A Secret Biological Part of Me

Chapter Thirteen

When Wednesday came, Aiko entered in the school alone. However something felt off when she noticed that just like weeks ago, students were once again whispering as they stared at Aiko. 

"Did you see the paper in the lockers?"

"I can't believe they did all of that for their age." 

Aiko glanced at the students as she noticed that most of the whispering students were holding a piece of paper. However, not being able to get a good glimpse of what the paper was, Aiko walked to her locker and opened it up, grabbing her school shoes and switching them out with her normal shoes.

Instead of going to Ms. Shibuya's classroom, Aiko went by the cherry blossom tree and sat next to it, letting her thoughts get lost in the grass as she stared down at it. 

"Ms. Fujimoto!" Hokuto yelled from a distance, snapping Aiko out of her thoughts.

Aiko looked up, only to see Hokuto appear with Amaya and a piece of paper. 

"What do you want?" Aiko rudely asked.

"The rude attitude won't help you in this situation." Amaya said. "Besides, there is more trouble in this school right now than the problem of having to deal with me." 

"What are you talking about?" Aiko asked.

"See for yourself." Amaya replied, whipping the paper down in front of Aiko. 

Aiko glanced down at the pamphlet, only to realize that the particular paper she was looking at, was the paper that most of the whispering students had in their hands. She sees the shadows of whom she recognized to be Hokuto and herself on the wall while there were some clothes lying on the ground.

She crumbled the paper up and got up as she slammed it down. Immediately, she ran out of sight as she darted for the bathrooms. 

Aiko attended none of her classes as she sat near the cherry blossom tree for hours and hours. When lunch came, she tried her hardest to avoid eating lunch but as she began to feel like she was going to be sick. she reluctantly unpacked her lunch and started eating. She ate alone as she noticed that Amaya and Hokuto didn't bother to look for her.

"I must be one crazy freak." Aiko thought. "Hokuto didn't bother to look for me as now it looks like he actually did do something with me since now it seems like there is actually evidence that he did do something with me. I must've made him look like a fool."

Aiko continued to eat but after just a couple of bites, her stomach began to feel sick again so she closed up the bento box and stored it away.

Time didn't fly by quick after that as Aiko became anxious. Would the teachers find her? Hell, would anyone find her? Would her mother receive another phone call or message? Would anything even happen? 

When the school day was close to ending with the last class of the day in session, Aiko got up and quietly sneaked over to her locker in order to grab her regular shoes, switching them out with her school shoes. Once she got her regular shoes, she quickly left the school, putting her jacket and hood on as the wind heavily blew. She knew that with a good chance her mother would be home before she could even make it home so Aiko decided to walk around the park as she found nothing better to do.

For who knows how long, Aiko walked around the park. However as she walked, she began to feel a drop of something on her hands. She looked up only to realize that more of that water was coming down. Without a care, Aiko continued to walk, beginning to step in tiny puddles.
