"We can't tell you anything yet," Riku said. There must've been a curious look on my face for Riku smirked. He does that as often as I whine. Which is a lot.
"Well, we can tell you one thing," Kairi started. As much as I was angry with them both for keeping a secret and excluding me from it, my curiosity was ebbing away at my sanity. Which is in little supply.
"Yeah?" I said, feigning disinterest.
"Oh, well if you don't find it that interesting then we won't tell you," Riku always saw right through me. Of course it probably doesn't help that I'm not a very good liar.
"But!" I started when Kairi giggled and cut me off.
"No, Riku's right," she said. Of course he is. He's your boyfriend, I thought sarcastically.
"So are either of you going to tell me?" I asked, accidentally letting a hint of pleading into my voice. I've always been a sucker for secrets.
"I don't know," Riku drawled. "What will you do for us?"
"Riku…Kairi…" I whined. Yet again.
"Well, seeing as I am nicer than Riku is, I'll tell you."
My countenance must have lit up in excitement for then Kairi said, "Sure, I'll tell you. Later." Then she grinned and went out of the room with Riku in tow, leaving me in the hideously decorated monkey room.
"Think, think, think," I muttered, tapping my fisted hand on my head. It was a habit I had abducted from my friend Winnie.
After Riku and Kairi had left, I had time to re-evaluate my relationships with them. Which I did a lot. However it never helped.
There was Kairi. The girl I had a crush on since forever was going out with my best friend. Worse still, my best friend only went after her cause he knew I liked her. For the last year I have been classed as the third wheel. For anyone whose experienced life as the third wheel, you would know that it sucks. It really really sucks. As I thought over and relayed the day's events in my mind, a thought occurred to me. Why was I even friends with them? Riku had done nothing but hurt me, and Kairi was a skanky girl who only got with guys for all the wrong reasons. She had no brain. She's an airhead. Riku is an arrogant jerk who likes to make my life miserable. I'm a whiny, annoying wuss. Why do we all have such demented personalities? Its' no wonder we have no other friends. Maybe it'd just be better if I could start fresh somewhere else. I wish.
I stopped thinking and went home.
"Sora?" My mum called from the kitchen as I stepped through the front door.
"Yeah?" I asked her as I walked through the lounge room.
"I have some great news! We're moving to Twilight Town!"
Memo to self: Be careful what you wish for.
"Sora!" My mum called for the fifth time that day. I glanced around my room, taking in the bareness on the walls and the junk filled boxes that lay scattered on the floor. I wiped my forehead with the back of my hand. Moving was hard work. Trotting down the stairs I noticed I had some visitors.
"Hey guys," I said. Somehow, even after all the friendship crimes they had committed, it still hurt to know that I was leaving Kairi and Riku.
"Hey Sora," they chorused sadly. I guess they felt the same.
"We just wanted to say goodbye," Riku said aloofly. He was never good at conveying emotions.
"Well," I rubbed the back of my head, trying to think of what to say to avoid the awkward silence. "Bye then."
Kairi lunged forwards and hugged me. Riku just nodded.
"See you around then," Riku said and walked out.
"Bye," Kairi whispered.
