Storylines
Sami Crane enrolls in Windenburg High Public School after years in private education. Lucas Roberts is enamoured by her even though he’s only seen her from afar and tries to introduce himself, but Kendall Brent manages to keep him occupied. In a co-ed gym class, Lucas’ constant staring across at the room at Sami angers Kendall, who decides to steal Sami’s clothes causing her to be in just a towel in the hallway. Luckily, Lucas gives her his jacket to wear, and the two get close.

Kendall is ribbing Sami about her unfortunate ‘accident’ when Sami decides she’s had enough and locks Kendall in a tight locker. 4 hours later, Kendall has stressed herself to sleep and is found by Vice Principal Dean. Sami and Kendall are pulled into the office and given an ultimatum - they stop the bickering and start cooperating or face expulsion. The two girls agree, and are also put on pupil duty with Rocco DiFalco and Erica Burke-Castillo.

Due to bad weather, Pupil Duty is turned into a detention and the four gather for the first session. Sami and Kendall realise they’re pretty similar people, and after the session, Sami invites Kendall on the Ccrane jet and the two head to Chicago for the evening.

Lucas’ mother Kate is out of town with her boss and he decides to have a house party. Sami gets really drunk and ends up making out with Lucas while Kendall watches with slight jealousy. When the teens head to the Festival of Light, Lucas hands Sami a rose but she embarrasses him by putting it in the bin.

Sami is excited when she is chosen (along with Kendall and Erica) to intern at a fashion company for a few weeks, although doesn't know that Kendall hacked the school system to choose the three of them.

The internship starts and Kendall suggests the three take a photo for when they’re all successful. Rocco comes to wish Erica well on her first day, but encounters Kendall; the two flirt and kiss in the photography studio and are caught by Sami. Sami warns Kendall to stop her thing with Rocco, but Kendall says she’s enjoying spending time with him. Kendall begs Sami to help her split up Erica and Rocco, and she agrees citing she doesn’t like Erica’s attitude like she’s above everyone else.

At Lucas' New Year's Eve party, Sami gets really drunk and she pines after Lucas as the clock strikes 12, although he is currently sleeping with Kendall upstairs. In the New Year, Kendall and Lucas head on a date unbeknownst to Sami.

The night before Rocco and Erica's wedding at Lucas' house, Sami catches Lucas and Kendall kissing in the hallway and is a mess, and ruined the wedding by announcing that Kendall and Rocco had been sleeping together for months. Sami shows no remorse and takes glee in the fact that Kendall has been outed, admitting she planned on telling Lucas she liked him before she saw them kiss. In Lucas’ bedroom, Lucas finds Sami crying. He wonders why and she confesses that maybe she was too harsh on him and hands him a rose. He throws it in the bin before laughing and picking it back out. They share a kiss… As the group seem to mend their differences, they come together to celebrate in the living room, but Sami along with the rest of the group witness RJ being electrocuted and dying. The group attend RJ’s funeral and decide that the upcoming semester break is just what they need to feel refreshed again. Sami invites Kendall to the Crane’s house in the Hamptons for a week, and the two begin to mend their friendship.

After School
Now in her final few months of school, Sami and Lucas are slowly going steady. She overhears her father talk about his Living Will - a set of rules and instructions that come into play as his family grows. One of the points discussed was that his child that produces his first grandchild will recieve a substancial trust fund for themselves and the child, and full control of a subsidiary of Crane Industries. Sami immediately comes off the pill and sleeps with Lucas, falling pregnant. She gleefully tells her parents after 9 weeks where she learns the true details of the will - the baby must be born a male for the parent to qualify. Sami panics as her cash cow might turn out to be a dud, and it's too late to abort. Sami invites Lucas over and tells him that she is pregnant. Lucas can't believe it and rushes home.

After overhearing that Lucas had great plans for college and his future career, Sami decides to lie that another man is the baby's father, allowing Lucas to have a future even if she doesn't. Lucas is slightly relieved, and the two part ways amicably and he leaves to go to college in California.

Lucas' mother, Kate, visits a heavily pregnant Sami, calling her a hussy and offers to
