You're The Music That's Been Playing In My Head: Book 2

Luka Chapter Nineteen

"Have a good day, sir!" I waved goodbye to the sir I just delivered my last pizza to and checked my phone, my shift was over. 

I start to ride back home when I spot the Dupain-Cheng's bakery, and I stop as (y/n) comes to mind. That's when my stomach growls, it was lunchtime. I head inside the bakery and say hello to Mrs. Dupain-Cheng. 

"Is (y/n) here?" 

"Sorry, Luka, you just missed her and the girls; they went to The Palais de Chaillot," Mrs. Cheng answers with that sweet smile of hers.

I nod, ordering a few croissants to go and head to The Palais de Chaillot. When I arrive, I walk around, spotting a few of (y/n)'s friends, including my sister. 

What exactly were they doing? 

Based on the seriousness in their faces, I decided not to interrupt what they were doing and continue my search. I find her sitting on the stairway writing in her music journal. She takes instant notice of me when I sit next to her and questions what I am doing here. 

"I went to the bakery to see if you wanted to go eat lunch with me, but I was told you were here. What are you up to? Writing a new song?" I explain, asking my own question

"Yeah, while listening to the girls go through with their plan to set up Marinette with her crush." 

"Oh? What are they doing?" 

"A very complicated plan, you wanna listen in?" 

I'm offered an earpiece and curious to know what they're doing, so I take it and start to listen in, pulling out my own sketchbook filled with designs for different instruments I planned to make.

I was currently sketching out a violin when (y/n) takes notice. "I didn't know you could draw." 

"Not really, this is more of the start of a blueprint to the next instrument I plan to make." 

"You make instruments?" 

"Yeah, it's what I wanna do once I'm finished with school," I explain with a smile. 

Not many people took an interest in hearing my dream for the future because they found it boring, so having (y/n) take an interest in it is a refreshing change then just talking about it with Juleka and mom.

"That's awesome, have you already made your first instrument?" 

"Yes, it was a guitar, it took me two years to make, but I think it was worth it," She gives me a smile and opens her mouth to ask a question when we both cover our ears as Mari's voice blasts in ours for Rose to go.

"Me?" Rose questions, and we hear Alya sigh at her.

"No! The other rose!" 

We hear Juleka chuckle before hearing her mumble, "Guys, I got a problem." 

"Rose?" 

"Yeah, what?" 

"There's a problem; it's stuck in the grate." 

I give (y/n) a questioning look, silently asking what was going on. 

"She's transporting a no-parking sign. I'm guessing whatever she was using to move it got stuck in the grate." 

I nodded in understanding, but still felt pretty confused. 

Why was she doing this?

Whatever their plan was kept having hiccups as Mylène had to help Juleka carry the sign and get the police officer's attention. My sister did it by using her voice, and I smiled in pride for her as whatever the plan was continued. (y/n) moves to get up, and I look up from my sketchbook to see a mother who had just gotten her baby stroller up the stairs, (y/n) sits back down but keeps an eye on the mother, she was most likely going to come up the stairs we were on as well. I also keep an eye on her just in case she needed more than just (y/n)'s help. Tuning back into what the girls were doing, it seemed the plan had gone south, but they managed to bring it back on track.
