Romcom with girl bullied by boy in school (but they’re secretly together)

I remember watching part of this movie in the 90s. It was on TV, but I’m quite sure it was a movie and not the episode of a show. I saw the movie dubbed in Italian, but it is not an italian movie (I believe a US movie, but not sure).

At the beginning, we have two protagonists in their teens (blonde boy, brunette girl – possibly Madeline Zima, or someone who looks a lot like her, since this movie doesn’t seem to be in her filmography). Basically the only scene I remember is him bullying her in front of other schoolmates, calling her ugly. Minutes later, she’s hiding behind a tree in the school yard, and he’s walking across the yard towards the tree. She says “He walked like my favourite actor”, or something very similar. He is actually walking towards her, hides behind the tree with her and that’s when you find out they are together.

Please help me find what movie this is!
