What is there to tell? I'm mute. That's about all there is to me.

I doubt you're that boring.

Dan is mute.

For him, a new school is terrifying. Of course, things are easier when you've got a guide like Phil Lester. He's the dean's son who speaks fluent sign language and knows more about the students than Dan imagined.

Along with a new friend comes people Dan thought he could trust. From bullies to fakes, their two-faced ways may shake his world forever.

The once happy prospect of school suddenly becomes a burden for Dan. Will the possibility of newfound love hurt or heal him?

AUTHOR'S NOTE

not all characters are accurate reflections of the people irl. i had to depict them a certain way in order to make them fit into the plot. some characteristics are fake.

because dan is mute, i've come up with an easy way for you to understand what he is saying in sign language. whenever he is speaking, instead of having a quote, i will style it like this:
Hi, my name is Dan, he signed.
(the translations will be italicized.)
