is it normal that i wish my teacher loved me like a daughter

I really like a teacher at school but I don't think she knows and I really wanna tell her cause I really like her and I'm a shy person so I dont have confidence although I do smile at her and say Hi but I wanna be close so she likes me but I don't have the confidence to talk to her more! She is really really nice and she's really funny and her smile is so heart warming! My best friend likes her to and they do talk loads but she don't like her as much as me she has a different favourite teacher and i just feel sad why can't i have the same amount of confidence as her? I like her loads and her name is Vicki which makes it cool! X Please leave comments I know what to do and if anyone is in the same position as me please leave a comment i just wanna know what people think! She don't teach me this year but she did last year and I don't know if I should make her a hand made card for her birthdy In November or not? It might be a bit awrkward! But I do really like her loads! What do h think?x
