Lavina was scared to walk away from Leo and line up with the rest of the class for pre-school. Once they got to the class the teacher pulled her into the hallway to ask her about her "Dad".
"Does your father do anything to hurt you." Asked Mrs. Catrena.
"Why would you ask that? My daddy would never hurt me, and he dressed like that to cover up burns he got in the car accident that killed my mommy."
"Oh god, i'm so sorry Lavina, had i known i would have never brought it up. I am really sorry."
"It's alright, you didn't know. Can we go inside the class room now?" Lavina asked, annoyed my the teachers curiosity. They both went inside and the day continued.
"Okay class, lets all take a seat at a table. I want every one to come up and introduce yourself, just say your whole name and something about you. Who wants to go first."
Lavina and another girl both raised their hands. The other girl had short blond hair and wore a purple shirt with a grey fox printed on it. Lavina pointed at the other girl telling her to go first without speaking a word.
"Hello, my name is Jade Fox Corona and I like to be called Fox." What Lavina wouldn't learn tell years later is that Jade was the daughter of Kari who had changed her last name to Corona. Next was Lavina.
"Hi, I'm Lavina O'Neil Jones and I am being taught the way of the ninja by my daddy."
The rest of the class introduced themselves and then it was time to color in the lines of the coloring books.
"Do you want to sit next to me?" Fox asked Lavina. Lavina shook her head yes and sat next to Fox.
They both became best friends instantly and even slept next to each other during nap time. Later Leo came to pick Lavina up, and was really happy to hear that she had a lot of fun.
