When I was in the fifth grade I had a imaginary friend named Randy. I based whatever was happening in his life off what was going on in the episodes of my favorite tv show. I based him on 2 of the male characters. Whenever he got a girlfriend I would cry and cry because I had a secret crush on my secret imagniary friend. My mom would ask what was wrong and I would tell her that Randy didn't like me and liked some other girl instead. I let her think he was a boy at school. She told me he wasn't worth it. When she started asking me more questions about him since I cried about him often (who's class was he in, did we play together at recess) I told her he moved. I was always really embaressed about him but he didn't 'go away' till I was in middle school and got a crush on a real guy at my school and didn't watch that dumb show anymore!
