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

 Just buy a cake. Just buy a cake and cut part of it and take the rest home. You don’t smell like alcohol anymore. You don’t have to tell them what happened. You can make up a story. You’re an actor. You can lie. 


 I pull my wallet to pay the cashier. I take my phone out of my pocket. I unlock my phone to check the time when images from last night immediately pop up. 


 I yell right there in the bakery. I blink a few times as my eyes widen at the screen. I look up and everyone in the room is staring at me. 


 “Sorry,” I whisper in embarrassment. 


 The cashier hands me my change. I grab the bag with the cake and head to my car, resting the bag in the seat next to me and flicking my thumb across the screen as I note the images. 


 -I ran with a boom box down the street –Olivia drank –there’s a video of me running naked down the street with the boom box blaring out that one iconic song –Malory and Kyle kissed. Malory and Kyle kissed.
