3:45pm

When I got home from school, mom and her new husband, Kevin..were waiting for me in the living room. Mom was crying-which made me tear up.

Honey, your principal called me today..he said that you had an accident at lunch today...Is that right..? Mom asked. I nod, sitting down.

What happened..exactly..? Kevin questions.

Scott kissed another girl..and I got mad. I reply.

I never really told my family about Georgie. I mean..would they really believe a 16 year old girl with a super natural friend?

A student told him you were whispering to yourself..?

No..mom..I'm not crazy. I just got into a little fight.

LACEY, YOU KILLED TWO OF YOUR CLASSMATES!!! Mom screams.

Kevin hugs my mother. She cries into his chest.

I didn't kill them..um..Georgie did.

Who in hell is Georgie?!

My..so called..imaginary friend. I bite my lip.

That wasn't a good idea..Lacey...they're going to not take it well. Georgie tells me.

Stop playing games..Lacey. Kevin yells.

I'm not!! It's true!!! Take me to do a cat scan!!!

That'd show them.

Few minutes later..

The big white head thingy goes over my head. Georgie asks me if they should die..I tell him no. I know he's gonna do something bad..even if he says he isn't.

Relax..and try not to move. The doctor tells me. Kevin holds my mom in his arms. Her eyes tear.

I close my eyes and ignore the loud sound. Then, it's over.

Thank you, Georgie.

My mom screams. The image shows up on the screen. I see Georgie inside me. He looks squished. Kevin cries too. The doctor yells for another doctor.

Georgie..could you take care of the doctors? I ask. He does.

I get up and walk to mom. Kevin shields her.

Take me home now. I say. My voice changed to Georgie's when I said that. I was kinda creepy.

They do as I say. Then, we off to go home.
