Fall back

Take a look at me

And you'll see I'm for real

Holly had always thought Artemis was so heartless and fake, that there couldn't be a being like him that was that way naturally.

I feel what only I can feel

And if that don't appeal to you

Let me know

And I'll go

'Cuz I flow

Better when my colors show

Artemis didn't really seem to care what people thought of him, and if they didn't like him,whatever.He didn't care to be accepted by anyone.He had only sort of cared what the fairies thought of him...sometimes.

And that's the way it has to be

Honestly

'Cuz creativity could never bloom

In my room

I'd throw it all away before I lie

So don't call me with a compromise

Hang up the phone

I've got a backbone stronger than yours

Artemis was strong emotionally; that was obvious.If Holly was in his shoes she would have started cutting forever ago. But he just dismissed the fact that nobody liked him that much and went on with his life.

If you're trying to turn me into someone else

Its easy to see I'm not down with that

I'm not nobody's fool

If you're trying to turn me into something else

I've seen enough and I'm over that

I'm not nobody's fool

If you wanna bring me down

Go ahead and try

Go ahead and try

You couldn't shift Artemis-he was set in his ways. You couldn't force him to be someone different; he was the only one who could do that. All the things he had been through had made him decide to change ever so slightly. That was one of the few things about him Holly admired.

You don't know

You think you know me like yourself

But I fear

That you're only telling me what I wanna hear

But do you give a damn

Understand

That I can't not be what I am

That was definitely him-'I am what I am, and nobody of inferior intelligence can change that' was a bit how Artemis was.

I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon

Its not a simple hearing but not so soon

I might've fallen for that when I was fourteen

And a little more green

But its amazing what a couple of years can mean

Over the space of about a year he had changed-no longer the evil fake. This was the Artemis Holly-wait. She didn't like Artemis-right? She was the great Captain Holly Short-not the one to fall for some dumb Mud Boy...right?

Go ahead and try

Yep, go ahead and try. Holly rolled her eyes.He was really stubborn,too. But she respected that-it was one of the few ways they were alike.

Go ahead and try

Try and look me in the eye

But you'll never see inside

Until you realize, realize

Things are trying to settle down

Just try to figure out

Exactly what I'm about

If its with or without you

I don't need you doubting me

It was nearly impossible to figure out Artemis.He was determined, very much so, plus he often put his schemes before people...usually.He had saved her in Russia, had the fairies rescue his father, and had also endangered all of them in the schemes. Holly didn't bother to figure him out or think it through-she didn't need a migraine right now.

Holly had to admit it-he was a strange but amazing person. That was why she-dammit! she didn't like him, she didn't like him, she didn't like him-oh, screw this, she cared about him. She really did. Why this was, she wasn't sure. She had finished the first step-she admitted it to herself. She decided to think about it more later. She switched off her CD player and left to the LEP station.
