On The Outside Looking In
Summary
After the death of her father, Arriana Gregorio, along with her mother, her best friend Joey Wheeler, and his father, Bill, move to Newark, New Jersey.
Korey Sullivan is a self-absorbed, introverted outcast who doesn't quite fit in anywhere. He's madly in love with Jessica LaTovey and admires her from afar, waiting for his chance.
Enter Jackie James, Jessica LaTovey, Gerard and Mikey Way, Ray Toro, Frank Iero, and Bob Bryar. A crowd of misfits that frequently occupy the arched entrance of Newark High during break. These kids are insane, they're all artistic in one way or another, and they look like a lot of fun to hang out with.
But Arriana's Social Anxiety prevents her from introducing herself, and Korey's selfish desires keep him from being a part of the crowd. Until one day, everything changes...
