One Year Later...

I finished spraying on the peach scented perfume and turned to check my outfit in the mirror one last time.

Today was my interview for the kindergarten teaching position. I had just graduated college with a bachelor's in early childhood education.

To say I was nervous was an understatement, I was freaking petrified.

Would I get the job? And if I did, would my students like me? What about my coworkers? Would they think I am a nice person or an annoying one?

I would have to make sure to leave a good impression on them. I'm not the best when it comes to meeting others though, so I usually keep to myself. I can't do that forever, just staying in and reading Wattpad. Yeah, that life shall only be for the weekends and any spare time I find myself having.

Grabbing my purse and slipping my phone into it, I say goodbye to my pets and lock the front door behind me.

"Alright let's go to school." I quietly mumble to myself while getting into my little car and looking out the window as I back out of the driveway.

A few minutes later I was pulling into the school's parking lot. It was fairly empty; only a few cars littered the dark pavement since it was just 7:10 in the morning.

I slowly got out of the car and reached for my purse when a vehicle parked beside mine. My gaze that I couldn't seem to control, watched as a quite handsome young looking man stepped out of the car and shut the driver side door behind him.

"Oh good morning. Are you a parent?" The man asked, turning to me with a warm smile as he locked his car.

I snapped out of the dazed state. "Oh! Good morning, I'm actually a soon-to-be-teacher- I'm here for an interview." I kindly correct him with a shy smile.

His eyes widened and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand. I nervously watched as he held out his other hand for me to shake.

"I'm so sorry! Hi, I'm Namjoon." He shook my hand with a firm grip and sent another heartwarming smile.

This time there were deep dimples in his cheeks. I internally smiled and felt the urge to poke them.

"Hi I'm Luna. That's totally fine, but do you mind showing me to the office? I'm supposed to meet with the principal." I released his hand and adjusted the strap of my purse on my shoulder.

"Oh you mean Jimin? Sure follow me." He nodded to the front doors and we walked in silence.

As soon as he opened the door for me all hell broke loose.

"I fucking quit. Tell those little demons that they can rot in hell!" A woman's voice screams from somewhere inside the building.

I met Namjoon's gaze and we both jumped at the sound of a door slamming shut.

A young looking man with dark brown hair and doe shaped-eyes, pokes his head out from the corner of the wall and smiles over at us.

"Oh- Jungkook, is Mia at it again?" Namjoon says from beside me.

Jungkook stifles a laugh and excitedly nods his head 'yes'. His dark eyes go over to me and he curiously tilts his head at me, silently asking who the heck I was.

"Hi I'm Luna." I say watching him walk over to us.

He didn't even get to say his name before a shorter woman speedily made her way down the hall and roughly shoved him out of her way. The poor guy trips over his own feet as the woman glares at us and slams her hands on the door handle.

"Stupid fucks." She swears and disappears down the sidewalk.

"Are you okay there?" I ask the man.

He shoots me a reassuring smile. "Oh yeah she's always like that. This isn't the first time Mia's pushed me." Jungkook sadly sighs with a weak shake of the head.

We awkwardly stand there for a moment before a voice from the office speaks out. I literally almost died on the spot, nobody told me heart attacks would be possible when being an elementary teacher. How many freaking gorgeous men work here?!

"Hello ma'am? Please tell me you're Ms. Luna" His eyes sparkled in the fluorescent lights above our heads. I nodded my head and he sighs with a look of hope swirling in his dark eyes

"I know we were supposed to have your interview, but can you start the job today?"

Today. Oh my god.

"U-uh yeah. That's no problem." I smile. But on the inside I'm literally dying. I'm not ready. I wasn't supposed to start until next week and that was if I even got the job.

"Alright I'll show you around. The kids should start arriving in the gym in a few minutes so we have to be fast."

Jimin showed me the cafeteria, the library, nearby bathrooms and then finally led me to my classroom. It was beautiful and very big, maybe I have a large class. I spun in a circle to take in the whole room. It was a light yellow color and had a few posters hanging, they looked old. I frowned. This room needs some new decoration, nothing I can't handle. A few artwork from my students should do just the trick.

"So I hope you and students get along well. Our last teacher just quit, but I don't think the children will miss her- she was sort of mean with them. Anyways if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or the other teachers." His eyes crinkled as he smiled and I smiled right back, thanking him.

He then left the room and I took another look around my classroom. To the left of the classroom was a small restroom and a row of windows that was also where a few computers were. In the middle of the room were five round tables that seat four students each. Then to the right side was my desk and a closet for which I assumed their backpacks would go.

"Oh Luna?"

I jumped in my spot and turned to the voice. Namjoon waved me over to the doorway. As I neared him I saw another man standing behind him. It was the same guy that the woman bumped into- Jungkook.

"Sorry to scare you, but it's time to get the kids." He chuckled, gaining the man's attention behind him.

"I'm Jungkook, the P.E. teacher. It's nice to meet you, Luna." He shook my hand.

"So are you excited to meet your students?" Jungkook asked looking over at me as the three of us made our way to the gym.

"Oh I'm really nervous to meet them, I really want them to like me."

"You look pretty young to be a teacher, how old are you?" Namjoon questioned slowing his pace down for me. I had shorter legs than both of them so one step for them was at least two for me. I sped up a bit more.

  "I'm 22 years old. Fresh out of college."

They both turned towards me with surprised looks. Were they impressed? I wondered to myself.

"Wow that's cool! Jungkook here is also 22. Don't worry too much I'm sure the kids will love you. You seem like a really nice person, I think we'll get along really well." Namjoon spoke with a joyful tone and opened the door to the gym.

My eyes drifted over the many children sitting in straight lines in their designated class spots. I wondered which group of kids were mine. I really couldn't wait to meet them, even though I was nervous I had a feeling today would be a good day.
