SPENCER: Okay, okay, let me explain.

LAYLA: Explain? [SCOFFS]

You told Olivia,

my best friend, that you love her.

Love her, before hooking up with me!

I don't even know who you are right now.

I'm sorry. Look, I didn't
plan it that way.

Layla, I know I messed up,

and I should have said
something to you, but,

look, I made a promise to wait

until you was ready to
get back together, and...

and I didn't want to break that.

I knew how much it meant to you.

Right.

How much it meant to me.

Wait, wait, wait.
That's not what I meant.

You know, it doesn't matter.
We're done. [SIGHS]

For good this time. I never
want to see you again.

[DOOR SLAM ECHOES]

You good?

SPENCER: I messed up.

DILLON: Like, "Put cranberries
in potato salad" messed up,

or "Cussed out a black mama" messed up?

"I was real careless with
somebody feelings" messed up.

You want to get out of
here for a little while?

What about school?

I'll get you there on time.

Get dressed.

DILLON: Yo, it is about time

you took me on one of your workouts.

Damn, it's a dope-ass
day for some football.

- Birds is chirpin'...
- DILLON: Here we go again.

The grass is freshly cut, and look...

power-walkin' Deacons from our church

- DILLON: Ha ha ha!

- SPENCER: What's good, sir?
- DEACON: Good to see you, son.

MAN: Hey, you getting some
early morning reps in, bro?

God knows you need it.

Ain't like y'all going to
the playoffs this year.

- DILLON: Hey, you know this dude?
- SPENCER: Nah.

MAN: Nah, I know you, though.

You Black Jesus in cleats.

Oh, wait, no, no, no, no.

Should I call you the resource?

Ain't that what you called yourself

when you promised to lead
South Crenshaw to a State title?

- [DROPS BACKPACK]
- Yo, what's wrong with you?

Ignore him, D. Come on.

Hey, homie, I'm just speaking facts.

The team, you're all trash this year,

and the resource, average at best.

If I was playing,

you wouldn't catch a ball on me.

I'd lock your ass up.

You need to fall back, homie.

You don't want this smoke.

Ah, I want all the smoke.

Yeah, we can play one-on-one right now.

My man Eric could be QB.

All right, bet. Let's go.

A'ight.

We'll run 5 plays.

If I stop you from catching
at least 3 passes...

You won't.

the lead nominee for Mr. South Crenshaw.

You know what? I still remember

my nomination speech back in the day.

If you need any inspiration,

I knocked that bad boy
out on a typewriter...

250 words, double-spaced. It was poetry.

Is that gonna be enough, Coach?

BILLY: 250 words? Yeah.

SPENCER: No, enough
players on our roster.

BILLY: Oh, yeah,

about a third of our
players are ineligible

because of Carter's elevated
GPA requirement,

but we'll be fine.

Just say it...

if we don't add more players,
we ain't making playoffs.

I mean, yeah, we, uh... We
could use some depth, yeah.

Okay, look, this morning I went
one-on-one against a dude

that could help us out
on defense right now.

- BILLY: Okay.
- SPENCER: I can't even front.

The dude's a beast. I looked him up.

His name's Jabari Long.

Jabari Long.

"Jabari Long, Junior".

- His GPA for last semester is incomplete,

so that means he is ineligible.

You got to talk to Carter.

Well, the only time he could meet

Math? Would have skipped it if I had to.

I can't be missing out
on meetings like that.

Don't we leave for tour in a few months?

Yes, but...

But what if he finds another artist

who doesn't have to worry
about taking school tests

and running laps in P.E.?

Coop, relax. He's interested.
He thinks you're dope.

He just has to understand
that school comes first.

Look, if Meg Thee Stallion
can make it work, so can you.

You need to relax.

It's, like, your tenth time
you looked over at the door.

Spencer is in practice. You are good.

Whatever. I'm not worried about it.

Look, we don't have to act
like nothing happened.

