Fallen

9. Arcade

Harper was starting to think more and more about being bisexual and about Ivy. Ivy was attractive, but was Harper really falling for her? Or did she just want a relationship. It didn't matter, though. Harper, though more on the extroverted side, could never make the first move, and she was 70% positive Ivy hated her guts.

On Sunday, Harper went out to an arcade with her friends; Rory, Jessie, and Bea and Noah Xu, Tao and Elle's son and daughter.

"Noah, don't spend all your money on that one game!" Rory giggled as she watched the boy attempt to win something from a claw machine.

"It's definitely rigged." Bea shrugged, taking a lick of the lollipop she had.

"Aw, I'm out of soda. I'm gonna go get more, I'll be back." Jessue said, walking to the drink machine. Harper gulped and followed her.

"Hey, Jessie?" Harper said.

"Hmm? Yep?"

"Have you ever thought about your sexuality?"

"Yeah, obviously." Jessie said.

"Okay.. " Harper nodded. She couldn't just ask for Jessie's sexuality, that was probably rude.

"I'm lesbian." Jessie smiled. "Boys scare me." She added.

"Ah, okay.. Makes sense. Your mum is like- the lesbian queen." Harper teased, referring to Darcy.

"Yeah, definitely." Jessie smiled, then took a sip of her refilled soda.

"You queer?" She asked.

Harper shrugged.
"I don't know."

"That's okay, you'll figure it out. And if you don't.. That's okay too!" Jessie smiled, taking another gulp.

Harper nodded. She wanted this figured out she wanted to know who she was.

"Cmon.." Jessie said as the girls walked back over to the claw machines.

"Look, I won this!" Noah smiled proudly, holding a small stuffed bear in his arms.

"Wow. After what? 50 pounds or something?" Harper smirked.

"No, it was only like 15!" Noah scoffed.

Then, after some pizza, a commercial came on one of the TVs. It was some random bikini ad.

"Oo, she's hot." Jessie smirked. Everyone looked at her.

"What? Isn't obvious I'm lesbian?" Jessie said. Harper had secretly wondered if Jessie said this because Harper asked about sexuality. Maybe Jessie was trying to make her feel comfortable.

"I guess it makes sense. Your mums must've passed it down to you." Noah joked, but Jessie didn't smile.

"You can't pass down sexuality." Jessie said.

"I was joking!" Noah groaned.
"You always pin against me! If Harper said that you wouldn't care!" Noah scoffed.

".. Noah calm down." Jessie groaned, tugging at her hair.

Noah rolled his eyes.

"Anwayyyyy I'm happy for you!" Bea said.

"Thanks." Jessie said.

Harper tuned out the voices as her thoughts consumed her mind..
