"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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lB1jEg2JG
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?"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKGRbFJzuR
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YKFQ8z9oD
"Y/N,"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZetMTF1P1
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ktBz0mFh2
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZbhe5Eg4I
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JQovkeex1
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9syGPNizDm
"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."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUHGcIlrYj
"Used to it?"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwiWHr9Gwv
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?"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wO4I5SHYl
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjNkD5UloS
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIKt9AG4F5
"Hey," 561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCItNnVJv0
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lcXIn2Cap
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hh0quT90D
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkZxA4M3Kl
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DF9YgcVp2
Really close.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91e3RykhEh
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22AN3F9LA7
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."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ykgM9SIZn
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE03QZaSr7
...well...561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk9tXsKyPg
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMkYQOd6yo
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVv56gDmUJ
"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."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI5cYNRSx9
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpi1l448Mc
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWWP1KWydQ
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwee0rqCsi
Really hard.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmRhQkb0cX
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!"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkuWmCEwtw
"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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQvgDtleNQ
"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."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulqJhLxoQK
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunox6C4nag
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRrASvg29H
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W4gsaUjhk
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ISI9uaJL
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."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsXWswQuFz
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.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqucthFqenZ
"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...561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVZBcheUuI
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."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jxSLCprun
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?"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5A6qBx60R
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyHxLRVfVl
"Yasmin wait!"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGXfQxq4S6
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJtikR4W9O
Later after school...561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7in4fsMhcu
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjYTpFX8Q7
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozRCJEhOto
He was shocked. "Why?"561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6L8gdFOBw
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDB6CfcYjT
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ992wO3d3dZ
"Huh?" I look up.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TBw8e9Vrv
"Is your conscience clear?" 561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAiyzCsTC1
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N7pamij2C
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.561Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RJt4lzWhX
