Read the excerpt from the story The Big Move

Sandeep and Den were best friends living on a small island off the coast of Maine. They weren't alike, but they were two peas in a pod. Den was usually calm, logical, and level headed, while Sandeep often reacted based on his emotions. Still, they did everything together. They biked down to the general store to spend their allowance every Saturday afternoon, spent their summers at the same camp, and took the ferry every morning to the same school on the mainland. In fact, the two were inseparable.


That is until one beautiful summer day when Den came over to Sandeep's house for lunch.


"We're moving," Den said.


"Ha! Yeah, right. What do you mean you're moving?" Sandeep replied.


Den elaborated, "Mom and Dad say we're moving to the mainland. With my dad's new job, he says it's too hard to commute on the ferry for the night shifts he's doing."


Sandeep did not know what to do with this information. He stared down sadly at his grilled cheese sandwich, not knowing how to reply. He felt nauseous at the thought of losing his best friend.


"Well aren't you going to say something?" Den asked, his face filled with concern about his friend's response.
