Lunna and Leena Scobell have known each other for years—ever since Lunna moved from Los Angeles to San Francisco because of her father’s job as a pilot, a move that required her to switch cities and schools at the age of six. The Mayfield family found an amazing house with a very close neighbor—separated by just a single tree between the two properties—and the Scobells were the ones living next door. At first, Lunna wasn't particularly close with Walker; she was friends only with Leena and Tanner, even though Walker was also six and Leena was two years older than both of them. Over time, the families became inseparable, even building a tree bridge that connected Leena’s and Lunna’s windows. When Leena turned twelve, she was diagnosed with leukemia; Lunna was her best friend and rock throughout the entire treatment, even shaving her head alongside her (and buying wigs with Leena to hide their baldness). Leena doesn't know where she would be without Lunna. Now, years later—with Lunna at seventeen and Leena at nineteen—the leukemia is gone, and surprisingly, Walker and Lunna have become best friends who get along incredibly well, a far cry from the days when he was just "the annoying guy who bugged her." Walker is now a hugely famous actor working on projects like *Percy Jackson* (PJO), and over the years, he has fallen in love with Lunna. She pretends not to feel anything—acting as if she still finds him annoying—but deep down, she definitely has feelings for him and sees him in a whole new light.