Okay, we both broke up with
him, so if you want to talk...

Him who?

Hey, y'all, what you think?

Damn, that was quick as hell.

- What, you printed these up in sixth period?
- KIA: I got connects.

You need to get started on yours.

Oh, you encouraging

Oh, I'mma still go hard.

I ain't about to hand you the crown.

How dope would it be if you

I should go. Um, Kia's right.

You got to get working on your campaign,

and I've got meetings and stuff,

so I will catch you guys later.

Okay.

Okay, I'm guessing I missed something.

That you did. Have a seat, sis.

I got a lot to fill you in on.

CARTER: I told you, Billy,

the GPA requirement is non-negotiable.

But come on, man. I gave up my salary,

we're working with minimal resources...

Whole school's working on minimal
resources. What's your point?

Look, look, just do it for the kids.

For a lot of them,
it's their senior year,

and football could be
their last chance to...

That, right there...

that's why I raised the GPA, okay?

They shouldn't have to rely on sports

to make something of themselves.

Do you know any of
these kids personally?

Have you ever had any
conversation with any of 'em?

Last time I checked, I'm the principal,

- not you.
- BILLY: Well, interim principal.

Okay, well, I know what I'm doing.

And what is that, exactly?

Making the entire football team suffer

because you've got a personal
vendetta against me?

This conversation's over.

- BILLY: You just proved my point.
- CARTER: No, you... you know what?

I don't have to prove anything to you.

You're not the big man
on campus anymore.

I'm doing what's best for
South Crenshaw, okay,

and I'm not gonna let you or
anyone else get in the way of that.

You okay, Spencer?

Yeah, I'm good.

This about the breakup?

[CHUCKLING] Which one, right?

Ignore your brother.

I should never have claimed
to be the resource

at that school board meeting.

Now my promise to save
South Crenshaw through football

ain't working out that good.

But you guys have been winning games.

Barely. What?

Okay, they're missing a
bunch of their top players.

He's right. Ain't eligible
'cause of their GPAs.

Without 'em, we ain't
making the playoffs,

so that's a wrap on my plan
and the school as we know it.

It's not your fault, son,

and besides, you're only
halfway through the season.

There's still time for the team
to turn things around.

DILLON: And who knows? Maybe
they'll study real hard,

get their GPAs up.

Anything's possible.

Hey, Mom, you might
want to check on Liv,

make sure she didn't drown.
She's been in that shower forever.

Leave your sister alone.

She's having a hard enough time
as it is, post-the breakup.

JORDAN: Oh, yeah.

Wow. Aaliyah.

- Nice shirt.
- JORDAN: Heh heh!

Bit of a bold choice for you.

It gets bolder. I got one for Liv, too.

I know Aaliyah's her favorite.

Is this, like, a twin thing?

Exactly. It's twin Tuesday.

I figured we could dress
alike together at school,

you know, since it's Spirit Week.

- I figured it might cheer her up.
- LAURA: Or traumatize her.

I'm just kidding, honey.
That's... it's very, very sweet.

I don't know. I just know she hasn't
really been feeling school lately.

You know, running into
Asher and seeing Layla

and just hearing all the
rumors, it can't be fun.

Mmm. Maybe she should
take a mental health day.

Wait, s-seriously? You
mean, like, ditch school?

Well, I mean, sacrificing
a day of classes to focus

on your mental health is more important,

so yeah, seriously.

Yeah, yeah, heh! Yeah, yeah.

Uh, you know what else is I
should be there to support her.

[SCOFFS] Nice try, buddy.

Liv needs this. You don't.
You're going to school.

- JORDAN: Okay, hold on. What about my needs?
- LAURA: Jordan.

Look, I hear you. Liv needs
a mental health day, all right?

- But, look, I need...
- [TAPS COUNTER]

[WHISPERING] ... a "Taking
care of my sister day", too.

Please?

Fine, but you make it back

- to school in time for practice.
- JORDAN: [SNAPS FINGERS] Deal!

