Colorful [a hsmtmts fic]

"Cancelled"

Despite not being a part of picture day because Martha wasn't a main character, I went anyway. I decided to work on some of the set design.

"Saf!" I heard from across the hall. I turned around to see Seb running to me with killer pink makeup and a pink streak through his hair. He looked absolutely— dare I say— fabulous.

"You look amazing." I smiled brightly at him. "Who did your makeup?"

"Kourtney. Isn't it great?!" He jumped happily. He looked past me and smiled a little more. "I'm gonna go show Carlos." I nodded to him as he ran off. I looked around at everyone in their outfits and saw Ricky with a rather... mop-like wig on. I covered my mouth looking at him as he walked over flaunting his look.

"Well um- it's very Uh- very different." I tried my best to not laugh.

"It's very gross." He responded as I laughed lightly.

"Hey it's not the worst thing I've ever seen." I shrugged.

I continued to paint before I saw Rafael walk in. He went over to Gina and they hugged each other. I could only assume that things went well after Homecoming.

"Looks like things cleared up for them." Ricky commented making the same observations I was.

"Yeah looks like it." I smiled lightly before turning back to the painting. I was happy for Raf of course, but it sucked that he screwed me over with the ride situation and then basically got rewarded for it.

"All right everybody!" Carlos called out.

"That's my queue." Ricky smiled lightly to me as I nodded.

"Wait flip your hair one more time." I instructed him as he did it and I laughed lightly. "Perfect." I smiled to him before he ran off for the picture.

I continued to paint and I put my headphones on while I did. I danced lightly as I painted. While I was in my own little world I didn't notice the absolutely unorganized photo taking place right behind me.

I felt someone tap my shoulder and I turned to see Seb. "Hey girly."

"Pictures all done?" I asked as I started to clean my brush.

"Nope actually we haven't taken them. Did you not see Ricky run off?" He asked unsure.

I turned around. "No I did not what happened?" I asked curiously trying to spot Ricky to make sure he was okay. I didn't realize I had tuned Seb out.

"Saf-" he dragged on the f.

"Hmm?" I asked turning to him.

"I said that we couldn't figure out the jump."

"Oh ok." I nodded to him looking back at the door.

"What's going on with you and Ricky?" Seb asked.

"Nothing. Well, something, but I'm not exactly sure what it is. We hung out at Homecoming, and then after Homecoming." I explained. "He's really sweet."

Seb smirked. "You have a crush."

"I don't think- I don't- I'm not sure." I answered with a sigh.

"Well I'm pretty sure he ran to the dressing room." He told me crossing his arms. "Maybe you can go check on him and figure it out."

"I will go do that." I smiled lightly to him before walking off to the dressing room. A few people were inside the room and Ricky sat in front of a mirror coming his mop wig.

"Hey." I smiled lightly sitting on the counter looking on him.

"Hey." He responded without looking at me. "Nini made fun of me." He started. "And normally I wouldn't care, I'd think it was cute, but her doing that now just- it's aggravating." He looked down.
