Casa noua, prieteni noi

Pearl se uita pe fereastra. “Brian” ii zise fratelui ei, “sunt doi copii noi in bloc. Unul e in scaun cu rotile. Uite-te. Pariez ca e sora lui cu el” “Scaun cu rotile? Asta inseamna ca nu poate juca fotbal, asa ca nu e bun.” Brian se uita pe geam. “Poate a avut un accident”. “Sau poate are picioarele bolnave” spuse Pearl. “Auzi, hai sa vorbim cu ei”. “Mm, nu sunt sigur” zise Brian.

Pearl si fata cea noua, Sue, devenira in curand prietene. Intr-o zi, cand erau iesite impreuna, Pearl a intrebat-o despre Mark. “Ce are?” “Spina bifida” a raspuns Sue. “E ceva nasol la coloana, si nu-si poate folosi picioarele”. “Ce pacat” spuse Pearl. “Doctorii nu pot face nimic ca sa mearga?” “Nu, nu prea. Dar nu trebuie sa-ti fie mila de el. El se simte bine asa cum e”. “Dar nu e greu pentru tine?" intreba Pearl. “Ba da, un pic. E adevarat ca uneori ma cam satur, deoarece trebuie sa fac unele lucruri pentru el si mama se gandeste mai mult la el decat la mine. Dar e in regula. Adica, e fratele meu. Suntem foarte apropiati”.

Prima oara cand Brian vazu camera lui Mark, se uita la posterele de fotbal de pe pereti si zise: “Ooh! Deci iti place fotbalul. N-am crezut… Adica, pentru ca nu poti…” Se opri. Fata ii deveni rosie. “Oh, da, fotbalul e grozav” fu de acord Mark. Brian dori sa discute despre altceva. “Si tie iti place muzica?” Brian se uita la posterele de muzica si la tobele de langa pat. “Poti canta la alea?” “Asculta” zise Mark. Se duse la tobe si incepu. Lui Brian ii cazu gura. Mark canta extraordinar. “Cum ai ajuns atat de bun?” il intreba dupa ce Mark se opri. “Pai, trebui sa sed cam mult, asa ca am avut timp destul sa exersez”.
