"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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46wRqB2N8b
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?"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fqfuVaMMY
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe4yUGOcrD
"Y/N,"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIdyph1rUB
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR8VhJ0eBb
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvaeOnmIbS
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR9Rfbzu94
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFyUkIU11u
"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."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJah3IvvJPx
"Used to it?"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHqkqSc9aA
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?"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtwFK9QIh2
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftkduvpaQr
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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHSsHLHvPy
"Hey," 503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WwqC4rgUl
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w1k229djF
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd01BX9Ud6
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnXUSaV7C6
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdrzb28Wgz
Really close.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMIukgl0so
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetJdXCBvbj
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."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7tSTdJpMY
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSnYa8IPEU
...well...503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxR65CFB1Y
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI3pQZTCLi
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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfplU4UjgN
"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."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXbh25bk0r
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoHbvrIDfS
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81HoCFKx7d
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ8lGQGu0P
Really hard.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBrf2ZQrgE
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!"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgheVy6q5qC
"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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIycH7dmlR
"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."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbkZzX199c
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAf1i8oUuM
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowuGebaljx
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsSX2adgmO
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH74YNhLQOj
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."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC0uQyxhGa
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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSK7GVXhwd
"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...503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBt42WJNWL
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."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhJuTzgpsq
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?"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyeUCB5tbf
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRBi3yQWL8
"Yasmin wait!"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IiP2MbnaF
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDngkXYZMu
Later after school...503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGBPRuktqW
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qNgms7h7D
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6HE0YDnfT
He was shocked. "Why?"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkm2f4IiuZ
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcvXVchkGR
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk9dfXQ5Xw
"Huh?" I look up.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUDMZBNj5h
"Is your conscience clear?" 503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xqyi4ozdk
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXEoy5ncBW
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95lg4LA02a
