Two families have been in separable since the 25 years their parents have known each other, problem is their kids are at war with each other. Since the day Lala Smith and Jonah James turned 10 they have been at war, though they never knew why. At the age of seventeen their still at war, Lala is now the tomboy at school who people are scared off, Jonah on the other hand is the golden boy of the school, the player, jock or mostly known as popular. But when Lala's mum dies in a car accident, she is left in the care of Jonah's mother Claire (as she was named for guardianship of Lala, if anything ever happened, as her mother never knew her father). Jonah tries to comfort Lala after the accident but she ends up pushing him away from the little progress of what he made. They ignore each other at school and pretend everything is the same, though deep down Jonah feels sorry for Lala as he knows how close she use to be to her Mother and all he wants to do is comfort his old best friend, but he can't as she keeps pushing him away. One night Lala drinks herself hoping to rid herself of the pain that is in her heart; only even it is for a couple of hours. Jonah finds herself in that state and for some reason she seems to think she needs him; to fill up the emptiness that is in her heart. Jonah pushes her kisses away and tells her she needs to sober up before Claire is home as she would have a fit, she feels rejected, but now she knows why they have always been at war, they had been at war for each others hearts. Burring her feelings she knows nothing can (WOULD) happen as they were two separate people, but when they begin to get closer as Lala's mothers funeral arrives she can't help but lean on him for support, she cries her heart out letting out everything; even about the way she feels for him, he tells her he feels the same. At school he is pushed to decide between Lala and his friends (His status at school), he decides Lala and happiness washes over her. They fall in love but it is shortly out lived as Lala finds a letter that is written to her from her mother, it tells her who her father is. It tells her that her Father is Craig – Jonah's father.
