Welcome to Lisbrooke, California!
Come here to enjoy our beautiful beaches and perfect weather (please drink a lot of fluids as there has been a recent incident of heat exhaustion). Don't forget to take a dip into our clear waters (swimming after hours is prohibited for your own safety) and enjoy a delicious cupcake afterwards from Lisbrooke's finest (and only) dessert shop on the pier (any food fights are punishable by Miss Rosalind's wrath).
P.S!
Beware of the cranky, award-winning director residing on Hallot's Drive. He can be... cranky.
Danger! Caution: the football player living on the outskirts of town will cause severe heart palpitations and may cause a case of cardiac arrest.
We recommend you take a visit in our sleepy sea-side town to relax and go onto one hell (our apologies, Mrs. Lowe)-heck of a ride!
It's the ideal place to shoot your short film and make great friends.
Just remember, you're only here for the summer.

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Complete

That's Right We Are Teens!!!
We believe in pink. We believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. We believe in kissing, kissing a lot. We believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. We believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. We believe that tomorrow is another day and we believe in miracles ~ Audrey Hepburn. Yes, we're girls. Not average teen girls or clichéd teen girls... just teen girls. Simple and short. We go through way more problems than your average teen girl and those problems are way more real and practical than that of your clichéd teen girl. We're just teen girls. Peace. I'm Char. I'm Nicole. I'm Amanda. And I'm Claire and this, is the story of our lives. No, we aren't gonna search for quotes implying we're guys. Wanna know why? Either yes or no, to be honest neither of us know why. All you need to know is that we're teenagers with a clichédly dramatic life. Not a cliché... Just clichédly dramatic. I'm Eric. And I'm Chris. Peace. Darn it, they said that already? So... Uh... Love ya, xoxo. P.S THAT SOUNDS SO WRONG. WE'RE NEVER SAYING IT AGAIN!Complete
