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

 “The more she says that, the more I feel like I’m about to get a heart attack,” Ron says, groaning. “I worry too much.” 


 I scoff. “You do. Malory can handle herself. You’re just being a mom again.” 


 My phone vibrates in my pocket, and I dread taking it out. I’m hoping that it’s Malory. 


 And I unfortunately have to take this call. 


 “I’ll be back,” I say, shoving my phone back into my pocket and walking out of the room. 


 “Where you going,” Ron asks, glaring. 


 “To take a piss –what, you wanna join me?” I ask, sarcastically. 


 “You know you really do make me question your sexuality,” he yells, jokingly. 


 I’m thankful that Ron’s house is huge. I hurry downstairs but I don’t go to the bathroom. I head outside instead. I shut the front door. I pull the phone back out of my pocket. 


 I answer it. I look around. There’s no one outside –no one nearby. 


 “Kyle,” Hayden says, on the line.
