A high school senior was able to use the power of Twitter to get David Harbour AKA Chief Hopper from Stranger Things to appear in her senior yearbook photos. On October 29th, Damaris Fregoso, a 17-year-old high school student from California, asked actor David Harbour how many retweets it would take for him to appear in her senior portraits. The magic number was 25,000.

With the help of Stranger Things actor Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers on the show, Damaris was able to get 25,000 RTs with ease, notching over 30,000 RTs by the next day.

I don’t always take senoir portraits, but when I do, it’s because @postydamaris gets 25k+ retweets and @DavidKHarbour agrees to take them with her as long as he is allowed to hold a trombone. 😂 pic.twitter.com/XTmYjrvm9r

Damaris may not be allowed to use the photos for her official senior portrait in the yearbook since it is against the rules for two people to be in one photo. But the experience is way worth it especially all she had to do was get people to retweet her.
Once again I wanna thank everyone from the bottom of my heart! I would've never met david if it wasn't for you who rt'ed! It's still hard to believe that I met him, but I thank you, for the continuous love and support on all my social medias! y'all are too sweet! much love xoxo
