True Colors

IV: Extra Scene

"So, did it work?" The tall guy with tan skin in a basketball uniform asked.

The man he's questioning simply showed his phone contacts with an evidently missing number that he's supposed to have all the while glaring at him. He should've known better than to believe this asshole that that would work.

"Ohhhh, c'mon. Don't give up yet." The tall, stout guy with glasses beside the man in question interjected, not even looking up from his phone.

"He must think I'm a fucking creep now. Thank you very much, ya lil shit."

"Oh, trust me, he doesn't. He talked you, right?"

"Fucking barely!" He yelled. "The guy look so spooked and hightailed his ass away from me. I could've sworn he could've rivaled Lightning McQueen's speed if given a chance."

"Wow, how fucking old are you, huh?" Barged in another tall guy with pale skin and small eyes.

"Shut it, motherfucker. I'm upset and if it gets worse, I'll burn you all alive."

The most sensible one in their group rose his hands up as a form of surrender.

"Don't even fucking play the I've got nothing to do with this card on me! You're burning along with them." He sighed. "I just can't believe I've let you talk me into this." He said, directing it to the tall guy with tan skin.

"C'mon, you know I just wanted to help. You've been pining over the guy since freshman year."

"Why are you so invested in my love life again?" He snapped, looking up at the tall guy with tan skin in front of him and for a moment, he was sure he saw something funny in his expression that he couldn't describe before it disappeared and he flashed his white-teethed smile.

"You're my friend. I just want you to be happy."

"Then how about you help me move on instead of feeding me more of these false hopes, huh? How about that?"

Yep, that's definitely panic that crossed his face right there.

"C'mon, Oon." The tall guy with tan skin barely manages to catch the water bottle the other snatched from the hand of their stout companion before it hits him straight in the head. He laughed awkwardly for a moment, rubbing the back of his neck. "I know he'll like you."

"How are you even so sure about that? I thought you wanted to be a doctor, why are you playing cupid all of a sudden?"

"Trust me, I know." And that's all the tall guy with tan skin said before he head back to the locker room, leaving his teammates dumbfounded with that cryptic message.

They really can't blame him for wanting two of the most important people in his life to be together.

He owes his brother that much.
