Newberry caught Ben Robinson completely off guard when she asked him to prom. Ben had no idea she was going to ask him.
But after the video went viral, she was a little put off by all the praise she received on social media.
"Yeah, it's not that at all. I don't think that me asking my friend to prom makes me a good person," Rachel said.
To Rachel, she was simply asking her best friend to prom.
"When you say best friend, you mean best friend," Steve Hartman said.
"I mean best friend, yeah," Rachel replied, holding back tears.
