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

There’s a knock on the front door. I open it to find Kyle staring down at the door mat. When he sees me, he stares for a moment. 


 “I made ramen, would you like some?” I ask, walking back inside and heading to the kitchen. 


 He watches as I walk away, and then follows behind me. “Where’s Grey?” 


 “Why?” I ask, reaching into the dish drainer for two bowls. 


 There’s a thud from the top of the staircase and Grey stumbles down, yawning. 


 “Malory, now’s not the time to act stupid,” he says. 


 “I guess you don’t want any ramen,” I say, putting the bowl back into the dish drainer. “The living room’s empty, you can go sit there in the meantime.” 


 He pushes me towards the corner and blocks any escape I have to leave. He leans in. He speaks softly. 


 “Malory,” he says, sombre, “What happened?”
