Not Hearing, Fearing and... Love?

Aaliyah Ashwood has had a boring life of homeschool and moving. When her parents told her that they were moving to their last home she was ecstatic and extremely doubtful. Her family was an open, friendly group of people who have gone through a lot of suffering when last year Aaliyah's younger brother died. Her younger brother Sam got run over because he wasn't able to hear the car, it was nearly impossible to survive in New York City when your deaf and only seven.

At Rockwell High the cliques are extremely cliché. The jocks bully the nerds, the 'emos' hang out with the outcasts but Blake Hartope the school's bad boy ignores every rule of high school while being scary, popular and deaf. Blake ignores everyone that he doesn't care for meaning the only person he talks to is his best friend Kurt Samureye who he has known for about ten years.

How does Aaliyah fit in? Why is Blake important? And how will Aaliyah's parents react to her being friends with someone so like her younger brother?
