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

 Everything is perfect. We’ve got food, fun, champagne and each other. 


 I hear a car pull up to the front of our house. It takes my attention away from the laugher in the room. 


 Everyone at the table turns to look at the front door, confused as to who could possibly be parking outside. 


 “Were you expecting someone, Mrs Lloyd?” Ron asks. 


 Mom thinks, biting her lip as she raises a piece of ham on a fork to her lips. She drops it in realisation. “Oh, wait a minute!” She says, her eyes lighting up. “Oh yes! Yes,” she says, looking around, frantically, “Oh dear,” she says, fluffing her hair, “Oh no, Malory is there food around my mouth?” 


 I look at my mother, processing the situation. “Mom,” I say, “No, there’s no food… who else was joining us tonight?” 


 I turn to Kyle. Our eyes lock as we share the same sentiments. 


It's Christmas [4]
