"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.
