The Favorite Teacher



The Favorite Teacher


A story about a favorite teacher, a forgotten classroom crush, and an unexpected online friendship that sparks memories of first love and fate.




The first impression of laughter, jokes, and deep connections with her students was undeniable — Mrs. Shapiro was a beautiful teacher who beautifully taught each lesson and encouraged every student. She believed in their success and often worked one-on-one to help them thrive.


Among her students was a quiet girl named Diana, who struggled with even the simplest quizzes while her classmates passed with ease. Despite her challenges, Diana loved coming to class and always completed her homework. She sat alone at the last desk in the row. A boy sat two desks ahead of her — the boy Mrs. Shapiro often called “the smartest kid.”


One day, the teacher asked him to pass out the weekly quizzes. As he handed Diana her quiz, he paused, standing still for a moment. Then, he slipped her a small crumpled note, written in pencil:

“I like you.”


Diana never responded.


Later, Mrs. Shapiro asked Diana quietly, “Do you have a crush on anyone in class?”

Blushing, Diana whispered his name: Sam.

What Mrs. Shapiro did with that information, Diana never found out.


Time passed. Diana wanted to be friends with Sam, but nothing ever happened. She moved on, making new friends online, though she was cautious and guarded. One day, she connected with someone named Sam again — and surprisingly, they clicked. Their bond grew stronger, filled with laughter, comfort, and shared memories.


Diana didn’t believe in love, but Sam made her feel seen and worthwhile. She began to wonder — was it the same Sam from her class? Was fate giving them another chance?


Diana focused on her education and career, growing stronger and happier. And just when she felt most confident, her heart spoke again — she realized she had fallen for him.


But it was too late.


Sam wasn’t interested in her.


Diana tried to forget, but his memory lingered in her mind, heart, and soul. Somehow, they kept reconnecting, over and over again.


Have you ever reconnected with someone from your past and wondered if it was fate — or just coincidence?

Beneath the Neem Tree

Beneath the Neem Tree This story is a reflection of a real place—rooted in memory, love, and quiet moments beneath the shade of a tree that stood for generations. The neem tree at the heart of this story was no ordinary tree. It was a well-known, evergreen beauty—gracefully spreading its branches and standing as the tallest tree in the center of our courtyard. Planted by my grandmother’s father-in-law, it became a living witness to family life, childhood joys, and the passage of time. Though the tree is no longer there, its presence lives on in the memories we carry. In the heart of a noisy, fast-growing city stood an old house, and in the middle of its courtyard grew a neem tree—tall, proud, and deeply rooted in both soil and memory. This neem tree wasn’t planted by chance. It was placed there by my grandmother’s father-in-law, many decades ago, with care and intention. Over the years, it grew into something more than just a tree. Its wide branches spread like arms embracing the house...

The Vacant Room

The Vacant Room Intro: Some doors are better left unopened. In this psychological horror short, a girl named Lisa vanishes inside her own home — only to return changed. What happens in the vacant room stays with her… and maybe with you too. When night falls, the house is swallowed by darkness. Lisa, home alone, walks through the quiet halls of the big, echoing home. Every second, the house seems to whisper — floorboards creak, the lights flicker, and the door to the old west wing bangs open and shut on its own. Curiosity outweighs her fear. Lisa walks to the mysterious door. She opens it… and then suddenly, the house shifts. She’s locked inside. The room is cold and bare, its air thick and wrong. A black cat slinks out of the shadows, meowing sharply, its eyes fixed on her like it knows something. Lisa backs into the corner of the vacant room, trembling, unsure of how she got in… or how to get out. She stays there all night, sweating, shivering, waiting for daylight. Bu...
