Betty Behind the Braces

Betty is a brilliant but insecure college student mocked for her metal braces. After clashing with Marcus, the school's arrogant basketball star, she becomes the target of his teasing and scrutiny. Her intelligence and defiance gradually overturn his contempt, and their tension becomes devotion as he protects her publicly and helps her challenge her insecurity. When Betty finally removes her braces and amazes the campus, Marcus makes a grand confession: he never loved perfect teeth, but the person who had always shone behind them.
