The next day went by much smoothly for Calvin and Sam. During their first period, history with Mr. Xavier, Calvin was to give an oral report on an ancestor of his; he chose his great-grandfather Nikolaus Stern, who fought against his home country in WWII, to save Germany from Nazi control. He received an A+. When class ended, Mr. Xavier went up and talked to him.
"So," he said "Did you find out anything interesting in that binder?"
"I found a few interesting things, but unfortunately, I'm not fluent in Russian." Calvin said "Also, are you, or were you, a government agent or something?"
Mr. Xavier leaned close to his ear and whispered. "All I can say is that I belong to an ultra-high division of the secret service; the president himself doesn't know I exist, I myself don't even know who I really am." Calvin nodded and left for his next class.
The next class was science with Ms. Hertz, which Calvin, Sam, and even Dennis also attended. Ms. Hertz was giving a lecture on computer programs and how they can change the world and benefit society.
"Now, any questions?" She said when she finished.
"Just one," Calvin said. "Is it possible for a multi-agent computer program to be given or develop a human-like conscience to the extent where it is aware of its own creation?"
She paused for a moment and responded. "Sorry, that type of thing only exists in science-fiction."
Calvin put his head on his desk when half the class laughed at him. "Just ignore them." Sam said "It's no worse than what Sammy did to you yesterday. Also, if you ask me, that is a good question."
During lunchtime, Calvin didn't show. Instead he went to the principal's office to ask him more about Anthony Schaeffer. He knocked on the door once.
"Yes, please come in." the principal, Mr. Delmas, said. "Ah Calvin, good to see you."
"Same here, you're not busy, are you?" said Calvin.
"Not at all, how can I help you?"
"What do you know about a kid by the name of Anthony Schaeffer?"
The principal paused for what seemed to be a while; finally he said "Follow me."
Calvin did just that and the principal pulled out a few files with the name "Schaeffer, Anthony" printed on them.
"Back when I was just a history teacher back in Germany, I came across a young student, Anthony Schaeffer. He was a really quiet child, he rarely smiled, and he didn't talk to anyone but his teachers. However, he was an incredibly gifted child. He could answer questions that only kids twice his age would know; he also liked to play the piano with his older brother, Waldo."
"Waldo Schaeffer?"
"Yes, I believe so. Why?"
"I just feel like I heard his name somewhere before. Did Anthony write any books or a diary or something? I'd like to find out more about him. Also is he still around?"
"He did as a matter of fact." Mr. Delmas said pulling out a jade-green hardcover book. "This was an autobiography he had written a while ago before he graduated from the school I taught at. And to answer your second question, he isn't around anymore. He died like a few decades ago, or at least he was presumed dead after he disappeared in the 1980s. You can keep that if you want, I was going to read it, but I guess I never got around to."
"Well, thank you" Calvin said as he left for the cafeteria.
Calvin sat down and ate his lunch when he was approached by Antea.
"Hey, Calvin?"
"Yeah?"
"Your sister told me about how you stood up for me when Dennis cheated on me. Thanks, I guess. Do you want to go out with me this weekend? You know, just as friends."
"Sure, I guess. I have no other plans."
"Great then, I'll see you soon."
After Antea left, Dennis came up to him along with Rumiko.
"Hey, Stern?"
"What do you want, Dennis?"
"I just want to say I'm sorry about the other day, I don't know what came over me, it's just that…"
"Rumiko threatened you to say that, didn't she?" Calvin interrupted "Why are you even with her? She hates you."
"Well, Otouto-chan," Rumiko said "it just so happens that me and Dennis are actually in a relationship together."
"What? After what he did to you?"
"Calvin, he may seem like a jerk, but inside he's a sweet, sensitive person."
"Sweet? He cheated on his girlfriend just so he could make out with you!"
"Listen, Stern." Dennis said "Unless you want another fight, I suggest that you…"
Just then, Dennis's phone went off, he took one glance at it, to see who it was and then he took off. "I gotta be somewhere, I'll talk to you later Rumiko."
"Where are you going?" Calvin said.
"Uh… Nowhere"
"But you just said…" But before he could finish, Dennis ran out the door.
"Something's not right here."
"Calvin, would you stop being so suspicious?" Rumiko said "He probably had to go to class early or something."
"Yeah, sure" Calvin said
When he was sure that Rumiko had left, he ran out the door intending to find Dennis, taking the autobiography with him. However, he didn't notice that Sam, Ami, and Antea had been watching him the whole time.
