"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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAhwgO8PQFFl
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?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAw3fZ4e7NvX
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.324Please respect copyright.PENANA92OHYR2wX5
"Y/N,"324Please respect copyright.PENANAK0hjM90xgr
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAhReKW8W4MU
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."324Please respect copyright.PENANAG0UQoDN9vl
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."324Please respect copyright.PENANAIJuwJkGUzC
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."324Please respect copyright.PENANAmBQSbhBMt6
"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."324Please respect copyright.PENANAIOQTIQtSkT
"Used to it?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAKx1WwBrbIU
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?"324Please respect copyright.PENANASVOmnnBpLb
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.324Please respect copyright.PENANACF3vffUY3i
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAodLpt7ppmO
"Hey," 324Please respect copyright.PENANAVXgNuSdXfz
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"324Please respect copyright.PENANA4AyJxwG3vP
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 324Please respect copyright.PENANA9lZMxzwGhG
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.324Please respect copyright.PENANAOUhblBM7Or
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.324Please respect copyright.PENANAb5W7vow07m
Really close.324Please respect copyright.PENANAULD5ezE3yQ
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."324Please respect copyright.PENANAljWmIjzQLx
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."324Please respect copyright.PENANAiIlrJ1048o
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...324Please respect copyright.PENANAfRpJqW387L
...well...324Please respect copyright.PENANAWFq0dNPV0T
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.324Please respect copyright.PENANAmEqRhBk7Cl
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAbrJOkPJDhm
"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."324Please respect copyright.PENANAGrPuTaxCrb
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.324Please respect copyright.PENANAVXQCWdZwrs
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAqvvXmyCz30
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 324Please respect copyright.PENANA20Gl7Id6j9
Really hard.324Please respect copyright.PENANA7wtpwxkePK
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!"324Please respect copyright.PENANAJDiGxWv4Qv
"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.324Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bwlqjf2yg
"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."324Please respect copyright.PENANAdRNI8jwKf9
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.324Please respect copyright.PENANAISyLdfMFOB
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."324Please respect copyright.PENANA1A4U9QPyGr
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"324Please respect copyright.PENANAxZxbS4u0pf
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"324Please respect copyright.PENANATMAzAlX0xY
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."324Please respect copyright.PENANAYV9jywmPJu
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAne7tGKL5dQ
"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...324Please respect copyright.PENANAbkxuO8xs5s
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."324Please respect copyright.PENANA0VCiG6m89j
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?"324Please respect copyright.PENANA47jvI0QM0l
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.324Please respect copyright.PENANA2orVT1BX2t
"Yasmin wait!"324Please respect copyright.PENANAFGE72whSe1
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 324Please respect copyright.PENANAWiwn9d0rYd
Later after school...324Please respect copyright.PENANASizmth2wPA
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.324Please respect copyright.PENANAXTMK5gOhjJ
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.324Please respect copyright.PENANANSe59xJcO9
He was shocked. "Why?"324Please respect copyright.PENANA8KdgIVqMTS
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.324Please respect copyright.PENANAgydZzvG7sP
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 324Please respect copyright.PENANAQD6TjG6ySv
"Huh?" I look up.324Please respect copyright.PENANAtYnob72ytQ
"Is your conscience clear?" 324Please respect copyright.PENANAMC8gvJoWpl
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."324Please respect copyright.PENANAj6ZQBd9F5I
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.324Please respect copyright.PENANAGblJoqVOIW
