• Somebody told me he loved me on the train today.
• What? For real?
• Yup! And I think there was a misunderstanding between me and him.
• A misunderstanding?
• You know, I work as a high school teacher and talk to my kids on the train, right?
• Well, that's normal.
• Yeah, it is. They are my students, so we talk when I see them. But, that's how this started...
• I really don't understand what you are trying to say.
• Well, the thing is the person who declared his love was...a high school boy.
• W～ haaat?
• Yeah, I know...
• Why you?
• I really don't know. But, suddenly he came to me and told me that he likes me. He just handed me a letter and ran away.
• Puppy love, huh?
• Don't make fun of me!
• Ok...sorry. What did the letter say?
• Well, it said something like, ‘‘I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. I see you talking with your friends on your way to school everyday. I would like to go out with you if it is OK.’’
• Train to school? Talking with friends?
• Yeah! He thought I was talking to my friends when I was really talking with my students...
• But it's almost impossible to think about you as a high school kid, even if you do look younger.
• I absolutely agree with you.
• How can he think a 35 year old lady is a high school student? Hmm... this might mean that you are secretly popular among your students.
• Leave me alone!
