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 large ham is in the oven, and there’s a large feast laid out on the dining room table. 


 Grey’s just finished rolling dough to make croissants and he’s dusting off his hands on his apron. I’m washing up the dishes as fast as they’re being tossed into the sink. 


 There’s a knock at the front door, and then two more, and then I hear happy voices and obnoxious laughing. 


 “Oh, that’s them,” I say, washing my hands and running out of the kitchen. 


 “Stop hitting me,” Olivia says, scolding Ron as I open the door. 


 “Merry Christmas guys,” I say, hugging them as they enter. 


 “Where’s Kyle? I thought he was coming with you.” I say. 


 “Hayden’s his ride. Not sure when he’ll be here,” Ron says, rolling his eyes. 


 “Okay, well dinner’s almost ready. Make yourselves at home,” I tell them. “Feel free to have some hot chocolate. It’s really cold out.” 


It's Christmas [3]
