  “Hi Megan. Your mother said I should just come up.”

  “Oh, hi Nikki,” Megan replied.

  “What’cha up to?”

  “Nothing much. Just sitting around, surfing the web.”

  “You’ve been incommunicado since the beach party.”

  “Yeah, well I don’t want to have to answer questions about what happened with Josh.

  “About that; you know he’s saying you’re a prick tease and warning other guys to stay clear of you.”

  “Not surprised. He may be right, you know. Before he hauled me off to rape me, I was letting him get away with murder. Tongue in my mouth and mine in his; his hands all over me even on my boob.”

  “Didn’t that get you turned on? It always gets me going.”

  “Yeah it did, that’s the problem. I was turned on and it scared me because I knew I didn’t really want to do anything, but that being turned on made me feel like I wanted to.”

  “What I don’t get is if you really don’t want to do it, then what’s with the email where you say you’re anxiously awaiting your next time with Josh?”

  “I didn’t send that email.”

  “It came from your account.”

  “She won’t admit it, but my bitch sister hacked my email and sent that. She’s been down on Jamie ever since she found out he wears pantyhose.”

  “I can’t blame her. The idea turns me off. I don’t see how you could be interested in him because of it.”

  “It’s cute and shows he has a sensitive side.”

  “Yeah, most gays do.”

  “I’ll take that over Josh’s entitled attitude any day and if I never hear from Josh again, it’ll be too soon.”

  “You know that you’re the only one who’s turned him down. All the other girls that were there would happily have done the deed with Josh.”

  “Yeah, well, I’m sorry I ever let Kim get me involved with him. I should never have accepted the second date with him… hell, I didn’t even accept the first date. Kim accepted it for me. They were supposed to take us to a movie. Instead, they took us to park to make out. Kim was into it and when I needed to get out of the car because I wasn’t Josh and I ended up walking around the parking lot. We had to do two laps because Kim was in the backseat giving it up to Kyle. Josh just thought it was a normal thing to do. That should have told me that Josh and his friends were racier than I wanted to be and that I should stay away from them. But no, couldn’t do that, could I? I had a good thing going with Jamie, but Josh’s bad boy attitude added a thrill to the idea of a date. I thought if I just said no, it would be OK. Well I said no and he wouldn’t take no for an answer. And now my life is ruined. I don’t know what to do now.”

  “That’s easy. Just call Josh and tell him you changed your mind and you’re sorry. Then just volunteer to meet him somewhere to make it up to him.”

  Megan started to talk, but Nikki held up her hand.

  “Really, Megan, once you get used to it, it’s really great. If I go out with a new guy and he doesn’t try to seduce me I go home frustrated. I mean why does he think I accepted a date if not to get laid? I like it; Kim likes it and if you just let yourself, you’d like it too.”

  “Nikki, we aren’t even in high school yet. Don’t you think we’re a bit young for that?”

  “The boys we hang out with are in high school. In high school, the girls who put out get dates. The rest are wallflowers at the school dances. I don’t want to be a wallflower and I don’t think you want too either.”

  “Well, I’m not in high school yet and I plan to wait until I see if what you’re saying is true. I think we’re too young.”

  “Kim doesn’t. Her first time was in seventh grade. Mike Morrison introduced her to the idea. She says that guy has more hands than an octopus and before she could tell him she wasn’t that kind of girl, she was. She’s never looked back. By her count she’s had six different guys.”

  “How does she keep from getting pregnant?”

  “She convinced her doctor that her periods were irregular and he prescribe BC pills to regulate them. When I found I liked it I did the same thing.”

  “So how long have you been on the pill?”

  “About six months. I’m not as prolific as Kim is. I have to have some feeling for the guy or he can keep his pants zipped.”

  “They can all keep their pants zipped as far as I’m concerned.”

  “You don’t know what you’re missing.”

  “I know what I’m missing; Jamie and his gentle spirit in my life.”

  Jamie decided to take the bus to the mall and meet Tabitha there. He’d not been to this particular mall before. It was only two years old and was really close to the high school; about four blocks. Once he got to the arcade, he could see that it was going to be a hit during the school year. But during the summer when there was lots of time to go and do things away from school and home it was only moderately busy. He had felt a little apprehensive about the arcade given he was wearing pantyhose. He wore the Pleated Woven Skort and a plain pullover top that really kind of looked like a guys top, if you didn’t look too close. The fabric was much softer and thinner than any boy thing he owned and had a kind of slick feel to it. He was relieved to see the arcade had subdued lighting. That meant there was less chance that the mild sheen of his nude pantyhose would be noticeable.

  As he stood in the entrance to the arcade, trying to see if Tabitha was in there, she walked up.

  “Hi Jamie, you beat me here.”

  “Yeah, I took the bus so it was either be a little early or a lot late.”

  “I’m glad you chose early. These arcades are often populated with guys only. The only girls you’ll see are those whose boyfriend drug them in. Going in as a lone girl is almost an invitation to have the guys hitting on you. That is until I challenge them to a contest and they see how good I am. I only have to whip three or four of them to get them interested in playing against their buddies again.”

  “I’ve only been to a couple of arcades when I was little. Most of the games were really beyond my ability to understand what I was supposed to do. I mostly played the driving/race games.”

  “This will be my second time here. Since it’s a new arcade, they have a lot of the most recent games. Come on, I’ll show you.”

  She led the way to “Enter The Gungeon: House of The Gundead.”

