I just racked an american wheat over to the secondary and its really cloudy. Will it clear it by any chance??

A wheat beer will always be a little cloudy\hazy but yes it will clear some. When you racked to the secondary did you take a gravity reading? Was it finished fermenting?
 
Yea it was at 1.014 for three days straight so I figured it was done.
 
As Rockn said, wheat beers tend to be a bit cloudy in general.

Next time (unless you have a specific reason), just leave your beer in the primary. When you transfer over, if anything, you stir things back up and it'll clear slower than if you'd left it in the primary. Either way it'll clear up some though.
 
If its not even a little cloudy, its a Krystalweizen, which is pretty rare. Give it a week or two in secondary and then bottle. No worries on clarity with Wheat beers.
