The Heartbreakers Club

#Open Novella Contest 2019

Shortly after the unfortunate incident that had almost destroyed Felix's life, he had been approached by Seth Calvarez, a young man responsible for recruiting new members. Seth had explained in great detail how the club worked and had made a proposal that had been just too good to be rejected. Just a few days later, Felix had found himself standing in front of an old janitor's closet in the basement of the Gilbert building at the Stanford University campus. He would have never thought that day that the hidden club beyond the closet would become his second home and the main source of his income. Two years later, he was a full-fledged member, and his aim was to become one of the Elite - a group of the best heartbreakers in The Heartbreakers Club.

"Just give it up, Withers. Your perfect hair and that stupid smirk of yours won't impress me." She flipped her hair and started walking away.
