far as Liz is concerned, Trent is a dream and Darcell is a devil reincarnate.Â

During the Back-to-School dance,

Evilness. Oh yes, their feud is on and popping! Driven by spite and
embarrassment, Liz instigates a series of misunderstandings that propel her
into an inevitable confrontation with Darcell. But when a Bennett family crisis
reveals Darcell’s and Trent’s true colors, will Liz’s pride prevent her from
accepting each for who he really is? Â
