But the throuple is heavily implied. It may not be romantic as everyone wanted, but the three of them form strong solid bonds that goes beyond friendship. I've read this novel a long time ago and it's currently still ongoing.
You may find Christelle annoying, but she's the reason why the three of them get the opportunity to get together most of the time, Jesse is the balance between them and what draws them all together, and Cedric is the strong support that will have their backs. It's kind of funny since Christelle and Cedric wants Jesse's attention and Jesse would love to avoid them. Jesse does eventually return back their affection. Both of them are overprotective of Jesse.
