"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.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAmQeveuIk
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?"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZKU2sbK0w
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmW1bIkuHC
"Y/N,"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKIEALlBrb
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9hN9Kpjfe
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj5oNJRPQM
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡottgl5ey8A
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzVIbTzZC0
"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."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioy7YcBDf2
"Used to it?"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVcSrywmLH
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?"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgFIL7deeu
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqGsZKtw1y
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.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Xt73JQ0g
"Hey," 480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AfKyogyzn
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorxdj2iY4F
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IgfAr2CpU
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Xq62Rmz6
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiC1GCmFA5
Really close.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EpAps3m7j
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqhXtuyiGt
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."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkZLF3iWCu
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHbq4UMBUW
...well...480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft4cRCfjcN
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANrQvD9aLk
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.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPqlKQXgFI
"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."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYvFzkb9bl
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MQTIGRiDS
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUYRcVDozY
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsKmjZWTF6
Really hard.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuqNIn6gUo
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!"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyAczNOW71
"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.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTgJycifPe
"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."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH4CtUuaCW
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly9ZFolAbP
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwACpDlCpA4
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIekWl94tN
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04HkuCjQZ3
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."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pcKQim9vZ
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.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVY6DVhhau
"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...480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda9G7GBrrS
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."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIJ6SwHldg
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?"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4tRSo9EXr
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LprkDSOEO
"Yasmin wait!"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvGnGv4JFL
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANDDBSW6c6
Later after school...480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUwKshHviV
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWF8GeYKVO
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9956GKTRA
He was shocked. "Why?"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9RlPhrYDU
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQTEY7Kbeh
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8hdSCshxg
"Huh?" I look up.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiEiqDoSHv
"Is your conscience clear?" 480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCnHZ6Y4Vj
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tIunD8nr3
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChnagQllr2
