"What The Heck I Gotta Do"
(with Anthony Ramos, Lindsay Mendez, Alex Boniello, Gerard Canonico, Antwaun Holley)
[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!
