Chapter 3
.
Over the next month Willow and Bianca bonded. Willow vented to Bianca over her break-up with Oz. She still haf feelings for him, but the pain of his leaving did lessen when she talked to Bianca. In turn she let Bianca vent about her mother and sister. Bianca wasn't sure she blamed Erica for not really accepting Kendall. Having given birth to her rapist's child, Bianca couldn't even imagine what that was like. Kendall had a great set of adopted parents, but Bianca couldn't really blame her for feeling abandoned by Erica. One day, after they finished all of their final exams, Bianca and Willow were celebrating with ice cream. Willow asked Bianca if there was any young man Bianca had her eye on. This question took Bianca back a bit. Somehow, in all of their talks, Bianca had never mentioned that she was gay. She was a little afraid what Willow's reaction would be. Some assumed that wiccns were more tolerant of homosexuality, but Bianca's experience was that homophobes could be found in almost any religion.

Willow: I'm sorry if that question was too personal.
Bianca: It's not that. There was someone special. We were in love, and I thought we would spend the rest of our lives together. But, things didn't work out.
Willow: It's his loss. So, what was his name?
Bianca: Sarah.
Willow: Sarah? I thought, that was just a girl's name.
Bianca: I can't speak for everyone named "Sarah." But, yeah, she was a girl.
Willow: So, you're gay?
Bianca: Yes.
Willow: That's cool. I appreciate how you trust me with this. I can keep a secret.
Bianca: It's not a secret. I'm not ashamed to be a lesbian, I guess I just assumed you already knew. It was big gossip in Pine Valley a few years ago.
Willow: I remember you talking a lot about Erica and Kendall's feud, but not this. I wish you and your eventual girlfriend the best. You're not attracted to me, are you?
Bianca: Just a little.
Willow: I'm flaterred, but I prefer boys. Oz, Xander for the longest time.
Bianca: I know. My loss is some boy's gain.
