That is, until a few weeks later, when Alicia announces she's not feeling like herself anymore and skipped her period. So when they get hot and heavy one night, Sam and Alicia give each other their v-cards and never look back. Sound familiar?

In fact, when Sam's not with Alicia, he feels like he's suffocating or going to die. He spends every waking moment with his true love, Alicia, and can't be bothered to hang out with his buddies or parents anymore. ![]() And for Sam, our main man in Nick Hornby's 2007 Slam, it's no different. When you're sixteen, few things matter more on a Friday night than what your boyfriend or girlfriend is doing. ![]()
