L.A. student Jake Davidson has a crush on Sports Illustrated cover model Kate Upton. Naturally, he figured it couldn’t hurt to ask her to be his prom date. What did he have to lose, right?
@KateUpton you are the most beautiful woman in the world! Please do me the great honor of going to prom with me!http://t.co/7PpLSIIXBG
— jake davidson (@JakeDavidson23) March 17, 2013
He turned to the Twitterverse to help get his message out:
@BillSimmons you indirectly gave me this idea after your college fantasy league! Please retweet and help me! http://t.co/7PpLSIIXBG

It was a long shot. Perhaps the longest of long shots. But the great thing about America is that dreams really can come true:
“@JakeDavidson23:http://t.co/4PjGLDd6i9” you can call me Katie if you want! How could I turn down that video! I'll check my schedule 😉
— Kate Upton (@KateUpton) March 19, 2013
@KateUpton you truly are incredible. Just responding made my year, thanks so much! P.S. Hope your schedule is free!

— jake davidson (@JakeDavidson23) March 20, 2013
Where he got another special treat:
"I'd love to go with you." –@KateUpton to Jake Davidson, the high school senior who asked her to prom.

Upton still hasn’t confirmed whether or not she’ll go with Davidson to prom, but if it’s a go, a private security firm (according to its Twitter account) has offered its services:
@JakeDavidson23 @KateUpton We would like to provide our services free of charge, in hope that Ms. Upton feels secure and accepts.

Dudes everywhere are green with envy.
Oh, @KateUpton, why didn't I ask you to my senior prom back in 2009? You would've been the belle of the ball. I envy you @JakeDavidson23.
