Julia continued to twirl her twin tails as I looked at her. "I know it will be hard for you, but-" "Julia!" A boy with blonde hair whispered to her. "Class is going to start soon! Shut up and stop talking to yourself!" The boy continued. Julia stopped twirling her twin tails. "I'm sorry-"

     "No you're not." A girl with long dark brown hair stated. "You have been talking to your imaginary friends since 7th grade. Everyone has tried to help you, but no. You don't listen. If you're going to talk to your quote on quote imaginary friends, then leave." The brown haired girl pointed to the door. 

     I felt sick. What were they talking about? Imaginary friend? Julia stood up from her desk and walked out the classroom door. I followed closely behind. She led me to a small bathroom. We entered, and Julia turned towards me.

     "Okay okay okay listen." Julia started. "My parents and people at school say that my "imaginary friends" are getting out of hand. Like, I can't have them anymore. I'm sorry, but I have to let you go." Julia bawled her fists as tears streamed down her face.

     I froze. "W-what are you talking about?? I'm the real one, you aren't! You aren't real, I am!" I screamed. Tears started to fall from my face as well. Julia shook her head. "No, I made you up! That's how I know everything about you, because I made YOU up!" Julia screamed back. I staggered back and my back slammed the cold tile walls of the bathroom. "This is impossible. This isn't true." I sobbed.

     "Look down at your hands. Do you have any?" Julia asked me. I looked down at where my hands were supposed to be. Nothing. No hands were there. I ran to the mirror above the sink. No one was there. I could only see Julia in the background, continuing to cry. I let out a small scream as I walked backwards from the mirror.

     Julia walked towards me. She placed her soft hands on my shoulder, and she gave me a smile through the tears. "I think its time for you to go now." Julia nodded towards the door. I slowly walked out, feeling the life drained from me.

     Julia walked me towards the front of the school. I pushed through the double doors. Everything felt right now. I felt a strong relief as I walked down the cracked parking lot. I felt as though...as though I was free now. Free from everything and everything. I looked back one last time to see Julia giving me a small wave and a smile. I smiled and waved back. 

                                                 I can go home now. I can finally accept reality.
