"Another run-in with the Odango. And today started out so nice, too."

Started out nice, just got nicer.

"Another failed test? Gee, a stick of gum has a higher IQ."

And yet I'm the idiot.

"You're such a crybaby."

I'm such a liar.

"Would you quit wailing? You're breaking my eardrums!"

Quit glaring at me. You're breaking my heart.

"If I could go one day without having to deal with you…"

If I could one day tell you the truth…

"But you were born to pester me, weren't you?"

But I was born to say the wrong things, again and again.

"You're such a ditz, Odango."

I don't mean it. I never do. I would take it back if only I thought I stood a chance…

"Grow up."

Never change.

"And stop running into me."

I would die if you did.

"One of these days you'll give me a concussion."

You're already driving me crazy.

"How come my life was so much simpler before I knew you?"

And so much darker. And so much sadder. And so much harder.

"I don't know how Motoki stands you."

I think I might be in love with you…

"Because you are such a ditz."

It's just that I'm such a liar.
