"The Thing About Cassandra" by Neil Gaiman

This was weird & wandering with a very unreliable narrator. I wasn't sure what to make of it. Interesting, but no impact.
It reminded me of the kid in The Breakfast Club, who had an imaginary girlfriend who moved to Canada.
I have to admit - the 'twist' ending took me by surprise
The twist definitely caught me and while I enjoyed it generally, I agree with Jim. Interesting but no impact. Although thinking about it now, no impact ties in nicely with the story itself.
