[ WP ] A substitute teacher falls in love with the absent teacher from their notes .

For months, she taught class with instructions from his notes. Week after week, note after note, she followed the guidelines for his lessons exactly. She taught the classes so similarly that the classes felt comfortable with her. She was temporary, but they treated her like him, like he never even left. The class always spoke of what a great, awesome person he was. He was help, kind and honest. She'd never met him before, but it was n't long before she knew she'd like to. 
 
 Was it how highly he was spoken of, so casually yet always with respect, that gave her this feeling? Soon she realized it was the feeling of love she was feeling each week as she read his notes. His handwriting was perfect, as was his way with words. Every sentence was constructed as delicately as an artist constructs his painting. Every word filled her, every sentence read leaving her breathless. She was in love, more than she ever had been. She was in love, yet she was tired. 
 
 She no longer wanted a one sided method of communication. She longed for something more. She wanted to speak with the man behind the words that had stolen her heart. She wished to see him, face to face, more than anything she had ever desired before. It was the week before her last day, before he'd come back and she'd be gone, that she decided it was time. 
 
 She'd meet him, knowing she could n't take anymore, she knew she had to see him at least once. She acquired his address, drove to his home. It was a simple home, that of a simple yet hardworking man. She hesitated, taking a deep breath as she got out of her car, she had come so close, she had to go through with it. Knocking on his door, she wondered what she was going to say. She heard footsteps, and as the doorknob because to turn from the inside, time slowed down. She took another deep breath, quickly rehearsing her first words to him in her head, `` Hello, I'm _________. I've been substituting for you, and I love you.''

 I know this is n't the most realistic story, definitely a bit cliche imo. But I had an idea that I wanted to try for shits and giggles. The idea here is that it seems like a cutesy, cliche love movie with a female lead. However, switch the genders around so it's a guy obsessing over a woman, and I felt it made the whole thing seem a bit stalker-ish. So that was fun.: )
