Alex, who attends high school and has a part time job at a Target in Texas, flew to California earlier today, according to his Twitter page.

Alex has over half a million followers, thanks to the #AlexFromTarget campaign.

"It's weird, but you have to take it in stride," said Rhett Biehahn, Alex's friend, told ABC News affiliate WFAA.
