Sam's strange behavior only escalated after that one night a couple months back. Just like Danny and Valerie had drifted apart, Sam and Jeremy seemed to be doing the same. They still hung out together at school, just like Danny and Valerie, but Sam suddenly seemed to have more time for Danny and Tucker too. Danny knew something was up; Tucker figured they both just knew their significant other was more comfortable with them hanging out with friends. Sam was always nervous around Jeremy now. She was afraid of what he would do, what he would say. When he kissed her, she stiffened. When he put an arm around her, she flinched.

Valerie had taken to skipping out on lunch entirely, causing Danny to go looking for her… occasionally. He usually couldn't find her; unfortunately, he found her this time. She was in an empty classroom with a classmate, and the two of them were rather "busy" on the teacher's desk. Danny returned to the cafeteria, stabbing moodily at his food. He had expected to feel more betrayed; all he felt was empty.
"So, where was Valerie?" Tucker asked. This was one of the days that Sam had lunch with Jeremy.
"Studying," Danny lied. Yeah, sure, studying the anatomy of the male human body…
He thought back to the first time he'd slept with Valerie. He had told her he'd never done this before. She had smiled and said no one was an expert the first time. Come to think of it, she never did say she was a virgin. He scowled. Oh, great, I'm dating a two-timing whore. He knew he had to break up with her, but he didn't know if he really wanted to. If he dumped Valerie, he'd really feel how Sam felt. Sure, she seemed edgy around Jeremy right now, but what if that changed and he was left on his own? I'll just ignore it. I'll take care of it later.
When Valerie walked into the cafeteria later and tried to cuddle up to him, Danny wanted to slap her. Instead, he reacted as he usually did: putting his arm around her instinctively. I can't believe you can even come back to try and smooch up to me after being with that dude. He forced a smile when she looked at him. You make me sick.
