Likewise, the entire male senior class has also taken notice of Mandy, and shes soon being chased by both Andy Wasilewski (Escher Holloway), an apathetic yet charismatic stoner, and Tommy Bush (Drew Gallagher), a star football player. Shocking to many, Mandy falls head over heels for Andy.Although his heart is in the right place, hes rough around the edges and in dire need of parental guidance, spending most school nights in his fathers mansion smoking pot and getting drunk by himself. As Andy and Mandy proclaim their love for each other, Andy gets cold feet; hes never had a long-term girlfriend before. Suffering major commitment issues, he self-destructs and impulsively has sex with freshmen hottie Erika Jacobs (Alexandra Mason), who happens to be Jini Jacobs little sister, in the English Building restroom. Mandy immediately dumps Andy, and he falls into a life-altering depression.Tommy once again pursues Mandy and asks her to the prom. Still furious at Andy, she tells Tommy that shell think about it. To further persuade her, Tommy throws a pre-prom party on Mandys behalf. Thoroughly defeated, Andy decides not to go to Tommys party. But just when he thinks his chances of getting back with Mandy are completely over, his two best friends Ferrat Barrett (Luke Eberl) and Ned Fouler (Will Rothhaar) show up at his house and urge him to come back with them to the party. Mandys still in love with you, they shout at him.Meanwhile, Bill Beauchanon (Daniel Booko), Tommys best friend and Jinis on again/off again boyfriend, drunkenly decides its his turn to pursue Mandy. As Bill forcefully and inappropriately hits on Mandy, she rejects his advances and decides its time to go home. Bill becomes enraged and pushes her to the ground. Luckily, Andy shows up and challenges Bill to a fight. Andy and Bill beat the pulp out of each other, which Andy finally ends by knocking Bill out with a brutal right hook. Andy then looks around, but Mandy is nowhere to be found. Ferrat and Fouler point west, and Andy runs after her.
