You will be given the beginning and middle of a text. It is your job to finish it. It was a warm day and Laura could not wait to get out of school. It was the last day of school. It was a weird day, too. Weird because as much as Laura wanted her summer break to start, it would mean saying good bye to her best friend, Lisa. Lisa was moving to another state in one week. "I am going to miss you so much!" Laura told Lisa at lunch that day. " I will miss you too." Lisa replied. "Maybe it won't feel like a really long drive, though!" She added. Both girls knew that it would be different.
Any ending that offers a solution to the problem and wraps the story up using the already established characters (Laura and Lisa) as well as plot (friend moving) should be acceptable.
