A/N: Honestly it's like I only update every month. XD Do you ever start a story and then tumblr happens or school. I am easily distracted or my thoughts stray and I don't know what to write. Anyway, thanks for reviews as usual. They are always appreciated.

Disclaimer: I don't own Lemonade Mouth or any of the characters. If I did, Rayella would be on like Donkey Kong.

When Ray woke up that morning, his head was pounding. He groaned and pulled the pillow over his head. It was just going to be one of those days. It happened pretty frequently. He would wake up, realize he felt like crap, and come to the decision that he was going to be skipping school. He heard his phone ding beside him and let out a groan in response. "Why," He cursed under his breath. He grabbed it, and looked to see who had texted him.

Evil Succubus

You're late. What is it? Couldn't keep up with me in our massive jam session last night?

Ray rolled his eyes, but smiled none the less. Stella was such a nerd but she was cool. He just never gave her a chance because he was a total douchebag and then he was jealous. All new things he was starting to realize, but things he would never admit out loud. Especially not to Stella. He didn't want to feed her massive ego.

You wish. It was you that couldn't keep up with me.

He turned around so he was laying on his back, and staring up at the ceiling. Stella was actually turning into a pretty good friend, which was actually strange because two weeks ago she was his enemy. Oh how things could change. He heard his phone ding again, and opened up their message thread.

Evil Succubus

I think you're delusional. No seriously, where are you? Everything okay?

It astounded him how quickly she could go from painstakingly sarcastic to painfully serious. A week ago he would have thought it was incredibly annoying, and wished she would stay out of his business. Now it was different. He appreciated that she was worried. A lot of people didn't get him. For a while, Stella didn't get him at all. Now she was starting to understand him and he was starting to understand her. When he walked into the fake-dating gimmick he never thought anything would change. He figured they would fake date, fake break up, and then go back to hating each other. Ray didn't think he could go back to hating Stella after they ended their faux relationship.

Everything's cool. Have a headache. Try not to miss me too much.

Within seconds he heard his phone ding again.

Evil Succubus

Shouldn't be too hard.

Ray just chuckled, and turned his phone off. He didn't want to be bothered on his day off.

…

Obviously that wasn't going to happen. He vaguely felt someone patting him on his back and saying his name through his sleepy stupor. He let out a yawn and swatted the hand away "Super tired Stella. Come back later." He wasn't even sure how long he'd slept. An hour or so probably.

"Who's Stella? Does my little brother have a girlfriend? That's awesome."

Ray heard that clearly. He sat up quickly, ignoring the pain it sent to his head. Yeah that head ache was still pretty bad. "No. What the hell are you doing here, Mason?" He rubbed the back of his head, and got up to change.

"Well, you've been ignoring my texts. So I figured I would show up and surprise you after school. I didn't really expect to see you passed out in bed, but whatever," Mason explained, finishing with a shrug.

Ray stared at him for a second, and continued to grab his jacket and bag. "Yeah, well. I'm going to school."

"Ray, come on," Mason started. Ray didn't stick around to listen. He stormed out of the house and to his car. Once he started to drive, he actually stopped to think. He was probably being irrational. It wasn't Mason's fault that he got all of their parent's affection. And it wasn't even like Ray needed the affection. Honestly it was the last thing Ray needed. As long as he had food and shelter he was good. Either way, Mason still made Ray furious and Ray didn't even know why.

He pulled into the school, and parked. He took a second to breathe before climbing out. Maybe Stella would know what to do.

Stella had prepared herself for a Ray free day (which she discovered pretty quickly was completely boring), so she was thoroughly shocked when she saw Ray storming down the hall towards her and Charlie.

"Hey Ray," Charlie said as the blonde approached. "I heard you were feeling under the weather."

Ray nodded curtly "Yeah, I am but I didn't want to miss school." Lie. "And I needed to talk to Stella." Probably the truth. He wrapped his arm around Stella's waist, keeping up their act in front of Charlie.

Charlie nodded "Well I need to go meet Lucy. See you guys." He turned to leave, twirling a drum stick in one hand. Ray let out a sigh and ran a hand over his face.

"You look like crap, Ray. What's going on," Stella demanded. She knew that Ray wouldn't have showed up at school unless it was an emergency, and by the look on his face it was a huge emergency.

"So my brother, Mason, showed up this morning. Hell, I thought it was you waking me up but no it was just him. He said-"

"You thought I came to your house during school? Were you high," Stella interrupted, laughing a little bit.

Ray scowled "Whatever, Yamada. I was half asleep. Point is he's there and I don't him to be there. What do I do?"

"…Tell him to leave," Stella said slowly. She didn't think it was a novel concept.

Ray just stared at her blankly. She snorted "Okay, fine. How about I come home with you and more or less make him leave."

"How are we going to do that," Ray asked, sounding skeptical.

Stella just smirked. "If your little brother came home with his 'special lady', would you want to stick around for their hot day in?"

Ray stared at her for a long second, and slowly a smirk crept onto his face. "You are brilliant."

A/N: Stopped it there because I don't know. Obviously this is a filler. Very sorry. I'm trying so hard to be a better writer. Looking at a whole bunch of tips lately, trying to take in information for next time I decide to start a story. I really wish I could write. Really badly. Anyway. Sorry this is so short. I had plenty planned out and then this kind of happened and yeah.
