(dark, depressing) MCSM ONE SHOTS!🖤

True Colors

Jesse hid in the corner of the gymnasium as happy couple's bounced around to the beat of music. She never really liked big crowds or bright lights but tonight she was forced by Axel and Olivia to watch both...

"Oh, come on. At least act like you're having fun." Axel leaned up against the wall beside Jesse with Olivia not far behind.

"You know I'm not, guys..." Jesse looked up at Axel and frowned.

"I'm sorry I made you come, Jesse." Olivia sat down next to her.

"It's okay-"

"Oh, man..." Axel looked over at the dance floor as the song changed.

"What's wrong, Axel?" Olivia stood up and looked at him, confused.

"This is our song, Liv." He looked at her with sad eyes and then looked at Jesse.

"You guys go." She stood up. "Go have fun. I'll be fine."

"Ugh, thanks, Jesse." Olivia hugged her. "You're the best." She grabbed Axel's hand and led him onto the dance floor.

"Yeah..." Jesse leaned up against the wall and slowly slid down to the floor. "That's me. 'The best'..."

"Hey."

Jesse looked up to see a red-head in a blue and black suit standing beside her.

"Hi." Jesse avoided eye contact and looked back at the ground.

"You're...Jesse, right?" The red-head sat down next to her.

"Uh, yeah. How did you-" Jesse looked over at her and realized a blue bandana on her head.

"Oh, my gosh..." Jesse's jaw dropped. "You're Petra. You won the Warriors Championship for the girls last year!"

"Eh, not my biggest accomplishment." Petra shrugged.

"Are you kidding?" Jesse looked over at her. "Petra, you were awesome!"

"Yeah, well..." Petra looked at the ground. "That doesn't mean I always feel like it..." She fiddled the sleeve of her suit as a couple other girls looked her up an down in disgust.

"Who cares what other girls say?" Jesse put her hand on Petra's knee. "As long as you're being you..."

"Yeah..." Petra turned her head away from Jesse and began her foot.

"You with the sad eyes..."

Petra abruptly stopped tapping her foot as a new song began to play.

"Don't be discouraged..." Jesse began quietly singing along, keeping her hand on Petra's knee. Petra looked over at her as the song continued.

"Oh, I realize it's hard to take courage in a world full of people. You can lose sight of it all. The darkness inside you can make you feel so small..." Jesse stood up and extended her hand towards Petra.

"Do you wanna dance?" Jesse blurted out before she could stop herself.

"Sure..." Petra grabbed Jesse's hand and walked with her onto the dance floor.

"Show me a smile then..." Jesse continued singing as they began dancing in small circles.

"Don't be unhappy. Can't remember when I last saw you laughing. This world makes you crazy, and you've taken all you can bare. Just call me up and I will always be there."

Petra couldn't help but smile as Jesse continued swaying an singing with the music, making a slightly silly yet serious face. To be honest...she found it kind of cute.

"And I see your true colors shining through." Jesse continued.

"I see your true colors, and that's why I love you..." The silliness left Jesse's face as she said those last three words, looking into Petra's brown eyes. Petra froze for a second and looked at the ground before grabbing Jesse's hand and continuing the song.

"So don't be afraid..." She spun Jesse around.

"To let them show. Your true colors...true colors are beautiful..." They both sang along as they began to take over the dance floor, not taking their eyes off of each other.

"I see your true colors shining through. I see your true colors, and that's why I love you. So don't be afraid to let them show. Your true colors...true colors are beautiful, like a rainbow... Oh, like a rainbow."

Petra and Jesse stopped dancing, their hearts beating out of their chests.

"Jesse?.." Petra spoke as she looked into her green eyes.

"Yeah?" Jesse casually twirled a piece of Petra's hair through her fingers.

"I'm sorry..." Petra looked at the ground for a split second.

"For wha-?"

Jesse was cut off by Petra's lips smashing into hers, their tongues immediately colliding from Jesse's mouth being open. Petra pulled away and immediately started talking.

"I'm sorry! I know you're probably not gay and I messed up but-"

"Petra.." Jesse shook her head a little.

"Jesse, let me talk!" Petra yelled. Jesse stood up straight in shock and let Petra go.

"It's just... I've been feeling differently lately. Not...normal. Well, normal but...not. Anyway, I saw you in the hallway one day and I don't know if you were just having a really good day but ugh! You were just so beautiful and I-"

"Petra!" Jesse ran a hand through her hair and looked at the red-head.

"What?!" Petra got in Jesse's face.

"Two words." Jesse put her hand on the back of Petra's neck and smiled. "Shut. Up."

Jesse pressed her lips against Petra's as several people began to clap. Maybe the world was becoming more accepting...
