Other mistake: In the beginning of the movie, when she is speaking to the viewers on her web cam, Olive says something about whatever book you're reading in class always relates to whatever teen drama you have going on, except Huckleberry Finn. As most of the movie is in flashback, this scene takes place chronologically near the end of the story. However, in one scene shown later (ie. before the webcam comment), a girl runs up to Olive and say something along the lines of, "Did you hear about Brandon? He left his parents a note that says, 'I'm gay, bitches!' and ran away with some hulking black guy!" and Olive says, "My apologies to Mark Twain." In the film continuity Olive's comment makes no sense, as she hasn't referenced Huckleberry Finn yet. And/or her webcam comment is out of place, as at the time she makes that comparison she now knows that even Huckleberry Finn is relevant to teen drama.

Continuity mistake: After Olive has been to the principal's office, when she and Rhiannon are walking to their car, in the front-on shot they are leaning on each other. But in the immediately following shot from behind, they are standing about a foot apart.
Marianne: There's a higher power that will judge you for your indecency.
Olive Penderghast: Tom Cruise?
Trivia: At the beginning of the movie, Olive wonders why her life can't be more like an '80s movie, including Sixteen Candles. In the car with Todd, when they're - SPOILER ALERT! - talking about kissing each other, the song playing in the car is a rendition of "If You Were Here," the song playing near a similarly romantic scene in Sixteen Candles.

Answer: It wasn't just that Rhiannon believed that Olive had slept with someone. She was angry and upset over the new trampy behavior that Olive was taking on to become more "popular."
