It is a tradition of Thomas Jefferson High that on Cupid's Day there are valograms to be bought and sent out. They are roses with little messages attached. It is also a "tradition" for Sam, Lindsay, Elody, and Ally to send a valogram out each year to Juliet. The note attached reads, "Maybe next year, but probably not."
The roses basically signify popularity. The more roses you get the more popular you are. This is one reason why they send the valogram to Juliet; they want her to feel defeated, like she doesn't belong.

Sam later hears about a party Kent McFuller is hosting at his house that night. Being the popular girl she is, of course she had to be at "the place to be" when everyone else was. She and her friends get to the party, and it is packed. They get upstairs and she runs into her boyfriend. Finally she meets back up with her friends in a back room of the house. The whole room suddenly grows quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone is staring at the door where Juliet stands. She walks firmly to where the four girls stand, turns to Lindsay, and says, "You're a bitch." She turns to each one directly, calling them each a bitch. Lindsay, Elody, Ally, and Sam are all drunk, and they start pushing Juliet back and forth through the crowd, spilling drinks on her, and chanting "Psycho". Like any person would, Juliet runs out of the room.

Lindsay, as the "designated driver", pulls out of her spot at Kent's house and starts driving down the road. It's raining and dark. It is just one of their normal drives after one of the normal parties they have gone to. And then they get in a car crash. Sam says that Lindsay yelled something along the lines of, "sit or shit or sight", and then she has a dream where she is falling, and she can't stop.
