"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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaCWx7mmMt
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?"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOFBFXfk64
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwry5HyNRuk
"Y/N,"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUX2Qa2h3b
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhEITWlGAV
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggBhJxTvXL
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBYppuGvf5
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N085cnaGt
"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."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKBVYBh7o5
"Used to it?"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU4P5wa0F4
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?"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NjxB8J6Fl
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbvmzGQzUC
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhesjXjT2h
"Hey," 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHevApbI4TH
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdzcEhS9Tx
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXzyeIDvnH
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3cfpvVGvG
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsG2WB3z8b
Really close.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Fhbwca8K
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jjf4CHEZM
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."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsifxKXoM9V
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOE3hMJvpZ
...well...459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXJ9E9VFU9
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiJeqIOOtT
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ikBrceE6
"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."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdUtWZUYe4
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ChjgOymmu
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ5enbCoRw
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty7lDVJvHk
Really hard.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrlP0hsdus
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!"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5EzqmKDXG
"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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7If70lnSKC
"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."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzeL2ix3X1
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G1eboxM1p
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdgA8DWZIb
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi5gdLbL00
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhblTi2UsH
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."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdKKwP0NKq
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oFFUYyEtw
"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...459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefo43XvQIC
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."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxRJGHiP8L
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?"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLoDaFqM8N
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ0Zy83NVx
"Yasmin wait!"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSif8GT77hC
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8cQkF2zv3
Later after school...459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqzx18fK2L
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2btVDgnNDC
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TvmupzBRP
He was shocked. "Why?"459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xyWpefWzP
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVNZ3oYRg9
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPDsi7Odto
"Huh?" I look up.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwGaH1AISf
"Is your conscience clear?" 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAQgGnlQq0
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lHCYJ4QOt
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6vDIdaVcS
