It is a bittersweet experience for Cathy, knowing that she will have to leave behind a couple of new friends, to disappear from their lives without leaving a trace - among them her roommate and best friend, the brilliant, enigmatic Natty Fogg, and the girl Cathy felt attracted to from the start, the playful, mischievous Mallory Carmichael.
