High school senior Julie Clarke experiences multiple dream sequences that recall memories with her boyfriend, Sam. In the first dream flashback, Julie noticed Sam in her English class. Sam visited her often at the bookstore where she works. One day, he smiled at her between the bookcases, but Julie froze and ran to the employee room. Composing herself, she returned to talk to Sam, but he was gone. He left an elaborate origami cherry blossom flower for her.

In the next memory scene, Julie came to Sam’s work, a local coffee shop. He brought her favorite latte, asking if he could sit with her. They spent hours talking, getting to know things about each other, such as Sam’s music obsession and his younger brother. When Sam’s friends arrived, he invited her to go to a movie with them. His friend, Taylor, remarked that the psychological thriller probably wasn’t Julie’s thing. Julie declined the offer, but she left an origami lily for Sam at the barista counter.

Next, at the school dance, Julie spotted Sam slow dancing with Taylor and hurried outside. Sam chased after her, telling her that Taylor is just a friend and admitting he wanted to ask her to the dance, but she never called him.
