"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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QEWGBIxWc
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?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6dQmo3fvb
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFpzgA9aGF
"Y/N,"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbntVwkwEI0
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wjoJbj55j
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4iHmAEDlE
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ioxSLrwL0
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgqMs8elIl
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90a4uDy20N
"Used to it?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJpJwaASXn
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?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwcXsap1SJ
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvb2TDZ61L
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl49g6NyQHz
"Hey," 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWSxSTjDqL
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjb1LrxXjh
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYsV9jaqBq
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZvFWmmHXu
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2bvSUsaBQ
Really close.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkhEAwII6G
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZp4UeTCtv
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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML0Je0RS1p
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSdz8AN0gN
...well...433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFCwO17Q2N
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp2C5Y6FXk
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j30ZHZqmO
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZCpjzy8JG
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac9dTZvLi5
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgAz73WXh5
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGZFtdJiaX
Really hard.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLmomyiizp
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!"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnNJ5wVsIr
"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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHxO6F1Njl
"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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPem0Nwnn1W
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPshobj0Ost
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8k8SBWrBb
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdG1ylA4oQ
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX27xbA6HlN
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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCDJ4bc3Eq
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.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPdXeohO3n
"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...433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrduZkY3pFa
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."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7eUf23Ro7
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?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04vGStWqus
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqpFx5i7XT
"Yasmin wait!"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeezlyijYr
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xk4asZ7ES
Later after school...433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwok0Cg2de
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOR60GZyoy
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYEX6OdgWw
He was shocked. "Why?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWWGbelC69
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgMvJDc3tm
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VC4xtBOMk
"Huh?" I look up.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsLcP7Kusn
"Is your conscience clear?" 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmHf1eiK7d
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgTk7PR6cp
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfdBflAk4C
