Salty Limes

Wild cinnamon brown curls.
Curious eyes and a quirky smile.
Ripped jeans and band shirts.
Mixed patterns and strange colors.
Brief moments of strength.

Kar White.

Whose name during role call makes all the teachers laugh (White car, ha ha).

Whose father thought the name Kara was "too girly".

Who dreams without sleeping.

Who has a fiery temper and a messy past with a careless boy.

***

When Kar comes back to her hometown, San Diego, California, after basically a year of vacation in the "City of Love", Paris France, she never expects her old life and high school to come and hit her smack dab in the nose, demanding answers.

It's tough to keep sight of who you are and what you want for yourself when surrounded by people who live, eat and breath society's acceptance, and are willing to do whatever is asked to obtain it.

But the young are meant to be united and strong.

Brake through the surface, and own your life.

You've only got one.
