Sky
"Sky?"
Blooms standing in the entrance of Stella's dorm. She smiles softly at me in greeting, looking sheepish and hesitant.
She looks around the room. "Is everything okay?"
She glances at the bathroom door before stepping further into the room. I sit up straighter, smoothing out my face of any emotions. No need for her to be dragged into this, whatever this is.
"The twins have had a long day." I answer, truth and lie. "I'm waiting for Tavi so we can head to training."
"Oh." She frowns slightly. "I thought training was over for the day."
Shit. Stella's suitemates last year never normally questioned what I was doing there. Then again, it's not like it wasn't obvious what I was doing there. Bloom can't know, she's too curious and unstable.
Remember, the best lies have truth in them, Irene's voice floats into my mind.
"Silva likes to check on progress now and then. With Tavi being a fairy he wants to check on her too. Two birds, one stone and all."
She nods in agreement. "Of course." She hovers slightly, clearly knowing she should leave but- she stays.
"Is everything okay Bloom?" Worry flashes through me at the vulnerable look in her eyes, curse me and my stupid caring heart.
"I- I was hoping to talk to Tavi."
Why would she need to talk to Tavi? My confusion must show because Bloom continues on.
"Just wanted some advice with my magic. My mentor, Isabella, has just found her mate so...."
She trails off, we all know how mates get when the bond first forms- except Riven, I need to check he knows what's going to happen, I doubt he did the reading I suggested.
"And well-" Bloom pauses, "Tavi's Tavi."
And of course, we've all heard the gossip about Octavia's progress in class. She's one of the strongest fairies in Alfea, skilled and controlled. They also gossip about Bloom's lack of control in the face of her own power.
"I'm sure if you ask-"
"Bloom?" Stella comments as she strides back into the room, barely sparing the redhead a glance before looking at me in question. "What can we do for you?"
Bloom straightens up, that look of vulnerability sliding away as Stella walks closer when I shake my head, I'm not entirely sure what she wants from Tavi. Help, yes. But to what extent.
"Just wanted to ask Tavi a question." She rushes out, clearly uncomfortable in the older girl's presence.
"Octavia's busy." Stella stares her down. "Tomorrow."
"Stel." I cut in. Why did she have to be so rude all the time? Bloom is only trying to control her power. Stella looks at me, at the disappointment I know must show on my face. Her should sag a fraction, more than she would ever normally allow.
Stella sighs. "Tomorrow. Over breakfast. 8am. Don't be late."
Bloom nods eagerly, a grin taking over her face as she looks at me gratefully. I grin back, pleased I could help. Bloom mutters a thank you before hurriedly leaving the room.
"Why do you always insist on helping the downtrodden?" Stella asks in irritation.
"Why do you always insist on being a raging bitch?" I mock.
I freeze. Why did- Why would I-. Stella looks equally shocked at my outburst. I wait for her tears and anger. Guilt already consuming me.
"Stel-"
"I guess I deserve that one." She forces a slight smile. Before glancing at the bathroom door. "I should check on Tavi and where's Riven?"
