Cheerleader surprises everyone with prom pick

KELLER, TEXAS - The end of the school year in North Texas circles around the all important night of prom for a lot of high school students.

But one senior at Keller's Central High School has set the bar especially high in 2016.

Kenzi Miller, 18, spent the past few weeks organizing a promposal for a longtime friend who caught some of her other friends off guard.

"They're not trying to be rude," Miller said. "They just say, 'You want to take him to your senior prom?' And I say, 'Why not?'"

That "him" is 18-year-old Cameron Biagiotti.

He has Williams Syndrome, a rare condition that impacts cardiovascular health and slows development.

None of that bothers Miller, who struck up a friendship with Biagiotti years ago.

"They just accept you for who you are," Miller said. "You don't have to act a certain way. Everyone can be very open. I can be however I want when I'm with Cameron."

Still, senior prom is senior prom. And Miller would be any boy's dream date.

"She is a cheerleader, really well liked," said Biagiotti's mom, Rebecca Barnhart. "She could have picked anyone to go to prom with."

But Miller was fixed on Biagiotti.

Watch the video above to see Miller's epic promposal and hear Biagiotti's response.