  “This is a two-person shooter game, so we can both play at the same time.”

  They had both come with several rolls of quarters. Jamie had found a neutral fanny pack and had that in place of the purse he had been carrying. He figured that since he had cash money it wasn’t a good idea to lay his purse down while he got into a game. That would make it too easy for someone to snatch his purse. Tabitha had a similar idea and was sporting a small purse with a long strap that let her wear it cross body.

  They spent an hour or so wrapped up in the game. It was a lot of fun. He got into it, using body English to aid in his perception of what he wanted to do.

  As they wound down their third game Tabitha said, “There’s another game we should try.”

  She led the way farther into the arcade to Minecraft Dungeons. What they hadn’t noticed while playing the previous game was the they had acquired an audience. As they took their place Jamie noticed the similarity to Minecraft. He had that game and had pretty much mastered it. he felt that he’d do OK with this one.

  “Excuse me, girls,” one of the guys who’d been watching them said, “this is a four-player game. Would mind if me and my buddy take the other two controls?”

  Jamie bristled just a little. The guy had addressed them as “girls” and he wasn’t entirely comfortable being perceived as a girl, but didn’t feel like correcting him would be a good idea. He looked at Tabitha to see what her reaction was. She seemed not to notice the misgender, but instead raise her eyebrows. Jamie wasn’t sure what she meant by that, so he shrugged his shoulders.

  “I guess not,” she told them.

  Now Jamie was more than a little nervous. But as they got into the game he forgot everything but what was happening in the game. They played through the game and Jamie acquitted himself admiralty. Only Tabitha was any better at it.

  After the game the guy introduce himself and his buddy.

  “That was awesome. My name is Kirk and this is my friend Derek. I’ve never seen girls play these games as good as you two do.”

  “I’m Tabitha and this is my friend Jamie. You guys were alright, we just happen to be better.”

  Much to Jamie’s dismay, the two guys followed them to Elevator Invasion. Jamie and Tabitha each took a control and went through the intro while Kirk and Derek watched. This game was totally new to Jamie, but he tried to put into practice what Tabitha had said at Mike’s and was somewhat successful. He played much better than he’d have thought for his first time in a game. The fact that he drew the female avatar wasn’t lost on him, since the two guys had pegged him as girl.

  “Let us take a turn and then the best of us will team with the best of you two,” Kirk said.

  “And then if you up for it, the other two can take a turn,” Derek offered.

  As they watch Derek and Kirk play, they stepped back a little. Turning to the side Jamie leaned in and softly said, “They think I’m a girl. What are we going to do?”

  “As I see it, we have two choices. We could just walk away while they’re playing. But if we did that we’d have to leave the arcade. If we didn’t, they’d just find us again and want to know why we’d walked off. Short of being rude, we’d just have to put up with them at some other game. If we’re rude that could make them angry and I definitely don’t want to go there.”

  “Me neither. What’s the second option. I don’t really want to leave the arcade.”

  “We go along with it. I don’t mean to say you’re girly or anything, but with your outfit and your hair being a little mussed, you can probably get away with it; they’ve already made up their minds that you’re a girl.”

  “What about my name?”

  “It’s neuter gender. Up until a couple of years ago, it was used more often for girls than boys. So no trouble there.”

  Neither of them was willing to quit the arcade so they watched, committing, by not taking action, to the second option. It turns out that Derek was the better of the two, so Tabitha stepped up to the controls and Kirk stood next to Jamie.

  “You girls are really good at these games. You don’t often see girls that good.”

  “That’s what they tell us,” Jamie said softly, barely loud enough to be heard over the clamor of the games near them.

  “How’d you get so good? I mean you guys were killing us Minecraft Dungeons and here, you’re second best between the two of you and so far, it look like you’re still better than Derek.”

  Jamie went into Tabitha’s explanation of thinking like a game as best he could remember it. It all seemed to go over Kirk’s head. But he smiled and nodded as if he thought that would negate the blank look on his face.

  Tabitha easily defeated Derek and Kirk didn’t wait to see if Jamie wanted to do the consolation round, but stepped up and put money in the machine. Jamie was committed whether he wanted to be or not. As would be expected, he beat Kirk.

  “OK,” Kirk said, “I think I’ve had enough humiliation. How about if we buy you girls a coke.”

  Again Jamie deferred to Tabitha’s judgment and followed as the guys led the way to the food court where the guys ponied up for the soft drinks. The guys led the conversation and as guys are wont to do, trying to impress them with tales of their prowess as athletes having shown themselves less than sterling at arcade games.

  Jamie was relieved to find out that Kirk was from out of town and that Derek went to a private school and he wouldn’t run into him when school started up. Tabitha looked at the clock in the center of the food court. It was nearly four o’clock.

  “You know Jamie, we’d better get going. You know my mom is expecting us to help get dinner going.” Turning to the guys, she said, “Thanks for drinks guys. We've got to get going.”

  When they had cleared the mall Jamie breathed a sigh of relief.

  “That was weird,” he said. “I’ve never felt so uncomfortable around someone in my whole life.”

  “Well, you never showed it. Those two will go back to their friends with stories about the two gamer girls.”

  “But I’m not a girl. This was way too much like we were their dates. I’m not gay.”

  “I know and I never thought you were. You’ve just got a feminine side that just has to show through, I like it. I feel more comfortable around you than I ever have around any guy. Considering that they thought you were a girl, don’t you think it was better that you went along with it? The third option was to tell them you were a guy.”
