If there was a class where Bianca DiLaurentis feels awkward in, it would be her last class.
She is writing down notes and doing the practice activities that follow. While she is writing down notes, she feels something brush against her arm. She peers from the corner of her eye and secretly grabs it.
'Do you know what you got for #3?'
Because the note appeared near her right arm, she saw that it was Bobby that was sitting in that seat.
Looking up, she sees Mr. Lang helping out with a group across from them, his back turned to them. Discreetly, she nudges her notebook that has the answer, so Bobby could write it down. She quickly takes the notebook back when their teacher turns around from that group.
She writes down her project topic, which is Quebec, on the top of the paper in her notebook as the bell rang. As quickly as she did, she threw her stuff in her backpack and darted out of the classroom.
After school, she finds herself in the Tutoring Center. She is looking through the files and the appointments that have been made during Summer School.
She hears a knock on the door, but she doesn't look up from the paperwork. "Go away, we're closed!" she announces.
It went silent before there was knocking on the door. "Are you deaf? I said we're closed." she responds to it, irritably, as she opens the door, only to find Bobby and Dutch on the other side.
She's not gonna deny that fear shot up through her veins, but she remembers her Uncle's harsh teachings and not letting it bother her.
"Hey, Bianca. How're you doing?" Bobby greets her with a sheepish smile, which contrasts greatly with Bianca's scowl.
"What do you want?" she asks, getting straight to the point. "I need a favor from you." Bobby starts.
"If it's about the project, don't worry about it. I'll do all the work and you three can slap your names on it." Bianca brushes off.
"No, no, it's not that. It's my friend, and…" Bobby starts, but Bianca is not having it.
"Yeah, that's going to be a pass." Bianca responds. She is about to close the door, but the door is aggressively shoved open by Dutch, which she instantly grew wary of, matching his smirk. "Sorry." he apologizes, nonchalantly.
"Let me get this through you. I will not help your friend, and I won't help him. Clear?" she reiterates as she closes the door.
Later that night, Toni and Bianca were at Chase's house. Because the following day was a Friday, they all decided on having a party over at Peter's that day.
"T, come on. Surfing at night is always the best." Bianca giggles out as the two of them are running towards the water.
The two look over at the water, in where the tide is really coming in. Bianca has a mischievous look on her face as she steps out of her sundress, revealing a green swimsuit underneath, and the dreamcatcher necklace that she never took off ever since she was 10-years old, while the look on her best friend screams trepidation. "I don't think those are surfable waves, B." Toni warns.
Bianca just laughs off her best friend's concerns. "Says who." she tells her as she runs out to the water.
Peter, Grayson, and Chase catch up with Toni. "The hell is she doing?" Peter asks his girlfriend as the redhead was surfing up a storm. "Being an idiot." Toni replies.
After that set, Bianca runs out of the water, shrieking in excitement. "Tone, you are really missing out!" Bianca yells out to her, euphoria and adrenaline fueling every fiber of her being.
"Okay, we're getting you inside before you do something reckless, like cliff diving." Peter tells her, acting as if he is a disappointed mom, as Bianca puts her sundress and necklace back on.
"Hey, Gray and Chase went cliff diving last week." Bianca points out, defending herself. Peter and Toni look over at the two with a raised eyebrow.
"It's true." Grayson said. "We did." Chase adds in.
"Hey, DiLaurentis!" she hears someone call out. She looks over to see Tommy run over to them. "Would you be interested in a warm one?" he asks, offering her a beer.
Chase and Grayson were making their journey back to the beach house, so it was only Toni, Peter, and Bianca. "Uh, no thanks." Bianca tells him. She is about to leave, but Tommy stops him.
"Dude, do you mind?" Toni asks, rather harshly.
"Heard you turned down a tutoring offer. Is it true?" he asks her. Her deafening silence is the answer he needs.
"Come on, Bianca. It's doing you two a favor." Tommy tries to rationalize with her. "Johnny can have a shot at graduation, and maybe you can patch this whole misunderstanding with Sensei."
The first sentence out of his mouth piqued her interest. "The friend. It's Johnny?" she asks him.
Tommy mentally scolds himself. "Shit." he hisses out.
"Trust me when I say this, it would not benefit any of us." Bianca tells him as she runs off to catch up with Chase and Grayson.
Peter and Toni share a look. All these years, they could've asked Bianca, why are they asking now?
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Toni asks in disbelief. "You want Bianca, who has spent years trying to get over her trauma, talking to two people that almost ruined her spirit?"
"You guys and Kreese put her through hell. We can assure you that it's never happening again." Peter finishes as they walk off as well.
