the look in his eyes - a newtmas story

(The idea of Newt being a mute was not originally mine, i do not take the credit, as well as the drawing for the cover. neither are mine, and im so sorry but i cannot find the artist! they are amazing tho!)
Newton Isaacs is a normal teenage boy, besides the fact that he is dangerously smart..but also mute. He hasn't spoken in three years, and until a new kid arrives, he doesn't seem to like anyone at school. Newt struggles with depression, loneliness, and worst of all, his sexuality. Will this new kid become a friend to Newt? Or could it possibly turn into more?
(all characters belong to the incredible author, James Dashner)
*this story is currently on hold as I, the author is going through some personal things at the moment and need to get past that before writing. thank you for understanding!!
