"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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJPkX6qW4b
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?"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y171PMvoX
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P2iOfWZtP
"Y/N,"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3TvOlwi0i
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdMY0HfvVE
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9y8ogqXtM
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd0n4HinDQ
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu809ByStM7
"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."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYuWvNg4uq
"Used to it?"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FCS50ZGAe
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?"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwkTQ558yQ
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzaAfzQ85b
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf5Q7mDo2h
"Hey," 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6qqzoZFc4
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjlbY34tsa
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlvFC5Fmqy
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ZnyXwiE9
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dMkka2i4q
Really close.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoxRk3p7Ie
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0ePCcsRSl
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."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dx61uxrpp
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNyX0NB7Xx
...well...481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpsj643CY0
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWzkvOQaUe
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHDlwH8LxF
"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."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI8S1z4qsi
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GFxL9XnUN
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1Rg2JyZ4R
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvZVnNJZgL
Really hard.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqxiQXlhhl
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!"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGfJl8Jp3K
"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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7FkRWEzuM
"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."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQyAmiITD9
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB0uuZLCNY
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJpRZPE5zQ
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUysjcSFpv
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSayNXNuq6
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."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSpeG6LdAe
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.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitbdc0Ps8k
"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...481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw3Y7pSspW
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."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC33BggDv1h
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?"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMKl4ZJnGd
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwFthzy7dZ
"Yasmin wait!"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguwm7k2CAs
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuGpaYy8FO
Later after school...481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTk5tBr0lQ
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI0rOdDDoc
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSbL9MD4Xc
He was shocked. "Why?"481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSjairCKYH
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX22MCuVKBc
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rn60sJa13
"Huh?" I look up.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfstMPm9WE
"Is your conscience clear?" 481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtWEFoBcFC
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFrvar7wmJ
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBezcC3ZE8Z
