Cheap greeting cards and Disney movies tell us that true love never dies, that once you've found your soulmate, there can be no one else for you. In California, the wonderful possibility of a soul that is so in-sync with your own that it can be none other then your soulmate lives in the mind, subconsciously or no, of every resident. Whether it be a child, whose parents whisper soft words of a shining prince in armor coming to save the princess in her tower, or a teen stuck on drugs and alcohol, who is desperate to be saved. It could be you thinking these thoughts, even if you're not aware of it, and those who think love is lost to the world secretly dream for their own husband or wife to whisper sweet things into their ear. In a place of gorgeous, colorful sunsets and glittering beaches littered with girls dressed for the summer in bikinis, and guys watching as they tan in the sun, it is the perfect place for romance to bloom. Even if it's a short-lived flame that sputters out after the first date, or a wildfire that burns into your senior years.

Kingsford is small. Unnoticeable. Beautiful. Attractive for those who like to keep their history as a history. Many people seeking shelter from harsh lives come here for a break - to the stunning, shining blue beaches and streets where everyone there is your neighbor. It's lively and gorgeous, too small to be shown on the map but too large to be called a 'small city'. The people there are friendly and kind - it's a picture perfect place. If you're just passing through, there's nothing different about it then any other small city on the west coast. But if you're a citizen, it's a completely different story.

Everyone who lives in the city is bound to find someone who, for a lack of better word, is their 'soulmate'. Sometimes it's after lots of heartbreak and pain, and sometimes it comes up on them when they least expect it or when they're most vulnerable. Those who've given up on finding love can find it here - the backdrop: the lively streets, and romantic sunsets, and picnics in the park might be the reason. Or maybe it's simply because of fate. One thing is for sure - it's not just coincidence.

NOTE: the highschool and college are combined.
