Mischa Barton: A High School Loner

Mischa Barton was in high spirits as she was spotted leaving the celebrity-popular Joan's on Third restaurant in Los Angeles on Monday, following it up with a shopping trip to Scout in West Hollywood.

The former star of the OC is back home after a recent trip to the Sundance film festival to promote her new movie, Assassination of a High School President, in which she plays the "popular girl" in high school.

Speaking of her own high school experience, Mischa recently told press: "I was not popular in high school, I can definitely say that."

Continuing on, the 22-year-old actress says: "I only had, like, three boys who were my friends and one girl. I was a bit of a loner, I guess."

You can catch Mischa in Assassination of a High School President coming to theaters this August.
