Today I screamed.  
A scream that caused my students to say "Does anyone know why Teacher Emily is screaming?", 
which gave me just the nano-second I needed to ask the room full of girls to 
Please.
Stop. 
Talking.  
They laughed.  
After school they painted my nails
and giggled at the color.
I returned to my classroom and found a note.
Dear Teacher Emily,
I love you.
Sorry for being loud.
Love,
A Middle Schooler
that. is. precious.
