Two or three days ago, I was walking down the hallway in my high school after school. Then, I happened to meet a student and she talked to me.
She said to me,"Hello, teacher. What are you doing?"
Truly, she often says something negative for someone, so I've been little scared her.
"I am just going back to the teachers room. Are you on your club now?", I said.
"Yeah. Teacher! I want to see the spirit photographs in your mobile phone! Please see me!"
I have some spirit pictures given from the graduates, so I showed them to her. While seeing them, she yelled "So scared!!! Why do you have such pictures!?"
After that, we chatted for a while in the hallway, and I noticed I felt relieved while talking with her. However, I don't know why. It was wonderful time for me anyway.

２～３日前、ぼくは学校の廊下を歩いていました。そのとき、偶然、一人の生徒に出くわし、彼女はぼくに話しかけてきました。
彼女は「こんにちは、先生。何してるんですか？」と言いました。
正直なところ、彼女はしばしば周囲の人に向かって否定的なことを言うので、ぼくはちょっとビクビクしていました。
ぼくは「ちょうど職員室に戻るところだよ。今は部活？」と返事をしました。
「はい。先生！先生の携帯の心霊写真が見たいの！見せて！」
ぼくは、卒業生から心霊写真をもらって持っていたので、それを彼女に見せてあげました。彼女はそれを見ながら「恐い～！！！どうしてこんなのを持っているの！？」と絶叫していました。
その後、ろうかでおしゃべりをしていたのですが、その間、ぼくは自分がすごくリラックスしていることに気がつきました。理由はわからないのですが、ともかく、それは不思議な時間でした。

Honestly, she often says something negative to the people around her; so I've been little scared her.
Are you on your way to club now?" I said.
I want to see those ghost photos on your mobile phone!
Please show me!"
I received some ghost photos from the graduates; so I showed them to her.
While seeing them she yelled, "How scary!!!
After that, we chatted for a little while more in the hallway. And I noticed I felt relief while talking with her.
Anyway, it was wonderful time for me.
I'm glad you two found common interest (:
Can I ask a question? You corrected the later sentence "I felt relieved ***" to "I felt relief ***", and I don't know when I should use "feel relieved" and when I should use "feel relief". What is the difference between "feel relieved" and "feel relief".
If you are OK, please explain to me.
The exact definitions, but not including all meanings, are:
To relieve is to make more endurable something causing discomfort or distress: "that misery which he strives in vain to relieve"
relief - the condition of being comfortable or relieved (especially after being relieved of distress); "he enjoyed his relief from responsibility";
I chose 'relief' because it seems that you became more comfortable talking to your student instead of enduring to talk to your student.
However relief/relieve is a weird word.
I felt relief to know.
I felt relief knowing.
I felt relief to find out.
I felt relieved to know.
I felt relieved knowing.
I felt relieved to find out.
All of these sentences are grammatically correct. And they all convey the pretty much the same meaning.
Another fact is that relieve is the only verb I can think of that can have another verb next to it that isn't the copula "to be" verb.
Example: felt relieved vs. did relieve
