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

 The Diner closes and I spot Malory walking out with a blonde girl who looks our age. I walk out of the bookstore and into the cold again and she spots me from the distance and waves. 


 “Hey,” I say, shoving my hands into my jacket pockets. 


 “Katy,” Malory says, “This… is Kyle Davidson.” 


 “Oh, so you’re that Kyle Davidson I keep hearing about,” she says, staring me down from my feet to my hair. 


 “Uhh,” I turn to Malory, “How many people have you told about me exactly?” 


 “Like everyone?” She says, smirking and shaking her head with an eye roll. 


 I smirk. “I didn’t know I was that important.” 


 “You’re so thick-headed,” She says, turning to Katy, “See? I told you he was a prick.” 


 “You didn’t tell me he got a haircut,” Katy replies. 


 Malory scoffs, “Yea, well it doesn’t matter. It suits the whole asshole demeanour.” 


 I tap my chest and sniffle, “I’m right here, Lloyd. I’m right here.”
