Lily was so excited for the first day of school. She couldn't wait to see her best friend, Emma, and tell her all about her summer vacation. As Lily walked into the classroom, she spotted Emma and ran over to give her a big hug.
"Emma, I missed you so much!" Lily exclaimed. "I have so many stories to tell you about my trip to the beach."
Emma smiled, but Lily could tell something was wrong. "What's the matter, Emma?" Lily asked.
"Lily, I have something to tell you," Emma said, her voice shaking. "My family is moving to a new city at the end of the month."
Lily's eyes grew wide with shock. "Moving? But you can't move! You're my best friend!" she cried.
Emma's eyes filled with tears. "I know, Lily. I'm going to miss you so much. But my dad got a new job, and we have to move."
Lily felt her own eyes getting teary. She and Emma had been best friends since preschool, and she couldn't imagine not seeing her every day. They did everything together, from playing at the park to having sleepovers.
"Is there anything we can do?" Lily asked, desperate to find a way to keep her friend.
Emma shook her head. "I'm afraid not. My parents have already started packing, and the moving truck is coming in a few weeks."
Lily's heart sank. She didn't know what she was going to do without her best friend. They had always been there for each other, and Lily couldn't imagine her life without Emma.
