Mia and Melise had been best friends since they were born. They were the same age, except their birthdays were in different months. Mia is able to start Kindergarten and Melise's birthday falls at the cut off time to start school, so she must wait until next year. Both girls have concerns. Mia is scared to start school without Melise at her side, and Melise is afraid Mia will learn new things and meet new friends, and forget about her.
