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

 Nothing’s different when I arrive on the school compound bright and early this morning. Ron meets me halfway to the door and we walk in together –bickering about our rehearsals about how well they seem to be going. 


 There’s one difference today, though. I’m earlier than Malory. She’s not in her class when I peek in to check, though Kyle is already up and running –probably on caffeine. 


 Kyle’s looking a little pale today. 


 When intermission rolls in, I finally catch a glimpse of Malory and Ron leaving their classroom. I stroll towards them with a relieved smile. 


 “How late did you stay up last night?” I ask her. “You came late today.” 


 “She rushed into class just as the first period was about to start,” Ron says, laughing. “Mal looked like she’d seen a ghost or something.” 


 “Did you sleep at all?” I ask, worried. “You do look... exhausted, today.”
