Chapter Ten
-Luka-
"Folks, we have begun our descent to Paris, France, where the weather is currently sunny at seventy-four degrees. We will be in the gate in about twenty minutes," says a voice over the intercom. Miku and I both smile at each other in excitement and let out squeals. "The flight attendants will now prepare the cabin for arrival. Please fasten your seatbelts and raise your chairs to the upright position. We'd like to thank you for flying with us today," the voice concludes. My face flushes as I let out an excited shiver- but maybe it's just because it's cold on the plane.
"Are you excited?" I ask Miku, keeping my voice low.
"Totally!" she responds with a delightful tilt of her head. I smile back. The flight attendant begins speaking, discussing things like carry-on baggage and tray tables. I watch Miku, squirming in my chair, as she takes her twin tails out and puts them back in so that they look neater.
"Rin," I hear Gumi's voice at a whisper. "When we get there, ask Luka if she's got anything," Gumi says softly. Upon hearing my name, my attention snaps to Gumi and Rin… whose makeup looks completely ruined! Her mascara is practically running down her cheeks… although she looks like she at least attempted to wipe it off her face. I guess she did a decent job trying to fix it. Maybe Gumi helped.
"Luka, snap out of it, we're going!" Miku grins, snapping her fingers in front of my dazed face. Letting out a yawn, I get up and stretch my long arms and legs. I've always been taller than my friends, but I guess that kind of thing is looked up upon when you're a model.
"Luka, did you pack any makeup remover or anything? I hate this stuff," Rin asks me with a sour tone. Shaking my head, I laugh lightly.
"Sure, when we get to our rental house, I'll see what I've got," I tell her. Her face lights up.
"Thank you so much!" Rin sighs, turning around to grab her luggage from the compartment above her head. Miku, Gumi and I all reach up over our heads to do the same.
As we depart from the plane, Gumi, putting on her shades like a superstar, struts down the walkway and into the airport, shouting "Paris here we come!"
