At least until she learns that her name is written in the high school football team's secret Bang Book and it is Stanford's job to deflower her. The tables are turned and the battle begins when she and her two best friends Katelyn Chase and Trish Van Doren (Rumer Willis and Kristin Cavallari) form a pact to maintain their virginity, embarrass the team and foil the plot against them.[1] Helen gets Stanford by ramming him off of a go-cart track and then She along with Katelyn and Trish trick him and his two best friends (Who are also Katelyn and Trish's boyfriends) into accidentally making out with each other. Then eventually at a party they slip a sex pill into the punch and gives Stanford and his friends a Raging Boner. Helen then confronts Katelyn and Trish about the sex pills and blames them for everything and then visits Stanford at the hospital tries to apologize and make it up to him, but he turns her down and tells her to go away. Heartbroken about her breakup with Stanford, Helen at first decides not to go his football game, but after a talk with her father Nathan (Rob Schneider) about how people make mistakes in life, she changes her mind. At the football game Helen apologizes to Katelyn and Trish and they forgive her, however, Stanford's team is losing the game. During Halftime Helen takes the microphone and apologizes for everything and helps Stanford and his team into realizing why they are losing and Stanford forgives her.
