I feel so stupid about this.........?

Ok well obviously everyone is back in school now (being October and all) and everything is already all messed up but I think I might be making my life a little more complicated right now. There's this new teacher in our school (which just happens to be my homeroom teacher). I didn't like him at first because he seemed really strict and (not trying to be mean or anything but) really weird too. Just recently I think I started to like him! I feel so stupid liking a TEACHER! I feel like I'm six again having a crush on one of my brother's friends! Obviously I'm not six (I'm 14 1/2) but this is starting to creep me out! This teacher is only 10 years older than me (24) so it's not like I'm crushing on some 50 year old guy! Well anyways (sorta got sidetracked) my question is, is there any way to make these feelings go away?!?! I hate it because when I'm around him I start feeling all weird and stuff. I know I've heard people say "you can't control who you like" but I'm trying to find a way around this! I REALLY like him and I think if this continues it might start affecting my school work too! Please help! 10 points to whoever is most helpful!!
