Voiceless Love
[ON HOLD...sadly] Who knew "the sex god" and a deaf girl would ever hit it off? Levi sure didn't. ***** Levi Campbell, who goes to Yellow Meadows High School, home of the Monarch Butterflies, is known to be a sex god. From hooking up with random chicks at parties with his best friend, Brady to having sex on school grounds, Levi felt like senior year would be a cruiser. But when Brady fractures his kneecap and Levi's grade in English goes down, he's left with one option and one opportunity only, to write a twenty line poem by the end of the year that's worth half of his overall grade. And to get full credit, he has to write it with a partner which so happens to be the new deaf girl while also being Brady's driver to his physical therapy sessions. While Levi tries to figure the quiet girl out, he never would've thought he'd soon be wrapped around her small fingers by the end of school as she took his dominants without his consent. But Brady and his friends don't like what they see and can't let this slide.
