When Lisa finds out that Mandy is with Drew, she becomes outraged and uses Mandy's phone to film them. Later that day, Mandy flirts with Drew at the lake near school against her father's wishes. Her father reveals his intentions to join her when she moves to attend UCSB next year, but Mandy is too afraid to say anything about it. Mandy turns 18 and her father surprises her by replacing her old glasses and phone with an expensive video phone and contact lenses. Instead, Drew does not care that Mandy works there and invites her to go out with him the next day. Lisa thinks Mandy is a threat and tries to humiliate her by taking Drew to the pet shop where Mandy works. When she awakens, she finds out Drew gave her CPR and they talk to each other. Mandy decides to try out for the swim team, but loses her glasses at the pool and falls in the water unconscious. Mandy is about to turn 18 and wants her life to change.

Lisa happens to be the girlfriend of Mandy's dreamboy crush, swim team captain Drew Patterson ( Robbie Amell).

She is bullied and mocked by the popular girls at her high school, particularly Lisa Cross ( Cindy Busby).

The unpopular Mandy Gilbert ( Ashley Tisdale) lives with her strict father Tom ( Kevin Pollak), and has only two friends, Alexa ( Lauren Collins) and Cayenne ( Shenae Grimes).
