This form factor is intended to offer a more mobile PC; Tablet PCs may be used where notebooks are impractical or unwieldy, or do not provide the needed functionality.[citation needed] which she writes in every day. In that journal she writes about a character named "Isabella," or "IS" (Danielle Panabaker Danielle Nicole Panabaker is an American actress. She was a cast member in the CBS drama Shark, and appeared in the films Mr. Brooks, Sky High, and Friday the 13th, among other projects. She is best known to younger audiences for her roles in the Disney Channel films Stuck in the Suburbs and Read It and Weep along with her younger sister Kay), a popular girl with incredible powers based the character loosely upon herself. Jamie uses her alter-world to write her feelings about her fellow classmates, friends, and her life.

Her printer dies and she intends to send her essay to Lindsay, but she accidentally sends her journal Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available to the reader without financial or other barrier other than access to the internet itself. Some are subsidized, and some require payment on behalf of the author. Subsidized journals are financed by an academic institution or a government information center. After Lindsay turns the journal in for the English assignment, it wins a writing contest. Jamie's book attracts a lot of publicity and eventually becomes a bestseller. She appears at many book signings, reality TV shows and is often interviewed. Soon, success gets the better of Jamie; she becomes increasingly materialistic and critical of the world around her, quitting her job at her father's pizza place, ridiculing her brother's guitar playing and favoring fame over her friends. Her newfound popularity is dashed when she reveals on a television interview that the antagonist An antagonist is a character, group of characters, or an institution, that represents the opposition against which the protagonist must contend. In other words, 'A person, or a group of people who oppose the main character, or the main characters.' In the classic style of story where in the action consists of a hero fighting a villain, the two can of her novel is based on Sawyer.
As Jamie's classmates learn that the book was based on Jamie's negative feelings toward her school, she wishes to restore her relationships but her friends are unwilling to trust her again. Her friends begin to reject and avoid her, and that is shown when she logs onto a chat room, and one-by-one each person who was originally logged on, logged off as soon as they saw her, except for her friend Connor. When she asks him if he hates her, he responds "I only hate what you've become," then she writes "me too," and she logs off. Jamie then realizes her mistakes, and also discovers some hidden feelings for Connor. Connor writes a positive letter to the editor. When it appears in the school paper the next day, she thinks it was Marco, not Connor. Then Connor became jealous.
To make up for her mistakes, she apologizes to her brother, Lenny, encouraging him to take up his guitar playing once more, despite what she'd said. Jamie overhears her parents conversation about having to close down the pizza parlor because of Jamie's unpopularity, so Jamie feels guilty.
When she gets ready for the prom, Jamie confronts Is, a figment of her imagination who tries to make Jamie like she is and acts like the main antagonist of the movie (next to Sawyer/Myrna), and demands her to stop. She then proceeds to go to the prom, where she tries to apologize to everyone. They do not accept her apology at first, but gradually they do, and Jamie finds Connor just as he is leaving. She asks for his forgiveness, and he forgives her, and they kiss. They walk back into the prom, where Lenny performs a song dedicated to Jamie.
After the prom, which was ocean-themed, Jamie invites everyone to eat at her parents' pizza parlor. When Lenny rushes into the kitchens to help cook the pizza, his jacket, which was covered in seaweed from the prom, accidentally lands on some of the pizzas, covering them in seaweed. They do not know this, but when the pizza is delivered to the customers, they love it, and Jamie's father finally figures out the secret of how to save their business, ending the film on a happy note.