Deal, deal, deal, deal, deal. Thank you.

- LAURA: Bye.
- JORDAN: Liv!

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

VANESSA: Hey, you.

Hey.

So, for what it's worth,
I managed to find

a piece of our summer at
the bakery this morning.

Pan dulce?

- VANESSA: Yeah. Heh!
- ASHER: Ha ha!

Wow, this is... this is awesome.

Where's the rest of it?

I mean, I did say a piece
of our summer, right?

Heh heh! Tastes just
like the ones we used

to have at the panaderia in Mexico.

Every morning after our jog,

which kind of defeated the purpose.

It was never really about the jog.

Look, I'm... I'm sorry

for being so distant the past two weeks.

Between football and
my breakup with Liv,

I just needed a minute to clear my head.

All good. You holding up okay?

I am now. Heh!

Remind me to get you
a bib next time, okay?

[GIGGLES]

So, listen, I heard about
this really cool drive-in

that is showing old-school
movies from, like, mid-2000s.

"The Hot Chick" is playing there.

Maybe we can go this Saturday?

- Uh...
- [CLOSES PAPER BAG]

I... I can't this Saturday.

- VANESSA: Okay. What about...
- ASHER: You know, actually,

my whole weekend is kinda hectic.

Um, I'm sorry. I need to get
to class. I'll talk to you later.

- [SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

[TEXTING]

_

Ahem. Is that my text
you're about to respond to?

Of course, yup.

Liar. I sent you a reminder

that we're recording
our nomination speeches

for homecoming at Slauson Cafe tonight.

- SPENCER: Okay, bet.
- KIA: I'll make sure that you and Coop

don't go back-to-back to
give y'all a little more space.

But you know how I roll.
I'm keeping the faith

'cause you are the Patrick
to her Spongebob,

the flaming hots to her
brisk iced tea. Heh!

Y'all need each other
for real, for real.

- SPENCER: Flaming hots?
- KIA: Okay, yeah.

That was a little cheesy. Ha ha!

[SIGHS] I can't with them.

KIA: Our resource cops
stay harassing Jabari

ever since he got released from juvie.

What he get locked up for?

He got caught up in some
Bling-Ring nonsense.

Jabari was a lookout while some
older dudes robbed a house.

You know, he was supposed
to get out in a year,

but he got out in 3 months
on good behavior.

They don't care, though.

KIA: All those cops see is
a threat to their fragility.

Yeah, I'll see you tonight.

Yeah.

Hey, Jabari...

Seen what went down with that cop, man.

If you want, I could
talk to Coach Baker.

Naw, I'm cool, man.

I mean, I ain't got nothing to hide.

You know, in fact... Heh!...

I kind of like making
them cops look stupid.

Hey, listen, my bad for how
I came at you yesterday.

You're a lot nicer on
the field than I thought.

Heh! Yeah, you, too.

It's been a minute since
I was covered like that.

Oh, I did that in some J's
and some skinny jeans.

Imagine if I had cleats.

Hey, you need to chill out,
homie. [CHUCKLING]

I mean, if you're feeling
yourself that much,

why not join the team?

Oh, nah, I'm cool, man.

Hey, look, look, we this close
to turning things around, bro.

We could use a beast like you on D,

and if this is about your GPA,

then don't even trip,
all right? I've got you.

I'mma start tutoring my teammates,
we got, like, what,

3 weeks till the end of semester?

On God, I'mma get y'all right
before homecoming.

Hey, my grades ain't the issue.

I took classes in juvie, homie.

My GPA's solid enough to pass.

But when Coach looked you up,

he said your last semester
was incomplete.

That's because Principal Carter

ain't in no rush to get
my transcripts transferred.

Now how 'bout you stay out my business,

- Black Jesus?
- [SHUTS LOCKER]

- GRACE: Anything else?
- CARTER: That's about it.

