"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.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNsVTUB77l
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?"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeNJCtCNwi
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd1OdOH2U6
"Y/N,"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMImHcIAAj0
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Q3VyMrkB
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6r6fu8Ha7
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYgU2oo7mL
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfwW7Du1Z8
"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."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEHnHoX86j
"Used to it?"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkquQIZTDGJ
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?"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWQtOR7And
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkPrpy0isU
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.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3xky2VBzk
"Hey," 522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbdr0J42IV
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cSpXW6ceJ
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vwkyU6Tag
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE736JMQmpq
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kl3OIKrYu
Really close.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9keCQn51vF
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv8v6n4AKH
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."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4ccJiaVOo
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZoEUE2hnH
...well...522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6co1mJs3I5
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWzzNDWFEA
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.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQb23yqADd
"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."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEzk80oJdT
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAUERGO3Ir
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOZpDNYSUU
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3CkUz3rYC
Really hard.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyLswWSgmc
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!"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8uZIarPqe
"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.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkmWHpcrka
"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."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrt8b1YQpA
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytrdPwcKQ2
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGRqptkuFB
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa2HWkXCNR
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ2uMmhHJ8
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."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX30E3G2OV
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.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhayxd1nEV
"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...522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlQw36grCx
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."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK5faiXPIh
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?"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsSfn3faYA
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TOHLeT35n
"Yasmin wait!"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrekHdwCMx5
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3gvn9Kaip
Later after school...522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpyuNeZkkJ
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy0ydReVKR
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKmGlmOgG9
He was shocked. "Why?"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VewxGmS10
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8e7Bgtxb1
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo5gPHtya3
"Huh?" I look up.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvziVEpQUcN
"Is your conscience clear?" 522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgn1IozjCS
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ofRmN3W5
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKzZtM0f4P
