Marney in the Middle

A Malcolm in the Middle fanfiction.

After fifteen-year-old Marney Dillon moves to a new town in Southern California, her sister decides it's the perfect opportunity for her to remake herself. She'll trade fantasy writing for jewelry, role playing for the latest fashion, and books for boys. Her first assignment in Makeover Marney? Get the bad boy.

Enter Reese Wilkerson. A seventeen-year-old bully who fits her assignment perfectly. Mean, tough and not a road scholar, she picks him instantly. But the assignment doesn't go as planned when she meets Reese's brother, Malcolm. A kid with a brain that just won't quit, they seem right for each other. Perfect even. Well, perfect for old-Marney at least.

Can Marney juggle her sister's assignments and rules while keeping her feelings for Malcolm in check? And what will happen when her feelings for Reese, the bad boy to fulfill her first assignment, actually develop into something real? Now Marney must decide: Popularity, Reese, Malcolm, or none of the above.
