"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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SpiavAyT7
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?"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtfJQPVvZs
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7glnhiSIcY
"Y/N,"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90BgSXcUiE
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FNeukna0B
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5kvHGti3T
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAWY69OLLc
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp5E8IzSbM
"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."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGmNQGWE3t
"Used to it?"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehScp0W5Qp
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?"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wRgZ9hhiL
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQeRbkwLil
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmrHmegmjm
"Hey," 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY4BmcUeoE
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jbVgG0s5x
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0zMQ33bPK
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78N2LpJnwO
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsya3cSP36w
Really close.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY4sNPeGA4
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7pweSfUug
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."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxEDyMbOYH
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy1xL7E9aB
...well...425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBQq6UdrZp
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCnMOZ239g
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkKuTlZTSt
"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."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmeFIUYe8Y
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iTCkhMity
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm6T2eIlHg
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2q6NMn8It
Really hard.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YOVKITfN6
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!"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JUgzGaWmx
"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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbbYxgZQiH
"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."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1KD2pmCc5
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYJT2QCzAg
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG12PxU2JFh
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l7uJP7hoa
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUWONEf772
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."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyaw2mXtvK
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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnPSqQ767H
"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...425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrRl5WjndL
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."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sXinP9d5M
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?"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE21JoiP1LH
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc61C8xrc3
"Yasmin wait!"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU7AWpdd4g
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6vvBrDRWx
Later after school...425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh6wAINv7j
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU2TTFEYr0
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMNRDzQZxy
He was shocked. "Why?"425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBzZhbRQku
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PW5JF03a4
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhUEoVS8sl
"Huh?" I look up.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwusUiHK3M0
"Is your conscience clear?" 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEaB67aW5s
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl4D8OXS3s
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZhGH2WfLk
