A 5–day suspension means nothing to a high school senior but the girl he asked for a prom date will remember the invite for the rest of her life :)

So during lunchtime, Ahmad strapped a paintball vest to his waist and filled the open pockets with red paper tubes attached to red wires, a prop made to look like explosives. And he stood up on the stage in the cafeteria holding a sign that read: “I kno it’s A little Late, But I’m kinda…THE BOMB! Rilea, Will U Be My Date To Prom?”

“I’m Middle Eastern, and I thought the bomb was kind of funny and clever,” he said. “I wasn’t wearing the vest for more than, like, 20 seconds. I asked her, took a picture, took it off, and then the school got upset.”

Ahmad contends he didn’t break any school rules and added that the girl, Rilea Wolfe, said yes. But school Superintendent Mark Mansell said Ahmad clearly deserved some sort of punishment for disrupting the learning environment.
