rejection

I was in my freshman year,

my most hated subject was next

on my schedule.

I just hope my professor

will be interesting.

Maybe it was my lucky day

after all,

not only was he interesting,

but good looking too.

If there really exists

love at first sight,

then maybe I was in love.

My most hated subject

became my favourite subject

all because of him.

And that  hero worship

turned into infatuation

or maybe crazy love.

I gathered my guts

to send him a sweet love letter

with all the pouring of young emotions.

Next day, I received a note

in my locker,

thinking that it was a sweet

reply to my letter.

Without reading,

I was daydreaming,

I was floating in air

I was simply ecstatic.

Back to reality,

a few minutes later,

holding the note,

it had read;

“Stop this foolishness,

do something about your grades”.

He took me for a fool,

a blind, lovesick fool.

So this is what it means

to be rejected.

So painful.

His definitely shows how love is cruel :P I can't get over the
'do something about your Grades' XD love this!

[sette]

[LazerRays]

No problem :)

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Amazing how love makes us overcome the things we fear or hate the most- all part of the learning cycle- better is to come🌹

[sette]

hopefully my friend hopefully

Nakakababa talaga minsan ng self confidence iyon rejection.Pero atleast naramdaman natin kung paano kiligin,mainsipred.

[sette]

yon talaga ang bata pa rin niya nung siya ang maging teacher ko math genius talaga 22 lang siya nun

[Eiram]

Ang bata nga,hindi pa naman ako nagkacrush sa titser pero halos nareject na rin ako dahil halos iwasan ako ng malaman ng crush ko na crush ko siya.Pero buti concerned pa rin siya kahit sa masungit na paraan.

[sette]

at least okay na rin yon kaysa prangkahan ka mas masakit yon

[Eiram]

Yep,mas masakit talaga,iyon iwasan ka nga offending na lalo na kung sabihin hindi kita type,pero may tamang tao naman para sa lahat.Gumagawa ka rin ba ng mga kuwentong tagalog?Gusto ko kasi mabasa mga gawa mo.

[sette]

wow tagalog minsan sinubukan ko poem yong memory po pero kuwento taglish siguro pero di diretsong tagalog pero try ko po pag di na masyadong busy

[Eiram]

Salamat,kahit kailan mo gawin.

[sette]

okay po asahan mo iyon

AMAZING! This is so poignantly honest & detailed & palpable! I'm really stunned by the way this comes across, every word, a compelling story. I'm filled with mixed emotions becuz of how it must feel to be in either one's shoes, alternating between compassion & questioning. You know you've written a balanced story when the reader can empathize & criticize both characters! I love it when a writer does not try to plant the conclusion in the reader's mind, but just leading the reader to a place of scrambled pondering! *smile* Fondly, Margie

[sette]

thanks margie for the appreciation..and the understanding too

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good teacher. Can't fool around with the students. I did like the story. I had a few crushes on my pretty teachers. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry and the story.

[sette]

yes i was the fool.. lol thanks my friend for a wonderful review and the insight too.

[Coyote Poetry]

Not a fool. Love make us wish and hope. Crushes are nice. Make our heart dance for a second. You are welcome dear friend.

[HappySad]

Nice writing, But what a devastating way to learn a lesson. Sorry to hear that it turned out that way.

[sette]

experience is still the best teacher i still want to thank him for making me strong and thank you for the understanding and the nice review

[Neville]

You must write out 100 times I have learn't my lesson...........nice bit of self disclosure, maybe......N

[sette]

hahaha will try to do that my friend just hanging out at wc for awhile while waiting for inspiration to continue doing my module...

[Neville]

are you an astronought by any chance........

[sette]

nope my friend i am a teacher.

[Neville]

oops. thought you were referring to your space module.... lesson learned......Neville

[sette]

no problem my friend

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i had a college professor for an English Grammar class...thought there might have been a mutual crush...then she yelled at me for not trying hard enough...i was stunned...i was the second best in the class....the girl who beat me on grades was just BETTER than i was...that was the fact...i would like to think this teacher got on me because she cared---but maybe she was just frustrated with my effort...My freshman English teacher in 1968 was really cute...my friend and i both had a crush on her...and we were going to ask her to lunch...and then at the same time we both saw the engagement ring...crushed again..ha ha.
this brings back memories....

[sette]

at least for you jacob they were happy memories for me with regards to him i consider him a nightmare hahaha.

[Donna]

That is a terrible way for him to handle that! When I was reading the end, I felt the rejection, and its not a good feeling! I'm sorry that this happened.

[sette]

well he was not a nice person to be remembered but i still just want to recall the experience once in a while thanks for caring

[Stella Armour]

well yes, but doesn't every young schoolgirl have a crush on an older man at some stage. He should have been prepared for this in his job and been much more sensitive ... nasty man

[sette]

i was 17 at that time and he was just 21, a fresh graduate and a genius in math, but there is a longer story to that and it gave me goosebumps to just think about it... thanks for the wonderful review and the concern my friend. i appreciate it stella truly.

[Stella Armour]

when doing teacher training he should have been advised on how to deal with teenage crushes... doesn't sound like a nice man anyway lol

[sette]

hahaha.. later i will tell you the whole story why by just remembering him give me goosebumps..
