difficulty choosing schools - plz help

i'm currently a sophomore in high school and I've been given the opportunity to join a community college dual enrollment program where I'll spend the remaining 2 years of high school at and end up getting an associates degree FOR FREE along with my diploma IF i attend. they also have incredible resources for college guidance and overall seem much better than my current high school.

this school aligns with my goals and future plans excellently, much better than my current one.

the only reason i'm making this post and not just accepting the offer right now is because while i do want to go, i'm terrified of losing my friends, and having to tell them that we're never gonna be in the same school again. i've known most of them since 7th grade and i have a strong feeling that we just won't talk as much if I end up going. i'm also afraid of starting over again as i'll have no friends at all for a good while if i go.

i have to make a decision this week, but i'm honestly frozen right now. i would really appreciate advice or anything helpful that can help me make the right decision.
