In the books Mona was friends with Hanna for years before she found the diary that the new people living in Ali's house had thrown out. She used this diary to get back at Hanna and the others. She was angry with Hanna because Hanna abandoned her for the liars. In the show, Mona was A long before she was friends with Hanna. Popular belief is that she joined the A team in the First Secret, which took place almost a year before Ali disappeared. Mona had a new confidence that night and no longer feared Alison so it's believed her change in attitude was because she finally got power by joining the A team. We have yet to find out if Mona was really friends with Hanna because she cared for her or not. In the show we don't know how they became friends or why. It might have been just to stalk her or it might have been like in the books that they bonded and became real friends. This is a matter of opinion: It seems to me that Mona did really care for Hanna. She was mad at her, but didn't stop caring about her. You can hurt the people you care about. People say she can't care about Hanna since she ran her over with the car, but we don't know that Mona did that. In the books she did but it hasn't been confirmed in the show.
