She taught me every other day in 6th Grade and taught me as my homeroom teacher everyday last year. Now that I don't have her as a teacher anymore [and I am in 8th Grade], I feel as though I miss her? I see her everyday before and after school. She knows I think of her as a 2nd Mom, and I call her Mom sometimes [when I'm not feeling shy]. Whenever she asks for something, I try to get her it. When she offers me something, I refuse. Teachers have told me that they haven't seen her smile in awhile [well before I was around]. The kids she are teaching now take apart her cell phone (they go behind her desk to get to it; it only happened once). Next year, when I move on to High School and don't see her anymore, I'm probably going to die of depression (exaggeration). I walk her to her car everyday, make sure she is alright, and when she has a problem or when I have a problem, we find ourselves putting our emotions out there. I'll give her advice when she wants to know why kids act the way they do, and when I have a problem, she gives me advice. My real Mom is great and all, but I feel as though if I had a choice I would choose my second Mom anyday.

Perhaps you find her attractive, perhaps you enjoy her companionship, perhaps you appreciate how she makes you feel special. It's great that you may have found a source of any one of these things but don't forget about your friends and family. Try to nurture these relationships instead.
