"Start with the line about the stolen medal" Spencer said, as all the girls sat together, preparing to audition for the school play The Bad Seed. While Sabrina try's different way to be able to make them look younger.

"Why isn't she wearing any shoes?" Hanna asked, looking at a random girl.

"So she can look short enough to play an eight year old" Spencer answered.

"How do I look? Do I look like I could pass like an eight year old" Sabrina asked looking at the girls.

The girls looked at the Diaz girl and nods their head and give her compliments.

"Thank now I gotta go show Mr.Fitz" Sabrina says standing up to head towards Ezra. "I gotta see if he approves"

After getting his approval of the look Sabrina joins the girls again and starts to take off the makeup.

"What's my line?" Spencer asked Emily.

"I don't see anything about a medal" Emily replied, looking down at the script.

"Huh, that's what the eight year old killed her classmate for" Spencer informed, looking at the script in Emily's hand, "The Penmanship Medal, that's why they call her the Bad Seed".

"A penmanship medal, really?" Hanna asked

"Didn't you read the whole play?" Spencer asked before looking at Aria

"Don't look at me, Hanna's the trying" Aria explains "I'm just here to make her look taller"

"Hanna reading? " Sabrina laughs "the only time Hanna read it if has the word sale on it"

"Why do I have to read the whole play?" Hanna asked. "I don't wanna be the bad seed's mother, I wanna be the other mother, the one who's drunk all the time".

"No comment" Spencer said, while the other girls laughed at Hanna.

"Are you still ragging on me for bringing a flask to a dance?" Hanna asked, "I don't need another parent,
Spence, one's plenty".

"Well, has the 'one' figured out that Caleb's in her basement?" Aria asked.

"No, but A has" Hanna informed, shocking all the girls.

"What are you gonna do?" Emily asked curiously.

"I'm gonna tell my mom before A gets to her" Hanna replied, "I'm just gonna ask her if Caleb can stay in the guest room".

"Hey, there, Hanna and her clan-na" Mona greeted, walking over to the group.

"Hey, Mona, how'd it go in there?" Hanna asked.

"Honestly, I nailed it, it was epic" Mona informed, "I think Mr. Fitz cried"

"Good for you, Mona" Spencer said, "I guess the rest of us should just go home".

"No" Mona said, "There are no small parts, only parts that don't make it into the yearbook, like Sabrina's"

Sabrina goes to reply but couldn't cause Emily covers here mouth.

"Good luck " Mona said before walking away.

"Can I hit her?" Sabrina's asked looking at Hanna who shakes her head.

"Why don't you audition?" Spencer asked Aria, after seeing her and Ezra exchange looks, "You kind of have an in with the director".

"Stop" Aria warned.

"Is he wearing the tie you gave him?" Hanna teases.

"Stop" Aria repeated.

"It would be so awesome to hang out with you two after school, see you as a couple" Spencer said.

"News flash, just cause we're on this side of the building it doesn't mean that we can suddenly light candles and slow dance" Aria said.

"But that's the opening night party" Sabrina said smirking, she turned to Spencer clearing her throat imitating Ezra "Hello, Aria"

"Hello, Ezra" Spencer greeted, leaning back into the Montgomery girl throwing the Diaz girl a look before both burst into laughter.

"Are you two finished?" Aria asked her cousin and friend.

"Almost" Sabrina said still laughing.

Emily turned to Aria, "It's not like we'll ever be able to go on a double date with you guys" she said.

"Yeah, you won't even send us pictures" Hanna complained.

"Pictures?" Aria asked, "Hanna, we meet at his apartment, it's not SeaWorld"

"I wanna go to sea world" Sabrina randomly says not even paying attention anymore.

"We're just saying, it would be nice" Emily said. "I mean we see pictures from when Sabrina and Jason dated"

"Believe me, I know" Aria said, "Wish I could, but I can't, um, where's your other scene? Wait you've seen pictures of Sabrina and Jason? I thought you got rid of them?"

"Is Mr. Fitz in the auditorium?" Jenna suddenly asked, gaining the girl's attention.

"Uh, I'm right here, Jenna, what can I do for you?" Ezra asked, walking over to Jenna.

"I don't know if you're interested, but I would like to compose some music for the play" Jenna replied.

"Sure, that'd be great" Ezra said, "For the flute?".

"Yes" Jenna confirmed, "Is there a reason that you picked The Bad Seed? It's one of my favorites, the theme is so inspiring".

"Uh, inspiring?" Ezra asked confused.

"Im fascinated by the nature of evil" Jenna replied.

"Do you think if I throw holy water on her she'll melt?" Sabrina whispers earning laughs out of her friend's.

"So the play raises an interesting question" Ezra said, "Are people born evil or do they learn it? I brought some additional material to give you guys some background on the period".

"Do you need help?" Aria asked.

"Oh, no, I'm good, thanks" Ezra assured, "So I recommend that you read the novel, and to wet your appetites, I copied the first chap--", all the papers in Ezra's suddenly fell onto the floor, Aria quickly bent down to help Ezra with the papers, "I got it, thanks" he told her, "Why don't you hand out the schedules?"

