A homecoming queen in Texas has shown that friendship is more important than a trinket and a title.
Trinity Arrington and Emily Petty are two friends who were both in the running for homecoming queen at S&S High School in Sadler, Texas, KXII reported.
When the winner's name was called, it was Trinity's that was heard over the stadium loudspeaker.
She told the news station that her winning came as a surprise and that she told her friends to vote for Emily instead of her.
Emily has Down syndrome.
But instead of the crown resting solely on Trinity's head, she decided to give it to Emily.
The two have been friends for about a year after Trinity started eating lunch with Emily in the special education classroom, CBS News reported.
