"Hey Y/N. What's wrong? You look awful,"
I sigh and look away as he sat down by the Sundae bar staring at me with eyes full of concern.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDre5uhJ6X
But he was right in a way.
I felt awful.
"Say TK, how do you apologize to someone you talked crap behind their back?"
He cocked an eyebrow, "What?"
I gulp, "You see, there's this guy I met the other day. You know, the day I got in trouble with the boss. I met him at the park and in school yesterday, I was talking crap about him to my friends and he overheard it. How can I apologize to him?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQrcDh16yw
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDIirnnIZg
"Y/N,"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qp8ezX6aS
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh6kju9qMr
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu143A8rEU
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8Pw8nJCmI
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOTvZXmbUS
"Listen Y/N, if you are sincerely sorry about talking crap about him then go and apologize to him and get it off your chest. If you don't its going to keep bugging you until you get use to it."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhHA2qf6a1
"Used to it?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK1QewIUls
He chuckled, "What I meant to say is, it going to keep bugging you until you kill your conscience and trust me, nothing is worse than having a dead conscience."
I sigh, "I guess you are right but what if he doesn't want to forgive me?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqznfMj4l2
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqX7tQgoxo
So the next day, I look for the stranger in school and find him at the bleachers. After taking another puff of cigarette (I smoke so sue me), kill it and walk over to him.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmE6MJDxqn
"Hey," 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TkjRbRsZX
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla7zg39KqW
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tpBLxfSjC
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK4A3GsMTr
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkKVfBs9xR
Really close.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEg1odNtID
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYLtLCKYCH
He looked at me for a while before looking away. "Its okay. I get that all the time although, I wasn't expecting that from you."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIOOHAtN06
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xbf10jLAJ
...well...482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWQWNKg0nz
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfePxXjPGoq
I didn't notice I was looking down until I looked up to see his big blue eyes and trust me, they were huge up close. Blushing, I look away and sigh.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPxnPGYFNb
"But's its okay. I guess that's what I get for not introducing myself properly. Its such a pity you don't recognize me either."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkHmrEHaJL
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPsgWmSPar
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARrA9v3Dxf
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq86ydiW5P
Really hard.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQsEnG7Tj7
Where have we met before?
"Umm...did you live in that apartment block next to the beach?"
He frowns for a while then smiles. "Yeah, in the beach in Cauliflower City? I think you were on a vacation during that time."
"That's it! You were that little boy living on the second floor in an apartment complex and I think your name is..." I pause for a moment then snap my fingers, "Peter right?"
He frowns and looks away, "Yeah!"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uc2MOTpxy
"Peter...Peter...Peter King right?"
He nods.
"I can remember there was a little girl with you." I put a hand on my chin. "What's her name again?"
"Sarah. Her name is Sarah," He mutters.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbp695uNcL
"Yeah!" then I looked at him and see the anger in his face. "Oh. I am sorry. I guess I got excited when I remembered you so sudden."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXkNZ3dZfZ
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZqbph491w
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeztSGq2uGC
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjaHkFWWy3
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcYFl0cCsQ
I smile, "Its okay. Its been years and we didn't really introduce ourselves properly. I think I was with my cousin Michael and I haven't seen in in years. He must be in highschool by now."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPJnScfIqE
He rolled his eyes at that. "Yeah. My sister doesn't stop talking about him."
"Oh they are dating?" I ask.
"That's what she's saying," he says with annoyed look on his face.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ToTrYIKc
"What's wrong? Don't you love your sister?"
He looks back at me then give a wry smile. "So, how have you been?"
Wow...482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLvLZMz7JV
He's changing the topic but who am I to judge?
"Yeah. I am okay and I am really sorry about saying all that stuff about you."
He smiled. "So, about that dinner..."
"Hey hold it right there buster. I only came to apologize to you."
A sad look appeared on his face when I said that and I felt like crap again. "I mean, we just met and you want to take me out to dinner?"
He frowns, "Well, you insulted me behind my back and apologized to me. The least you could do is to go out with me."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eDIEPLpeU
Now it was my turn to frown. "Do I need to remind you that you said it was okay because I didn't recognize you after all these time?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojtrx6ZUDo
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQbBOAeFMF
"Yasmin wait!"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNcK0MjnVm
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDsp8ftx8e
Later after school...482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHeUHDcOvj
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuPxYe4DtF
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Mn2Is5S2
He was shocked. "Why?"482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdk49rSHdh
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FAzdqyw6I
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuMQe1vnU4
"Huh?" I look up.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3IivsYVTi
"Is your conscience clear?" 482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkPVIDDigA
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnndJjbpEj
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDgY10fKpZ
