Chapter 2

" I propose a plan " Hotaru smirked quite into this, and Mikan raised a brow. She saw money signs glinting on Hotaru's Eyes so she guessed it was business/money related..

" Ok, Lets hear it first before I agree to something stupid " She wanted to confirm what her evil-minded friend had in mind . She can't risk agreeing to her immedietly.. last time she was in on Hotaru's plan without knowing, Let's just say it wasn't what she had in mind.

" Don't worry, you wont be in it alone, I had the others agree too. "

" I still want to hear it " She said, when talking business with Hotaru Imai, You need to be aware in everything she has to say or else , if you miss one thing out, she could use this for blackmailing processes.

"It's a plan I would like to call... Valentine Serenade. Since its sweethearts month and everybody is all LOVEY-DOVEY "she said that in sarcastic way." Dont'cha think its boring using the same tradition every year? just plain chocolates and confessing.. Why don't we make it a little grander, and be messengers of love or simply cupids for people who can't confess directly and to couples who would Like a little enjoyment in their life. " Hotaru said in a way a business woman would like to hold a meeting to impress her Boss.

"Valentine Serenade? What would we do? Just sing songs according to the customers to their love ones? how could this possibly get my Mind off sempai? "She wanted the true motive.. She can't understand why this would make her happy.. it would just make her sadder to think she was one of those hopeless girls who can't even bring out he courage to confess and now the result, She got hurt.

" Just think of it this way, you're a musician right? You like to write songs.. In doing this you could actually improve your talent, by getting preoccupied at something, something you love, you could Little by little forget... I'm not saying this is to forget completely, It's just for you to refresh yourself. and You'd be getting you're share of the money if you do this..

Mikan thought of this for a while.. Get preoccupied, huh. Maybe this could work. Maybe just maybe it would be fun.. she really need to think of something else rather than sempai but..

" I- I dont know Hot-" Hotaru covered her mouth and stared at her with her emotionless face, her usual face. " You WON'T refuse this.. Mikan, it's about time you did something for yourself.. Move on.. Nothing can be get by dwelling on your past; You need to think positive for the future! I mean, the reason why you are miserable is that you think too much about it Mikan. You are the one allowing yourself to be miserable! "This is actually the first time Hotaru such a long speech to Mikan. She sounded a bit angry too,

Hotaru was right, Mikan was the one allowing herself to be miserable.. She really need to change and Hotaru was helping her..

Mikan broke down again and hugged Hotaru.. " You're right! Why am I doing this! I shouldn't be miserable! If sempai found someone to make him happy, I can find my own too! It's no use crying over spilled milk! " Mikan finally wiped the remaining tear in her eye " Ok, I'm in "

Hotaru smiled a little " It's nice that you would finally understand, I know it's not going to be easy, but there's no harm in trying right?" she patted her head

" Un " Mikan nodded.

" Oh by the way, what was that letter earlier? before I gave you my note? " Upon hearing this, Mikan was a wide-eyed " Shimata! ( Darn it ), I forgot about that! " Mikan stood up an ran outside the greenhouse but not before saying goodbye to Hotaru " You eat your lunch first! and maybe go ahead, there's something I forgot to do! " she said in a hurried state.. Hotaru just stared at the brunettes retreating figure and raised a brow..

' Nande, sore ( what was that ) '

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mikan ran as fast as she could to an appointed place, How could she forget? She ran to the back of the gym and as she arrived there, She panted and tried to catch her breath.. She looked around, no sign of a person..

' I guess hes not here yet ' she thought. so she waited patiently for the owner of the letter to arrive.

The letter she got earlier seems to be a love-letter and it specifically says that he wanted to meet her in person. of course she already knows that it is a confession, She's not that dense ( XD In this story Mikan is a little bit mature now ^^ ). I mean, It's not the first letter she got anyway. She gets many confessions, And she feels she needs to properly face them to turn them down, She values confessions for she knows it is hard herself.

She heard footsteps coming closer so she turned around , and she saw a pretty bishounen Boy..

He had blonde hair and Beautiful feep cerulian eyes that could drown you anytime sooner, But Mikan had eyes for her Sempai, which she would like to forget.

" Kore wa anata no tegami desho? ( this your letter, right? ) " she asked

" Hai, it-its mine, Boku no namae, Ruka Nogi desu ( My name is Ruka Nogi ) " he was blushing and stuttering which looked cute.. " A-ano sa.. Sakura-san ...eto, tada.. e-eto " he really was nervous because he can't find the right words. Mikan wanted him to finish first before she could turn him down properly... he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly..

" I.." he started, " I have been observing you for a long time Sakura-san... You're smile is alluring and the way you ... you do everything is so cute.. and , and I.. I find it very appealing! So I just want to say this without regrets! I-I LIKE YOU SAKURA-SAN! and I hope I could have a chance with you! " After Ruka had finished blabbering, Mikan smiled a little, but was sad inside. She had fooled another person with her mask, she can't accept his feelings when he likes the fake Mikan..

" Listen Nogi-kun, I appreciate and thank you for the feelings.. but, I don't think I can ever return your feelings.. " Ruka wanted to protest but Mikan made a hand signal to let her finish . " I can go out with you, But it's just really like that.. You can only get hurt because I can't return your feelings, And I don't really like hurting people.."

" But we can try right? how would you really know? Maybe.. Just maybe I can change Your feelings , I really like you Sakura-san. "

" I really doubt that Nogi-kun.. you see, I am already In love with somebody else. " she said lowly. Ruka seeing this expression doesn't know how to react.. " But I really thank you for the confession, I know it's really hard, You need courage to do that.. I don't want to hurt your feelings Nogi-kun.. That's why.. I hope we can just stay as friends.."

Ruka sighed and then smiled lowly.. " Thank you for hearing my confession Sakura-san. I just wanted to try with no regrets.. I accept your refusal.. " He bowed In respect..." Then.. Ja! mata na " he ran away from her..

Mikan smiled at the retreating figure. He admired people like him. he admired the people who could stand up and try to confess their true feelings out. unlike her. She already knows the answer if ever she would confess to sempai. so why bother?

Ding dong ding dong..( chimes )

' Shimata! And I even haven't had lucnh yet! mou! " she pouted and ran to the school..

And as for Ruka...

He cutted classes.. He may not seem the type but he does.. but not frequently.. only hen he feels like it. He went to greenhouse... Not inside it but behind it... there was a huge Sakura tree there and he just wanted to talk to a person.

There He saw the raven haired rude guy from before sleeping there with a manga covering his face.. The sudden presence of the person made him wake up only to see his bestfriend..

" Yo.. " Natsume said.

" Yo.. " Ruka replied and sat next to him... He sighed once he go there.. Natsume raised a brow. " What's gotten you so down? " he asked , his friend rarely had problematic faces.

" I confessed.. and she turned me down... " he said

" What? To the girl you won't even tell me about? "

" Yeah.. she has someone she already likes... "

" Don't sweat it Ruka.. just forget her. Stupid girl must be blind to let you off.. " he said putting his arms behind his head and closed his eyes preparing to sleep..

" I already accept her refusal.. After all .. it was just a crush.."

And wit that. they stayed silent.. Ruka just absorbed in the natures beauty as he just sat there.
