Favorite scenes from Suddenly.

I'm going over some of the parts of Suddenly that I'd gone over in an earlier edit and making note of some of my favorite scenes, including this one:
I had stayed up late last night studying, and I was running out of steam by the time I got to my study period. I went to the library and found an empty table in a corner. I put my books down then laid my head down on my crossed arms. I was out in no time. I slept sound until I felt a hand gently shaking me. “Jamie,” a voice was saying. “Jamie, wake up.” I sighed and shifted positions. The voice chuckled. “Come on, Jamie. It’s almost time for the period to end.” I stretched but didn’t wake up. “Jamie. Come on, wake up.” I finally I raised my head and looked around. I realized that I’d been sound asleep, and then I saw who woke me up. It was P. J. I was mortified. “Oh my God!” I said, “What time is it?” She chuckled again. “You’ve got about five minutes before class is over.” “Oh,” I said sleepily. She leaned down close to my ear. Her musky perfume assailed my nose. She smelled good. “You might want to wipe your face off before you leave,” she said, her breath tickling my ear. What she was saying hit me. I had been drooling in my sleep. I wiped my face and there was a huge glob of slobber there. “Oh shit,” I said. P. J. laughed. “See you at the pep rally,” she said as she walked off. Now, I was really mortified. Not only had P. J. seen me sleeping, but she had seen me with drool all over my face. Oh my God!
*Does the girl in this picture fit your image of Jamie?*
