A Secret Biological Part of Me

Chapter Seventeen

With no time to waste, the three practiced everyday during lunch and sometimes after school. 

However as time passed, Aiko began to notice Ayano and her gang also practicing both after school and during lunches.

Ignoring them, Aiko carried on with the practices. Amaya however ended up pitching an idea about a choreography as the song was going to have actual music and it was going to be somewhat upbeat.

With that in mind, the three went onto the living room computer to use the program one day, only to find a song that Aiko remembers from September.

"Do you remember that song Ms. Fujimoto? We worked on it in September. I'm sure your class did to Ms. Fuji." Hokuto stated.

"Why is this song on Mom's computer?" Amaya asked. "Did she help create instrumentals for it or something?"

Coincidentally, Fumiko entered the house, returning from work with her usual acceptable working outfit.

"Speaking of the woman." said Amaya.

"Oh hello girls. Hello Hokuto. Mind if I ask what you three are up to?" Fumiko asked.

"Hey mom, why is A Difficult Difference on the music software? Did you help with the instrumentals or something?" Amaya asked.

Instantly, Fumiko rushed out and looked at the title and instantly deleted it out of that library and then said, "Oh no. I was just trying to make some kind of cover when I first got the software. That's all."

Once that was deleted, Fumiko walked upstairs and the siblings watched Fumiko with a confused look.

"That was . . . awkward." said Amaya.

When the siblings turned back to the computer, they already saw Hokuto inserting a number of instruments into the library and also writing them down on a scrap piece of paper.

"Um . . .why in the world are you writing them down if they are in the computer?" Amaya asked.

"This could be helpful if we lose data and also, I would like to add piano and violin in this but I would like to work with the default instruments that are in this program." Hokuto replied.

"Why don't you just add the piano and violin?" Amaya asked.

"I know how to play both and I already have an idea of what I would like the melody to be." Hokuto replied.

"Well, give us a taste of your imagination then." Amaya demanded.

"You girls should sit back and relax while I mess around with this." Hokuto instructed.

"You are the musically talented one. To the couch I go." Amaya stated as she got up, trotting over to the couch with pride.

Aiko however, did not follow her sister as she watched Hokuto with curiosity as he messed with the program. Amaya, who didn't care too much, ended up playing video games for a while until Hokuto got up and said, "I should head home now as it is getting late."

"Is the music saved?" Amaya asked, burying her face into her handheld.

"Yes and I have sent a copy to myself so I can work on it." Hokuto informed as he grabbed his bag. "Good day to you ladies."

Hokuto walked off after putting his shoes on into the outside world. When the next day came, Amaya and Aiko noticed bags under Hokuto's eyes. He however didn't look like a zombie but more like an old man

"Hey, why do you look so dead?" Amaya asked.

"I have gotten no sleep due to circumstances Ms. Fuji as you should know." Hokuto replied.
