'Premature departure to Christchurch, pre-empted by major ructions at Place of Learning. No intention of return (to Place of Learning, that is). Financially endowed and psychologically positive. Will contact upon arrival, request no expression of concern or mindless brow-beating.
Mel'

Mel is short, stroppy and never knows when to keep her mouth shut. When Mel storms out of school she sees it as an escape from a past and present too messy to deal with. But standing up for yourself is one thing; facing the consequences is quite another.
