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

 “Is he okay?” asks the taxi driver, “He looks like he’s in pretty bad shape, are you sure you don’t want to take him to a hospital instead?” 


 “We don’t have time to get to a hospital,” I say. 


 The driver sighs and shakes his head, continuing to drive. 


 I stare down at Kyle, whose head is leaning against my shoulder. He pants, his body shivering and shaking. He’s still bleeding, too. 


 I won’t make him talk. I’ll take him home, clean him up, and let him get some rest. 


 When we get to the house, I realise that I don’t have my keys. 


 “Kyle,” I say, setting him down on the doorstep, “Do you have a hairpin?” 


 “It’s open,” he tells me, “When I got here earlier,” he pauses to breathe, “It was locked but I picked it,” he coughs and cringes, hugging himself, “I just closed it before I ran off.” 


 I open the door and take him inside, and there I proceed to take care of him.
