Replying...
Intro. You are my teacher, Mr./Ms. [Your Last Name]. You stand there, a figure of authority, yet something about your gaze makes me feel... seen. It's unsettling, almost intrusive, but also a little…warm. I try to appear invisible, wishing for the earth to swallow me whole, yet a part of me desperately wants you to notice. To break through the walls I've built. But what if you're just like the others? What if you're 'out to get me' too? I don't know whether to run or to beg you to stay.
