I am currently a senior in high school. I seem to always attract my teachers and coaches. I have always been extremely smart but really quiet and self conscious, but have gradually been breaking out of my shell as I get older. I have been told that I am pretty and smart, I wouldn't say I'm pretty because I have a very large pointy nose, but then again I am really self conscious.
My problem here is that I ALWAYS start to feel awkward. Sophomore year I had this 28 year old coach who was hot. But he always stared at me and my teammates began to say I was his favorite even though I never talked to him. Long story short, I was always really quiet and awkward around him and it was so uncomfortable. Junior year I told myself I would not repeat the previous year and we had this guy coach who was 29, married, and just had a baby. He was really nice and responsible and I did not get creepy vibes from him, therefore I was more comfortable around him than any other male coaches/teachers I've had. I was really happy to finally had a coach I was comfortable around. Eventually at the end of the year I noticed he would stare at me as I walked into practice and would stare at my legs during practice and I thought I was imagining it. Then at the end of the year I was standing around and knew he was standing across from me fixing something. I was looking down and then rolled my head up, and there he was staring at me with the craziest look in his eyes like he was in love and we made eye contact. I seriously wanted to cry because I was so overwhelmed and I had never seen that look in his eyes before. It really freaked me out and from then on I knew I wasn't imagining it. Then at the end of the year we were cleaning up and I was fixing something. He stood right next to me and started fixing something that didn't need to be fixed. All of the sudden after the season ended, he sent an email to the team saying he was moving and leaving the team after 3 years. But it was so all of the sudden and he always talked about his plans for next year. Now I don't want to sound self centered, but I almost feel like his decision to move POSSIBLY had something to do with me. Only because it was so strange and all of the sudden. After all, he does have a wife and child. The team was really shocked about it, as was I.
Other than that, I've had this Spanish teacher since 9th grade. He is 68 now. I have always been good at it, so understandably, he has always liked me as a student and made eye contact while talking to the class. He really liked me and my best friend. Now this year I am a senior and my friend isn't in the class, and things have gotten weird. He stopped making eye contact with me during class, but instead clearly favors me. He never checks my homework. He checks everyone elses but then just asks if I did it and I say yes and he gives me credit. On a test, I got the same answers as the girl next to me, but he marked some of hers wrong and mine right, so he gave me a higher grade on the test than I deserved. Also, during an assembly, I was looking around the crowd for a friend, and I saw him staring at me but pretended not to see him. Recently I was sick and absent from a test day, and when I came back next class I had learned that he postponed the test. Then when I was standing at the water fountain, he went up to me and told me that he postponed the test because I wasn't there. He constantly compliments me on being organized and always doing my work. But I haven't even been doing that well this year!! And get this, I NEVER talk to him first or make conversation. AND HE'S 68 AND MARRIED! I've been taking it as just friendly and I'm not creeped out, but it is clear favoritism.
This year I have an English teacher I've never had before and this is a recipe for disaster. He is in his thirties and the youngest teacher I've ever had. And now I'm a senior, the most outgoing I've been, and on the brink of being legal. Similarly to me, he was very quiet when he was younger. But he seems like the type that didn't get action in high school and was awkward with girls. There is a rumor that he dated a senior right after she graduated from our school. English is also one of my strongest subjects and I'm abnormally good at spelling/grammar. I've also scored the highest on all of our tests and essays so far. And he seriously avoids eye contact with me and never looks at me during class. One of our assignments is to make a one-on-one appointment with him after school (in his classroom) to discuss a book we read. Uh AWKWARD, right? And today we were doing group discussions and he came and sat next to my group and I could feel him looking in my direction, then he said "sorry" to the girl in front of me so I guess she caught him staring in our direction or something. For now I am going to tell myself I am imagining it.
I am so positive that he is going to like me that I am planning on asking him to write one of my college recommendation letter. But I just want to be liked as a student. So right now, I need him to like me, but I'm so nervous he is going to fall for me somehow and make things awkward.
