Anche a scuola tutto va per il verso giusto e in un attimo arriva l'estate: è tempo di progetti da vivere insieme. Quale scelta migliore se non passare le vacanze con Marco? E dove, al mare o in montagna? E mentre Valentina sogna a occhi aperti, una sorpresa l'aspetta dietro l'angolo.

È di nuovo autunno. Anche se ormai sta con Mirko, Vale non riesce a nascondere il proprio malumore: cominciano così a fioccare i brutti voti, lei ha scatti di nervosismo continui e diventa silenziosa e ombrosa, proprio lei che è così piena di vita. Quando i genitori si rendono conto della situazione a scuola, la costringono a passare le vacanze di Natale in Abruzzo, per studiare e recuperare, con loro e la sorellina Giulia, che intanto sta crescendo e si fa sempre più bella.

Valentina è tornata a scuola dopo la delusione del suo amore con Marco e vive le giornate chiusa in sé stessa, come se nulla potesse toccare il suo cuore.

Da subito Valentina si sente attratta da lui, dal desiderio di perdersi nei suoi occhi e rivivere quelle splendide emozioni che sembravano assopite, e Mirko a sua volta cede al fascino di Vale.

È finita la scuola, le vacanze sono ormai vicine e per Valentina, Vale per gli amici, tutto va per il verso giusto: lei e Marco si amano alla follia e passano intere giornate a baciarsi e a coccolarsi in riva al mare. Non solo: a breve arriverà anche una fantastica sorellina di nome Giulia. Cosa può desiderare di più dalla vita? Poi arriva l'invito di Marta a trascorrere un'avventura mozzafiato da sole in campeggio. E così tra l'euforia, le risate, le prime notti sul materassino, gli incontri ravvicinati con i millepiedi, le incursioni notturne in spiaggia.
