I'm not a hopeless scamp, and my brain is fine.

So, five "geese". That's enough to leave a slob for the second year. But another, sixth, deuce in behavior was inevitable. And then our cool Margarita Vasilyevna, nicknamed Margot, couldn't help but take the floor.

Together with the historian and the physical education teacher, she was of the opinion that I was not a hopeless scamp and that my brain was fine. Yes, there were three disciplines in which I had fours and even fives. Literature, history.

And physical education. And this fact struck a chord with other teachers. I led them to believe that they hadn't helped me uncover some hidden abilities.

They shouldn't have blamed themselves. I've never studied literature or history either. He answered more or less passably, because he listened with interest to the teacher's explanation in the classroom. And also because I read fiction. I couldn't stand physical education lessons either. All that was required by the program was not for me. I always found some reason not to study with everyone. I felt at ease only when I started playing basketball or volleyball.

In general, we can assume that our Margot said at that pedagogical council.

— You can't call Eremin a dumbass. It's just that the guy has no interest in the exact sciences. There is a clear flaw in my esteemed colleagues. I think they won't argue with me. And if it's our common fault, then there's no moral right to spoil the end of a ten-year study for a guy. Imagine: the whole class, where there are enough other sloppies, gets certificates, and Eremin... He will not be studying for the second year in the tenth grade. She's going to night school. And it is naive to think that he will get there the knowledge that we have not given him. I suggest that Eremin be given a three instead of a two and that he be strictly warned to prepare properly for his final exams.

What Margot was offering (and I was told she really was offering) was a trivial pedagogical deal. Knowing the nature of the teachers, I assume that the physicist and the chemist were not against it. Only Dick could have balked. He probably remembered how I behaved in his lessons. Dick loved mathematics too much to forgive me for such behavior. Besides, he was generally a complete person. No one knew any compromises or deals with his conscience. Well, if Dick stood his ground, then the physicist and the chemist did not go along with Margot. Director Novokshanov, of course, could have put pressure on one or another scale. But it was not for nothing that the director was considered the best in the city. On the one hand, he didn't want to clash with Dick. On the other hand, I wasn't afraid to ruin the reporting.

So on the twentieth of May, I found out that I had been left for the second year. The first thing I experienced was an acute feeling of fear. The mother finds out — a huge scandal. His father finds out, a big bruiser. But the scarier thing is immediate house arrest for an indefinite period of time. There is no street. No friends. A home prison. His mother's constant reproaches and his father's menacing silence.

I didn't know where to go. I used to spend whole evenings at the school gym. It was awkward to show up there now. And I didn't want to go home. Then I decided to visit Tolya Logvinovsky.

There was a demobilized sailor, Lyosha, in our yard. She's under two meters tall, but she's a good-natured creature. All his peers got married after the army. And Lyosha was shy of girls. And in order to keep himself busy in his free time, he offered himself to us boys as a sambo and jiu-jitsu coach. He served in the Far East and brought all this wisdom from there.
