Pippa and the Phone Call

I didn't want to believe it. But I heard the words with my own ears. My mom said my best friend Emma was moving ...tomorrow!

I was late for the school bus. So I ran out the door before I heard anything else. Emma was in our usual seat. She acted as if nothing was wrong.

I blurted out what I'd just heard. "Moving?" she cried. "Where?" "I don't know!" I said. "What if we never see each other again?"

After school, Emma and I ran to my treehouse. We needed to come up with a plan. "I could pretend I have the flu!" Emma said. "Or you could hide at my house," I said.

But our ideas would only delay the move - not stop it. We knew what we had to do. We went to Emma's house and begged her parents not to move away.