Once you make those small
changes, I'll get you the budget,

and we'll discuss the next steps.

Not bad, Ms. James.

Thanks. I'll get right on it.

Oh, one more thing... this new
GPA requirement for athletics.

Doesn't affect Spencer.
He's got good grades.

But it affects his team,
so it does affect him.

Look, I know you and
Billy have history with

some kid-like bullying
back in the day...

There was nothing kid-like about it.

Well, maybe you're not
remembering it correctly

because that doesn't even
sound like the Billy I know.

Well, maybe you don't know him
as well as you think you do.

SPENCER: 'Scuse me.
I'm sorry to interrupt.

Sir, why won't you let Jabari Long's

credits transfer over from juvie?

I don't discuss students' personal
information with other students.

Look, he was 15 years old,

and he made a bad choice,
like teens do everywhere,

every day. He got to
pay for that forever?

He made his own bed,

and despite how badly you and
Coach Baker want to win games,

Jabari doesn't get special treatment

just to benefit the football program.

It's not special treatment.
He took the classes.

Oh, let me guess:
he don't fit your image

of what a young black male should be,

so the hell with him and his future?

GRACE: Spencer James.

Sorry, Mom. I'mma... I'mma get to class.

[FOOTSTEPS RETREAT]

This new generation is... passionate.

My son is right.

You keep talking academic excellence

and creating an environment

full of opportunities for these kids,

but your unwillingness
to help this Jabari kid

is telling me exactly what
I need to know about you.

Mmm, it was inevitable.

Just didn't expect us to
break up the way that we did.

Uh, yeah, the weekend
at Spencer's cabin was

a lot, but maybe it wasn't a bad thing.

Maybe it was the perfect
storm of destruction to...

allow you to put the pieces
back together the right way.

Okay, Jordan Pinkett. [SCOFFS]

What does that mean?

It's time you go for what you want

I mean, you see how much
collateral damage

we've already caused
with just one Vegas kiss.

Look at me and Simone, right?

We made a very unpopular
decision, but it worked.

It turned out great.

I've never been happier.

Yeah, for now,

until both your parents find out
that not only are you married,

but you also stole Mom's
signature to make it happen.

Look, we'll cross that bridge
when we get there, all right?

But in the meantime, you have
bridges yourself to mend.

Yeah.

I'll reach out to Spencer...

eventually.

I meant Layla.

Yo, okay, I'm honored
that you're comparing me

to my forever first

Besides, been a minute.
Thought you was done with me.

I just got back from Philly,

went to go do some
on-the-ground research,

see what Mo's been up to since
leaving Crenshaw 10 years ago.

COOP: And?

I mean, I talked to some
folks, and apparently,

she's heavily invested in the
social justice community out there.

I mean, she's well-respected,

been doing all this
groundbreaking stuff,

so to me, it's looking
like she checks out.

Hmm.

Told you ain't got to worry about it.

What's wrong with you?

Who says something's wrong?

I flew across country to
get this information on Mo,

and all you've got to say is, "Huh"?

Plus you got that sad-ass
puppy look you be doing

whenever you stressing over something.

Look, Spencer and I cut
each other off, all right?

It's been harder than
I thought to let go.

Like, seeing him every

It's really rough.

Look, I'mma keep it a buck.

make up or you might not,

but don't put your life

as hard as it is.

Is that how you got over Mo?

Uh-uh, we ain't going there.

You got to do you, and don't nobody else

know what that look like but you.

[POP MUSIC PLAYING]

Uh, didn't expect to see you here.

Yeah, and I was hoping not to see you.

Okay.

You know what hurt the most?

The fact that you strung
me along out of pity

'cause you thought I was too
fragile to handle the truth.

- SPENCER: Layla, I never...
- LAYLA: Yes, I spent some time

in a mental facility, but I owned that,

and I actually learned a
lot from that experience,

and I learned a lot from my time on tour

'cause you know what, Spencer?

That's what people do.

