A fashion show put on by Callahan students to raise money for a charitable cause. This year the cause is a charity that gives money, clothes, and food to the needy people around the area, since if we want to help people we should start at home. At the end of the show the clothes are auctioned in a silent auction.

California, a place where once you think you know everything going on in the world, everything can be turned upside down. Now of course the world isn’t really going to turn upside down, but in a sense your world can be turned upside down after just a few words surface.
As for everyone who lives here and either attends a prestigious private school, or a boarding school, they never know when this is coming, and sometimes it comes in the form of a tragedy that strikes the community, and other times it comes in the form of a personal loss. Boyfriend jumped off a cliff, sister died, brother died, family ignores you, went to rehab for most the summer, paid your way into school, we see a bit of everything, you discover your parents really aren’t your parents. You name it, and it has happened here, and then it happens again, and again, and again.
This place is full of everyone, jocks, sluts, artists, lawyers, bums, and then there are the elite. The elite are the ones who rule the city and everyone knows who they are, well at least at their schools. Outside of Callahan Academy, there is another world. Public School. Very different from the world of the rich people, public school is where the people who can’t afford the high priced prestigious schools, the ones we don’t really know who they are, that is until one of our own ends up there. It hasn’t happened yet, but wouldn’t that just be grand to see the elite crash and burn, since it is all anyone hopes for around here.
Welcome to California, so do you really want to stay?
There are a few places you can fit into this world we call California.
Callahan Student: These are those rich kids you see walking around in school uniforms all the time, and they really are rich, and know just about everything. There are a few here on scholarship, but those people don't quite fit in with most people at Callahan Academy.
West Union Student: A public non boarding school. These are mostly the lower class students around us. They are the surfers, and mostly don't fit in with the usual rich dynamic around us. West Union is a public school not too far from Callahan, and it isn't the greatest of schools.
Teacher/Local: These are your normal people, when you think all the drama about money will go away, well it doesn't. Many of the teachers here are young, so they have even some students looking at them for a night, and then there are some that are the locals who are models or photographers with real jobs, and then there's a surfer or two.
