Michael Ramirez is one lucky teenager. This Crosby High offensive lineman saw himself with no date for prom, so he decided to invite Caitlyn Beth, a Texans cheerleader if he got 10,000 retweets. It all began last Thursday, Feb. 27, when Ramirez realized another cheerleader from the same team, Lesha, had just followed him on Twitter. Soon after, Caitlyn had done the same.
“You know what? I’m going to ask (Caitlyn) to prom,” Ramirez told his friend. “She’s cute. We’ll just see what happens.” So he immediately messaged the cheerleader, writing “If I get 10,000 retweets, will you go to prom with me, you will get asked in a cute way!” She immediately replied “Of course I will,” and the battle for the retweets began. Ramirez wrote under his Twitter handle, “10,000 Retweets and I’ll be taking a texans cheerleader to prom. … RETWEET RETWEET RETWEET.”
By 4:30 p.m. Friday, his tweet had gotten 10,592 retweets and 857 favorites. “I was sitting in sixth period and everybody’s all like, ‘Oh, look, he’s one (retweet) away, he’s one away,’ ” Ramirez said. “And I hit 10 (thousand) and everybody started clapping and going crazy. And I was all, like, ‘Yep.’” When 20-year-old Caitlyn realized the achievement, she tweeted: “Can’t wait for prom.” That’s how dreams come true and this 17-year-old senior will get his dream prom date.
