DAYRAY SCREENSHOT HEADCANON
THE HEADCANON: RayRay's only there because Derek is.
As we can see here in this lil ss, we have Derek and RayRay sitting next to each other on a bench (from The C Team S3)
They both are wearing the baseball uniform for Coach Dopkins' team. Derek is rightfully wearing it because he's one of, if not, the best hitter that Coach Dopkins had in the lineup.
• RayRay, however.... ☠️
Prior to the game, RayRay did NAWT show up to the practice line-up which I assume is a mandatory attendance matter considering it's DOPKINS we're talking about. he is strict as hell
missing / being late to practice was NOT an option considering these poor kids already knew the consequences of the doing the LITTLEST things under the command of the coach.... and RayRay knew this first-hand
Idk much of how baseball works, but considering these aspects and the fact that Dopkins keeps messing with his lineup to put the best hitters on the spot, I think it's safe to assume that RayRay was a last-minute volunteer to be part of his baseball team as a placeholder to qualify for the game.
they weren't even trying to be slick with it RAYRAY DID NOT EVEN APPEAR ONCE ON THE FIELD !!!😭☠️
that's cuz he didn't need to know how to play, didn't need the strategies or the plans-- he just needed to wear the uniform and sit on the bench, which is cheating. Which wouldn't have bothered him at all considering 1. he's a bully, and 2. one of his best friends (Derek) was there.
Why did he accept to be the placeholder if he was just gonna sit there? Surely he had better things to do, right? Skateboarding, terrorizing the town with Narin (the emo guy), playing video games at home... literally doing ANYTHING else to make good use of no school
Well... the answer COULD be that he did it for Derek. just to sit by him and watch him play. Romantic or not, these guys love each other's company no matter what the hell they're doing; including watching the other play baseball while one is benched the entire game
+ hanging at the skatepark with no skateboards ??? who needs skateboards when they got each other i guess☠️
