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

 Friday finally arrives. Rehearsals are over and I stand with Ron and Olivia at the entrance doors of the auditorium. 


 “Don’t you have to be at work in about an hour?” Olivia asks me. 


 “I spoke to Nadine about the situation with my play, a while back. Friday’s work has been handed over to another part timer for the while, so I’ll be free on Friday evenings completely. What joy!” I say, sarcastically. 


 “Can I see the paper again?” she asked. 


 I fumble into my jeans pocket to pull the slip of paper with Kyle’s address on it. I hand it to her. 


 “Millennium Lane...” I let the name escape my lips for the first time. “Sounds fancy. I’ve never heard of it.” 


 “I’ll have to take a taxi to get there,” I tell them. 


 “Keep your phone close,” Olivia says, going off on an anxious tantrum. “Call immediately if there’s trouble. In fact, have both Ron and me on speed dial.” 


 I leave, walking up the sidewalk from the school compound to get to the main road where I would be sure to find a taxi.
