HSMTMS RJ CASWEN: SUMMER CAMP SEASON 3

Part 9: Who Was At The Door?

Big Red had noticed that RIcky had been off this whole summer. He figured it was the breakup with Nini or his parents divorced or even his awkward dates with Gina, but what he didn't expect was that it was an older, water polo, camp counselor that was causing him to be off (well he sort of did).

Once they were at camp, Big Red saw how close Ricky and EJ were becoming. At first, he didn't expect anything of it, he just thought they were making amends of their hatred towards each other. But when Ricky texted Big Red that he was sleeping over in EJ's room, Big Red suspected something else was brewing between the two.

Big Red had a feeling about Ricky's sexuality when he noticed how many times RIcky kept on staring at EJ during both HSM and Beauty and the Beast. He figured it was hatred coming from the skater boy, but then started to notice that it was actually heart eyes at the water polo player. So when Big Red saw them kissing in EJ's room, he was taken back a little. He didn't think the two would actually go through with their relationship, but they did, and Ricky didn't tell his best friend about it.

"WHAT THE- WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Big Red said in shock, witnessing Ricky and EJ making out with each other.

Ricky and EJ froze in place. They didn't hear the door open behind them as they were kissing.

"I-uh I can explain!" Ricky tried to say, but it was too late. Big Red was already out of the door frame and was heading back to his room.

"I gotta go after him" Ricky said to EJ

"GO! It's okay, we will continue this later" EJ said with a smirk on his face, giving Ricky one final kiss on the check. "Let me know how it goes"

"Thanks, EJ. You're the best. I'll tell you tomorrow!" Ricky said to EJ as he was leaving the older boy's room, running, trying to catch up with Big Red.

Back at the two skater boy's room, Big Red was laying in his bed with his headphones on scrolling through his phone.

"He- Hey" Ricky said to Big Red nervously. No answer.

Ricky noticed Big Red's headphones and took them off of him

"Dude, what the hell!" Big Red said

"Can we talk?" Ricky said in a quiet tone.

"Why? Your boyfriend had to sleep, so now you come crawling back to your sad, lonely best friend" Big Red was hurt.

"Dude, c'mon. Don't be like that. You know you're my best friend and that I love spending time with you"

"Am I your best friend?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ricky was confused. What's with Big Red's attitude all of a sudden. "Did I do something wrong?"

"The fact that you were just making out with EJ right now, the person who you HATED a few months ago. And didn't have the audacity to tell your best friend about it? Then I had to go and find out about you two from Ashlynn!" Big Red said fuming now.

"Ashlynn?! I can't believe she said something!" Ricky was now getting upset too.

"NO, Don't be mad at her! I practically had to beg her to find out what was going on with you, since you weren't talking to me anymore! You were running off to Gina or Ash or EJ. This was our last summer of highschool together, I thought it would be fun to hangout with my bro" Big Red said, defeated now.

" Oh Red" Ricky went over to hug his best friend. "I'm sorry dude. Everything kind of happened so fast these last few weeks, that I didn't even know what was going on."
