The sun was beaming down as Chloe zipped past the finish line, chest heaving. She had just broken her personal best in the 100-meter dash. Her best friend, Sarah, always there to cheer her on, was jumping up and down, applauding. Chloe grinned, a triumphant glow radiating from her.

Sarah raced towards her, her face a mixture of emotions. Chloe’s smile wavered. “I have something to tell you…” Sarah said, her voice slightly shaky.

Chloe’s elation evaporated. The world around her seemed to shrink. “My family is relocating to Oregon.”
