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

 He gives me one last cheeky smile before leaving, and every interaction between him and my mother makes me turn away to cringe. 


 Olivia and Ron, by the end of it all, are struck with complete silence and have decided to take the discussion of the night’s events up to my bedroom. 


Me: Are you okay? Are you safe? Are you alive? 


Me: But are you okay? Are you safe? Are you alive? 


Me: He just left. Don’t worry. Nothing out of the ordinary happened –I just got a general idea of how his madness works, mentally. 


AnusPainUs: He can’t become a regular visitor, Malory. I won’t let that happen. 


Me: I’m handling it well, okay? He’s asking all the right questions, I’m giving him the right answers. I know how his brain works. Sadly, his way of thinking is a lot like mine. I’m a little disgusted by the thought of it, but I think it’s also a good thing. I can handle him.
