(at around 35 mins) Right before Wendy says she needs a minute in private, it shows a back shot of her. She's holding the crumpled paper that has Ashley's cell phone number on it. After Julie leaves, Wendy looks to her left and the paper is out of her hands, on the desk next to her.

A short review of Final Destinaiton 3!

This movie is mainly about a senior named Wendy, which is played by Mary Winstead, who so happens to have a premonition that dealt with death while on the roller coaster. Through her premonition she managed to get some of the people off the roller coaster ride, but not her close friend and boyfriend. Kevin, played by the versatile actor Ryan Merriman, also a senior got off the roller coaster with Wendy and evaded their death. And so, death is such a cry baby and went off to get the people that were suppose to die in the order they sat on the roller coaster. Wendy and Kevin then set off to help and intervene with the lives of their fellow classmates and such so to prevent death from happening. Out of all the people that went off the roller coaster only three of them survived Wendy, Kevin, and Julie. Five months later they all met on a train ride and unfortunately, Wendy had another vision or premonition that they were going to well....you have just got to watch Final Destination 3 instead.<3______;)
