“This is our House” Part 1 (Big Shot Spoilers)
So Mouse spent 7 and a half hours studying with Harper, who is also hanging with her at her locker. Harper says, “It only felt like 3 and a half with you.” Mouse blushes and Harper leaves promising to save her a seat.
For those who don’t know, Harper is the same girl 2 episodes prior Mouse was stumbling over her words to speak to and it was revealed she is crushing on hard.
When Louise says, “You and your girlfriend are stressing me out” though, Mouse is once again defensive about the status of the relationship.
On its own this might just seem like she isn’t ready to label the relationship yet, but we also know something went down between Mouse and Giggles that has her even more defensive. I wonder if it is possible that Mouse gave Giggles similar signals she is giving Harper, but when things got more serious Mouse freaked and pushed Giggles away? I’m not sure. There still isn’t a tonne to go on. But whenever the idea of Mouse liking girls comes up, she gets defensive.
It does feel like Mouse is definitely a lesbian but just not ready to admit it to herself.
Also Mouse refers to her parents as “the Colonels” suggesting strict parents who are possibly from a military background. Not to mention they want her to go to West Point, a US Military Academy.
