"No I don't think so," everyone's spirits went down except Grace's, for she had no clue what they were talking about, "Why?"
Avery ran out of the room, tripped down the stairs, picked herself up, and kept running to the old oak in the park she always went to when something was wrong. With her body aching because of tumbling down the 17 stairs.
"What's wrong with her?" Grace asked concerned.
"Nothing," Cody looked downcast, "She'll get over it,"
"Well, I got to go, we're going to a boarding school so you know," Brice told her hoping she would by it.
"What? All of you?" she sounded so surprised and sad, "What am I going to do?"
"I think you should go talk to Avery. She's not taking it well that she's leaving," Cody said, "You'll probably find her in the old oak," he told her knowing Avery too well.
She nodded and started out the door with the boys following her. When they reached the door Brice spoke, "We better get going. We have to get ready,"
"Ok, stop by or something before you guys go," she told them, "You can't leave without saying goodbye.
"Of course!" Cody and Brice assured her.
They left and Grace kept walking to the park. Grace could see Avery up in the tree crying softly. No one had seen Avery cry other than Grace when Avery's grandparents had died from a terrible disaster.
"Avery, what's wrong?" Grace said from the base of the tall tree.
"Grace, I'm leaving in a couple of days to go to a school away from here," she sobbed.
"We'll stay in touch won't we?" Grace was looking for some hope, "Yeah, sure, but I will be gone, and we can't do anything together while I'm away. I don't know what I'm going to do without you," she started crying even harder. At their school and around their neighborhood, it was known that Avery and Grace were always together. If one wasn't with the other something terrible was wrong, for they rarely were apart.
"Please don't cry, Avery," silent tears started trickling down her own face, "You're making me cry. It won't be all that bad. We will see each other during the summer right? Then, you'll fill me in on everything. Plus, you'll have Cody and Brice there," she was always the positive one.
"I guess, but they aren't the same as you. Especially not Brice, and summer is so long away. It's a whole year away," she stopped crying abruptly and started down from her spot in the tree. She swung off a branch and landed with a, "Oomph," and some dust flying from the spot her shoes hit.
"You'll meet lots of new people at your new school. Who knows, you might meet someone even better than me?" Grace looked down and started fidgeting with her hands.
Avery couldn't help it she started balling, "Don't!" she creamed, "How could you even think that, Grace Elizabeth! No one could EVER replace you. We'll always be best friends. I'll write to you all the time at my new school,"
Grace's steady tears were flooding down her face now. Avery swept her up in a warm hug, "Remember when we used to take brooms and stand on the railing of my patio and pretend we were flying, like, witches?" she started giggling.
"Avery, we still do that," Grace started laughing hysterically, with tears of happiness as she recalled the last time they had been pretending to fly last week.
"See? I'll never forget all the memories we have," Avery announced, "And…if I do find a new friend, who will never replace you, I'll have to bring her back with me and you'll have to meet her. Then, we'll all be friends. What do you say? Friends forever, no matter what happens?"
"You're so smart, Avery. Do you know that?" Grace asked.
"Of course, you are usually so good at stating the obvious," Avery told her best friend.
"Don't be so modest!" Grace laughed, "You're incorrigible," Grace rolled her eyes. (An embodied voice says: Don't be so modest! ~~ LOL!!! J/K!)
"I know, I know," Avery bowed.
"Let's go get some home made ice cream," Avery had a craving for cold, yummy, delicious, grasshopper ice cream.
Her mom had her own recipe of grasshopper ice cream, and she always kept a spare container in the freezer for her kids and herself, of course.
"Yeah, I think that would cheer us up," Grace smiled.
They walked down the road arms hanging, playfully around each other's shoulder, joking all the way to Avery's house.
