Fish Crazy
I'm 16, in the second year of high. I speak English and Spanish equally well (long story) and do my best to get good grades. I was homeschooled all my life, so this is my first ever time in school (second year already).
My classmates all dislike me (except at homework time) because I'm the class 'nerd' and don't play the same sports or watch the same movies they do. All my best friends are teachers.
Is that weird? My best friend is my ex logic teacher from last year. She and I are apt to spend hours on the phone, and we chat by Facebook, e-mail, you name it. She hasn't yet been able to come to my house (my mom's health isn't very good), but we've been planning on it since before she left my school. It's not until she left that I realized how much time I'd really spent with her in school; now I have nothing to do all recess. I miss her so bad
I am also friends with the ex librarian, who I adopted as my 'big sister' LOL, and am very friendly with most of the teachers. When I get a 10 on an exam, the first thing I usually do is go find a teacher I like and tacklehug them hahaha
The geography teacher I had last year is an excellent teacher and a very sweet person. She was perfectly OK with being friends with me until her 'friend'--my last year's advanced English teacher, with whom I had many problems simply because she didn't like me and she also happens to be the principal's best pal--told her things about me. I suppose she was reprimanded in some way, because afterward, she told me we couldn't be friends because she was my teacher and I was her student. That broke my heart, because before I had this problem, she had told me we were friends, and we had grown really close. (That, by the way, never affected my grades. If I earned a 5, she gave me a 5; if I earned a 10, she gave me a 10, and that was totally separate from our friendship.)
Now I'm confused. They've changed around a lot of teachers this year, and though she still works at my school she doesn't give classes at my level. I miss her teaching ability, but most of all, I miss her friendship. Sometimes I get the feeling that she still cares, that she still wants to talk to me, but is afraid to be seen doing so. Like, she'll pass by me in the hallway and give me a pat on the shoulder or say 'hi', but right away she'll run off to her next class, without giving me the opportunity to follow and chat with her on the way. I love her deeply and I would never hurt her, so I stay away to avoid getting her in trouble. But she saved me from total social isolation last year, and that's not something I'll ever forget.
