When the rich new Boulevardez family moves in across from the Prouds, they all hit it off right away except for the daughters Penny and LaCienega, who are competing at school for a spot on cheerleading squad, captained by their friend Dijonay Jones.

A rumor involving Penny and Myron (the school nerd) is spread. Penny's reputation is ruined, and even her friends believe the rumor. Her enemy, and sometimes kind of a friend LaCienega started the rumor, and another rumor spreads about LaCienega trying to steal Myron away from Penny.
