"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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR4t5u7zyn
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?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI0svXF5Yt
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTnvAYW3Lp
"Y/N,"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt32JS6llsu
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnVF4H2oc8
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkVkHdpEzt
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEq6ityu4F
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwPTGRWWpg
"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."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcC0jFZu34
"Used to it?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgd5lCVlYM
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?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFypQeMJ02Y
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjADY0ZLE0
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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaabci5AjP
"Hey," 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpEAvyc37e
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqB0cFBGUQ
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5ZdtpBQMb
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacw6BzO2l3
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpYO52gq32
Really close.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA5fgo33nm
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74fuBGoosu
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."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3WNIhQK99
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvnigEBOC5
...well...521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIhFpjfxua
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNPuDzwHz2
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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlTOcvvMLN
"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."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA8a517nYy
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6FcY2uvIu
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IRi3KBDFM
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoxLrTyKoF
Really hard.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw9cVRkvLl
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!"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMIY5oAE1v
"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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV6KsVPO9U
"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."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVuJpHE8ex
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN4DBUB71l
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9rWZRyBnT
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkVgtn10hw
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cZTe6O6ce
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."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSgp1kKcC0
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.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatQpOvaQlA
"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...521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkWVKPBclk
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."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdyBRJ3ncG
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?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xTSz5xBcR
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk73TKKX1Dl
"Yasmin wait!"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CW43VVczd
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq0j5HcPNo
Later after school...521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehTECK6hg4
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp97UuEYYA
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD335fMvOB
He was shocked. "Why?"521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM9RJDToQQ
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vtkfOy7bm
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNtSXXJveO
"Huh?" I look up.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhhDBhSueo
"Is your conscience clear?" 521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1G2HHtWoe
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoBNR73iME
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwg3jVaisk
