I haven't worked at the school in 3 weeks now. I promised that I would return for a visit (and volunteer work if my schedule permitted). I have not done this yet, and honestly, I assumed that I would be forgotten pretty quickly. I was wrong... concerning one student anyway.
I got a text from a high school friend that works there saying, "When can M call you from my phone?" I responded that I was free to do so anytime that day. A couple hours later, M called me from her phone. He told me he missed me. He told me he got a new teacher (news to me... apparently there was a debacle concerning her license). He told me they found somebody new to replace me and that he only liked her a LITTLE. He also told me that his leg hurt today so he wrapped it up and is only wearing one shoe.
My friend got back on the phone after he needed to return to class and told me that he felt that I didn't care about him since I hadn't returned yet. She, of course, felt the need to rectify this by letting him call me. Adorable. I miss him (and many others) dearly. I told her to give his family my phone number in case they need a babysitter sometime! :)
