HANNA’S BIG BREAK
On a warm Monday morning in mid-June, Hanna Marin walked into Poole’s,
an old-fashioned ice-cream parlor in downtown Rosewood. The inside hadn’t
changed since Hanna had been here last—the same penny candy under the
glass, black-and-white checkerboard floor, wrought-iron stools and tables,
and long, marbled counter. The owners even offered the same flavors of ice
cream, including the Phillies Fundae, a sundae in honor of the Philadelphia
Phillies baseball team. Just breathing in the heavenly scent of homemade
waffle cones and cookies-and-cream ice cream made Hanna’s empty stomach
growl.

Her old friends Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, and Emily Fields
were in a back booth underneath a large poster of a 1950s-styled girl daintily
eating a banana split. It had been two weeks since Hanna had seen them, but
she and the others had received a note from Emily asking if they could talk
today. It was pretty obvious what Emily wanted to talk about. Hanna wasn’t
sure, though, if she was ready.
“Hey, Han.” Spencer slid over to make room. The others said hi, too.
Hanna threw her leather satchel on the seat and sat down. For a moment,
silence hung over them. Spencer sipped a cup of the parlor’s famous freshbrewed coffee, her blond hair falling in her face. Aria picked at a bowl of
sherbet. Emily peeled off a wrapper of a Charleston Chew.
“So,” Hanna finally said, “what’s new?”
Everyone chuckled awkwardly. Hanna hoped nothing was new with them.
The last few months had been a whirlwind of activity—and hell. First, a
diabolical text-messager who called herself A had returned, tormenting each
of them with their secrets. After all that, A had framed them in the murder of
Tabitha Clark, a girl they’d gotten in an altercation with while in Jamaica on
spring break of their junior year. The police had false evidence showing all
four of them beating Tabitha to death.
It was clear who was behind it: Alison DiLaurentis, their old best friend’s
twin sister. Two weeks ago, the girls traced Ali to an old, abandoned house in
Rosewood. But Ali and her boyfriend, Nick Maxwell, had trapped the girls in
the basement and pumped in noxious, suffocating gas. The police had saved
everyone just in time, and Nick had been arrested.
But Ali? She’d slipped away, unseen. Without a trace.
Aria looked at Spencer. “Did you have a good vacation?”
Spencer shrugged. Her family had gone to their house in Longboat Key,
Florida, for two weeks, and she’d just gotten back. “I beat Amelia at tennis.”
She looked at Hanna. “How was Cabo with your mom?”
“Not too bad,” Hanna murmured. Unexpectedly, her mom had swooped in
after Hanna was released from the hospital and announced that the two of
them were going to Mexico.
“And I’m not bringing work,” Ashley Marin had
even added—a huge shocker, as her mom practically conducted conference
calls in the shower. They’d spent the week tanning, drinking virgin
margaritas, and rating hot surfers. It’d been actually kind of . . . fun.
Aria pouted. “I’m jealous you guys got to go somewhere. I was stuck here
all this time.”