"Oh, Aria, um, while you're up, could you do me a favor?" Mona asked.

"Uh, sure, what do you need, Mona?" Aria asked.

"Could you hit the vendi and grab me a PowerBar and some mints?" Mona asked.

"I think I should just pass these out but everyone can hit the vendi when we go on break, okay?" Aria replied.

"I think you'll see, even with the novel Rhoda is not the typical eight year old" Ezra said, "Only the janitor is--", before Ezra could complete his sentence, the door opened and in came lan, "Yes?"

"Uh, I'm guessing this isn't the Varsity Booster Club" Ian realised, "My bad, sorry".

"Sabrina Diaz please report to office immediately" The announcement sounded through the room after he left "I repeat Sabrina Diaz please report to office immediately"

"Let's all take a look at the first scene with Rhoda and the janitor" Ezra said nodding towards Sabrina as she grabs her stuff "If you'll turn to page twenty five".

April 8,2009

"You are so badass" Aria praised Alison, as she handed the four girls their fake IDs.

"Do you have yours Bri?" Alison asked looking at the Diaz girl who nods pulling it out of pocket.

"Did you make these?" Emily asked shocked.

"Where'd you get this picture of me?" Hanna asked, " I look like my mother".

"That is your mother" Alison informed, walking over to the bouncer and showing her his ID. One by one all the girls showed their IDs and gained entry to the frat house.

"So you guys can thank me later" Alison told the girls, about to leave.
"Wait!" Aria called out, "So, what do we, what do we do now?".

"Act your new age" Alison replied simply.

"Oh, excuse me, sorry" the girls heard lan say.

"Spence isn't that lan, your sister's boyfriend?" Aria asked turning to said girl

"He's kind of cute, so is his friend" Hanna said.

"Easy, he's a little bit old for you" Emily reminded.

"Not tonight, because I'm twenty six" Hanna retorted, showing Emily her ID.

"Put that away" Alison ordered.

"Yeah, and take a math class, you're twenty one" Spencer corrected.

"Looks like Mr. Melissa is giving Ms. Rum and Coke a special tour" Sabrina said, as the girls watched lan take a drunk girl upstairs.

"Maybe he's just taking her to the bathroom" Hanna defended.

"Or finding an empty room so she can lie down" Emily added.

"Yeah, on top of her" Alison said, making the girls look at her in shock, "What? Look, I don't know about vestal virgins but I'm here to make some memories, let's divide and conquer and meet back here at midnight".

Once Alison walks away Sabrina looks at the four girls who looked around the party.

"Okay" Sabrina says gaining their attention "Rules 1.Do not leave your cup alone 2. Do not take anything if offered to you and if someone give you a bad feeling walk away and find me or send sos and I'll find you 3.Do not leave each other's vision I'm gonna go find the bathroom be right back"

"Wait, but you said not to leave each other's sight" Emily nervously says as she looks around.

"You see those guys right there?" Sabrina points to some of Derek's old friends and the girls nod.

"They're watching you guys till I get back" Sabrina tells them as she looks over her shoulder to see a boy coming over.

"Sabrina!" Hayden exclaimed in excitement pulling the girl into a hug.

"Hayden, meet Hanna, Aria, Spencer and Emily keep an eye on them please" Sabrina asks flashing her puppy eyes.

"Of course" Hayden nods and Sabrina smiles.

"Great, now I gotta go to the restroom" Sabrina laughs before she walks away.

"Jase she's fine it's just a chest infection the doctor gave her some antibiotics" Sabrina says walking into the her room as she and Everly arrived home.

Jane rushed Everly to the hospital when she started wheezing and couldn't catch her breath. Wren said she had a chest infection that should last a few days but other than that she fine

"Are you sure?" Jason asked. He was working when Sabrina messaged him about Everly and said she'd call when they got home.

"Yes I'm sure relax take a deep breather for me" Sabrina replied "I gotta go I'll call you later alright?"

"Yeah that's fine" Jason replied both said there good bye's before hanging up.

Sabrina walks out of the bathroom only to be pushed back in as she swings her fist connect with someone's face earring a groan.

"Ow what the hell Rina?" A familiar voice exclaimed causing Sabrina look to see Her boyfriend standing there.

"I'm sorry, Are you okay?" she asked, lightly grabbing his face to examine the not red spot.

"I knew you could throw a punch but I didn't expect it to be that hard." Jason chuckled.

"Then don't sneak up on me" Sabrina says crossing her arm.

"I wasn't trying to sneak up on you"
Jason responded a cheeky smile on his face earning raised eyebrow "Okay maybe i was trying to sneak up on you"

Sabrina shook her head, "your an ass" she said.

"No, I'm not" Jason retorted pulling a girl into a kiss a loud yell caused the two to separate.

"Oh my god, someone just fell from the stairs!" they heard as they both exited the bathroom and pushes people out of the bathroom and ran to find out what happened.

Sabrina looked around and finally managed to find her friends, who were looking at the unconscious girl in shock, Alison however nowhere to be seen.

"What the hell happened?" Sabrina asked eying the four girls checking to make sure there okay.

