[ WP ] Teleportation is finally invented . Your friend is one of the first people to use it . After coming out on the other side , the more time you spend with him , the more you realize that this is not your friend

One day, me and my friend were walking home from school. We walked past a man's house, and we knew that he was a `` crazy'' person, but at least not on drugs. He comes running out to us, and asks my friend if he wants to try his new teleportation machine. He agrees, and asks `` Where will it take me?'' The man replies `` Just down the street.'' He powers it on and a mysterious green gas starts to appear. The man tells me to back away as his friend is getting teleported. Almost instantaneously, the machine shuts off and my friend is gone. We walk down the street and we find him. He says `` Woah, that was awesome! ``, and we continue on our merry way down to our houses. 
 
 Right after dinner, he texts me with `` Ca n't wait to be the new popular kid at school!'' `` Was n't that teleportation machine so awesome? ``, I replied `` Sure...'' I had a bad feeling about what was going to happen at school the next day. 
 
 In first period, nothing much happened except him telling people he went in a working teleportation machine, but people did n't really care, and thought that he was lying. Second period was sort of the same, except really he could n't say anything because we had a really strict teacher that would get really upset if you are disrespectful. In third period, when we had a group project, that was all he was talking about. Nobody believed him. He then said `` Well, my friend over here witnessed it and can tell you that it did in fact work!'' I decided, what's the worst that could happen? After all, I did see him go in that machine and it worked... 
 
 I said `` Yep, I saw it happen. ``, then I realized I made a huge mistake. The mistake was n't going to hit me now, but soon. News in my school spread like a wildfire. When recess rolls along, everyone in our grade was speaking about it. Me and my friend got a barrage of questions and most of them were `` What did it look like?'' and `` How long did it take?'' The questions for me were slowly starting to die down because I was only the witness. My friend was the new popular kid in school. He was a bit immature, so to `` retain his popularity'', he decided that he had to bully people because, really, that's what popular kids in my school did. This is when it hit me - I should n't have said that I saw it happen. He starts to make fun of me, and all of my other friends to keep his `` roasting'' popularity. 
 
 This is when I realized he is not your friend. 
 I realized that I kinda did n't follow the prompt ( sorry! ) but I hope it's interesting nonetheless.
