Keith's P.O.V
------------------

      __________... the name I grew to absolutely hate with a fiery passion. I never knew how evil a human being could be since I had first met her, that's if, she's even considered a human being. How could someone be so greedy? So absolutely infuriating? I didn't even know it was possible to hate someone so much. This girl was an actual villian! I had my reasons to hate her and here I'll tell you why.

     It all started when I was six years old, I had gone with my dad to go run some errands in town. It was pretty boring the whole time, considering that all I had to do was follow my dad and watch him buy a whole bunch of stuff like food or supplies, that is, until we came across one of the most amazing places on planet Earth, the toy store.

      The most wondrous place where kids could spend their parents' money to buy some of the coolest toys and collectables. Speaking of collectables, I had been collecting all the Voltron toy lions and I only needed the red lion to complete it. Unfortunately the red lion was the hardest to get, but fortunately they had it sitting behind the window along with all the other lions. I gasped and pulled on my dad's sleeve, dragging him over to the window. I pointed at the figure through the glass and looked up at him with pleading eyes.

      "Dad can I pleeeease get the red lion? It's the last one I need and it's the special edition!" He looked over at the price and his eyes filled with concern.

       "Sorry kiddo, I don't have enough money on me for that. Maybe we could get it some other time?" He ruffled my hair and my heart dropped. He grasped my hand and began to walk away, I trailed quietly behind him, my eyes cast down.

      "Mommy look! It's the red lion!"

   I stopped and let my hand drop from my dad's, I whipped my head around and saw a little girl around my age with messy {H/C} hair and bright {E/C} eyes, tugging at her mother's dress while she talked on the phone.

       I narrowed my eyes felt jealousy begin to linger and stir within me.

       "Yes, that's nice _________. Maybe you can sell some of your girl scout cookies to get enough money to buy it." Her mother pulled her along whilst keeping the phone to her ear.

       The girl, __________, smiled and skipped to keep up with her mom.

      Looks like I have some competition to get that lion.

      I set up a table out on the front lawn by the sidewalk, I had a jar of sugar, a lemon squeezer, an ice chest full of ice, and a box full of precut lemons. Yep, I made a lemonade stand. I needed to make money fast in order to get that lion before that girl did. This was my only shot and I wasn't throwing it away.

      I got my homemade lemonade sign (which took me a long time to put together because I needed to write neat enough so it was eligible.) Which was written in red crayon and had alot of stickers plastered on it. I leaned it against the table and sat on my chair, waiting patiently for some customers.

      I looked across the street and saw the same girl, but she had a stand too, for girl scout cookies! Hatred seeped as I noticed her wearing a forest green and brown scout uniform with alot of patches sewed onto it. A little brown {hat/bow} was on her head to match the uniform. The sign she had was decorated in glitter and little drawings of cookies, even the handwriting looked nice. I looked down at myself, I wore some overalls that were stained with dirt and grass, a striped red and white shirt, and my dirty burgundy converse. I needed to up my game if I wanted to get that special edition lion before her.
