Eagles fan and high school student Hannah Delmonte loves Eagles linebacker Emmanuel Acho. So back in January, she asked him to be her date to the prom. He said he would go ... under one condition.

The best part? HE QUOTED THE HUNGER GAMES.

Well, sure enough: over 10,000 retweets. So last week, Acho made good on the wager, surprising Hannah at school.

Way to be a great dude, Emmanuel. Just don’t forget: in Hannah’s own words, SHE’S taking YOU to prom.
