I find it hard to believe she'd like Daniel
Scrawny Italian kid, and bad dresser. I cringe how he wears jeans and a muscle shirt when he's got no muscles.
He's built like a greyhound!
"Maybe she's into fungus."

He's from Reseda and she's from the Hills. She was slumming..
What the hell are you talking about?
They look good together. He looks good alone, he is not a preppy gay looking asshole, and she also dresses like shit.
No need to mention their personality, they clearly clicked there.
All those things you mentioned sound superficial as fuck.
shareYes, which is highschool.
shareBut your disbelief is your issue. Not every kid when I was in high school cared only about that. In fact, I remember some girls being interested in the new kid in town simply because he was the new kid in town.
That apparently is a fairly common behavior pattern in primates where females will find interest in an outsider.
shareShe wasn't. She was just trying to make Johnny jealous. This whole movie is his redemption arc.

shareDaniel was genuine, had personality, kind, thoughtful.
Not at all what girls/women go for in real life.
I see your point.
