Carpinteria Stories

[Rewritten Version] "Here's the thing I don't understand. If you drink at a party you're fun and interesting, but if you drink alone you're just sad." "So I guess I'm just sad." "But I'm here." "So what does that make us?" "Somewhere in between." Columbia, a girl who was hated in her old town, moves to a beautiful, sunny beach town in California named Carpinteria, where she meets Brad and Magenta, two people who become friends with her almost instantly. Her life seems to be going perfectly until she gets a call from her father, a man who she hasn't talked to since she was six.
