"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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgKywlhJnE
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?"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwEtvaMllz
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44bEaQbq8M
"Y/N,"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp6agxkZNp
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2g0rpc8uM
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuUP8wVJ5A
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdywlMFAah
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bky3I28Yo
"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."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBvYWw6Ao8
"Used to it?"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ632S83GUmv
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?"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDMnhxpS2K
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TY1waaHBg
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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK86qFRITw
"Hey," 584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBiPeqy83O
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYeaNif1oG
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMBWHV7kv7
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdCA9Cd07w
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6cgTJyLbW
Really close.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssSH9g6Q1B
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNFY7D2VZ0
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."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL1Sjz6vA2
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP51a1x7zG
...well...584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z1LEXw6NO
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2DpQ44sxi
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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3HH6kshR9
"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."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb52K0IOP25
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UgUxJoRib
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbWpWbFB1P
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoQBGW1Vj1
Really hard.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyg8AWccAf
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!"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR0G0ZZwyN
"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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVKWWh8L6M
"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."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iynEU7T1N
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENO3VHSRyf
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGicq6CkSg
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsajbEODkj4
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiS8FJEsPC
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."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO3dlP0Xqj
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.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCkL6zlyPs
"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...584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG9OyOHV36
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."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb7wlFLnTc
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?"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt6igxnQao
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOxoHOfeX0
"Yasmin wait!"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObd8wy51Rg
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlvBuxZLuV
Later after school...584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiidyz1kBy0
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OlJurvPUz
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHBYGjOKPb
He was shocked. "Why?"584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbXbtm3fk5
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0mm42GTS4
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9B7GI1aDG
"Huh?" I look up.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5AuA6Fm6c
"Is your conscience clear?" 584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczmXLQcmEB
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLGJqASpED
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmcn07ZTYD
