A/N: Ah, yes. New story(FINALLY) that I have written. Based on a thought of a guy that I absolutely despised and his girlfriend. But my life is not as dramatic as THIS story. :) Read/Review!

Prologue: How it all Started...

In a room, there was toys cluttered all over the floor and twenty-two small bodies moving around everywhere. A teacher and her assistant scurried around the room trying to contain the noise and the commotion. The teacher yelled, "Circle Time!" which sent the children scrambling towards the huge rug and hastily sat down to make a messy circle. Ms. Lopez sighed with satisfaction and stood in the middle of the rug.

"I have a wonderful surprise for all of you!" She said in a excited whisper. All the kids murmured amongst each other, wondering what the wonderful surprise was. Jane, the assistant, went to the door and gestured the "come here" hand wave to someone outside the room. A couple minutes of waving frantically, she rolled her eyes and went out the room for a second. There was a small yelp of protest and sounds of struggle before Jane came back, dragging a small girl by the arm with her. The assistant huffed and handed the girl over to Ms. Lopez.

Ms. Lopez introduced the girl. "Everyone, this is Lani Kay." All twenty-two boys and girls chirped "Hi, Lani Kay." to the girl. "She came all the way from Honolulu, Hawaii. Help her fit in and be nice to her." Ms. Lopez gently pushed the girl with long, sleek black hair and naturally tanned skin, forward to the children and told her to join in the circle.

Gingerly, Lani sat down in the circle next to a boy with asian features and gray eyes that narrowed and glared at her when she sat next to him. Little did Lani know that this was the boy she was destined to hate at the very beginning and at the very end. The girl on her other side however, was soon to be her best friend at the very beginning and at the very end.

Ms. Lopez seated herself in the circle too and clapped her hands to get everyone's attention. "Okay everyone, let's all play the 'name-game' so Lani would get to know all of you! I'll start with me, Ms. Lopez." She looked expectantly at a small boy on her right. He yawned widely before realizing that it was his turn. "Deryl." He said hastily. A pig-tailed girl with sharp pink glasses was next and she screamed her name out loud at the top of her lungs. "JESSICA!"

Ms. Lopez didn't say anything about the outburst so everyone else started following JESSICA's lead. "Jason!"

"Jack!"

"Sarah!"

"Conner!"

"Whitney!"

"Maria!" And the list went on and on...

Then it was Lani's turn. Deciding she should make a good impression of herself, she bellowed her name the loudest and longest of them all. "LAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!" When she was done, she was panting a little and everyone was staring at her. The boy next to her was pressing his hands to his ears, preventing the sound damaging his eardrums. He didn't realize it was his turn until a boy next to him poked him in the shoulder.

He looked straight at Lani and yelled, "I hate girls that scream!"

Before Lani could react to the heated declare, Ms. Lopez scolded the boy. "Kyle! That was very rude. Apologize!"

"No." He said stubbornly. That earned him a ten minute time-out in the corner. He sat there sulking while everyone else continued with the "name-game" in a much more smaller volume. When he was allowed to join the group, he came back with an even fouler mood. And the source to make his foul mood disappear was to make Lani Kay, the new girl in a foul mood.

When it was singing the alphabet time, he kept complaining that she sang too loud. And when it was nap time, he constantly kicked her awake while he "slept." Lani finally snapped during snack time when he stole her cookie and pushed her off her seat. And before the teacher could scream, "Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire!" Lani jumped on top of Kyle and hit him as much as she could. With a final battle cry, she shrieked, "Here's something to bite on!" and she sunk her teeth into his arm and bit it.

Ms. Lopez called their parents and Kyle went home crying with a nasty bloody nose and a set of deep teeth marks in his arm. Though Lani had a long lecture about controlling her anger, she couldn't help but feel her mood considerably lighten. And the fact that Kyle Itoi deserved that bite also made her feel better.

Poor Ms. Lopez tried to keep the class in order while eyeing the two troublemakers, but every time they had some kind of group activity, those activities would turn into full blown, little kid riots with the same two always in the middle of it.

The parents and teachers tried to do everything to make them at least acknowledge each other; but Kyle and Lani would have none of that. They were sworn enemies and had the exact relationship a cat and a dog would have. Finally, finding no other choice, they placed the two into different classes until they became more civilized and nonviolent.

THIS was the start of a constant and incredibly pointless battle for pride and dignity between Lani Kay and Kyle Itoi.
