"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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV10c5Wk8n
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?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5HimPi7tY
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT53FQ5GM33
"Y/N,"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckMvAt78nb
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSltkP8xZun
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc6row8Dxm
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB225fuiVbr
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Ak1XH8tK
"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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Gc71kpik
"Used to it?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuM9MEvSfX
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?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3RdZWd28y
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zyVhnfpmz
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee3jkZY6SN
"Hey," 479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZzSvi1DQP
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUZXhKLG6v
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjR1hI0w3G
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ094Cb4vEfD
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAqSYdlTe5
Really close.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qSMa3duQc
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoznqb3nUyo
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GqIuhdtpA
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfonv4YZQ5J
...well...479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqitWb4Nc5
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpZn4I95Av
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy7hd4uE3I
"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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPtYfvhPe8
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGoP68IAbZ
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRwNnbYauJ
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPf4o6FqOO
Really hard.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknJhRlArwG
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!"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2q7dR1bTR
"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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTpoRzNvlP
"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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzYJJrQ5q2
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH2IX3GeRy
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cwKJNYIfd
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1VIODQI1M
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELemFzjSYD
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewdu54fqVF
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.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ0NzFCJJU
"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...479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIo4GuVXjk
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."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjlbxwX9QI
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?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA8Zv72nye
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8A8oZKbyh
"Yasmin wait!"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR3FgEfxnv
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKXqfDWeJI
Later after school...479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk24JLvsqpt
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOGANzUQFi
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsLM7C5NBN
He was shocked. "Why?"479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdTeVMK58e
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7iFmnz7Xg
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuruKE6L1WD
"Huh?" I look up.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN7bzvx45s
"Is your conscience clear?" 479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqPftkYHI8
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS38iEjQy5
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrDBemzHN9
