This one's a quickie (ha, ha). 

I found it kinda weird that we're in close-third person narration, sticking with Eli's point of view, and the narrative never shifts to calling the love interest by his first name. That was my main quibble, though; otherwise it's pretty cute, and tries to handle the teacher/student thing carefully.
