In the morning…

Mikan laughed cheerfully as she skipped through the hallways, another happy day! She turned a corner… then BUMP!

She crashed into someone.

Yeah, I'm not angry
and no, I'm not upset
it's taken me awhile
but this is what I've learned

Emotional attachment is really not a threat
when I'm simply not concerned

"Watch where you're going Polka-dots"

"Don't call me that!"

"Do you prefer Strawberries then?"

"YOU PERVERT! YOU LOOKED!"

The things that I take on
I soon shrug off

'cause I know no one
will ever be content

"It's not my fault if you can't resist showing them to me"

"ARGHHHH!!!! NATSUME!!!"

so I've given up and now I'm just indifferent

He sniggered and walked away.

"By the way Polka-dots, you're going to be late"

You will laugh at me
like I'm not happy
with anything, any time, anywhere

"NOOOOO!!!!"

and the half of me's all about apathy
and the other half just doesn't care

"I'm sorry I'm late Jinno-sensei…" Mikan gulped. "But you see… I bumped into Natsume then…"

"What are you talking about? Hyuuga is right here!"


I must admit;
all the words you spoke, I hated
cause I don't see just how I can be motivated

I'm left to break a sweat over a dying race
it seems our fate is something we've already embraced

Natsume winks and waves at her.

"NATTTSSSUUUMEEEEEE!!"


Yeah, I'm not angry,
and no, I'm not upset
it's taken me awhile
but this is what I've learned

Emotional attachment is really not a threat
when I'm simply not concerned

Later:

"Natsume! Look at my drawing!" she holds up a drawing of Natsume in his cat mask.

"That's stupid"


You will laugh at me
like I'm not happy
with anything, any time, anywhere

and the half of me's all about apathy
and the other half just doesn't care

"You're so mean Natsume!" Mikan pouts. "But you look really cute in that mask!"

Paper goes up in flames

Yeah, bein' apathetic's a pathetic way to be
(I don't care)
What matters to you does not matter to me
('cause I don't care)

"You Meanie!"

Natsume smirks evilly.

Hair goes up in flames

So take a wild guess
it's like I just couldn't care less
if all the things you find impressive
just blew up and made those messes
that you'll frantically repair

"NATSUME!!!"

"Heh. Did I do that?"


like kissing leopards at the fair
and all the while you're unaware
for this, you really shouldn't care

"I HATE YOU NATSUME!"

but it's so hard to see the reality
that the end will be the end of things
and our hearts are all we get to bring
so let's go ahead and make them worth something

"I Love you too"

You will laugh at me
like I'm not happy
with anything, any time, anywhere

and the half of me's all about apathy
and the other half just doesn't care

She's stunned and her mouth drops open.

"But you've got a really bad taste in underwear. Seriously. Polka-dots, Pandas, strawberries, flowers…" He grins. "Grow up little girl"


You will laugh at me
like I'm not happy
with anything, any time, anywhere
and the half of me's all about apathy
and the other half just doesn't care

"ARRRGHHHHH!!! YOU STUPID PERVERT NATSUME!"


I'm well aware that everything
is a far cry from all right
I'm well aware that all of us
can at times, be too uptight
and possibly, the remedy
is a dose of apathy

Mikan storms away angrily.

"But I still love you little girl…"

You point your finger at you
I'll point mine right back at me


Heh. Did you enjoy? Review please!
