"You sure it was him?" Hanna scoffed, and Isabel rolled her eyes.

"Who else would it be?" Mona shrugged, almost innocently. "Anyway, I just thought you guys should know." She walked off, leaving them slightly surprised.

"Okay, please tell me no one else bought that," Emily huffed the second she was gone.

"Well, I'm just glad it's over with," Aria agreed. "Meredith thought that we did that."

"So Mona did us a favor. We did not ask for it," Spencer said nonchalantly. "We definitely don't owe her anything."

"I wouldn't call anything that Mona does a favor," Isabel scoffed, clutching her coffee.

Spencer looked over at Hanna, who was silent. "You know her better than any of us, Hanna. What do you think?"

"I think there's more to the story," Hanna shrugged darkly.

Isabel stormed up to Jason before lunch the next day.

"What the hell is this, Jason?" she scoffed, pulling up Mona's pity video. He frowned as she glared at him. "I heard that you're supervising her now?"

"Je-" he muttered.

"Jason, I'm not in the mood," she snapped, and he sighed. "Now tell me why the hell you're condoning her craziness."

"Isa, look," he replied, pulling her into an empty classroom so that no one could hear them. "I want to know who dug up my sister's remains, and since Mona obviously knows, and supervising her pity parties will get her to tell me, then I'll do it. Besides, that person might be 'A', or working with 'A', and I want to find them. I want to know who's torturing the girl I love."

"Lemme guess, if she asked you to kiss her to find out who stole Ali's remains, you'd do it in a-" Isabel huffed, crossing her arms and ignoring the second part of his sentence. She stared at him indignantly as he grinned down at her.

"So you don't care that it's Mona, you're just jealous," he teased.

"You didn't answer my question," she whispered, envy filling her up like water.

"Isa, I would never, ever, ever, cheat on you, and I swear it to Ali's grave," he promised, and she believed him. He wasn't lying, and the fact that he swore on his sister's grave only made her trust him more. She sighed as he pulled her into a hug, biting back a smile.

At lunch, the girls congregated. Supposedly, Mona was trying to steal Spencer's spot as captain of the decathlon team.

"Maybe her phone was hidden or something," Emily said as Isabel played with her food.

"If she's gonna dip bag into the 'A' bag to scare me off the decathlon team, she's got another think coming," Spencer huffed.

"Is being Captain Brainiac really that important?" Hanna frowned.

Isabel dropped her fork and stared at her. "Uh, yeah it is, if you wanna get into UPenn. I mean, I'm the captain of the girl's basketball team, co-chair of the theatre club, and I placed second in high jump for track and field."

"Whoa, you're almost worse than Spencer," Hanna blinked, and Spencer scoffed.

"Do you know something we don't?" Emily frowned, changing the subject.

"No. I'm just saying, if Mona's back to her old tricks, then maybe we should stay away from her," Hanna shrugged.

"Like sabotaging Brad so she could run against me for team captain? That's so..." Spencer began, and Emily finished her terrifying thought.
