   Summary

   Gerard Way is a senior in high school that has anthropophobia which is the fear of people, crowds, eye contact, and being judged. When his therapist diagnosed him with anthropophobia he was taken out of school, but still did it online.

   Frank Iero just moved in next door from Gerard. He goes to school, plays guitar, and loves music. When they meet will Gerard be able to ignore his phobia or will he hide away forever?
