The recently single popular girl is followed around a party by several guys trying to hook up with her, but particularly one guy trying to confess that he loves her despite never speaking to her. Not intentionally creepy.

The scene at 1 hour and 9 minutes (time from the other comment under this category), as a pansexual NB person who had been called the word in high school, was quite triggering for me personally, because not only is it yelled from a crowd, but other characters laugh at the person who is called the word in question.

I enjoyed most of the movie (minus the homophobic slurs and some things that haven't aged well, such as stuff listed elsewhere on this page), but I was so caught off-guard by that particular instance. This was the film that caused me to pin "Are there homophobic slurs?" to my personal trigger list on this website.
