I Googled My Teacher And Found Out Her Biggest Secret

hi everyone i'm jillian one day in music class our teacher miss atkins said folks we decided to start a band here at school we have many students who play an instrument and most are good enough to perform the only thing we're missing is a singer everyone looked at each other when miss atkins said come on guys i'm sure some of you can sing we can't have a band without a singer i reluctantly raised my hand i sang a song which everyone loved and that's how i became the singer of the school band to a round of applause it was miss atkins first year at the school we all really liked her from day one even though she always wears her sunglasses in class she's definitely not a snob she's always friendly to us she told us she has a problem with her eyes and light makes her extremely uncomfortable that's why she has to wear sunglasses all the time since her sunglasses make her look even cooler i'm sure most of the guys in our class are in love with her that night i told my mom about what happened at school unfortunately she said honey that's wonderful news but your teacher will definitely want you to go to rehearsals you don't have the time my mom was right i didn't think of that my dad passed away two years ago after that we've had a rough time financially my dad had taken out a large mortgage from the bank my mom had to start working immediately after making the monthly mortgage payment we don't have much money left so i got a job working at a grocery store after school if we can't pay back the loan the bank will foreclose on our house that's why my mom and i both have to work the following day i told my teacher about all this jillian you're our singer i also know that you really want to do this i'll talk to your bandmates and we can rehearse whenever is good for you have your mother stop by the school i'll talk to her and reassure her that it's going to be okay my mom came to the school a few days later i took her to miss atkin's office when she met her my mom said you look so familiar i feel like i definitely know you but i can't figure out from where miss atkins got really nervous i don't think so i just moved to this city and before that i lived abroad for a long time she said my mom wanted to try to figure it out but miss adkins clearly didn't want to talk about it up until then miss atkins had been very warm but suddenly she changed she seemed to want to quickly get rid of my mom in fact within a few minutes she got up to leave saying i have class my mom was totally shocked by her behavior why did she panic like that when i told her she looked familiar to me i'm sure she's hiding something it's obvious from the way she's wearing sunglasses inside she said i told her there was something wrong with her eyes but she wasn't buying it that night when i came home from work i was so tired i went to bed really early in the middle of the night my mom woke me up she said jillian i figured out how i know your teacher i said mom couldn't you wait till the morning and she said i'm going to give you a name i want you to look it up online she replied my mom is really bad with technology she can't even use a smartphone i turned on my laptop and opened google she told me the name of a very famous old singer whom i sometimes listen to mom what does this man have to do with miss atkins i asked her but she did not reply because he is super famous google has thousands of results my mom said show me a picture of him i went to google images and clicked on an image look at that his head is huge but the ears are tiny just like your teacher she said i burst out laughing mom i can't believe you let's say they both have tiny ears what's wrong with that i asked my mom started explaining as if she were a detective about 20 years ago there was a huge scandal involving the singer he slept with a woman even though he was married they never saw each other again one day the woman showed up at his house with a five-year-old girl and told him this is your daughter the man accused her of lying and told her to get out on tv shows they always compared the ears of the singer and the little girl and said you don't see ears this small very often she's definitely his daughter i was so sleepy mom that's really interesting but even if miss atkins is his daughter that's none of our business i'm going back to bed but she said no this is our business we can pay off our whole mortgage thanks to this then she went on to explain further the girl's mother sued the man the dna test proved that he was her father the guy still did not accept her he never wanted to see her but in the years that followed a lot of bad things happened to him his wife even died in a car accident since he was religious he thought god must be punishing me he wanted to find his daughter and apologize to her he looked for her but couldn't find neither her nor her mother he said i'll give a big reward to anyone who can tell me where they are i'm sure that's on the internet as well i googled the guy's name again this time adding the word reward there really were many news stories he promised a million dollars to anyone who helped him find his daughter but recently since he was losing all hope he raised it to 10 million dollars when