of done some of those things! I am your friend! How do you think I feel to hear that your still fighting with your brother from someone else, t-that you won't let anyone help you out, t-t-that I was b-being too harsh on our study sessions o-o-or that you haven't been eating in days because I was being a bad friend," Raivis started to blubber out in a teary mess.
Raivis slipped an arm from Tino's grip and brought his hand back up about to hit me again when Kaoru came into the picture and grabbed Raivis's wrist before Raivis had hit me. Kaoru delivered a sharp slap across Raivis's face grasping his attention.
"Shut up, what kind of friend are you, using violence to express your anger, that's no better than a toddlers tantrums," Kaoru said to Raivis.
"You are a bad friend, in fact all you want is the guilty pleasure of watching Emil show some emotion towards you because as we all know he never does."
Raivis was speechless before he started laughing a bit manically.
"Sorry, but it is true y-you never show any emotion towards me Emil, y-y-your my friend, but you’re not comfortable enough to share what’s on your mind to me-" Kaoru was the one to silence him with his hand.
"I think you should leave," Kaoru said.
Raivis nodded sadly before getting up with a sagging head following Tino out the door. It was dead silent in the empty club room. Kaoru and I held an awkward silence between the two of us before he got up about to leave when I grabbed him by the waist and pulled his body to mine. I breathed in his scent and relaxed a little knowing that he smelled the same as he did when we first met on that beach.
"Why don't you remember me?" I whispered softly.
Kaoru pulled out from my grip making my heart plead out for him to come back, but I saw the same sorrow reflected in his eyes.
"Because I'm supposed to forget you, that's what brother ordered me to do," he spoke softly in a whisper before turning and leaving me all alone in the Club Room to sulk in my own sorrow all over again.
Chapter 15: Chicks and Turkey Day

(Matthew's POV)
It was a sunny afternoon in the clubroom and Emil along with Raivis was leading me to the passage down to the Uke Informant's HQ with armfuls of cameras they had collected from my room. My face was lit up like a tomato on fire in embarrassment, thinking that there was something embarrassing caught on one of these cameras, I just knew it.
I really did not want to be here.
After the Halloween Costume Party things seem to go slower on campus, and Gilbert seemed to stop making conversation with me frequently, which seemed out of character for him. More importantly, Tino has seemed to follow me around and grab my arm whenever I was in his sight. Like he would grab my arm or lock elbows with me before fluttering his eyelashes at me and say hello. It was sort of a new thing for me, and it's not like I dislike the attention, it's just that the more I think into it more the more it seems like the actions of a girlfriend. I mean sure Alfred still walks me to almost every one of my classes, but Tino clings to me so much that his scent is literally on my arm. I guess he's just still shaken up from what happened at the party and I'm his moral support through this, but wouldn't he be by Berwald's side instead of mine? Either way I'm probably just reading into this too much.
"Hey Toni can you help hook these up to your monitors?" Raivis asked the Uke Informant wearing a sliver alien mask and typing on his laptop on a beanbag chair. From what I learned, the Uke Informant's name was Toni whose parents are so stupidously rich that all Toni does is gather information and mess with technology with all the money his parents give him. He also gives us information for free as long as he can keep his base here and most of his existence a secret, because of his parent's social status in society is on the high ranks.
Toni nodded and went over to take over the wiring from Raivis's grasp and into his own accord of connecting the cameras to the computer monitors. When he was done setting things up, Toni went back to his spot and sat down staring at his laptop some more. After the first hour of staring at warped screens of all the cameras showing my regular everyday routine along with Gilbert, I wanted to kneel over and sleep. That was until they came over the screen with Gilbert pushing me down onto the bed.
"Whoa, now that's what I'm talking about!" Raivis exclaimed leaning towards the screen with an interested dark look in his eyes.
I felt my face heat up in embarrassment. I almost forgot about that scene. Watching Gilbert take off my shirt while pinning me with his hips made me feel like a dirty creep watching two girls sharing a room interact. Except I was merely monitoring Gilbert like he was an animal in a scientific experiment. Yeah, just keep telling yourself that Matthew.
