Teen asks friend with Down syndrome to homecoming dance

A Florida teen probably has made the year for a fellow student and friend.

Kyana Chevalier surprised John Zamminer with a proposal to go to homecoming.

She held up a sign asking him, “Wanna have a ball with me @ homecoming?!”

John who was slightly embarrassed said sure and sealed the deal with a hug, WTVT reported.

John is a student with Down syndrome. Kyana and he became friends during her sophomore year when he would show off his dancing prowess before school every morning.

"As bad as mornings are, he made everyone smile," Kyana told WTVT.

After the big proposal, John started to get teary once he realized the magnitude of the question. She then gave him another big hug.

Kyana assured John that homecoming will be their bond.

“Now we’re going to be best friends, right? And we’re going to have a great time at homecoming,” she said.
