Bella Price and Zach Evans have been best friends since literally the day they were born. They're not the ones in love with each other - in fact, Bella's in love with his best friend, Kayden Taylors.
She just needs to get rid of someone from her pas...

Natalie Price gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She was holding the baby in her arms while she slept. Countless pictures were being taken by her parents and family, along with her husband's. They'd been together for six years and they were struggling to get pregnant since they graduated college until Natalie took a pregnancy test and it was positive.
A bunch of names were brought up:
Emily (which the dad, Owen Price, wasn't that fond of because 'she doesn't feel like an Emily').
Autumn (she was born in the Autumn time and it sounded beautiful, but they thought they should experiment with more names before they settled with Autumn).
Hannah (suggested by Natalie's parents and it sounds like a cute name for a while, but then they realize that that doesn't feel right either).
The list went on until they think about Isabella. They thought about cuter nicknames that they would call her like Belles or Bella (the most popular one).
That was when they decided on the name and they promised their baby they'd do anything to protect her.

Naomi and Brian Evans had a little, beautiful baby boy - a healthy one as well. They were told that he might be sick, but (so far) he seemed to be perfectly fine. They already had a name for him since Naomi was five months pregnant:
Zachary Matthew Evans.
The room was already filled with blue 'It's a boy' balloons and flowers on any available counter. The grandparents were looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed which was most likely the result of about three cups of coffee. Naomi was in tears - holding the baby against her chest. She was in disbelief that the baby was here as she stared into his eyes.
When they got home, they were surprised with a welcome home party for the baby. Even their family from New York traveled across the country holding a banner with balloons and flowers.
That baby boy was going to grow up feeling loved and spoiled by everyone in his family.

-5 years later-
Once they were dropped off at kindergarten on their first day and their parents were finished with their goodbyes, Bella grabbed Zach's hand to pull him inside their classroom.
The purple walls were covered with math posters and there was a border wallpaper that wrote out the alphabet throughout the room.
Kids were sitting at their desks and others packing their cubbies with their lunchboxes, hanging their backpacks underneath. The teacher stood up in front of the class and instructed them to sit at the desks with their names.
When they got to their four-desked seats, there was Zach, Bella and two other boys. Only one was polite enough to start a conversation.
"Hey, my name is Kayden. What's yours?"
He was a good-looking kid with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Zach was the first one to talk. "I'm Zach. Wanna be friends?"
"Yeah!"
Up until recess, they spent the morning learning about the letters and how they were pronounced. Once the recess bell rang, all the students rushed outside to the little kid playground.
Bella, not knowing anyone else, clung to Zach who, immediately, met up with Kayden. He was swinging on the swings when they approached him and Zach grabbed the swing next to him. Bella awkwardly stood there, too shy to start a conversation.
She wished she was as social as Zach - someone who could just walk up to someone and introduce themselves to a random kid. She was fully prepared to say no when her parents asked her if she had met any friends.
Bella was brought out of her daydream when a voice shouted her name.
"Come swing with us!"
It was Kayden.
She sat in the third swing in the set and slowly rocked back and forth until Kayden, who was swinging about a bajillion feet high, slowed down to hop off and push her so she could swing as high as Zach.
Once Bella got more comfortable with the swing, her tense shoulders relaxed and giggles escaped her lips.
She had no idea what she got herself into.

Aaaaand here is the very short prologue!
I wanted to just introduce the fact that they were born on the same day by telling the stories of what was happening in the room they were born in.
