XXXVIII: Troublemaker

Hello guys Happy Tuesday....Now for our feature presentation

(Y/n Pov)

Since I met Jagged Stone, the mayor had convinced my father to allow me to take guitar lessons. So, the lessons had taken me away from some of Kitty's section practices, but at least I got out of the house.

So every week or so, depending on Jagged's sequel, I would go to Le Grand Paris; today was one of those days, and for once, Adrien tagged along.

"N/n! Adrien! I'm so glad you're here. But Bob is on his way, so here." Jagged handed me his guitar. "So we'll go over the basics till he gets here." Jagged told us before he turned to Penny, who gave him another guitar.

"Sorry guys, we're swamped today. So you can practice on the couches before Bob gets here as he and Jagged have their meeting. You two can continue practicing." Then her phone rang. "Sorry, I gotta take this."

We practiced for a, but Adrien is not good with stringed instruments. As much as I tried, he didn't get it. Jagged was saved as Bob entered the room, "I found the perfect way to market your new album! Hey! You two are Gabriel's kids, no?" Bob asked us as he passed by, I opened my mouth to say something, but Bob spoke before I could.

"I'll talk with your father. How would you feel about a debut with XY." He told us he didn't even ask. Penny gave us a sad smile before she continued her job, walking and clicking her pen all around the room. Penny had ordered breakfast, so we took a break as she talked to Armand, who had brought us our food.

"Mr. Stone would like his breakfast brought to him on the back of a polar bear. Could you arrange that for me, please?" She asked Armand, who Adrien and I thanked. Armand turned back to Penny as Fang ran across the room.

"Uh... I'll see what I can do, Miss Penny. Will that be all?" Adrien and I nodded as Armand turned to us, and Penny nodded. Armand left the room, and Penny's phone rang again. "Yes, a red-eye flight would be preferable. Jagged's crocodile, Fang, hates flying in the daytime."

"So let's try again," I told Adrien as I stuffed the rest of my breakfast in my mouth. "You okay?" "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I asked Adrien, "You haven't sung since the festival, and I'm kinda scared you'll stop again." I played a few notes on my guitar.

"🎵 When we were here before 🎵 Couldn't look you in the eye 🎵 You're just like an angel 🎵 Your skin makes me cry 🎵 But I'm a creep 🎵 I'm a weirdo What am I doing here? 🎵 I don't belong here, I don't belong 🎵"

I finished the song, "I'm not gonna stop, I just needed a push. Anarka knew that, and I have felt more at peace since then. But baby steps, don't worry."

Adrien smiled. "You have to teach me how to play like that. Did Jaged teach you that?" Adrien asked as he tried to copy my movements. I put my guitar on the table and fixed his fingers. "Lu did," Adrien smirked. "And when will you be seeing him again. You have to return his jacket." I scoffed, "I don't know; Dad's been pushing some projects, so it won't be a surprise if I have to do anything with XY."

Adrien and I suddenly heard yelling; Penny was first to go into Jagged's room, and I followed. As we looked into the room, Jagged stood on the piano while Bob and he threatened each other with soccer balls.

"You want me to be a guest on Rocker Wants a Wife?!" Jagged told Bob as he threw the ball. "There's nothing rock 'n' roll about that show. My fans will never watch it!" "Of course they will, Jagged! This is how marketing works these days." Jagged, then turned to Adrein and me. "Would you watch it?" Adrien and I looked at each other before shaking our heads.

"See, no way! I'm a genuine rock and roller, Bob! A real artist with real talent! I can dig being a guest on a reality show, but it's gotta be music to my ears, you know? Quality!" I noticed Penny stepped out of the room and then came back. "Deal with it, Jagged! You will be a guest on that show whether you like it or not!" Bob therated. "Oh yeah? And how're you gonna make me do that?" Jagged tested, and Penny walked back into the room; she glanced at Adrien and me before hanging up her phone call.
