What the Heck I Gotta Do

[NARRATOR]

The plan was called Operation D-Minus. And one of the schools included in the plan was Park Vista Community High School, where a kid named Justin Laboy—

[JUSTIN]

That's me

[NARRATOR]

—an 18-year-old honor roll student—

[JUSTIN]

I get straight A's, man

[NARRATOR]

—was in the last semester of his senior year. Justin could hardly believe his luck when a very pretty girl showed up

[JUSTIN]

Naomi!

[NARRATOR]

In not one but two of his classes

[STUDENTS]

Naomi!

[NARRATOR]

She sat in front of him. He switched seats

[STUDENTS]

Naomi!

[NARRATOR]

The last name she used was—

[STUDENTS]

Rodriguez

[NARRATOR]

Justin, what drew you to Naomi initially?

[JUSTIN]

Man, she used to fall asleep in class. She was a light-skinneded Puerto Rican-Dominican—long hair, mature in the body like whoa

[STUDENTS]

Like, whoa

[JUSTIN]

That's not the only reason I liked her, though. She said she moved with her mother to Florida from New York

[STUDENTS]

Where dreams are made

[JUSTIN]

Well, so did I. So I said, hi. She seemed mature, and I talked more

[STUDENTS]

More, more, more!

[JUSTIN]

And I was like, what the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]

What the heck I gotta do?

[JUSTIN]

What the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]

What the heck I gotta do?

[JUSTIN]

Who do I have to be for you to be with me?

[NARRATOR]

You told her all this in class?

[JUSTIN]

Yeah. Well, I texted her! Y'know, I was like, what the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]

L-O-L-O-L-O-L!

[JUSTIN]

What the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]

R-O-F-L-O-L!

[JUSTIN]

Who do I have to be for you to be with me?

[NAOMI]

Smiley face

[JUSTIN]

Yes! Next thing you know, we're texting day and night. I trust her right away

[STUDENTS]

Like, whoa!

[JUSTIN]

Hey, yo. I never met anyone like her, bro. Yo, she listens to all my problems. I let her copy all my homework. And then I lay it all on the line. And she was like—

[STUDENTS]

No, no—

[JUSTIN]

No! She didn't say no exactly. I don't know

[STUDENTS]

No, no, no, no!

[JUSTIN]

Yeah, I was surprised. I'm a pretty great guy

[STUDENTS]

So? So?

[JUSTIN]

So, I decided I needed to step my game up

[STUDENTS]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[JUSTIN]

It's too late to be shy. And so I got in front of the whole class one day, and serenaded her. I was like, what the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]

What the heck I gotta do?

[JUSTIN]

What the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]

What the heck I gotta do?

[JUSTIN]

Who do I have to be for you to go to prom with me!

[NARRATOR]

You asked her to the prom?

[JUSTIN]

Yeah! I danced and everything

[STUDENTS]

Naomi!

[JUSTIN]

Naomi! I know there's a reason you were transferred here to me

[STUDENTS]

Naomi!

[STUDENTS]

Naomi! I know there's a reason this isn't luck, it's destiny

[STUDENTS]

Naomi!

[JUSTIN]

Naomi! You know me! Will you go to prom with me?

[NAOMI]

I'll think about it

[STUDENTS]

She'll think about it. She'll think about it. She'll think about it. She'll think about

[JUSTIN]

She said she'd think about it

[STUDENTS]

She'll think about it

[JUSTIN]

She'll think about it

[STUDENTS]

Think about it

[JUSTIN]

She'll think about it

[STUDENTS]

She'll think about it. She'll think about it

[JUSTIN]

Yes!
