"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.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwLttlctG0
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?"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUfQD0g3YO
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP89Swk2TH
"Y/N,"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYOAbhHeLF
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkvMCbzkaf
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoJ6uJzaHi
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoUHvHvCaF
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGwdzZ0wQu
"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."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaqTFAcNVq
"Used to it?"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ2CM6nCPG
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?"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x0iIkpAil
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoLSRhWHqF
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.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImS1Csfl4u
"Hey," 576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBzg1JAIlM
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAGT1V5JQa
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQoqc1q0jn
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xOoLrvzwK
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqeflEagNX
Really close.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2IJtGpWZD
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUfcxSTz8f
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."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6k3SYGkYs
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQFk5M7KFL
...well...576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgPBr6Xh3h
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbStsabXXGp
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.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLHfMZ1i7R
"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."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM64zWFAwhn
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbGsWoItou
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHcBiBcOTs
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNC8FCuySB
Really hard.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gRMkx6rhN
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!"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC6Et6f1mg
"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.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8eGOyWNSB
"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."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdeEwEDq9o
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQBKD76UgD
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv8L5uS9Ua
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPQPJUWkGG
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmbQCq0xVj
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."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTuBks6FFO
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.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hyT8x3F3u
"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...576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Xb0bfge3
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."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3luVEcRMR2
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?"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt03QUNaW0B
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKrNBByiUi
"Yasmin wait!"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtgCWFn6X0
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BdRZvfPbp
Later after school...576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJS6z7RFdP
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXeL9sOUhc
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDfdv3Z3y0
He was shocked. "Why?"576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkOoFp7A8R
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ge5KQWKOG
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7at7QeLhB
"Huh?" I look up.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pIZfJ3pDm
"Is your conscience clear?" 576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm0xDGfYxp
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVxNWmh24S
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vk3KIBNeD
