I couldn't believe that Dylan would turn on me like this. OK, Josh was way more into me than I was into him, but Dylan knew why I was going out with Josh. And he knew how bad I felt about it. So why was he trying to make me feel even worse?

I didn't say any of this to Dylan. He was staring out of the window; the weak morning light hitting his face so he was all planes and angles. He seemed really cold and unapproachable. Dead scary, in fact.

I pushed my plate away - I'd sassily lost my appetite - and scraped my chair back noisily as I stood up. Dylan looked at me questioningly.

'I don't have to listen to this, Dylan,' I bit out. 'And I don't know why you're getting so upset on Josh's behalf, he's never bothered you before.'

Dylan reached across the table and gripped my wrist tightly. Not enough to hurt me, but enough that I couldn't pull away.

'You know why he's bothering me,' he said and then lowered his voice when he realised that people were turning round to look at us. 'Just sort it out.'

I managed to free my wrist and tried to stalk out of the dining room with some semblance of dignity. I decided to go for a walk. I needed fresh air and I needed some time to try and work out what the hell Dylan was on.

But I'd only been walking for about five seconds when I realised that the Hotel Du Lac was situated in Pigalle. And that Pigalle is the red-light district of Paris. I was so busy goggling at posters featuring busty women in their smalls and neon signs that promised, 'Girls, Girls, Girls!' that, to be honest, I completely forgot about Dylan. Mum and Dad were gonna freak when I told them about this!

We were meant to be meeting in the foyer at ten to go to the Louvre, but hardly anybody had turned up. I finally managed to hook up with Nat and Trent who made room for me on one of the sofas.

'What's going on?'

Trent nudged me playfully. 'Exactly what we were going to ask you.'

'Yeah, what was that scene with you and Dylan at breakfast?' added Nat.

'Huh! He's gone down with a severe case of boy disease,' I snorted. 'I think it could be fatal this time. Anyway, where is everyone?'

Nat squeezed his eyes tight and stretched like he does when he?s got juicy gossip. 'Weeellllll, Shona and Paul have disappeared off the face of the earth, Mia's gone back to bed in a strop, Dylan and Simon have decided to make their own way to the Louvre even though the only thing they can actually say in French is something very, very rude and half the boys in the Foundation class have come to a sudden realisation that we're in the middle of the red-light area and gone to strip show.'

'I know about that,' I said witheringly, so neither of them thought that I was completely clueless when it came to information gathering.
