A Secret Biological Part of Me

Chapter TwentyOne

For a few days, the only thing Aiko had her mind wrapped around was the fact that everyone knew she was transgender and that the fight with Amaya and Ayano's crew got around. Not only were names called out to Aiko but now Amaya. Some of the girls even started encouraging Hokuto to join them instead of the Fujimoto's but Hokuto abruptly declined at every request. 

Something felt fishy when Hokuto and Aiko arrived home one day while Amaya was at school serving her detention with Ms. Shibuya. Aiko heard the phone ringing so she went over to it. 

"Who is it?" Hokuto asked.

"It says unknown." Aiko replied. 

Hokuto and Aiko waited as the ringing kept going.

"This is the Fujimoto household. We couldn't pick up the phone right now for whatever reason. Just leave a damn message and we'll see it someday." said the voice box. 

"Madam Fujimoto knows how to impress." Hokuto whispered to himself.

"Everyone knows you're a freak. Your hated. Your a loner. Your sister has now become a freak just like you. Your bullies are always right about you. You are pathetic. Why not just kill yourself then? You have something dangling between your legs so you'll never be successful in getting a date." said the voice. "Pathetic freak. Just die." 

The message ended and Hokuto and Aiko's eyes were in shock.

"It's him again." Aiko muttered. 

"What does he want this time? Why did he wait this long to send a hateful message?" Hokuto asked.

"I don't want to point fingers but do you think Ayano and her crew could be behind all of this?" Aiko asked. 

"This dude clearly knows your transgender and did he know beforehand?" Hokuto asked. Aiko nodded once. "Ms. Koizumi's crew didn't know you were transgender when the police first came here so they cannot be behind this. This is officially his own doing as this hateful messages enter the household."

"He knows everything about me know and he's waited so long to send a message that it's frightening." said Aiko. 

"The question is, why did he wait so long?" Hokuto asked.

Aiko shrugged and sighed. 

When Fumiko and Amaya returned home later on, Aiko and Hokuto explained what happened and Fumiko called the police once again. When they came over, they explained that there wasn't much they could do as the number was unknown but admitted that they would keep a look out.

Once again, Hokuto slept over but this time, he slept in Aiko's room on the floor. 

"Didn't we go through this last time?" Aiko asked.

"Ms. Fujimoto, this time I would like to sleep on the floor as I'd be able to quickly attack if anything happens. Thank you for your . . . offer though." Hokuto replied. 

Aiko sighed and fell asleep. Hokuto however stayed up for an extra hour before laying down on the hard floor and going to sleep.

For a few days, more messages came from the same person and the police were called after the second message. However the same thing was said as they could do nothing but keep a look out. 

As Amaya sat in detention with Ms. Shibuya correcting papers, Amaya stared out the window with boredom. For the past few detention days, Ms. Shibuya has given Amaya extra math work as Amaya was extremely close to failing and due to the extra work, Amaya was on the right track and was allowed to have a one day break from the work.
