Maya and Riley are the best friends in the whole world. They are sisters to each other and daughters to me. But my students underestimate me. A lot. I may be a goof sometimes but I am their teacher. Experienced more. Know more.

I have had a love story myself. An usual one but a beautiful one. So I know when somebody loves somebody.

.. and I know them; more than they know themselves. I observe each and every detail even if I let them blabber in here sometimes. I notice their reactions to my lessons but also those to each other's talks.

.. and most importantly, I see.

I see everything.

I see how the petite blonde turns back and teases the handsome guy behind her when I pretend to not look.

I see how they don't mind each other's banter.

I see how the bickering slowly turns into lowkey flirting.

I see how she doesn't spare any opportunity to come close to his face.

I see how he doesn't move and holds her gaze when she does so.

I see how in his essays , subtle references of her can be pointed out.

I see how he helps her with the homework because I also see the corrections in his handwriting.

I see how her grades are improving and her smile is widening.

I see how she brings her sketchbook to class and immediately tosses it to the seat behind.

I see how a proud smile adorns his face when he flips through the pages.

I see how they pass notes in class.

I see how they smile, giggle and sometimes blush reading them.

I see how he brings her hot chocolate and muffins.. but doesn't tell Riley about it.

I see how he eyes Farkle when he flirts with her.

I see how when in detention he chose Mayaville without any chance of hesitation, he didn't even think about it because he didn't have to.

I see how when they are paired up for projects, it brings out the best in both of them. He takes risks and she does the right thing.

I see how they care for each other and are the first ones to defend the other one when anything happens.

I see how, when he is constantly staring at her blonde hair during the class... the whole time; he smiles, genuinely.

I see how he likes Josh but not with her because I see the change in expression.

I see how Riley looks at them, now not so oblivious of all this.

I see how Riley likes him. so much.

I see how he tells her he likes her too but doesn't exactly stick to his words when he is with her because at that time, others don't matter.

I see how this will lead to problem in the future but I also see their friendship strengthening in the process.

I see how I'll have to protect both their fragile hearts from breaking.

I see how Katy smiles at them knowingly

.. and I see myself doing that too.
