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

 “No,” I say, my voice shaking and breaking. 


 I run; I stand when I hear his footsteps quickening towards the door and I run. I run through the door frame with no door. I run through the empty, cobwebbed corridor to the dark steps that lead downstairs. My feet slam against each of the wooden steps as I hurry downstairs. 


 “WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?” He yells. “ANSWER ME OR I’LL SHOOT!” 


 I run. I run. I run. I make it to the front door. I run out of the house. The familiar blue car bends the corner from the main road and enters Carson Street. 


 The footsteps inside the warehouse become louder and I know that Kyle is near. I run left –in the opposite direction of both him and the car. 


 I can’t tell if what I just witnessed was a suicide or a murder. 


 “Malory!?” He yells in disbelief from the distance.
