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

 I fidget in the waiting room, my foot tapping on the floor in anxiety, my hands shaking. I wish I could step outside to get some fresh air, but it’s way too cold, and I’m way too afraid that something might happen in the few seconds that I’m gone. Hayden paces the floor in front of me. 


 “So,” Hayden says. “Who is she? Clearly you know her. Clearly she knows you to have followed us there.” 


 “What’s your secret?” I ask. “I’ll tell you who she is if you tell me your secret. So we’re even.” 


 He sits beside me and folds his arms. “Ace has bait on all of us. He isn’t going to stop running the organisation… and it won’t stop being run even after he’s long gone. He’s got you in the process of learning how to continue it –doesn’t he? You’ll probably find out the dirt he has on me eventually. I don’t need to willingly spill my guts to you.”
