The Secret, Unauthorized, and Absolutely True Journal of Olette

So Kairi announced her big news last night. Here's how it went:
Namine and Kairi got here at about the same time, and we started watching some crappy movies that we love. Halfway through the second movie, Kairi was like, "Time for my big announcement!" She stood up so I paused the movie. "Well, as you both know, Sora and I went back to Destiny Island this summer. When we were there, we discovered that our old friend, Riku, will be moving in with Sora and his family here until he graduates. His parents said all he did after we moved away was mope, and he didn't make any new friends, so it would be better for him to come to Twilight Town. So, we have to make him feel at home!" She finished, and plopped back down on the couch next to Namine.
"Riku, huh?" Namine said. "Nice name." She went back to watching the movie, but I couldn't keep focused. For the first time in a long time, I was interested. A new guy? At Twilight High? I don't think that has ever happened. Even with A.X.13, they at least live in town. People know them, but Riku….. Only Sora and Kairi knew him. Suddenly, this new school year seems like it might be better than I expected.
After that, things went back to the way they always are at our end-of-summer parties. Kairi got a sugar rush, and started running around and doing the most random things while Namine and a quietly sat on the couch, watching the movie and eating our sea-salt ice cream. By the end of the movie Namine and I had finished three sea-salt ice creams each, and Kairi had passed out face-down on the floor, so we decided to call it a night.
