" Geek Charmingis the latest Disney Channel Original Movie playing on a tv screen near you. The movie, which stars real life couple Sarah Hyland and Matt Prokop, is all about battling the pressures of popularity and different cliques in high school. Costar Lili Simmons sat down with Seventeen to tell us a bit what it&amp;#039;s like to be Geek Charming. Seventeen: How does it feel to be in your first Disney Channel movie? Lili Simmons: It feels amazing! It was so great to see it. It was exciting and it felt really, really great. I had a few friends over Friday night and we all watched it together and it was really fun. 17: How was working with the cast? LS: Sarah and Matt were great. We hung out all the time on the set with everyone. Vanessa and I were like best friends We were always doing something like either going to the hotel pool or just going shopping. We did a lot of fun things, and we all had so much fun in Vancouver together. 17: Tell us about your Geek Charming character Lola? LS: I played Lola, who is Dylan&amp;#039;s best friend and also Hannah&amp;#039;s best friend. Lola is your normal ditzy high school girl. She&amp;#039;s popular and she loves shoes and shopping. She&amp;#039;s basically always in a fight with Hannah to be Dylan&amp;#039;s best &amp;quot;best friend&amp;quot; because being Dylan&amp;#039;s best friend means you&amp;#039;re even more popular. So Lola and Hannah are always fighting to be the most popular. 17: What were you like in high school? LS: I don&amp;#039;t know if I was popular in high school. My school was actually not really clique-y, which was nice. I went to a very artsy school, so everyone was kind of friends with each other. I was trying to be popular more like in junior high and elementary school, and dealt with all that backstabbing and drama. I was really glad to get out of all of that when I started high school. 17: Why do you think our readers will like Geek Charming? LS: I think teen girls will like Geek Charming because they really focus on the &amp;quot;populars&amp;quot; and nerdy people and people who are in between the nerds and between the populars. So it really hits every category of what girls are going through in high school. If they&amp;#039;re a geek or if they&amp;#039;re &amp;quot;in-between&amp;quot; or if they&amp;#039;re popular, they can really relate to any of those groups. 17: What are your favorite high school movies? LS: I remember liking A Cinderella Storywith Hilary Duff a lot when I was younger. I loved that movie, but maybe it was because of Chad Michael Murray. It was a really sweet movie and I always liked Hilary Duff. 17: Do you have any upcoming projects? LS: Right now, I&amp;#039;m just modeling and auditioning like crazy. I have a guest role coming out on Jane By Design on ABC Family, coming out this January. There&amp;#039;s an indie movie I did called Fat Kid Rules the World which was based on a teen book and it&amp;#039;s a fabulous story and hopefully it&amp;#039;ll go to theaters because it is an amazing story. Geek Charming re-airs on Thursday, November 17 at 8:30 p.m. EST.  Also on Tuesday, November 15, Geek Charming will be available on iTunes and Xbox Live.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
