"I am such an idiot!This whole time I'm worried about Kate backstabbing me, I didn't even realize that you were holding a knife." -Hanna Marin
Isabel was studying for her upcoming French quiz (being a straight-A student was very hard) when her phone started ringing. When she checked it, it was Hanna.
"Hey," Isabel smiled. "What's up?"
"I know what you guys are doing, excluding me for destroying that flash drive," Hanna scoffed.
"Excluding- Wait, what?" Isabel frowned. "I'm conjegating French verbs, Han."
"What? The others are all together," Hanna said. "I just assumed you..."
"Were with them?" Isabel huffed, sitting up from the lying position she was in. "No. Why?"
"Well, Caleb's also busy, so I was gonna ask if you wanted to watch a movie," Hanna offered. "I was even gonna offer to watch those Jamie Dane movies you love so much."
"You mean James Dean?" Isabel chuckled. "I'll be right over. French verbs can wait."

At Hanna's, they sat on her bed. "So... 'East of Eden', or 'Rebel Without a Cause'?" Isabel asked, holding up the two CDs.
"I don't care, you pick," Hanna shrugged. "I'm just happy someone wants to spend time with me."
"Aw, missing my brother?" Isabel smirked, but then remembered she was talking to Hanna.
"I bet you're missing Ali's," she replied, and for once, Isabel didn't cut her off. They spent the rest of the night watching movies, talking about Jason (Hanna's favorite subject), and eating popcorn. Though Isabel had a nagging suspicion that it was no coincidence that Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Caleb were all busy at the same time.

At school, Isabel and Hanna decided to grill the others about what they were doing last night.
"So what'd you guys do last night?" Isabel asked as she piled food onto her plate in the lunch line.
"Oh, we studied for a chem test," Aria replied.
"We went to Spencer's for help," Emily added. Chem? Isabel took chemestry, and the test was next week.
"So today is doomsday, huh?" Spencer said loudly, talking about Kate moving to Rosewood.
