Impossible

Two weeks passed since I heard my Dad would soon be released, things have looked brighter except the fact that Samantha wasn't still talking to me. It was the last day of school before the winter break and I really wanted to fix things up with her. Stephen on the other hand still had problems with his AI. It isn't easy though but instead of making a whole machine from scratch he decided to continue his Dad's chip design and implant in a small device or something. During that time I used the opportunity to take down even more robots when I walked around the city and before the police showed up, I was gone. News outlets began to cover the story of an unknown person who took down the robots I. secret and disappeared before the police could show up. A certain outlet even wrote the story that He could fly and shoot fire out of his hand. I wasn't too worried though because I had a very stealthy disguise.

Just finished writing my last exam and Stephen and I were walking through the hallways.

"Hey how's your AI coming up", I asked.

"Well I can't my codes aren't making any sense, the algorithms aren't coming together if only I can have another chip, I could copy use it to build an AI", He said.

"Well you can use the ones from the robots we've killed I mean they are clearly AIs right", I asked him.

"Yeah they are but they are still dependent on the organisation that programmed their chip and that's Centra-con and the other one we still don't know", He said.

"So you need one that destroys the code by itself that puts it under the influence of those industries", I asked him.

"Exactly, and that's nearly impossible", He replied.

So in essence what he's saying is that he can't build it. Ugh

"Hey it's Samantha", He said as he waved at her.

"Oh hi Steve, what's up", She replied.

"Steve? no one can call him that except from me", I said to her.

"I can call him whatever I want, isn't that right Stevey", she said to me as she touched Stephen's nose and laughed.

"Stevey? , hehe but I guess you are right though, Luis it's a free city", He said as he looked at Samantha and I.

"Hey I have to use the toilet, I'd be back", I said.

Samantha was getting really hard to deal with. She didn't want to make it look like we had a problem in school but anyone sensible enough could see it. I came out of the restroom and saw Jessica in the hall.

"Hey", I said to her.

"Oh um hi", she said with a beaming smile.

"I'm sorry were you following me", I said to her as I chuckled.

"Oh um maybe, I wanted to ask you if you could show me around sometime since you've lived here longer than anyone else", She asked me as she adjusted her hair and looked down.

"Uh I don't know", I said as I rubbed the back of my head.

"Look I get it you don't have time for people like me and all but I thought I could maybe hangout with someone since today's the last day of school before the winter break", She said as she sounded so sad.

"Um okay sure fine I'd show you around, in fact I'd love to", I said to her.

"Thanks so much umm 5pm, I'd be ready by 5", She said to me as she walked away.

"Sure thing", I said as I waved at her and walked back to where I left Samantha and Stephen.

"Seems you are getting along with Jessica", Samantha said to me as she rolled her eyes in the process.

"Says the person who hates me now", I said to her and looked at Stephen.

"I still do", She said as she walked away.

"So what's up with you and Samantha", I asked him.

"Nothing, what's up with you and Jessica", He asked me.

"Nothing, but I think she asked me out", I said to him.

"She asked you... Wait she asked you out", He said to me.

"Yup, to show her around", I said.

"These days the girls are the ones asking out don't you think that's suspicious", He said to me.

"I'm just gonna use the opportunity to look around for any robots and she's not a robot", I said to him as I held his shoulders.

"Grip dude, my shoulders", He said to me as we walked out of the school.
