My Imaginary Friend

Previous days ago my lecturer gave us an assignment. She ordered us to write a short story about our experience. I wrote a story about my imaginary friend when I was a child. Let me rewrite it for you :

Long time ago I had a friend named Tom. He was a charming boy. He became to my friend since I was three years-old. Everywhere I went, he always followed me. I had lot of fun with him. I never felt alone because he always came to me. Tom always helped me everytime I was in trouble. He came to amuse me while a was crying. He showed me how to be happy when I was sad. Oneday, after I was graduated from elementary school, my parents got me to junior high school. I had lot of new friends. Sice that time I began to forget Tom. He never came to meagain because I never asked to. I was to busy to have fun with my new friends. But now I miss so much. Tom, a friend who never betrayed to me. I want to redo what we ever had a long time ago. Tom is my friend who never left me. Although no one can see him, Tom is real for me. I hope I can meet him again.

My lecturer said that commonly, a child would have an imaginary friend in the same sex. I just said that maybe it was becaused of my social environment. Almost my neighbours are guy even my siblings are boys too. Then my lecturer asked if I had girl friend or not. I just said that I did have but not too close. I forget to say that I was not too close too with my boy friends. Moreover, actually I didn’t too interesting with girl friends. i was rather tomboy at that time, actually I still am.

When I was child I din’t have any best friend. Maybe I had a bad characteristic so no one wanted to close with me. So I created Tom. Maybe I named him Tom because it was a simple yet fun name. I got it from Tom and Jerry cartoon, hahaha.

Yeah, I do miss Tom right now. Like what I said, he never betrayed and left me. I’d like to asked him to come again, I don’t care I am too old for having an imaginary frind, I don’t care. I just need a friend. a best friend of mine. No one can bother our friendship again. No one.

I’d like to say thank for my Listening Chomprehension lecturer, Ms Sri Suprapti who made me remember my old (imaginary) friend. thank you so much, XOXO.

p.s. I will never afraid again wherever I go because Tom has come back!
