Chapter 5 – He's a Girl
The next day, the class was having track-and-field for class. Each was having their turn. Then, the three (Taiki; who believes ghosts exist and he can detect their auras, Yuu and Koko; they are best friends.) were also there. They became friends with Mikan after. Then, it was time for Mikan and Koko to run.
"On your marks, get set, go!" the coach said as the piston shot a bullet. Then in a flash, Mikan was gone. She runs very fast. Ruka saw this, and was amazed on what Mikan can do.
"Mikan," Ruka said as he clenched his fist and locates it at his left chest, "I am amazed by what you can do. From now on, we should be friends."
Then, Mikan reached the finish line in a flash. Definitely, she's a fast runner. That happened in the morning. Then Ruka realized that if she's better in running, then she might be better in soccer. Therefore, Ruka challenged Mikan that later afternoon.
Mikan was walking by, and then Ruka ran towards her.
"Mikan, I challenge you to play soccer with me." Ruka said.
"But Ruka, I'm no good at soccer. Remember, you're Gakuen Alice's Golden Leg, and I'm nothing good at soccer." Mikan said to Ruka.
"But Mikan please! There's something I can do that you can't. Please………………." Ruka begged and begged until he got Mikan's attention.
"Alright Ruka, when?" Mikan asked.
"Now," Ruka replied.
Then, they were at the football field, playing soccer. Mikan is really no good at soccer, while Ruka's trying his best to win. They didn't know that Natsume was watching them. Ruka was so determined to winning; he accidentally hits Mikan with his arm. Mikan laid onto the ground as Ruka hits the goal. Natsume sees this and ran towards Mikan to help her. He ran and he helped them.
"Ruka, you run going to the clinic while I'll take her there." Natsume said. Ruka ran and Natsume tried to carry Mikan. Then he noticed- he took a grip of her chest and he knew – Mikan is a girl who is masquerading as a boy in an all boys' school. But, he just carried her and went to the clinic.
At the clinic, the doctor was checking her. The doctor's Chinese, so he preferred to be called as "Mei Tian." As he was checking, Ruka was really worried. Then the doctor finally spoke.
"Don't worry, he'll wake up soon. Sorry for interrupting. You may go now." Dr. Mei Tian said.
"Are you sure doctor? It might be worse. He might have blood transfusion and I could be a donor now." Ruka said as he was being driven away by Natsume. Then they disappeared after. After they disappeared, Mikan finally had the chance of waking up. Then, after she woke up the doctor asked her.
"Why such a girl like you is in Alice Academy all boys' school?" The doctor asked as he was crawling near Mikan, and Mikan was trying to crawl backwards, away from the doctor.
Then, Natsume had a bad feeling. He thought that what if Dr. Mei Tian knew that she's a girl.
"Ruka, you head for class. I forgot something at the clinic." Natsume said to Ruka.
"Ok" Ruka replied as Natsume was running. Good thing Natsume appeared just in time before Mikan's doom occurred.
"Mikan, you're feeling okay now aren't you?" Natsume asked.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Mikan walked towards Natsume and said to the doctor, "Don't worry, Doctor Mei Tian. I'm feeling fine. Bye now!" Mikan said as the two walked together.
"Come back when you feel sick!" The Doctor called.
As they were walking, they were both thinking about different things.
"So, this girl's acting like a boy in an all boys' school? Oh well, lucky for you Mikan, I won't tell. I'll just be watching on your next move. I just want to see what you will be doing at Gakuen Alice." Natsume thought.
"Wait, after I got unconscious, who lifted me up to the clinic? And why they haven't said it yet? Oh well, but Dr. Mei Tian knows I'm a girl!!! Is he going to say it to the principal and goodbye Natsume? Oh I hope not!" Mikan thought.
The next day while Mikan was walking towards her room, Ruka surprised Mikan.
"Mikan!" Ruka called.
"Yes, Ruka?" Mikan answered.
"Are you feeling alright?" Ruka asked Mikan.
"Yeah, Ruka you don't have to worry. It was just a hit on the head." Mikan said.
"I'll take whatever it is. Oh yeah to make you feel lucky, here." Ruka said as he reached a necklace from his pocket, "Here is my lucky necklace. It makes me feel lucky."
"Really Ruka, I don't have to receive such thing." Mikan said.
"You want more? Here is my other lucky charm," Ruka said, "Now I feel that I'm all out of luck."
"Ruka thank you but-."
"Ah, here's something that really makes me lucky." Ruka said as he pulled out a black string from his pocket.
"Eew, what's that smell?" Mikan asked as she covered her nose.
"You see, my mother let me keep my umbilical cord when I was little (In case you can't remember, the umbilical cord is where a baby is connected when he's still on his mother's womb). So, this is my lucky charm." Ruka said as Mikan ran away, screaming going to her room.
"Mikan, I'm so proud of you!" Ruka said.
"He's offering me his umbilical cord. I guess that's enough!" Mikan thought.
