Once more, Sam wakes on Feb. 12. She gets into Lindsay’s car, angry with her. She feels like Lindsay is committing all the wrongs and she, Sam, has to pay the price. She’s also angry because her day started with a fight with her parents over her clothes. As Lindsay drives them to school, Sam is cold to both Elody and Lindsay, and she decides she doesn’t feel connected to Rob anymore at all. Then she yells at Lindsay, first about her bad driving, then about not caring about anyone. Lindsay stops the car and kicks Sam out after their argument escalates further. At school, Sam just roams around for the first four periods, aimless, almost hoping to get caught by a teacher or Ms. Winters. She has no roses because she hasn’t been to class, and she doesn’t care. 

When she goes beyond flirting with Mr. Daimler, her math teacher, he becomes angry with her, but it just makes Sam feel powerful. He demands to see her after class, then asks what she was thinking. She tries to seduce him, and he starts kissing and groping her.
