[NARRATOR]
The next day, Justin brought a rolled-up baggie of marijuana to school for Naomi

[JUSTIN]
And I was like, oh my god, I'm actually gonna do this. So we was in class, and I sat down right next to her. And she was like—

[NAOMI]
Justin, do you have it?

[JUSTIN]
Yeah, I do. And I was like, you know what? We're going to wait for a few. Because I didn't want to be like, oh hey, and just slide it in her hand or whatever. So we waited

Wood blocks tick-tocking

[JUSTIN]
And she was like—

[NAOMI]
Okay, put it in my purse

[JUSTIN]
So I slid it right in there. And then she was like—

[NAOMI]
Okay, here. Take the money. Justin, take the money

[JUSTIN]
I don't want your money. I got this just for you. Keep your money. There's nothing I won't do for you. I'll come through for you every time—just in time

[NAOMI]
Justin, listen
Please, just take the money

You're making me feel guilty. Take the money

You really did come through for me

There's only one last thing you need to do for me
Take the money
Take the money
Take the money

The teacher's coming
Take this money, Justin

We aren't done. Please take this money, Justin

Take the money

Take the money. Take this money, Justin.

[JUSTIN]
Naomi, I know there's a reason you were transferred here to me
Naomi, I know there's a reason. This isn't luck, it's destiny
Naomi
You know me
I will be there just in time
Every time
Anytime

I don't want your money

I got this just for you

Keep your money

There's nothing I won't do for you. I'll come through for you

Every time
Anytime
Just in time.
