Valentine Carmina is a girl, perceived as Coalwood boys as being "stacked like a brick privy," who is a year older than Sonny and his friends. A popular Sub-Deb, a club of somewhat fast girls in distinctive leather jackets, she has always liked Sonny and sometimes sits next to him, and talks about life, or lets him walk her to class. Valentine always treats Sonny well. After Dorothy Plunk breaks Sonny's heart by dating and dancing with Jim at the Dugout, Valentine asks Sonny to dance. He does so and forgets Dorothy. Then Valentine takes Sonny outside to her boyfriend's Buck's old dodge. She is the first girl he is intimate with.
