Bianca's crew of friends are an interesting case; they indeed do not give a damn about authority.
Toni Samuels has been Bianca's best friend since the 3rd grade. She is the friend group's environmentalist. Whether she's not cleaning the beaches off of garbage or saving the baby sea turtles, she would be with Bianca and her friend group. Toni holds a deeper hatred for John Kreese and anything that is associated with Cobra Kai. She normally has a calm and relaxed aura about her, but there are times when the opposite occurs.
Peter Cross is West Valley High's golden boy. Being the captain of the varsity soccer team and training at Cobra Kai, Bianca was initially skeptical of him, but after knowing that he did not take the No Mercy mantra at Cobra Kai to heart, Bianca began to trust him to a point where he and Toni began to date. Bianca knows that he and Toni are planning on their future after finding out that Peter is going to UCLA on a soccer scholarship.
Grayson Cameron has a lot of connections. Being the Valley's resident party animal, he is the access if anyone wants weed or alcohol. Out of all of the friends, the long haired boy is the most rebellious and more laidback than anyone.
The recent member of the group is Chase Mercer. He moved to Encino a year ago with his two parents, who are insanely rich. Chase, who is also a member of the country club, pretty much hates anything that is associated with The Hills, which makes him the fifth friend of the friend group.
"Finally! What took you guys so long?" Chase asks as the four teens were piling out of Grayson's truck.
"Don't look at me, man. The girls were taking their sweet ass time." Grayson quips at Chase.
"A new neighbor moved in next door. Bianca was helping him out." Toni explains to Chase.
"Ah, being the model citizen, aren't you, Bee?" Chase asks, mocking Bianca, causing the redhead to roll her eyes and swat his arm. "Shut up." Bianca groans out.
The following day, while Chase, Peter, and Grayson are with Freddy and his friends, Bianca and Toni were catching some waves.
"You see that? You're not gonna get that at whatever fancy Ivy League school you plan on going to." Toni tells Bianca as they put their surfboards in the sand and lie down on their towels.
"Not true, T. There are Ivy League colleges that are along the coast." Bianca states. "You are just associating Ivy Leagues to specifically the ones in New England, like Yale and Princeton."
"Ivy League? Congratulations, Bianca." the two girls hear. They turn to see Ali Mills taking a seat next to Toni as her friends begin to pile in.
Though Ali and Bianca were not friends, they were also not enemies. There was once a time where they were friendly to one another, but after Ali caught the attention of Johnny Lawrence, who is the bane of Bianca's existence, they begin to drift apart. Until a few weeks ago.
*FLASHBACK*
One night, Bianca and Toni were visiting Grayson at his recent job at Golf 'n Stuff. As the two girls were leaving, Bianca notices a familiar face dejectedly sitting on a bench. Bianca makes her way towards the sad blonde.
"Hey." Bianca greets, only for her to find out that it's Ali Mills. Bianca has never held any ill will towards Ali, just her pompous boyfriend, Johnny.
"Hey." Ali sadly greets her.
"You okay?" Bianca asks her. A curious Toni follows where Bianca was at, and at an initial instinct, she scowls at Ali.
"I thought Johnny remembered my birthday, but he never showed." Ali tells her. She never knew why she was venting to Bianca and Toni about her relationship troubles with Johnny. Maybe it's because they will offer a sense of honesty and sensibility.
"That's fucked." Toni breathes out.
"Come with us. We might have something that might cheer you up." Bianca says to her with a smirk. The three girls went over to Grayson.
"Gray! Give us three golf clubs and, uh, three blueberries." Bianca tells Grayson. The boy gives them the clubs and, with no one watching, discreetly gives her three joints. Bianca takes the joints, and they briskly make their way around a corner, where no one is watching near the first hole and she pulls out the joints.
Toni takes the joint out of Bianca's hand, but Ali is hesitant. "Are you sure that people won't see us?" Ali asks her.
"Look, all of the families and adults are gone. Now, it's only the people who are up this late. And besides, Grayson is the only one on the clock. He's done this before and nobody has ratted him out. Are you in?" Bianca asks. With a hesitant smile, Ali takes the joint.
Throughout the time, they were playing golf while being high from the joints. The three girls are high.
"I mean, he's been doing this for the past few months. He'll just say that it's karate or he just wants to go out with his friends. I can't remember a time when we even went out on a date." Ali rants as they go to another hole.
"If you're unhappy in this relationship, then why are you still in a relationship with him in the first place?" Bianca asks. "There are moments where I still have hope in him, but now, I just don't know anymore." Ali responds.
Going onto the next hole, Toni decides now to ask Ali a question that has been on her mind since coming across her that night. "Why do you do it?" Toni asks Ali as they are going to another hole. "Do what?" Ali asks. "Do what people expect you to do." Toni answers.
"I don't really know. I just want to be what my parents and friends expect me to be." Ali answers to Toni after thinking about it, and hitting her golf ball with her club.
"You have to take control of your own life. They can't force you to be perfect. People go through shit, it's how they learn." Bianca advises as she hits her ball with her club.
They finished the game and proceeded to walk to The Hills, eating their ice cream in hand. Because of their state, the game lasted for around two hours, and the effects of the joint have worn off.
"Thanks for spending the remaining hours of my birthday with me." Ali gratefully says to the two girls as they rounded Ali's house. Toni is about to speak up before she gets interrupted.
"Ali, where have you been? We need to talk." they hear Johnny Lawrence riding up to them on his motorcycle, his buddies riding up alongside him.
"Don't even talk to me, Johnny." Ali venomously spits out. "Do you even remember what today is?"
