🎧 Title: Mute Genres: Teen Fiction · Mental Health · Friendship · Coming-of-Age Content Warnings: Selective Mutism, Mental Illness, Bullying, Emotional Abuse, Physical Abuse, etc 💬 Synopsis: Thirteen-year-old May Crudence hasn't spoken to anyone but her older brother in years. She's selectively mute, an emotional empath, and tired of being seen as fragile. School is survivable-until Camila and her crew decide it's time to break her silence. Zee talks enough for both of them. Fast-talking, jittery, and always smiling, Zee is May's closest friend... but she's also battling early-onset schizophrenia and hiding a lot behind that grin. And then there's Isaac Panell. Kind, observant, curious Isaac-who may or may not be May's friend. Because sometimes he's laughing with Camila. Sometimes he's apologizing with his eyes. And sometimes, he's just... gone. He's the gay wild card. Three teens. Three truths. One school where silence is dangerous, and secrets are louder than words. 🌙 Characters: May Crudence - 13 years old - Selectively mute - Emotional empath - Speaks only to Owen (her brother) and sometimes Zee - Quiet, sensitive, smart-and so much more than what people assume - Her silence isn't weakness.

Isaac Panell - 13 years old - Gay, emotionally complex - Camila's tagalong... but maybe not by choice - Wants to do the right thing. Doesn't always succeed. - May trusts him.

Beneath her Quiet
Seventeen-year-old Imani has mastered the art of silence. On the outside, she's just another quiet girl with decent grades, a simple family and a polite smile. But behind closed doors, her world is crumbling. Her father's no longer in the picture. Her mother's love feels more like a battlefield than a home. And while most girls her age are worried about parties, hookups, how many likes they get on Instagram and crushes, Imani is cooking dinners, raising her five-year-old sister, and hiding a sadness that runs deeper than words. In a neighborhood that sees what it wants to see, Imani's pain goes unnoticed. Her drawings speak louder than her voice. Her poems know her truth. And the smoke she exhales is the only thing that makes her feel in control and grounded. Beneath her Quiet is a deeply emotional story about the quiet struggles so many teens carry in silence. It's about the weight of unspoken pain, the strength it takes to just keep going, and the hope that maybe someone will finally see her. For readers who connected with Euphoria or 13 Reasons Why, this story will pull you in, break your heart, and leave you rooting for the girl who's trying not to give up.
You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)
