LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- It may be the promposal of the season. At the very least it's the promposal of the week.

Anthony Martinez just wanted a guy to ask him to the Desert Oasis High prom.

Anthony tweeted a couple of times on Monday.

Tuesday the openly gay high schooler arrived at school to this.

Anthony's best friend Jacob Lescenski told NewNowNext that he had been planning to go to prom solo because his initial idea for the big night had fallen through.

“So, I came up with the poster idea, asked my friend Mia to make it and asked him that next day,” he recounts. “No one knew about it except for me, my friend Jamie, and Mia, who made the poster. It was a giant surprise to everyone, especially Anthony!”

Anthony posted this on his Tumblr page:

Guess who got asked to prom! BY A STRAIGHT GUY (Army pants). he’s my best friend, and a real man given the fact he has the guts to fulfill my gay student council dream of always helping out planning dances, and never getting asked. I couldn’t ask for a better person in my life.

Thank you Jacob can’t wait for May 2nd!

And the rest is promposal history.
