what was the deal with Ray??


he's ragging on Chase for letting Nicole dress him yet he's obviously friends with Nicole...trying to get her to listen to new bands and music and asking if she'd like to go to prom..

I think Ray formed a friendship with her during this process...He did most of his ragging at the beginning of the experiment when there was still a division between "popular kids" and "rebels".

Plus, at that age, you bag on your friends for the fun of it. If it was not the Nicole thing, it would be something else...It is all in good fun and I am sure Chase was not the least bit bothered by it.

They weren't Friends, just acquaintances. He exposed her to The Electrocutes to get them booked for the Centennial dance (not Prom). Remember Nicole being part of the Centennial Commitee? He asked her to the dance probably the day before it was happening since neither of them had dates, and he had a thing for her.

Just Blue Sweeeeeeet!

I think Ray and Nicole did become friends. But Ray didn't pretend to be something he wasn't to hang out with Nicole, whereas in the beginning of their "scam," Chase was mostly trying to fit into Nicole's world and leaving his friends and interests behind. So I think Ray just wanted Chase to be himself, and it wasn't anything against Nicole.
