❝So we're basically manipulating people?❞ ❝We're not manipulating anyone. We're trying to prove to people that boys don't just like girls and girls don't just like boys; that everyone is equal despite their differences; that humans should never be seen as possessions that can be toyed with for however long we deem fit. We're changing the world, one completely misguided, overly-societal high-schooler at a time.❞ ➳ And so it begins; the inevitable altering of the world, captained by Genevieve and her band of mismatched misfits.

The Philosophers' Club has only one guideline: Quote and be quoted. In order to spread their ideas about life to as many unsuspecting "followers" as possible by high school graduation, these teens can't just dispense adages - they have to take risks. It's the ultimate social experiment, infused with the spirit of competition. For the past three years, the game has been kept a secret by four teenage boys who call each other by the names of famous Greek philosophers: Socrates, Plato, Diogenes, and Aristotle. But on the eve of their senior year, the new girl in town accidentally stumbles into one of their underground meetings and the club's unwritten code of "No Girls Allowed" is finally broken. Needless to say, the fight for Victory is about to get a lot tougher.

*read under your own discretion* Chancellor isn't just your average girl. She's sarcastic, witty, and doesn't let people step over her. But there's more to that.

But that all changes, especially when you throw in four other people in a book store. You're bound to have chaos. And it brought meaning to her life. From broken to fixed. From being friendless to having four best friends. From being lost to finding herself. Maybe having something new isn't so bad. A gift, perhaps. Maybe the gift of nothing. Which means everything. 《fin》
