***Author's note*** Well... here comes another chapter! Have anyone of you ever wonder who that secretive guy was? So, what are you waiting for? Continue reading to find out.

***The Story*** "MiakaAaAaA!!!!"

"Huh?" said Miaka who is looking slightly lost in thought. "You called, sensei?"

"Miaka, if you continue to daydream, you'll never finish high school till you're 30," said Yui teasingly.

"Yeah right, don't over exaggerate," said Miaka as she placed her head in between her arms on the table.

Yui looked at her best friend with concern before saying, "Forget about him already. He's not worth it after what he did to you. You've got to move on."

Miaka who said nothing was already deep in thought while staring at the board.

********************

"Hello, is this seat taken?"

Miaka looked up to see a very familiar girl before saying out loud in shock, "Minori! What are you doing here?"

"Well, since my dad is now one of the school boards, it would be better if I study in this school. Besides, now I can spend more time with Taka and we could now see each other more often. After all we're just one block away," said Minori with a big smile on her face.

The day surely hadn't gone any better for Miaka. She thought she saw Taka staring at her when he passed by her class on the way to gym but couldn't be too sure about it as Minori is in the same class as her. At lunch, she hardly touched her food, as she felt sick looking at two lovebirds smiling at each other happily while enjoying their meal with friends around them, teasing them about how lovely they both looked.

Taka and Minori had definitely become the hot topic in school. Why wouldn't they be? Both their fathers are members of the school board. They are what people call perfect couple with Taka as the prince charming and Minori as the lovely princess.

*******************

All week long while Miaka was walking along the hallways she would hear students gossiping about how lovely the couple are. How romantic they are when they are together, eating lunch together and going home together. Miaka even wondered if they live in the same house.

By the end of the week, last class during cheer leading, Miaka thought she was going to pass out, as she couldn't take it anymore. Her whole life has been turned upside down since Minori's arrival. She would give almost anything just to be Minori. Why wouldn't she? Minori has one of the cutest and most popular guys in school for a boyfriend. She was just elected captain of the cheerleading squad. Miaka had been dreaming of getting that post since the beginning of the school term. Minori is also becoming one of the popular students in school. She even gets good grades. That was certainly something that Miaka wasn't good at. Besides that, possibly almost every teacher in school is praising Minori about how well she's doing in her studies besides all the extra curricular activities she's been taking.

Miaka felt that she was being shadowed and is feeling left out. But, luckily she had her usual friends who do not try all their might just to be friends with the popular kids to help cheer her up.

********************

Below the shady tree, lying on top of a lovely flower patterned cloth, while listening to the 2 lovebirds at the top branch chirping. Deep in thoughts with all that has happened, she thought, "Would it be better to just give up?"

She took out a book and wrote...

Dear Diary,

Life has never been this complicated. Everything has turned upside down. I want to escape form everything. I want to fly away and be as free as the bird.

I wonder what is Taka doing now? Is he with Minori? How long have they been engaged? Are they living in the same house? Did he really love me? Was he only playing with me? What actually happened?

Everything happened so quickly that I could hardly recall what really happened and why did it happen. I wish there was someone who could answer all my questions.

Yui always tells me to forget about him. I've tried my best but I couldn't. Is this what they call fallen too deep?

How I wish that everything would go back to how it sued to be. To hear Taka's voice on the phone again. To see his face smiling charmingly at me during lunch everyday. To know that there's someone watching over you every now and then.

She stopped writing, looked up into the sky and tears started flowing down her cheeks.

She penned down in her diary...

It's easy to love someone and to be loved but not easy to be loved back by the person you love. It's disappointing to feel that the one you loved seemed so far away even though when he's so near. But it's worse to find out that even though you know that you both love each other, you can never be together.

***Author's note***

Hehee...sorry for the late update. Hope you all like this chapter.

As you can see, in this chapter there's not much excitement, mostly it's about Miaka's feeling on how she feel about everything that's happening in her life (the changes that's happening)

This chapter is pretty sad, don't you think so?

Especially the last part where she wrote about love. I guess it's just what everyone goes thru.

Well, as usual please read and review.