We grow and we evolve.

You'd be surprised what
my bad ass can handle,

but you'll never know.

You know, that night in Vegas,

you were so busy trying

But you actually ended up
causing the most damage.

- DILLON: Coop.

You moving back in?

Nah, little man.

This for Spence.

What is it?

It's, uh...

It's just some stuff I

GRACE: Uh-uh!

You not leaving that here, girl.

I recognize that box.

I gave Micah that same
box when we broke up.

Dillon and I are not

you and Spencer's friendship.
Y'all figure it out.

Come on, Ms. Grace.
You don't understand.

I understand that you and
Spencer have been friends

way too long to go out like this.

Real friends don't take the easy way out

by running away from
their problems, Tamia.

If you want to throw
your friendship away,

you give Spencer that box yourself.

Yes, ma'am.

She's like an angel.

Yo, yo, dude, check this out, huh?

We're practically twinning on twin day.

Progress, bro, progress.

MONTES: Change of plans, Adams.

I'm gonna have you run with the
second-team offense during practice.

Wait, what? U-Uh, Coach, no disrespect,

but I've been running with
first team since I came back.

And you've been crushing it.

Okay, so if it's not broken,

why are you making a change?

Is this, like, a punishment thing

- 'cause of me and Vanessa?
- MONTES: You and Vanessa?

I'm switching Peterson to offense,

and I need somebody to
help him with the playbook.

That person would be you,

you got a coach's instinct,

your leadership skills
have been off the chart

since you returned, so this is more of

a, um, compliment thing?

I am... I'm sorry. I'll go check
on Peterson real quick.

Not so fast, Adams.

After practice, I'm gonna need an answer

to that "you and Vanessa" thing.

You're gonna walk me through everything.

Okay, now hear me out.

you're not listening to me?

Sorry. I'm good. I'm good.

Aren't you supposed to be recording

Yeah. Real talk?

I ain't been feeling all
that king-like lately.

Huh. Well...

What is a king, anyway?

Heh!

You know, I came back
home to make a difference,

but so far, it's just been messy.

I mean, I want to tutor my
teammates and help Jabari,

but I can't even make that happen.

I mean, maybe everybody's right.

Maybe I should stop
trying to be a superhero.

Absolutely not.

That is one of your gifts.

Look, if anybody's to
blame, it's probably me.

I know there are times I put

probably too much on your shoulders,

more than I should have, like right now.

No, no, this ain't about
you, Coach. It's on me.

You put too much pressure
on yourself, man.

You can't do all this alone.

My mother used to say, "If
you want to go fast, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together".

[EXHALES]

Don't be afraid to ask for help.

There's honor in that.

[OLIVIA SIGHS]

[WHISPERING] I can do
this, I can do this,

I can do this, I can
do this, I can do this.

Uhh! Okay.

[POP MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey.

I know things are, like, a little weird,

but I was really hoping to talk to you.

Honestly, Liv, I've had
all the confrontations

I can have for one day.

I'm not... I'm not here
to confront you. I just...

Okay, I understand why you're upset,

but I didn't... I didn't do anything.

"Didn't do anything"? Are you serious?

Spencer told me he loved me.

I didn't tell him to say that.

Right, and the, um, lying to me

for months while Spencer made
a fool out of me, what was that?

Spencer genuinely cares for
you, Layla. That wasn't a lie.

So cares for me, but loves you.

I'm over it.

I refuse to be a cliche standing around

fighting over a boy.

I mean, it's not like you and Spencer

were even together at the time.

What, you want to argue technicalities?

You don't get it. It's not
about Spencer or Asher

or any of my other exes
you want to go for,

it's about loyalty, okay?

And the fact is, you suck as a friend.

Layla, you wouldn't know loyalty
if it had a price tag

because you don't value
anyone or anything

once it gets in the way
of what you want.

- LAYLA: That's not true.
- Really?

