Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer
Zack Siler was the big man on his Southern California high school campus. After returning from spring break, he discovers that his girlfriend, Taylor, has cheated on him with a reality TV star, Brock. After Zack and Taylor break up, Zack consoles himself by claiming that Taylor could be replaced by any girl in school. Zack's friend Dean disagrees and bets Zack will turn any random girl at school into prom queen in six weeks. Zack accepts. Dean chooses Laney Boggs, an awkward and unpopular art student.
Zack tries to befriend Laney, but she frankly ignores his advances until he asks her for help with art. She reluctantly invites him to a small theater room where she will perform. Intent on stopping him, Laney volunteers Zack to perform on stage. Zack tries to improvise this routine with his hacky sack. Laney is impressed but still rejects him when he tries to seduce her again.
When Zack shows up at her house, Laney reluctantly agrees to go to the beach with him and his friends, and they invite her to a party afterward. Laney says she's busy but Zack convinces her to go. He asked his sister, Mack, to do her makeup. At the party, Taylor, who was embarrassed by Brock and jealous of Laney, publicly humiliated Laney and reduced her to tears.
Laney was unexpectedly nominated for prom queen along with Taylor. Zack then passes by Laney's house and asks about her mother, who died when Laney was young, and talks about his father, who is pressuring him to go to Dartmouth for college. Zack leans in to kiss Laney but pulls back when she jokes that it was only to win votes for prom king.
