Proved my friend wrong. I do respect my teacher and I like the way he teaches the class but my friend took my words and created rumors of me loving my teacher and I was WTH(what the heck)?! And my English teacher came in and kind of gave them a face palm as she said " Are you all primary students? You don't even know the difference between like and love? If you like someone doesn't mean you love someone." We had a good laugh though, hope none of you have embarrassed yourself because of this two words ><
