  ME So you found out out it was a draw!
  BOY No, he won, He got his King to the 8th rank and it became a Queen.

  Since you can't move your king into check, you can't legally check the other king.
  
  [The Laws of Chess, section 5.2b](https://www.fide.com/component/handbook/?id=171&view=article), states that:
  
  > The game is drawn when a position has arisen in which neither player can checkmate the opponent’s king with any series of legal moves. The game is said to end in a ‘dead position’. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the position was in accordance with Article 3 and Articles 4.2 – 4.7.
