Junior Asher Christine gathered up his courage and asked his girlfriend, Kamryn Mercer from Bellwood, to Prom in front of a  room full of people exiting the theater. After watching the new movie Beauty and the Beast, Kamryn was shocked to find Asher waiting in the lobby with a glass-covered rose and an iconic sign that read “I may not be a beast, but you sure are a beauty! Prom?”

EE: Give us your side of the story. Why do you think they asked you?
