Question: how can I fix this cheaply and in a pretty way (I rent...)?

You need some filler:
And some paint to match you walls, and a paint brush.
Fill with knife, smooth with knife, wait 24 hours, sand with sand paper, then paint.

I was expecting a whole wall to be damaged!!!
As Grunff has stated you need a bit of ready mixed filler, I'd use an old credit card to smooth off the filler, then a small dulux match pot (I think they are £2-50 from B&Q) to match the paint, the whole job should cost you less than a fiver!

Before you do, get a couple of round nails that will fit the wall plugs and grease them up and place into the wall plugs. This way, you can use them again and you can open up the holes where the nails have been, so that the next screw does not crack the new plaster.