Because when Spencer
first got to Beverly,

you intentionally got him drunk

and almost ruined his football dreams,

and then you tried to get
me to hook up with him

until you realized that you
just wanted him for yourself,

and then suddenly my feelings
just didn't matter anymore,

and despite all of that,

I still supported you
at your lowest point,

when you were battling your
depression, unlike you, who,

if I remember correctly,

told me that you didn't even realize

that my addiction was "that bad"

after I got back from rehab last year.

I mean, what kind of friend is that?

Um, the kind who knows

when to pull the dagger out
of her back and walk away.

[SNIFFS] You know, um,

I'm not gonna stand in your way anymore,

so you can have Spencer.

I'm done with him...

and you.

[SIGHS]

Have you heard from Spence? He's next.

Never mind. I will text him.

Look, we can go ahead and just
do mine, since we're waiting.

That way, I ain't got to see him.

Up to you.

SPENCER: Kia.

- KIA: You're late!
- SPENCER: I know.

- I know. My bad...
- KIA: I don't care.

Just get your butt onstage.
I'm hitting record.

[SIGHS] Uh,

look, I wasn't gonna record
my speech tonight,

but then a, uh...

a smart man asked me,

"What is a king, anyway?"

[BILLY CHUCKLES]

SPENCER: Look, I don't
know what a king is,

but I know everybody watching this

has something that makes
them king- and queen-like,

whether it's Kia's love for the culture,

or my homie Chris's loyalty, or...

or Coop's resilience.

We all got a superpower,

and being Mr. South Crenshaw
is about recognizing

another person's superpower,

it's about leaning on 'em
when you need help.

This whole time, I thought
I needed to be the resource,

but truthfully, we
all the resource, man.

SPENCER: And if we want all of us

South Crenshaw Chargers to prosper,

it's gonna take everybody...

Everybody.

This ain't about one of us.

It's about all of us.

[FOOTSTEPS DESCEND]

- KIA: Good job. Mm-hmm.
- SPENCER: Later.

"Smart man", huh?

Yeah, I might have
embellished a little bit.

Ha ha ha! Oh, FYI.

Uh, I heard back from
3 of our best teachers,

and they're all down to help you tutor

our boys before school so,

between them and the kids from JV,

we might actually have
a shot at something.

- SPENCER: Prayers up.
- JABARI: Hey, my bad.

Kia mentioned I would find y'all here.

BILLY: What's up?

I just wanted to say thank you

for getting my juvie
credits transferred.

Uh, that... that's dope, man,

but that ain't had
nothing to do with me.

- Yeah, me, neither.
- Well, whoever it was,

they did me a solid.

Huh.

If you still got a spot for me,

I'd like to join the team, Coach.

I've been hearing some good
things, some real good things,

but look, don't expect me to
start you right out the gate.

You're gonna have to earn your
spot, just like everybody else.

I got you, Coach.

Hey, you still tutoring?

Yeah, yeah, you should slide through.

I will, but not as no student.

You got yourself another tutor.

Yeah, I'm a science wiz.

- BILLY: For real?
- JABARI: 3.4 GPA.

- BILLY: Uh-oh.
- JABARI: I mean, it's like you said.

We all the resource, right?

- Yes, we are.
- [SHAKE HANDS]

Appreciate you.

I'mma stick around.

Good speech.

A science wiz?

[BILLY AND JABARI CHATTER INDISTINCTLY]

[POP MUSIC PLAYING]

- JJ: What is that?
- ASHER: Close game.

Close game.

JORDAN: Ha ha!

Hey, got a minute?

Uh, sure.

So, what you think?

Her shoes are white. Yours aren't.

Definitely not a match.

You're right.

No, mine are more of an alabaster.

You know, honestly, dude,

V and I don't need twin
day to validate our thing.

I mean, what we have is definitely

trending in the right direction.

Yeah, you think so?

Then why is she talking to
Ash right now and not you?

Well, 'cause they're friends. [SCOFFS]

VANESSA: I can't believe you
told my mom about this summer.

