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

 It’s Saturday night. My shift at Nadine’s has finally ended and I’m finally heading home. 


 It just keeps getting colder and colder as the days go by. I pass familiar people and familiar streets; I hum to myself the song that I have to sing for the play, over and over again until I get it right. 


 I unlock the door and step inside, shutting it and dragging my boots against the doormat to get some snow off of it. I pull the scarf off from around my neck. I switch on the lights. I head upstairs. I drop my bag on the floor and flop backwards onto my bed to lie like I’m making a snow angel. I stare at my ceiling. 


 I check my phone. It’s not that late. 


 The WIFI lags before I’m actually able to see what I’ve missed online while I was out. I’ve gotten messages from Olivia and Katy, and some from other school friends. 


 I check the girl’s group chat first.
