a boy!!" She closed her eyes and snapped her fingers twice. Ray heard her murmuring underneath her breath. He caught three words: "change", "girl" and "first sneeze".

"Geez! Some people need to lighten up!" he strided off and called over his shoulder, "Go to a comedian lady! There are tons of shows you can see for cheap!" Ray marched on but he neither noticed the old lady smiling at him nor heard her last few sentences spoken out of pure wicked amusement,

"It will be all arranged Ray. No one will be able to tell you apart. You'll be right at home!! No one messes with Madame Helga and gets away with it!"

Ray ran through the empty halls of Roscoe High. He was exasperated.

"Man! Waller's going to have my head for this one! I'm LATE!!" He skidded to a halt in front of History class. Everyone in the class stopped working. Some looked up with mild humour in their eyes. Others looked up at him with surprise. Some even shook their heads. Ray calmly walked to his seat beside Travis.

"Swami? What are we supposed to be doing?" However, at that very moment Mr. Waller snuck up behind Ray and yelled,

"DETENTION!!" This made both Ray and Travis jump in surprise along with half of the class. Ray turned bravely to face Mr. Waller and he stuck out his tongue.

"Bite me." He said in a silky voice. The class laughed. Mr. Waller's face turned purple in his rage.

"Mr. Brennan, you just earned yourself extra homework. Copy out page 367 in the text book, and I want a full 1000 word essay on the War of 1812." Ray sighed. His tiny drop of glory wasn't worth the price. He soon found himself glowering out of History and trudging to his next class: Math with Mrs. Pitt, the human mouse.

Mrs. Pitt spoke so softly to her class that one had to put a megaphone towards her mouth to make sense of what she was trying to say. Ray was praying for lunch when she asked the boy beside him a question.

"Gavin," she whispered, "what is the equation of a line?" Ray strained his ears to hear her and stifled a giggle when he looked at Gavin, who was trying to make sense of what Mrs. Pitt had asked him. He just looked up stupidly and snorted.

"The Linear equation is y equals mx plus b." Ray declared.

"Very good Mr. Brennan, but I don't recall calling upon you to answer. That just cost you a detention for talking out of turn." Ray's face reassembled that of a person who was sucking on a lemon. The bell rang signalling lunch. Everyone in the class stormed out, even Ray couldn't help but be happy.

"This day officially stinks!" Ray complained to Robbie, who smiled.

"I heard that you got two detentions. So you can't make it today?" Ray bit his lip. His face turned a nasty red colour as he plugged his nose.

"Ray! What are you doing?!" Lily's voice had a sudden edge to it.

"Can't ... sneeze!" he huffed in between breaths. In a split second he was back to normal. All three of his friends looked at him in concern.

"What was that all about?" Ray smiled and replied

"Just my usual Ray-ness!" Travis, Robbie and Lily all lifted their eyebrows sarcastically.

"Okay Ray whatever." They all got up and started to leave. Ray remained rooted to the spot.

Why didn't I let myself sneeze? It wasn't because of that stupid old lady was it? I don't know why I did it and I don't want the gang to know that I, Ray Brennan, is holding sneezes because of an old lady.
