"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.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWgFNf9rhn
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?"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xeaS8eCK3
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9x4EEfMZs
"Y/N,"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJbu9bFTlX
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW5zmoKwGJ
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFqnCch2wr
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2czww9Dxfi
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFLqq0OnPg
"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."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDQNtndc3w
"Used to it?"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNiX3Sj8Sn
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?"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUjw7lBeFX
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIpSFWxWef
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.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH2M3mjVrb
"Hey," 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ93BQ90tOk
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW5vwcPmC0
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp6cEHiaWW
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrnBMXXMXp
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjoZ1jKV96
Really close.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JcrlWExGP
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9K3q9GEeL
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."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vyJtoTfbm
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1PkCbPlS1
...well...485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQt3KD1Dts
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFhMJv4r3C
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.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV4HidFgGr
"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."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo0wQv0cTS
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7puoRimjp
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPuP38q4hg
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCsXhdj1wB
Really hard.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1tTcQ44Eu
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!"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqau23m6n9
"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.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8PA7cZbMX
"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."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oIw6eEO7r
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40BXgQUW3W
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jfBmrTOgS
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyWSjFmAkF
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddNMaCnN5L
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."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNdKW995F9
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.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFiJhcNXqs
"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...485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs1RsfZUvA
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."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCCh8AXYHw
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?"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjVCBUqPVl
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFUx3NWx6a
"Yasmin wait!"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvEMdTBHR1
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN6eUezbPI
Later after school...485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EH7neAHb7
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGp54UPF1Q
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzDFrtxxwm
He was shocked. "Why?"485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q5tSRhPFu
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzPZzaxNNg
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGoNBYupGA
"Huh?" I look up.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYukyYaLQy
"Is your conscience clear?" 485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSQVnLgwfM
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOYFMPXibo
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k8kqBiDWw