Bianca and Toni can see that Johnny is trying to remember what that day is supposed to be that means so much for Ali.
"Look, Ali, I just got back from getting some drinks with the guys, and…" Johnny is about to say, but Ali just threw up her hands in exasperation.
"I can't do this anymore, Johnny. We're over."
*END FLASHBACK*
"I have to thank you, Bianca. It's time to go through shit. It's how I learn." Ali tells Bianca. "I honestly thought she would go back on your word." Toni mutters to Bianca.
Sand starts to be kicked in their direction. Bianca and Toni look up to see Chase, Peter, and Grayson, Daniel the new kid, Freddy, and the rest of Freddy's friends playing soccer. The two girls can detect the stares between Ali and Daniel.
After Daniel was being a showoff, the boys continued to play the game, with Freddy taking the soccer ball to the head.
"Ooh, he took it to the head." Toni winces as the boys are running away. Bianca nudges Toni at another wave coming in. The two girls share a knowing smile as they grab their surfboards and run towards the ocean.
Night quickly falls on the teenagers. The kids and their parents went home and three different groups were formed on the beach with separate fires being set up; Daniel, Freddy, and his friends, Ali and her friends, and the friend group of Bianca, Toni, Peter, Chase, and Grayson.
While the five teenagers were roasting marshmallows by the fire, they could distinctly hear the roar of motorcycles.
Peter looks up and when he sees who it is, he groans. That catches the attention of Toni, her face contorting into a scowl. "Why are they here?" she asks. A curious Bianca turns around to see who her best friend and her boyfriend were talking about, and she sees Johnny Lawrence and his friends riding their way down the hill towards the beach. That sends Bianca's happy mood downward.
Johnny Lawrence and Bianca DiLaurentis had some history, with Johnny being Cobra Kai's top student when he stepped foot into the dojo and Bianca being his sensei's niece. Because Bianca refuses to comply with the mantra of Cobra Kai, that left her on the receiving end of the venomous words that would spew out of John Kreese's mouth and Johnny and his friends would imitate that over to her.
It's only when she is put into the custody of the Samuels family that Bianca can finally be happy again.
"Ugh, you've gotta be kidding me." Bianca groans out, putting her head on her hands.
"Hey, let's just get back to the beach house, all right? It was fun while it lasted." Chase advises, at the last part of his sentence, he was glowering towards the Cobra Kai gang. Because of how rich they are and because of John Kreese's veteran status, Johnny and his friends could get away with anything without suffering any of the consequences.
While they were packing everything they have onto the hitch of the truck, Bianca sees Daniel getting shoved onto the sand, with Ali's radio in hand. Not wanting the new kid to quickly become a victim of the attacks of Johnny, Bianca runs towards the group.
While Johnny did several leg sweeps on Daniel, Bianca was about to break up the fight, but somebody held her back.
"Don't even think about it, Bee." she hears. It was one of Johnny's best friends, Bobby Brown.
Bobby has to be one of the more tolerable members of Johnny's Cobra Kai gang. While he never actually was mean to Bianca, in fact there were times when they exchanged some small talk, he also never did anything when Johnny and the rest of his friends, Tommy, Dutch, and Jimmy, would do anything to put her down and ruin her day. They stopped talking completely after Bianca moved in with Toni and her mother.
Ali was crying out for Johnny to leave Daniel alone while she was being held back by Tommy and Dutch.
Johnny kicks Daniel in the gut, and while Daniel is writhing in pain, he turns to Ali. "Look, you started this. All I wanted was to talk to you."
"Well, just leave him alone and we can go talk." Ali compromises, being in the same boat as Bianca when it comes to Johnny leaving Daniel alone.
"Bobby, just let me go." Bianca says to Bobby, still struggling in his hold. "I'm not letting you get hurt." Bobby refuses, causing her to scoff. "Oh, because you did so well before." she tells him, sarcastically.
"How about you, hero? Had enough?" Johnny asks Daniel, mocking him. Daniel sucker punches Johnny in the face, and tells him how they are both even. Johnny mutters "No mercy." as he ruthlessly beats Daniel up to the point where he is on the ground again.
"Daniel!" Bianca cries out to him, tears of frustration pouring out of her eyes. "Bobby, man, just let her go." Bianca hears Peter tell him.
"I don't want her to get hurt by him." Bobby was telling Peter as Bianca rips herself out of Bobby's grip and kneels by Daniel.
"Are you okay?" she asks him. "I'm fine. Just leave me alone." Daniel groans out, but Bianca is not budging.
"No. You're hurt, and I'm not gonna stand here and let that asshole get away with it. Just let me help you." Bianca persists. Ali is on the other side of Daniel to see if he's okay.
"It's okay, Ali. I'm gonna help him." Bianca says to her. The blonde gives the redhead a knowing glance before turning to Daniel. "I'm so sorry."
Bianca helps Daniel and aids him over to Grayson's truck, and they go back to the beach house.
After aiding him to the couch, Bianca leaves to find a first aid kit. Daniel is questioning to himself why her jovial mood from earlier drastically subsided.
"They have a past." Toni speaks up. "King Karate and Bianca."
"Sorry you have to be in the middle of it, man." Peter apologizes. Daniel is confused because he has never seen the brown haired boy before. "Oh, I'm Peter, Toni's boyfriend. These are our friends, Chase and Grayson."
"If it means anything, he's had that sucker punch coming for a while now." Chase chimes in. Daniel chuckles, but it is quickly followed by a wince as he grabs a hold of his abdomen.
"Hey, if she's ready, she'll tell you. Let's just say, Bianca is a ray of sunshine, and Johnny is the cloud that will do anything to dim that sunshine." Grayson advises him.
