Love to History

Chapter 1. The poet and the Historian

Ivan Edeshko, to be honest, did not understand what the hell he was left at school for the last two lessons. He had the opportunity to leave with the others, but Joe is the conscience of the class, so I'm not going to leave. Besides, he's got a serious problem with a story he didn't like. This, perhaps, the only subject, finding on which was for him torture. He knew that his humanitarian mindset, and all the Sciences it will not pull. But no one warned that history in the Humanities much more than the techies.

The guy is too heavy attachment to literature, and more specifically to poetry, where, as to him personally seems, the poet describes his suffering better than it is done in prose. Though the prose he loved, the lyrics are clearly attracted him more. Vanya was a home boy: he liked to knit, listen to good music and not sleep at night to complete the poem without an addressee.

The next morning he overslept the first lesson and they were very "adorable" guy story. Well, he's not a fan of military battles, lives of kings, of different foundations in different States. Ivan Edeshko more romantic nature. His friend, Mishiko Korkiya, nicknamed the guy second Pushkin because of his curls and beautiful sense of rhyme. Ivan Edeshko is a fan of vanilla stories, which are read by girls of his age, but not guys.

Also, Vanya needs to "cram" this stupid story, only because of the gold medal that shines for him after graduation. However, prior to the release of a few months, and it will still read and write poetry.

Alexander Belov is a history teacher who does not let anyone down. He has an excellent reputation, and he teaches a good school curriculum. Only now at 11 "In" there is such Kudryavsky guy, Ivan Edeshko, which the subject does not love him. The man knew it from the first lesson. Surprised is the fact that the student, who is aiming for the medals, not friends with the story. From the beginning, Alexander immediately noted that there is in him something of the great Russian poet Pushkin. Maybe it's his perpetual pipe dreams? Can, this love to literature?

About the love of literature Belov learned in the third lesson of history, when instead of listening to how he talks about his favorite historical period, namely the reign of Peter I, Alexander sees that Ivan is clearly engaged in something else.

Now we Ivan Edeshko will answer the question when he built our town — Belov looked intently at curly, and he even took. - Edeshko! — Vanya raised his head and met the gaze of the teacher.

- Yeah? uncertainly he said.

- Tell, please, when was is based our glorious city? - Ivan bit his lip, it was a clear sign that Edeshko does not listen and does not know the answer. - Ivan, you like the Humanities, and answer simple question not you can.

"Yes, I don't know your answer, I have the inspiration came. I'm not going to listen to your boring lessons.". So could the answer Edeshko, courage the boy is not enough, so his thoughts remain only thoughts.

- I don't know, Alexander Alexandrovich.

- Then why aren't you listening to me? — the guy lowered his head and even stopped painting. All  ashamed him became. - From now on, you'll be late. We will increase your knowledge in history, so to speak.

And Edeshko and deny not can. He's excellent, so the guy nodded slightly in order not to withdraw teachers from itself, but it can suddenly control to arrange, and later, after school, the guys gave him dark. That's why he agreed to do was not worse.
