He gets his girlfriend pregnant, echoing his mother's worst nightmare for him (she had him while still a teenager as well). And this generally normal, average kid does that in spectacular, life-changing fashion.
As Sam himself says in the novel, when everything's ticking along this well, it's time to go and screw it up. His mom has dumped the boyfriend Sam didn't like he's learned new, more difficult skating tricks (that's skateboarding, not ice skating-he's a huge Tony Hawk afficiando, even talking to his Hawk poster and having it talk back to him and show him his future) his teachers think he might have college potential and he's started dating Alicia, a girl he'd thought was way out of his league. Sam is nearly 16 and everything in life is going really well for him.
