Day 3: The First Change

     Sam has awakened for the third time on February 12th. Her mom tells her to get ready for school or she'll be late (as usual), but she tells her that she isn't feeling well and goes back to bed. When she wakes up again and decides to go to school later, she makes an effort to be nicer. She is suddenly a little bit nicer to her family, and when her mom drops her off at school she tells her she loves her. 

     When Lindsay asks if she's going to Kent's party for the third day in a row, Sam says that she isn't up to party that night. She claims that they do something every weekend, and she just wants to stay home. So, they spend the night at Ally's house. Lindsay, Elody, and Ally are all trying to convince Sam that she should stop laying around and actually have fun, but she can't when she is still thinking about dying at 12:39. As she lays around and the clock ticks to 12:40, though, she feels as though it is over and she is alive. Little does she know...

     Around 2 A.M. Ally's mom gets a call from Juliet's mom saying that she killed herself. As they all slowly drift asleep, so does the day, and Sam dreams that she is falling, falling, falling one more time.
