A Friend for a Day
By Bea Ponce
PROLOGUE
Do you have a REAL FRIEND?
One that keeps you company?
One that sees you more than anybody else?
The one that never lets you feel INVISIBLE?
Me? I don't have one.
I don't have a real friend, or friends.
But what I have is Dave.
My Bestfriend.
He is a product of my Imaginations.
He keeps me company,
See through me more than anybody else,
And never lets me feel invisible.
But like any other friend,
He's not perfect,
Coz he's not REAL.
It was that morning when I woke up, I saw a guy sleeping beside my bed.
He said his name was Dave.
How happy it may seem, but Dave can only be here for a day.
I never expected such things would really happen..
That even for a day, I could have someone to call "friend"

"Alone.. at last.. as always."
I hissed as I approached the very corner of the school Library. I'm Ellery, and I'm usually like this. Alone. You may think I'm a heck of weirdo, but I'M NOT. I just don't have friends. Just friends. Oh yeah, did I mention I don't have a family too? Poor me. But that didn't stop me from being Normal. I guess.
*sigh*
Best friends.. I've always dreamed of having one. Everywhere I look there are people who have someone to share their lunch with, someone to help them with their home works. It must've felt good. *deep sigh*
Days have passed when I found myself writing the name "Dave" ---who is this Dave anyway?
Without a word, an Idea came rushing to my head. I never knew I could ever think of something this silly.
"Hi Dave I'm Ellery. Your Best friend?"
Days have passed I'm starting to enjoy someone's company. Yup, I have a best friend now. He's name is Dave. My Imaginary Bestfriend. He's always been there for me when I need someone to talk to. And never let me feel alone again. However, I still feel something is missing..
That night I prayed to god that Dave would be real. I know it was kind of funny to ask such things like that. But still, I hope for it to happen.
Its morning.. urgh, still don't want to get up.
"hey Ellery wake up!"
Who was that? I thought I heard someone, I better sleep again, maybe I'm just dreaming.
"E-lle-rrryyy!!! Yuhooo!! Get up!"
The voice shouted that made me get up from my bed. My eyes widened. I wasn't sure if I'm still dreaming or what. But.. is this actually... real?
