IF BIANCA HAD TO say one person who she was always thankful for, aside from either of her parents, it would have to be Antonio. The boy had been by her side through many ups and downs, whether from her life or his, and yet had never wavered in his loyalty towards her. And while Bianca had been grateful for Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline, she had known that, in comparison to Antonio, neither of the girls would have handled last night's outburst with the same gusto as him. Bianca would have snapped under the close, and almost unbearable, hovering that she would have been subjected to, and was grateful that Antonio took the hint.
That didn't mean he intended to let the situation go. Bianca knew that it was no use to try to deter him when he sent his aunt a brief text that he was spending the night. Neither had brought up her outburst and, thankfully, Antonio had refrained from referencing what had happened at the Grill. By the time they reached school, Bianca had nearly half the mind to shoo the boy away until Bonnie appeared at her sight, taking the taller girl into her arms with haste.
"Do you remember what we talked about? At the Falls?" She asked, eyes briefly looking at Antonio before drawing back to Bianca. Her bottom lip was pulled between her teeth and judging by her fidgety nature something very important was on her mind.
Sensing that this was a private conversation, Antonio nodded in their direction. "I have to head to class, but I'll catch you later." After a quick once-over, he waved goodbye to the pair before disappearing down the halls.
Once they were alone, Bianca regarded the shorter girl curiously. "Uh, yeah, I do. Why?"
Bonnie sighed, eyes drifting as she struggled to articulate her words or, more likely, frustrations. "Okay so here's the thing--I've been thinking back to what you said about how it's basically a right of passage in your family to see the future?"
"I mean yeah, but also said that my mom joked about it."
"Just humor me for a second. Do you think that, possibly, if someone were to have that ability would they also, I don't know, be able to get a weird vibe from someone?"
Bianca blinked. Maybe it was her lack of clarity at the given moment or how the instances of last night still struck a chord with her, but whatever the matter was it left the teen with little inclination to dance around the bush. "Want to tell me what this is actually about?"
"I have this bad feeling about Stefan."
This caused a slight air of surprise to fall over Bianca as, before now, Bonnie had been an avid advocate for the Salvatore boy, mostly in regards to Bianca's unwavering dislike for him, coming only second to Elena. At hearing the newfound doubts she now held, Bianca wasn't ashamed to admit that she held some glee over the aspect. "What brought this on? I thought you liked him."
