"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.816Please respect copyright.PENANAAcnd8JaMuA
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?"816Please respect copyright.PENANAjCe5GJc0Dy
The pissed off look on TK's face said it all and my heart sank.
Yep.
I am a terrible person.816Please respect copyright.PENANAPXpL5flFrV
"Y/N,"816Please respect copyright.PENANAt0JXjkTcqC
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel sorry?"816Please respect copyright.PENANA33ZO6WVgfm
I quickly look away. "Worse than sorry. I feel like I am a piece of crap right now."816Please respect copyright.PENANAGEr1xKsz8I
"If you feel that way, then go and apologize to him."816Please respect copyright.PENANARvgBTSadRi
I narrow my eyes, "Well, that was blunt."816Please respect copyright.PENANAAWWTRPlqC6
"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."816Please respect copyright.PENANAC1tB9wicFA
"Used to it?"816Please respect copyright.PENANAKgIWnl3xuu
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?"816Please respect copyright.PENANAgbfXmTYjCT
At this, TK looked at me and gave another shrug making me groan again.
Thanks for the advice pal.816Please respect copyright.PENANAUY5rMSPGVM
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.816Please respect copyright.PENANA7r7sg7x1bp
"Hey," 816Please respect copyright.PENANAFTonf3jfpQ
He looked up and started blushing. "Hey,"816Please respect copyright.PENANAUqzpXUUaTO
I move from one foot to another looking to the left then to the right. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAFZCfNeL4ZN
"Do you want to sit down? You look tired," he says.816Please respect copyright.PENANAPJhITdTMaq
Surprised by this burst of confidence, I nod and sit next to him and he scooches close to me.816Please respect copyright.PENANA2nuKkL0dGo
Really close.816Please respect copyright.PENANAwu9ecRcvSB
"So...about that day," I begin. "Look, I am so sorry for calling you a creep. Really, I am."816Please respect copyright.PENANAN02PlLJobH
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."816Please respect copyright.PENANAtnOdEUZjkn
Shit! I gave him a bad impression about me! Normally, I won't bother myself with something like this but after insulting him...816Please respect copyright.PENANAZAM1S3oKhG
...well...816Please respect copyright.PENANAdmR3YdTMs4
I guess I did give him a bad impression about me.816Please respect copyright.PENANAQvT473cGh1
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.816Please respect copyright.PENANA7tHjGijvfH
"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."816Please respect copyright.PENANASZmwqrzZab
"Wait what?" I ask looking back at him and he grinned.816Please respect copyright.PENANAELCoxLDLLF
"Yasmin? Do you remember me?"816Please respect copyright.PENANA4GUmy7qUjK
Confusion was written all over my face and I think hard. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAOc5sGfII0P
Really hard.816Please respect copyright.PENANAEjKCwNz2w6
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!"816Please respect copyright.PENANASQl0eHldct
"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.816Please respect copyright.PENANAcca7Qp559b
"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."816Please respect copyright.PENANA6TROK9ykQI
"Yeah. Apparently it took you a long time to remember me," he muttered.816Please respect copyright.PENANAC0SyCIZNBS
I frown. "Peter, that was like years ago and I was only six years old then."816Please respect copyright.PENANAGguOD72HR0
He looked at me in shock, "I thought you were ten."
I shake my head. "Six,"816Please respect copyright.PENANAXYcuFKYDFU
"Oh," he looks away, "I'm sorry,"816Please respect copyright.PENANAd1UhR4lNNF
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."816Please respect copyright.PENANAq7tcvigGaQ
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.816Please respect copyright.PENANAlKlcHuJogA
"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...816Please respect copyright.PENANAgugTK5oQ1Z
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."816Please respect copyright.PENANAlofm3RoM19
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?"816Please respect copyright.PENANArCcxvAukk0
His eyes widen and his pupil dilate at that but I had enough. Standing up, I dust myself and leave without another word.816Please respect copyright.PENANA8OjdFhkV5G
"Yasmin wait!"816Please respect copyright.PENANAvfycvfjt7W
But I ignored him and walked into the building. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAPiWT8122ZC
Later after school...816Please respect copyright.PENANAUEA6wkbVMz
"So...how did it go?" TK asked.816Please respect copyright.PENANAAaVg6ecX3s
"Ridiculous." I snap wiping down the table.816Please respect copyright.PENANAbMizZAMbeS
He was shocked. "Why?"816Please respect copyright.PENANAOTJkl8sTsB
"He was trying to guilt trip me into going out with him. I mean who does that?" I ask.816Please respect copyright.PENANAKs6tQ07R8x
He looked at me with wide eyes and sighed. "Well do you feel better?" 816Please respect copyright.PENANAVYlphpyCHP
"Huh?" I look up.816Please respect copyright.PENANApHkUIZkvgy
"Is your conscience clear?" 816Please respect copyright.PENANApQzvAD7FiL
It takes me a while for the comment to sink in. "Yeah. Except my conscience is pissed instead of guilt."816Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q82de2Ih6
TK gave me a warm smile and walked back to the kitchen.816Please respect copyright.PENANA6k3VIGoOHW
