It had taken Christophe all of three days to discover that Lia - and her two brothers - had moved away. Even then it was only thanks to overhearing a conversation at the next table in the restaurant at lunch time. He scowled darkly down at the table. She hadn’t even bothered to let him know she was leaving. Not even a damned text. Sure, Lia had broken up with him last week but even so, he thought he’d meant something to her. Apparently he’d been mistaken. And to think he’d been hoping to get back together with her before the Prom? How dumb was that!
If nothing else he at least now knew how she’d felt about him all along and perhaps her departure removed on of the two problems he was currently facing. The other one was how to avoid Tyler and Sarissa for the rest of the semester!
Impossible, he knew that!
Still, he was nothing if not determined!

Later that afternoon Christophe could be found upstairs in his room. He turned the small pouch over in his hand, remembering back to last week when Lia had given him the charm. It’d meant so much to him then... but now...? He pushed it into a back corner of the draw beneath his desk. Too painful to see on a daily basis and yet still important to discard it. Out of sight - out of mind... Right?
