"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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq7W8G6Twp
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?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOprPrYqv8
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCWDBjbzLb
"Y/N,"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwf6QdWQjw
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pdPkSiWw1
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VUvVBXIjg
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstHex82kXe
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GhxHb4xun
"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."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjfMKjXFRj
"Used to it?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb0KafmFYi
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?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu2BgdckEG
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuftUX1vh0
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WXg8pbq9U
"Hey," 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82mYWAXiPE
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9xmPaxTAy
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuRz7MEM9T
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR3SMma2RP
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tZJzMerhb
Really close.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohn4atk4PJ
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoinnqlHY5
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."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDFRDFJ5t9
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPH9d9iFnm
...well...514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDcIgaCqUw
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMhHpvlNDs
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wkd8XClOj
"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."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ht5wOd60k
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykYyqpgVIS
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYneXTCtOq
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWikiWsIg1p
Really hard.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh1k4Cmmpo
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!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1WZJnM49B
"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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YQMHwYkT5
"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."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KKvTG2aOv
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVj2qnxa3d
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedvrQ2hoJJ
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTOHTVYgDy
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCokA51H9rA
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."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnepoJDmOjv
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.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8TZPbmp3T
"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...514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0dby53GqW
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."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4NEu93jKz
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?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Og2hpVLrI
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGTwi8RmcD
"Yasmin wait!"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaGxIqgMtp
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6euwwBdiNI
Later after school...514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaw02QvpWJ
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O2nq7oAKj
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZbAqtHYX0
He was shocked. "Why?"514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0uOv8aI71
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk8yvIOsNl
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9C8R5a6pp
"Huh?" I look up.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtCZA6nGF5
"Is your conscience clear?" 514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnxdbTpt4y
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSzulDiXIJ
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRfGbLJY4e
