Chapter 22
.
With classes over Bianca planned to return to Pine Valley near the end of June, and return to Sunnydale in late August. These few weeks she wanted to spend with her beloved Willow. It was a good time, they were happy together. There were still a few people who gave them dirt looks when they danced together at the Bronze, but few said anything. Bianca didn't really want to return to Pine Valley, where she was Erica Kane's lesbian daughter, and all the tabloids speculated on who she was involved with. One night, about a week before Bianca was suppossed to return to Pennsylvania, she and Willow made plans to go to a party on campus. Bianca showed up, Willow did not. Bianca assumed it was some vampire thing. If it was serious she would likely have called, asked for help on research. As it was, Bianca was a bit worried for her girlfriend. At this party, a young man tried to talk to Bianca. He was a member of the Delta Zetta Kappa fraternity, whom Anya had warned Kendall about, Michael Cambias.

Michael: Your girlfriend stand you up?
Bianca: Willow's just running late.
Michael: If it helps any, my girl didn't show either.
Bianca: Sorry to hear that.
Michael: For what it's worth, you and I have a lot in common. We both have parents who tried to make us into mirror images of themselves.
Bianca: And we both have a weakness for red-headed girls.
Michael: That we do.
.
Bianca found herself enjoying talking to Michael. He knew she was gay, so he probably had no expectations. Anya had warned them about that fraternity, but she was rather biased against men. Then Bianca began to feel a bit woozy. She hadn't even finished her first beer, was never much of a drinker. She decided to start walking back to her dorm room, that was when the darkness came.
