Editing The Invisible Frogs (section)

== The Story ==
Who are the Invisible Frogs, and what do they want? That was the question many people were asking on April 26th, 2024, when a mysterious article popped up on the Wiki. The article was written from an anonymous account, so the author was unknown. (See above for the original post) Although the group was initially quite secretive, their mission has now been fulfilled. Because of this, there isn’t a need for secrecy, and we have been given information concerning what happened and why.

It started at an All-Call for the Student Council and Volunteer leaders. [[Cora Metzger]] had suggested that they do an All-Call in the evening for the people in the Eastern Hemisphere who weren’t able to come to the morning calls. The call went as planned, and at the end, there were a few people left who wanted to continue the fun, so they made a second call in a group chat for just that. These people were [[Hallie Griffin]], [[Cora Metzger]], [[Lydia Novak]], and [[Elizabeth Sutherland]]. During the second call, two important things happened: 

1. Hallie mentioned an idea she had thought of: get as many people as possible to vote [[Gabriel Nelson|Gabe Nelson]] for “NOT Ladies Man” in the [[End of the Year Awards]]. She had the idea because he frequently got Ladies man, and she thought it would be funny to see how he would respond.

2. Lydia mentioned waving by wiggling your pointer finger, to which Hallie responded that it looked like you were petting an invisible frog. 

Hence, the “Invisible Frogs” were born. The group started out relatively small. They reached out to approximately 23 people who they trusted to not tell Gabe, and 22 said they were willing to vote Gabe for “NOT Ladies Man” in the End of Year Awards. They ended up recruiting 14 members for the Invisible Frogs, but they left the others involved unaware they were aiding the Invisible Frogs, for security reasons.

The plan quickly became more and more complex. Hallie’s mom gave an idea for another layer to the prank, and on March 27th, A glitter bomb was created, and the plans to send it anonymously to Gabe began. There was a bit of difficulty trying to figure out how to send the letter from a place that wouldn’t reveal Hallie’s location, but her dad managed to send the letter from California on the 24th of April. On April 25th, the frogs put the above article into the NSA wiki using a VPN to mask the location, intending to get a bit of word around to make it more fun and get people curious. This was generally successful, and the next day there were several threads talking about “The Invisible Frogs.” After the article was discovered, Gabriel Nelson recruited Hallie Griffin, along with others, to investigate the Invisible Frogs. At one point there was a major security compromise, but with the help of [[Titus Griffin]], they managed to patch it up as best as possible. Cora Metzger had also been talking to her family about The Invisible Frogs, and a family member gave the idea of getting plastic frogs and putting them on Gabe’s table at graduation. The group liked this idea and decided to scale it up a bit. The plans were set, and all that was left was to wait for the appointed times.

On a call during the Beach Party, Gabe was officially awarded “Not Ladies Man” with 16 votes, and The Invisible Frogs were awarded with “Sneakiest,” “Best Group Chat,” “Best Kept Secret,” and “Most Likely to be Underestimated."<ref>[[End of the Year Awards]]</ref>

On June 15th, Gabe received the Glitter Bomb.

Finally, graduation, the grand finale, came. The Invisible Frogs had talked to Mr. Hester, and he had agreed to give Gabe a small, semi-translucent, plastic frog. During the meet-up on Friday morning, Gabe was called up, and Mr. Hester gave Gabe the first of many frogs.

The Invisible Frogs were quiet again until Saturday, the morning of the graduation ceremony. As Gabe walked across the stage and shook hands with the principal, Mrs. Ahmadzai, she gave him yet another small frog. Finally, during the reception, the members of The Invisible Frogs passed approximately 60 plastic frogs to everyone there, asking them to give them to Gabe. At the end of the reception, they revealed themselves to Gabe.

The members who were unable to be at graduation all made posts in the Courtyard pinging Gabe and having either a frog gif or a frog emoji. It seemed that all was done, but there was more surprise left. Mrs. Armstrong, unprompted by the Invisible Frogs, had put a frog emoji next to Gabe’s name in the 2024 Yearbook. That was the last that was heard of The Invisible Frogs.
