Journey, Ohio. I thought to myself. Oh sorry, introductions, my name is Ned, Ned Preston. I moved from Watertown, South Dakota because I got a new job as a teacher, well not until I have had my interview, anyway, I'm 22, average height and weight, dark, brown hair, ocean blues eyes, and some people, even I, say I'm pretty muscular.

Today, as I had already said, I have an interview at Journey Ohio High School, or J.O.H.S, with the principal, obviously. I stepped outside, in my black suit and heard a small giggle. Mr. Jeremy Larson. I thought. And that small snake. I opened my truck door and, just as I thought, the small snake jumped out of the truck. I wasn't even scared but I jumped for the sake of letting Jeremy have some fun and indeed he did have fun because he laughed harder, until his mom called him.

"Jeremy," Mrs. Larson said standing behind him. "Go apologize." Jeremy does as he was told.

"I'm sorry Mr. Preston," Jeremy said in a small voice. I knelt down to be eye level with him.

"It's quite alright Junior," I said winking, Jeremy smiled his bright smile and ran off to the house. I stood up and watched him run away thinking about when I was that young and doing stupid stuff.

"I'm really sorry about Jeremy doing that to you every morning lately, Mr. Preston." Mrs. Larson said bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked at her.

"Oh no it's okay, he's just a boy and you know what they say 'Boys will be boys'. I was his age one as well, I've done the same thing, he'll grow out of it soon." I said trying not to be mean.

"Okay, well still, I'm sorry for him. Well, I've gotta go, see you later, Mr. Preston.'

"Ned, ma'am, call me Ned."

"Alright, have a nice day... Ned." She said, I bowed my head at her and she walked away, back into her house, closing the door behind her. I put my stuff into the truck and headed to the school.

When I finally found and made it to the school, I instantly went to the office after I had found it. Took me a while but I found it. The moment I stepped in my nose filled with many smells like black coffee, french vanilla, school smells, and perfume. The walls were white with red splashes of paint that made a face of a Shark. I look to the lady that was sitting in a chair looking at me like she was mad or something.

"Sorry, what?" I asked her.

"I said, what can I help you with?" She repeated angrily.

"Oh yes, Interview with Brian Masterson?" I say, she looked at her desk, then back at me.

"Preston?" She questioned. I nodded. "Follow me." We walked a little bit down a hallway then she stopped and knocked on one of the doors.

"Who is it?" I heard a low male voice ask through the closed door. The lady opened the door.

"Mr. Preston is here for you," she said moving out of the way for me to look in. I saw it was just a small office, kind of like the main office but duller. I see pictures of his wife and kids with all the other essential things you see in an office. I look at Mr. Masterson and the small group of people around him as I walk into the office, taking a seat in front of him, while the lady closes the door after she leaves.

"Hello. Mr. Preston, Sir." I introduce myself, he seems to be looking right through my soul.

"Hello, how's your morning?" He spoke fluently but securely, the people looked from him to me then back to him

"Good, you?"

"Fine," He said. "So how about the job?"

"Yes, I came because of the ad that I saw you had posted out."

"And you wanted to be the new gym teacher?" A guy on the other side spoke up, making Masterson and I break eye contact and look at him.

"Yes, sir," I said confidently, slightly nodding my head at him.

"Why do you want to be a gym teacher?" A woman asked I looked at her.

"I love running in my spare time and I have always wanted to teach my own class or have my own gym to be able to help people stay in shape and healthy," I said and looked back to Mr. Masterson. He sat there with his hands folded in front of him and a stern look on his face. "I have always been the type to lead when I need and follow when I'm supposed too. I will be very grateful if I was allowed on your team of the staff. I will be a hard, confident worker and won't do anything bad or dangerous." Mr. Masterson looked pleased with my answer and held his hand out to me.

"Welcome to the team, Mr. Preston." He said with a smile, standing up as I took his hand and shook it. 

"Thank you," I said. "This'll be a great thing, Mr. Masterson." He showed me around the school, nothing major yet until two weeks.

"Please, call me Brian, all the staff does." He said correcting me. I nodded to him for his correction. "Well, I've gotta get home my wife will be wondering where I am, thank you for your time Mr. Preston."

"Your welcome," I said and watched him walk out the front doors. I left the school 20 minutes after him and went home. I start in two weeks and want to start now on to see if I have everything I need. I want to be the best that these students had ever seen. I want to be tern but I also want to be strict but not too strict. I'm so excited to start.