my mom heard the amount she screamed when she calmed down she said jillian there's another very important thing it was reported on the news that the little girl had a rare genetic feature her eyes were different colors one was blue and the other brown now do you understand why miss atkins is always wearing sunglasses she's hiding her eyes to avoid being recognized my mom's detective instincts worked and finally she convinced me too it sounded like miss atkins could really be the singer's missing daughter but i still didn't want to make things difficult for her mom please if she wants to run away from her dad let's let her be i'm sure she's got her reasons for it i said my mom didn't want to listen to me jillian come on i'd do anything for 10 million dollars but i want to be sure it's really her before i get in touch with her father i need to see that she really has different colored eyes after that we'll be rich i asked how do you plan to do it and she said simple i'm coming to school tomorrow to look at her eyes then my mom went to her room i started to cry no matter how much i protested she was clearly going to go ahead with this all this was definitely going to hurt my teacher i was so worried the next day at school i was walking around really confused then i got a text from my mom she was about to arrive at the school a few minutes later she was there as we were going to miss atkin's office my legs were shaking from anxiety when miss atkins saw us she smiled what a nice surprise welcome back she said unlike me my mom was really calm miss adkins after our meeting i thought this over jillian loves singing it's a great opportunity for her to be the singer of the school band i'm here to thank you for that she said of course she was lying just as ms atkins was saying i'm so glad to hear that my mom suddenly grabbed her sunglasses and pulled them off my teacher was looking at my mom in shock my mom's face gave away her huge disappointment because both of miss atkins eyes were brown if she really were the singer's daughter one of her eyes would be blue and the other one brown my mom was embarrassed she didn't know what to say i i just wanted to see your eyes she said and gave back the sunglasses miss adkins put them back on i would have shown them to you if you'd have asked she said what my mom did was obviously very weird at that moment neither of us knew what to say or how to react my mom just said i'm so sorry and quickly left the room after my mom left miss atkins began to laugh like crazy laughter is contagious so i started laughing too for a while we just laughed she kept saying i i just wanted to see your eyes imitating my mom and continuing to laugh when we calmed down she said it's going to take a while for your mom to overcome this shock actually i was really surprised too because i believed my mom and i really thought you had different colored eyes i replied miss atkins smiled and took off her sunglasses then she took a small mirror that was lying on her table and turned it to face her looking in the mirror she removed a contact lens from one of her eyes when she turned to me i screamed no way because indeed one of her eyes was blue and the other one brown these are my real eyes the medical term for it is heterochromia it's a very rare condition i love my differently colored eyes but unfortunately i have to wear these black sunglasses so that i don't get recognized she said suddenly she got emotional a tear fell onto her cheek she said to me jillian thank you for calling me last night and telling me about what your mother wanted to do if i hadn't known about it she would have definitely caught me today i was so happy that i'd called up miss atkins and told her about everything after my mom went to sleep i did it because i knew that i wouldn't be able to stop my mom moreover i liked hearing that my teacher found a new way to hide her eye color as a result of this normally i don't wear contact lenses i can actually wear a colored lens instead of sunglasses i'd never thought about it really after talking to you and finding out about what happened i thought long and hard about what i should do at first i thought about running away i could disappear again like i've been doing for years but then i had this contact lens idea in the morning i went and bought a couple of brown lenses and put one of them on my blue eye when your mom saw both of my eyes were the same color she'd realized she was wrong and leave me alone and it all went just as i planned there was something else i was dying to know why are you running away from your father he loves you so much he's willing to give away 10 million dollars i said and my teacher's eyes welled up i don't think he loves me at all i think he's just afraid that god is punishing him and only wants to find me to atone for his sins you get used to everything i'm used to not having a father i don't need him anymore after school i went to work like i always do that evening when i came back home my mom was doing the dishes without saying a word she gave me a hug she was crying i knew then that she regretted what she did to miss atkins i gave her a kiss on the cheek i said you're a good person i love you and i know that you love me too and this makes me so happy you
