Does my teacher trust me anymore?
The other day, I had asked to go to the bathroom during class, and my teacher had said yes. After I went to the bathroom, I noticed that my locker was open. When I went to close it, I noticed that the binder I needed for the class I was in was still in my locker, meaning that in my hurry to get to class, I had grabbed the wrong binder (my locker is right across from the restrooms). I got my binder, along with a textbook, and went back to class. Evidently my teacher thought that I had lied about going to the bathroom and had gone to my locker instead. He was angry with me (everyone was staring). I felt horrible because my favorite teacher thought I was a liar. After class, he apologized for seeming harsh, and he told me that he wasn't mad and he wasn't giving me a detention. Somewhat relieved, I wished him a merry Christmas and left. I still can't help but worry about
it. I feel like I unintentionally have hurt him and myself, and that he hasn't fully forgiven me for his idea of a crime. What should I do?
(Sorry it's a bit long...)

You are over thinking the problem. For a teacher to go out of their way to apologize says he knew he was wrong for yelling at you. When he had time to think more clearly he understood you where not lying and that he made things right by not giving you detention.
I can't think of what more proof you would need to know that in your teachers mind this issue is over and forgotten. He is not hurt only you are by over thinking the incident.
Relax and enjoy the holiday break.

To be blunt you are making a mountain out of a molehill here. You told him what you were doing, he didn't believe you at first but at the end of the day he apologized and that should have been it. It clearly isn't on his mind anymore nor should it be on yours.
I'm sure that he doesn't think of you as a liar either. You're beating yourself up over nothing as to him it's not this big an issue. It won't affect his relationship with you unless you do something else he would have issue with.

You've told him the truth, so just put it to the back of your mind. Maybe he did shout at you at the time, but he did apologize for it. You never know, he could have been having a bad day and that's why he was angry at you for something quite minor. Remember, teachers are human too. Don't let it stress you out. If he didn't care, he wouldn't have said sorry - so at least you know he didn't mean it. and that's a good thing to know.
