TEACHER'S LOVE STORIES
by: Alejandra Vargas
-Julio Martínez (Spanish teacher)
​
When I was 5 years old, I fell in love with one of the nuns that worked at my school, her dress covered almost all of her body, the only thing I could see was her face and her beautiful big blue eyes. I think that I was attracted to her because of her eyes, but It was a five-year-old love, so maybe it was only admiration. Then, when I was 14 years old, I experienced true love; it was my first true love. She lived in Toledo, it was love at first sight and it happened like if cupid had hit me with one of his arrows. I didn't even sleep thinking about when our next date would be. I traveled from Madrid to Toledo, that is a 70 km long trip, only to have a couple moments with her, so this was my first real experience with that feeling that we call love.

When I was in university, I had to study some subjects with students from different careers, and one day I saw this beautiful girl with blue eyes and blonde hair almost of my same height that studied environmental engineering (I studied sports sciences). We had English class together, and we had it for about two hours per cycle, but I didn’t even talk to her because I was too shy. One day we had to do a project, and both of us arrived late, so we had to do it together, and that was the moment I started to know her. She was really beautiful and really interesting. We had a lot of things in common, but the only thing that stopped the relationship from growing was that she wasn’t a good student, so she started getting behind in the semesters, while I was advancing, that sadly damaged the relationship.

It happened when I was about 13 or 14 years old, I don’t remember it very well, but he was one of my closest friends in school, and even though we weren’t in the same class we were really close. We had the same taste in music and movies, so we went out a lot; also we had a lot in common so we could talk for hours. It was really strange at the beginning, and it was kind of a surprise for me, because when he asked me if I want to be his girlfriend I really didn’t expect it, because we were just friends at the time, but I did feel something for him, so, of course, I said yes, and it was amazing to know that he liked me back, it was a really beautiful relationship. We dated for about 8 months and we still talk to each other, we are good friends, I remember him as a great person.
-Miguel (Religion Teacher)

Both of us were 14 years old, she lived in my neighborhood, about 2 or 3 blocks away from me. She was my first platonic love. She was the stereotype of the perfect woman, she had beautiful eyes, and amazing skin, also she had a beautiful hair and the most astonishing smile I had ever seen. But all of my friend and classmates liked her too; she was really pretty so I couldn’t prevent myself to fall head over heels for her. I started by looking at her every time, and it became so frequent that I started falling in love with her, I fell so hard for her that I thought about her every night before I went to sleep, and every morning when I woke up, but it was only a platonic love.
