Prologue:
Kara was a freshman when she first met the infamous Scott Tracy, who was also a freshman but due to his father was already infamous at the school. At first sight Kara fell in love he was so handsome and seemed to carry an air of humor and seriousness. That was until she actually was introduced, he was a jerk. He had immediately said some comment along the line of her hair being a perfect home for rats. It was from that point on that they were at war with each other.
Scott started the first prank, which led Kara to meet Jesse who then suggested that the quiet girl fight back with her own prank. Thinking she wouldn't go through with it but underneath that careful façade of quiet observation was a intense, and wild girl. The prank war continued all through the four years to see who would give up first neither gave in thought at one point Scott slowed down when Jesse had been around her.
Kara's grandmother was slightly worried about her in this battle of pranks but that was mainly due to her worried about her granddaughter being hurt. She did not want to lose her like she did her son and daughter in-law in that awful plane crash when Kara was just a baby. So when Kara went to graduate she was so happy to think the trouble would end. The problem with Scott Tracy was soon replaced with the fact that Kara wanted to join the army and be a doctor. Kara's grandmother argued vehemently for Kara not to join the military because she knew she would be sent off possibly to dangerous places. But Kara was stubborn and did was she desired.
As soon as she had finished school and spent a few years on a base Kara's grandmother passed away from a heart attack. Kara was heartbroken and was now completely alone with no family, all except for Jesse and her brother Mike who had become like a sister and brother.