I blushed even harder when I started yelling at Gilbert on the screen and when he finally got off of me. I saw Raivis write something down with an odd smile on his face. I felt a cold chill go down my spine when I saw that smile. We were soon a quarter away from finishing the tapes when we came upon another "suspicious" scene which was a day when I was hanging out with Alfred and Tino and Gilbert came in the dorm throwing his backpack on his bed and shoes in a random direction. He looked all worn out with his tie messily undone and hair all askew and unruly. Then he shuffled over to my bed and plopped down on it, digging his face into my fuzzy pillows.
"Why does Matthew's bed feel soooo soft," Gilbert whined before rolling off my bed onto the ground and back up into his bed. And that was about the only other odd thing he did on tape, the rest was Emil, Raivis and I taking down the cameras. Raivis was too busy writing down notes and Emil seemed to be in thought at the moment while I just sat there looking all cute. Half an hour later of being ignored I did what I do best and disappeared.
WTHS
It was currently a week before Thanksgiving and I was writing another email to my parents.
Dear Mom and Dad,
It's Matthew, sending another email. I miss you guys a lot, though Alfred keeps me off those thoughts with his hero antics. My Readers Club finally got around to finishing our first book, it was seven hundred pages long! I'm planning on giving Madeline a copy for Christmas and an ironic arrow in the knee joke on her card, don't tell her! By the way are we doing Thanksgiving this year? I need to know so I can make reservations for a flight back to Sacramento or not since the school is having a feast for students that can't go home for Thanksgiving.
With love,
Matthew
After pressing the send button I closed my laptop and sighed. Yet again there was nothing for me to do, that was something very frequent for me now a days. I sniffed my arm nonchalantly and noticed that I needed to take a shower real bad. Getting up from my bed, I went to the bathroom shutting and locking the door behind me for extra security measures. The hot spray from the shower head gave me time to soak under the spray for a moment until I got an idea. I finished cleaning off my body before I drew the curtains back, turned off the shower and plugged up the drain before lifting the lever for the low faucet. I haven't had a bubble bath since I was a kid and with all that time on my hands, I could use some "me" time. I poured some of the liquid soap under the water falling water coming from the low faucet, creating white bubbles. When the water level and temperature was just right, I dipped into the bath and sighed.
Usually I don't take baths because you basically bath in your own filth once you clean your body with the bathwater, but I did already clean myself so I should be fine. I sighed in content of the warm water and sank down till the bubbles tickled my nose. But the bath was missing one thing. Let's see, I have the privacy, warm water, bubbles, what else did it need? Rubber...
Suddenly I felt something touch my ankle. I freaked out and pulled my feet back and sat up with a gasp. I stared down at the bubble topped water where my feet were, waiting for whatever had touched me to show itself.
Chirp
Huh?
A small head of a baby chick piped out from a hill of bubbles chirping loudly. Oh good it's only a chick... That's not normal! I scooped the small chick into my hands with it's tiny, waterlogged body squirming around in a dress of bubbles. I carefully wiped the bubbles from its body and noticed it's feathers were a gold color with zigzagging stripes down it's body. It chirped at me three times before it started nibbling on my finger. Cautiously I got out of the tub tugging the plug loose with my toes and getting out while waiting for the water to drain out. When it did I replugged the drain and placed the chick in the tub. I then went to the cupboard, wrapped a towel around my waist and opened the other side of the cupboard to find ten chicks with the same feather design as the one I found, snuggling in the basket among broken spotted eggs.
The quail eggs hatched!
Oh god, what am I gonna do now!
I know, I'll just call Gilbert's cell and tell him all his chicks hatched, yeah just go do that Matthew, don't panic. But first get dressed, unless you want Gilbert to see you shirtless.
I got out of the bathroom closing the door and searched for some clothes to throw on. Once this was accomplished I grabbed my cell phone and rung up Gilbert's number.
"Hey Mattie," I heard Gilbert reply dully.
"You need to get your ass to the dorm room now," I hissed lowly.
"What? Why?"
"Your chicks hatched farmer brown, and I found one of them soaking with me in the tub."
"Wait, so your saying that you’re taking a hot, bubbly bath naked with a
