Malory and Kyle must participate in the annual April Fest production as the leading co-stars. If they can cooperate by the end of the production, their long records of uncivilized behaviour towards each other will be forgotten. 
Malory and Kyle attempt to cooperate, grabbing the opportunity to make a positive impact on their own future. In the process, they become entangled in the chaos of the other’s personal life. Malory learns of Kyle’s disturbing reality, and Kyle learns of Malory’s scarring past. Can these two brilliant but messy teens learn to rely on each other in the face of their silent battles?

Between The Lines

 There’s a large, round, black forest cake, already sliced into pieces, sitting on the table. There are so many bottles of beer and vodka and juice that I can already see the hangover everyone’s going to have when this is all over. I don’t want to be a part of the drunkenness. At least not this time. 


 We’re all sitting around the dining room table –usually empty and quiet unless my mom is home- and we’re playing a game. We’re playing ‘Most Likely.’ 


 “Most likely to dump a girl and then call her up for a one night stand –and have her accept it,” Ron says. 


 Olivia laughs. “Why do I feel like that’s you?” 


 “What?” he asks, “Seriously?” 


 “You have to drink, Kyle. Take the drink, Davidson, take the drink,” Ron says, hanging him a plastic cup full of vodka and orange juice.
