Energy doesen't die it only changes form.

It isn't just friction. The electrical charges are extracted from the materials being rubbed because the materials are different. You could stoke glass with silk, for instance, and much like a lint brush removes the loose bits of thread from a fabric, so too, the silk pulls the electrons out of place.
If you rub your sock feet across a carpet, you get much the same effect. Some electrons stick to you, and leave the carpet which is then short of electrons (has excess holes, more protons than electrons, or a positive charge) and then when you touch a tap or door knob, your extra electrons leave through the easy path, causing a spark.

static electricity is formed when a donor of electron and an acceptor of electron are rubbed together.friction peels off the electrons from the donor and passes them on the the acceptor

in laymans terms, you remove electrons from one surface and deposit them on the other, creating a potential difference, a voltage.. The one with the extra electrons becomes negative (-), and the other becomes positive (+)..

This website will explain how static electricity is generated by friction.
