"no" i replied " what happens if Alex gets a nightmare or gets lonely huh what happens then"i exclaimed angrily with tears welling up in my eyes as i remember the great times we had together like when i taught him to ride a bike or when i played with him when he was little.today was his first day of high school and when he was walking up to the gate he looked sad and lonely so i ran over to him but a crowd beat me to it it was unbelievable Alex was popular for once and didn't need me anymore i read an article about what happened to imaginary friends after their not needed and how they fade away so i tried my hardest to make him need me i sat in front of him in maths to block his view but he just stared right through me and in home economics i chucked a blob of cupcake batter at him but he took it as a game and started a food fight which made him even more popular. in business i hacked his computer and tried to send him a message but he anti-virus ed me . the bell rang and after a long day of trying to get Alex's attention i had failed i sat next to him on the bus home " hi Alex" i whispered softly i stared at the floor but something caught my attention, my feet had faded away the fade travelled up my arm and over my shoulders with my last breath i whimpered "good luck Alex" then faded away completley
