"Do we really believe that Jenna was off on a joyride that night?" Aria scoffed. They were eating at the Grille while Mrs. Hastings and Melissa talked a few feet away.
"It was her plan to take Emily to Ali's grave all along," Spencer nodded as Isabel sneakily ate the last of the brownie.
"Seemed to me like she was scared of someone," Emily shrugged, not meeting their eyes.
"And it seemed like she was blind for five months when she wasn't," Isabel scoffed with her mouth full.
"For purposes of my head not exploding, could we just say that she is telling the truth?" Hanna sighed.
"Well, that would mean that we would cross her off the new 'A' list," Spencer replied.

"There's no way," Spencer agreed. "She wouldn't do that to my parents."
"Who else could it be?" Emily frowned.
"Mona started talking again, so maybe she can give me some answers," Hanna shrugged.
"Did you really think you could avoid me forever?"
Isabel's heart sank as she heard his voice. God no, Jason, don't do this, she thought as she turned around.
"How could you defend Garrett?" he scoffed, walking up to Mrs. Hastings.
"Let's not have this conversation here," she replied.
"Oh, it doesn't bother you that he murdered my sister?" Jason huffed, raising his voice. Isabel swore under her breath and got up
