Andrei a \u00eencuviin\u021bat din cap \u0219i s-a dus spre col\u021bul indicat, cu obrajii arz\u00e2nd. S-a a\u0219ezat \u00een ultima banc\u0103, l\u00e2ng\u0103 caloriferul care nu func\u021biona niciodat\u0103. R\u00e2setele s-au stins \u00eencet, dar privirile au r\u0103mas.<\/p>\n
\u00cen primele s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, profesorul nu l-a scos la tabl\u0103 nici m\u0103car o dat\u0103. Lec\u021biile curgeau peste el ca apa peste piatr\u0103, iar Andrei nota tot, ordonat, cu litere mici, ca acas\u0103. \u0218tia r\u0103spunsurile. Pe toate. Dar nimeni nu le cerea.<\/p>\n
\u00cen pauze, ceilal\u021bi vorbeau despre medita\u021bii de 200 de lei pe \u0219edin\u021b\u0103, despre vacan\u021be la mare, despre telefoane noi. Andrei m\u00e2nca o felie de p\u00e2ine cu margarin\u0103 \u0219i privea pe geam.<\/p>\n
Seara, ajungea acas\u0103 rupt de oboseal\u0103. Aprindea lum\u00e2narea, scotea creionul galben \u0219i repeta exerci\u021biile din cap. F\u0103r\u0103 caiete scumpe. F\u0103r\u0103 aplica\u021bii. Doar el \u0219i numerele.<\/p>\n
Timpul a trecut. A venit evaluarea na\u021bional\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen ziua examenului, Andrei a intrat \u00een sal\u0103 cu acela\u0219i pulover, dar cu spatele drept. A scris calm. F\u0103r\u0103 grab\u0103. Ca \u0219i cum fiecare problem\u0103 ar fi fost o potec\u0103 pe care o mai mersese de sute de ori.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd au ap\u0103rut rezultatele, \u0219coala a amu\u021bit.<\/p>\n
Primul punctaj din jude\u021b.
Primul din \u021bar\u0103.<\/p>\n
Numele lui era sus. Clar. Andrei Popa.<\/p>\n
Profesorul Mendez a citit de trei ori lista. A sim\u021bit cum i se str\u00e2nge stomacul. \u00cen aceea\u0219i sear\u0103, a scos din sertar o fotografie veche. Un copil descul\u021b, \u00eentr-o clas\u0103 s\u0103rac\u0103, \u00eentr-un sat de munte.<\/p>\n
Era el.<\/p>\n
A doua zi, l-a chemat pe Andrei la catedr\u0103. Nu pentru o problem\u0103. Pentru prima dat\u0103, l-a privit cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tii ce ai f\u0103cut, nu?
\u2014 Am scris ce \u0219tiam, a spus Andrei simplu.<\/p>\n
Profesorul a z\u00e2mbit. Un z\u00e2mbet rar.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ai dovedit c\u0103 valoarea nu st\u0103 \u00een haine. Nici \u00een pantofi. Ci \u00een cap \u0219i \u00een inim\u0103.<\/p>\n
La festivitatea de premiere, Andrei a urcat pe scen\u0103 cu acela\u0219i pulover. Sala s-a ridicat \u00een picioare. Mama lui pl\u00e2ngea \u00een ultimul r\u00e2nd, cu m\u00e2inile cr\u0103pate de munc\u0103.<\/p>\n
Bursa complet\u0103 a venit c\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu. Apoi alta. \u0218i alta.<\/p>\n
Anii au trecut.<\/p>\n
\u00centr-o zi, Andrei s-a \u00eentors la acela\u0219i colegiu. Nu ca elev. Ca profesor.<\/p>\n
\u00cen prima or\u0103, a v\u0103zut un b\u0103iat cu pantofi rup\u021bi, st\u00e2nd \u00een ultimul r\u00e2nd.<\/p>\n
A z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
