She also meets Eric on her first day. Sam tells her how shocked she is that Eric started showing interest in her because his dad says he can’t focus on girls. He says that he has to focus on football and making sure he keeps his full scholarship to Syracuse University. Eric and Emily start hanging out more and more. They had to deal with many problems like an obsessive ex-girlfriend named Janice and Emily’s pregnant step-mom. At the senior prom, Janice surprises both Eric and Emily by kissing Eric and then turning to Emily and telling her that she did it so Eric could be reminded of their first time.
