Luka

She really didn't seem at ease to be talking to everyone on that table. I know how hard it must be for her. I haven't talked to her that much but I can still see how tense she is and the stiffness of her body. Although I understood how she must be feeling, I feel like I don't really have the right to say that I know exactly how it is.

I have been accepted pretty easily when I came here by those amazing people sitting on that table and even if Adrien is a bit bitter about my past love for Marinette, I know that we're still friends. So how can I say I understood her? She knew them longer then I did, even though it wasn't in the right circumstances.

She seemed to struggle when she met Kagami's cold glare. I mean she's not wrong honestly. Kagami can really seam intimidating sometimes but she's been working on that those last years. We would call each other sensei which means "teacher" in Japanese. I would teach her how to socialize and Venice to people and she taught the bit of Japanese I know. Our friendship had really blossomed those last years and we really became close. But I guess it only stopped there although occasionally people would compare us to the Adrinette couple here and there saying that we are clearly ment for each other and that we were just too ind to see it. Especially Rose. She thinks we look "so cute and romantic together". And I must admit, Kagami is really a pretty girl. She is really king and once you break that sheep of hers she's as sweet and soft as honey. But I've never seen her in that way. I'd rather stay up at night laughing and cuddling on a roof gazing at the stars than go on dates at cafes and do all that lovey do et stuff couples do.

Two hours later:

Finally after hours of chatting giggling and laughing, what I like to call the "hero squad" (and Sabrina) decided it was time to leave. I had to suffer watching them from afar and holding myself to not go and just sit down joining the conversation, since I still had my shift. They bid them self's goodbye and before walking out of the door thanked me and Maude for the service, Kagami pilling me to talk for a moment.

-Luka, I'm sorry I won't be able to assist you tonight... My mother has a dinner with someone important and wants me to join them. Sorry for turning you in like this I-

I cut her off, a warm smile plastered on my face.

-That's fine Kagami! You don't need to worry. I'll just bring my guitar of something. You enjoy the time you have with you mom and relax for one.

-I'm not sure relaxing is the best term with that old woman.

She grumbled, which caused me to burst out laughing. Let's say her relationship with her mother isn't the best one and it needs to be worked on. But that's fine, for now.

She bid me goodbye after engulfed me in a warm hug and left the caffe, accompanied you the others. I signed, finally able to take a breath after all the noise that they were doing. I glanced at the table, taking the stuff I needed to clean it up and grow the cups away when I saw Chloe still sitting there, holding her phone, an annoyed expression on her face. Judging it was fine to go and talk to her and hoping I won't be pissing her off even more, I approached the table and started my cleaning.

Almost emmidiatly she flinched and looked at me, exhaling lightly as she saw it was only me. I smiled at her, hoping to ease the overwhelming tention I was trying to ignore. She smiled back at me in a bit of an awkward way and canceled the call she was making. I could only catch a glimpse of the contact name she was calling wich read « Nam » something.

-So, you're staying here alone?

I tried engaging a conversation. To be honest I really sont know why I'm doing all of this, trying to be her friend. It might seem to be just something to seem polite but I'm really trying to break her shell here - even though she won't let me witch is kind of normal since she only came here two days ago. Maybe it's because her and Sabrina are such close friends and that I want to try and know her better. Or was it just me feeling sort of attacked toward her because I feel that she has something unique in her. Whatever that is, I promised myself that I'll manage to be her friend. I don't really know when that promise was made, the first time I saw her, that time in the closet of just by hearing Sabrina talk about her.

-Oh n-no I'm just waiting for Sabrina to come out of the restroom...

She said looking down. I don't really like it when she does that. She doesn't believe that she is capable of talking normally and lacks confidence. But I chuckled nonetheless.

-Okay...

I smiled, awkwardly this time and narrowed my eyes across the room, searching of anything that might help continue this conversation while pressing my lips together.

-Erm... Do you... would you like to hangout together later? You know we could go star gaze like I told you the last time.

Her eyes widened at the mention of our last encounter. I guess she was still kind of embarrassed of the circumstances we met in and that amused me even more.

-I...

She hesitated for a moment. So I nodded my head while fixing my eyes on her trying to look as friendly as possible.

-I mean sure if you really want to... I don't want to be a bother thought so if you're doing this out of kindness it's fine you really donc have to I can spend the night alo-

I cut her in the middle of her rambling and boy does she need to boost that self confidence of hers. Sabrina told me she used to be really cocky thought..

-Well if it works for you, we can meet next to the Louvre pyramid and go stargazing.

She smiled at me and nodded.

-Sure..

-Oh hey Luka! Sorry but we have to go now. Chloe?

She got up and dusted her pants them they thanked me bother and went on their way.

I huffed. I still had three hours left and I could go home. Ugh...
