Chapter 2

RING! RING! RING! His phone rang.

"Hello?" Natsume was curious as to why he was called.

"Natsume? This is Luna. Your grandmother is at the hospital under my uncle's care. You need to be here right away." Natsume, shocked, ran to the hospital to see his

grandmother laying in a bed, breathing heavily.

"Grandma?" He whispered

He turned and saw Luna's uncle "What's wrong with my Grandma?" He demanded Luna's uncle to tell him about his Grandmother.

"Calm down first." Luna's uncle exclaimed

"I won't calm down until you tell me what's wrong with her." Natsume reasoned.

"Luna." Luna's uncle called on her

"Natsume. Let's go outside first." Luna tried to calm Natsume down

Natsume clenched his fist and followed Luna. They went at the garden part of the hospital.

"Can you now tell me what happened?" Natsume is not shocked anymore.

"Your grandmother was on her way to the grocery store. On her way to the store, she suffered from a mild heat stroke and was taken to the hospital." Luna explained

"I told her I'm the one to do those things for her." Natsume whispered to himself

"Don't worry. She's now okay and just needs to rest for a day." Luna assured Natsume

SECRETLY INLOVE WITH YOU

Mikan was looking at her phone all day, waiting for Natsume to call her.

"Natsume. You told me you would call me." She told herself

"But then, he would just tell me I'm annoying him." She continued

"Why don't I just call him instead?" She made an option

"If he don't call me, we'll still see each other tomorrow." She was arguing with herself

He pushed the button to call Natsume.

*toot* *toot *toot*

"Argh. No. I'll just wait for him to call me." She said

"But still." Mikan laid in her bed and let go of her phone

RING! RING! RING!

Mikan immeditely picked up her phone

"Why are you calling only now?" Mikan was a bit mad

"I'm sorry. I was busy all week, Mikan." A voice from the other line told her

"Eh. Err. Ruka?" Mikan was not sure who the person on the other line is

"Are you waiting for another call? I'm sorry. I'll just talk to you another time, then." Ruka was about to hang up

"NO! Uhh. It's okay. Why'd you call?" Mikan wanted to know his reason of calling her

"Uhh. Well I'm. Nothing. Just wanted to make sure you're okay." Ruka explained

"Oh. Well, I'm doing fine." Mikan didn't want to make him worry

"Well then. Bye!" Ruka hang up

"What was that about?" Mikan was surprised and closed her eyes forgetting about calling Natsume

SECRETLY INLOVE WITH YOU

Natsume went to bed full of Luna in his thoughts.

"Luna's.. pretty." He thought

SECRETLY INLOVE WITH YOU

Next morning, on Narumi's class

"Ohayou! Starting from today, you will be having a new classmate." Narumi cheerfully announced

"Come in." Natsume told the new student.

The new student with blonde hair and blue eyes came in. As he was slowly tilting his head for everyone to see, Mikan realized who the new student is.

"Ruka!" Mikan whispered

"Ohayou. I'm Ruka. Nice to meet you all." Ruka greeted everyone with a smile

"KYAA~" The girls in the class melted except Hotaru, Luna, and Mikan

"Looks like someone who can be rivals with Natsume." Luna thought with an evil smile on her face

"You can seat where you want to be." Narumi told Ruka

Ruka looked for a good place to seat and walked into Mikan's direction

"Can I sit next to you?" Ruka asked Mikan

"Uhh. Sure." Mikan nodded

Natsume turned his head to see Mikan and Ruka happily sharing a conversation.

"What's their relationship?" Natsume asked himself "No. I shouldn't mind other people's business." Natsume reminded himself

SECRETLY INLOVE WITH YOU

After dismissal, Ruka and Mikan was walking outside school together.

"Ruka. You suprised me! You didn't tell me you would come back after how many years!" Mikan happy to see her old friend back.

"Well. I wanted to tell you but I really wanted to surprise you." Ruka told Mikan

"Is that why you made that call yesterday?" Mikan realized Ruka called her yesterday

"Mm." Ruka nodded

"Natsume!" Luna called his name

"Want to go together?" Luna offered

"Sure." Natsume smiled brightly

Mikan's POV

It's nice to see Natsume smile so brightly but the reason of his smile is not me. I always knew Luna was his type of girl. I wanted him to look at me at least once.
Whenever we're together, he always look at Luna. Does he not know how much I love him? Or maybe he always knew but still kept on pretending he doesn't. Should I stop? If he turns his back and looks at me, I will keep on loving him but if he doesn't, maybe I should stop.

END OF POV

"Turn around. Natsume, Turn around." Mikan was just looking at Natsume forgetting about Ruka.

"Mikan? Are you alright?" Ruka asked

"Mm." Mikan nodded

"Maybe I should stop." Mikan thought carrying a sad expression

"Let's go to that ice cream store we always go to when we we're young." Ruka told her

"Should we?" Mikan smiled

Mikan looked at Natsume and saw him walking only looking at Luna.

"Come on!" Ruka held Mikan's hand and ran to the ice cream store.

"Why don't you let Mikan come join us?" Luna suggested

Natsume turned around and saw Mikan and Ruka together. "She has other places to go to."

Natsume and Luna walked on the way to the hospital

SECRETLY INLOVE WITH YOU

On Mikan's way home, Ruka accompanied him. Near the playground where Natsume's house is near, they saw Natsume and Luna together. Ruka looked at what Mikan was looking. Natsume was about to kiss Luna when Ruka covered Mikan's eyes, turned her aroung and hugged her.

"Thanks for today." Natsume told Luna and kissed her on her forehead. Luna blushed. They didn't notice Mikan and Ruka at the scene.

Mikan's tears fell as Ruka was covering her eyes.