And did you actually think

I was asking you to
the movies as a date?

I mean, you've been single
for what, two seconds?

My bad. I... I misread the moment
with you this morning.

And apparently you misread the moment

with my mom this afternoon.

You suck at reading women.

ASHER: Damn. Harsh, but okay.

VANESSA: Look, I have
no interest in dating you.

I'm not some rebound. I know my worth.

I was legit asking you out as a friend,

no strings attached. I've missed that.

I've missed it, too.

All right.

We need a do-over.

Clean slate.

Just friends?

Deal.

You still want to see "The Hot Chick"?

Actually, I'm going with JJ.

Heh heh!

Hey, for real?

KIA: Dang, girl. Can you
look a little less dead?

- This is your big moment.
- COOP: But it's not.

My big moment is out there
on a different stage.

- Can we just get this over with?
- KIA: Okay, go.

COOP: Look, I know y'all expecting me

to get up here and make
a bunch of promises,

promises that I can't keep if
chosen as Ms. South Crenshaw.

Spencer was right,

and a queen recognizes
the superpowers in others,

but also has to recognize her own first.

She has to recognize what's
best for her and what's not.

Being a queen means leading my example,

and sometimes winning
means moving out the way

so the right person can take the role

'cause you win when you
do what's best for you,

not what others think is best.

Plus, you can't be a queen

if you ain't staying in the kingdom.

So I appreciate the nomination,

but I respectfully decline.

I'm gonna take my superpowers
where they're needed most.

Thank you.

Wait. Coop,

why does it sound like
you just quit school?

'Cause I did.

I'm officially quitting

everything that's holding me back.

KIA: Are you not gonna try to stop her?

Uh, yeah, I just forgot
my wallet. I'm fine.

Look, Jordan, I don't want to
put you in the middle of it.

- She's your sister.

I take it things didn't

- LAYLA: Uh, yeah, not exactly.
- JORDAN: I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize,
Jordan. I'm okay.

Honestly, I'm just...

I'm just tired of the lies
and everyone thinking

I'm not mentally stable
enough to handle anything.

I should go.

For the record, Layla...

You're one of the
strongest people I know.

Never doubted it.

- LAYLA: Thanks.
- JORDAN: Yeah.

See ya.

See ya.

[ZIPS BRIEFCASE]

Oh, hey, Mr. Carter. Ahem.

I, uh, I just wanted
to thank you, for, uh,

reconsidering the... the conversation

and transferring Jabari's credits.

My decision had nothing to do with you.

Grace and Spencer reminded me the value

of fighting to make a place for every
student here at South Crenshaw.

My man...

What I got to do to dead this

high-school beef thing
we got between us?

There's no "deading" the fact

that you punched me so hard,

I ended up in the E.R. with 7 stitches.

That never happened.

You see, that's the problem.

You got to move on, carefree,

wipe it from your memory, and go on

and be the big shot
while my life got blown up.

Okay, my parents pulled me
out of South Crenshaw

because they feared for my safety.

That's how real it was.

You're the reason that I
was sent to boarding school

and taken away from my family.

That changed my life.

Look, man, I'm sorry that all
that happened to you, um...

But I'm telling you,

you're remembering it wrong.

Can you hurry your butt, please?

I told Mr. Draymond I
would have everything

cleaned up and back in place by 10:00.

- SPENCER: My bad.
- [DOOR OPENS]

Dang! It's 10:00 already?

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hey.

Hey.

You know what? I'm just gonna go do, um,

whatever, in the back, so...

I'm sorry that I didn't
respond to your text earlier.

I didn't mean to... Heh!...

leave you in some weird
3-dot ransom all day.

- SPENCER: It's all good.
- OLIVIA: It's not,

but...

I'm gonna fix it.

Oh, you're gonna make me wait.

Us being together may not be...

the most popular choice,

All we can worry about is us,

this.
