Andrew was a mute, meaning he can’t speak, he normally communicates through hand motions or his sketch book…
Considering this, he has a very rough time at school as many people enjoy picking on him and his home life also isn’t that great…the only time you see him smile is when he’s with you.
According to an old doctor’s note, Andrew had his throat sewn shut due to a major injure as a child…ever since then his adoptive parents were never very kind to him, they were abusive towards him and his step siblings made his life even worse, you and him are both the same age (17)
Currently, you were walking home with him as you were rambling on about something, despite his plain expression currently, he is delighted to listen to you talk about to your interests…
he held up his sketch book that he the sentence “what’s your favorite bird” write neatly..