"She fell from the stairs" Hanna informed.

"We should go, now" Spencer told her friends. Sabrina, Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily stood outside and watched as the paramedics rolled the girl into the ambulance.

"We should get outta here" Aria said, "They're gonna start questioning everyone".

"We can't leave without Alison" Emily protested.

"I voted for mini-golf, this was a huge mistake" Hanna said.

"Calm down freaking out is going make us look suspicious" Sabrina whispered.

"What's going on?" Alison asked, walking over to her friends, "What happened?".

"You missed it?" Aria asked shocked, "Where were you? That girl that was with lan, she-".

Emily interrupted Aria, "She fell down the stairs, and it was terrible, and-".

"Can we just tell her on the bus?" Hanna interrupted Emily.

"Note to self, don't drink and dive" Alison said, looking around.

"If my mom finds out I was here, I'll be grounded until I'm fifty" Emily said.

"Guys, if we run away like babies we'll definitely be questioned" Alison said, grabbing Sabrina's arm pulling her over to a police officer.

"What is they doing?" A shocked Hanna asked.

"What are you thinking?" Aria asked Alison, once they had walked back to them.

"I'm think we're not taking the bus" Alison replied, ushering the girls towards the police car, "Chillax ladies, the bolder the move, the less anyone questions it".

Over next two days Sabrina stayed home to take care of Everly, after catching the girl up on every thing she missed the five friends arrived at school and sat on one of the tables outside.

"Did you guys sleep at all?" Hanna asked.

"No, just tossed and turned" Emily replied.

"She tossed, I turned" Spencer informed.

"I can't wait for him to be carted out of here" Hanna replied. "Just knowing he's in this building"

"Or you guys are going to be under the spotlight for handing in false evidence" Sabrina shrugged not really sure what to believe.

"Stop thinking so negatively" Spencer scolded cause the older girl to glare.

"Im sorry would you like me to believe that a trophy randomly pops up with blood on and expect it to be a murder weapon?" Sabrina sarcastically asked. "It just seem fishy to me why wouldn't he get rid or it? or at least get rid of the blood"

"Guys" Aria said, looking behind Spencer, the girls turned around and realised the cops were here.

"Oh my god" Spencer whispered, "They're gonna drag him out in front of the whole school".

"Why is he coming over here?" Hanna whispered, seeing one of the detectives walk over to their table.

"Ladies" the detective greeted, "Which one of you found the trophy? Who's Spencer Hastings?" Spencer put one of her hands up, the other still tightly gripping the table, "So was this a group effort or are you five just along for the ride?".

"What do you mean?" Hanna asked confused.

"I mean you should've done a little research, there's no golf tournament in Hilton Head on that date".

"What about the blood?" Emily asked.

"It's not human blood, comes from a rat"

"No, but why would there-".

"Let's save our questions for the precinct, follow me" The detective interrupted Hanna,As four the girls stood up "all five of you"

The five girls were escorted out of the school when suddenly the detective was called by one of the
officers. Once the five girls were alone, all of their phones buzzed at the same time.

BLOCKED ID
"Rat" me out.
your blood's next.
- A

"A planted that trophy" Aria realized.

"Congrats guys, you fell for another one of A's tricks and now we are all going to jail and I wasn't even here" Sabrina snapped.

"Relax" Spencer said. "We get it, you told us so"

"Do not tell me to relax" Sabrina yelled before whispering "I have a fucking kid Spencer I can't be going to jail for something so stupid"

"Guys" Aria interrupted suddenly realising something, "Where was she that night? At the frat party when the girl fell, where was Alison?".

"She wasn't with us" Spencer realised, she then turned to Sabrina, "you weren't with us either".

"Yeah, Where were you?" Hanna asked.

"I was with Jason trying to see my boyfriend on my birthday when she fell".

"Okay so she wasn't with any of us" Hanna said.

"What are you saying?" Emily asked confused.

"I'm saying maybe it wasn't Ian who pushed that girl" Aria replied, "Maybe that drunk girl was just in
Alison's way".

"Why would Alison do that?" Emily asked, having a hard believing Aria's accusation.

"Because that frat party wasn't a random pick" Spencer realised. "She took us there because she knew lan was going to be there, Maybe she was stalking him" Spencer said.

"Wait, so now you believe lan?" Hanna asked Spencer, slightly shocked, "You don't think he killed Alison?".

"I didn't say that" Spencer defended, "I think he killed her, there's just a lot about that night that we still don't know"

"Oh my god" Aria suddenly said.
"What?" Emily asked.

"What if Jenna was also blocking her way to lan?" Aria asked.

"Wait, you think Ali threw that fire bomb in Toby's garage to purposely hurt Jenna?" Sabrina asked
shocked.

"She had us all fooled" Hanna realised.

"Until now" Spencer said and Emily sighed and looked towards the school, where she saw lan standing there and smirking at the girls.

Following Emily's gaze, the rest of the girls turned and saw the same thing, causing them to quickly avert
their eyes, none of them had the courage to look at lan besides Sabrina who glared at him and mouthed 'fuck off'
