Sean's pov:
"It looks like you're suitable to become a teacher, I saw you literally can teach children patiently after all." Irwin said.
"You're not the only one who thinks like that Irwin." Julian replied.
"Wait really? I don't think so…" I responded.
These are my friends, Julian and Irwin. We have known each other since we're 4th grade Elite University students, and now we're graduated together. Julian decided to celebrate the graduation at the canteen since his sister, Joni wanted to try the canteen food. Of course, after we graduated, we three started talking about our future jobs.
Julian and Irwin are both already setting their jobs, except me. I studied interior design but I currently still don't have any future goals or plans, also being an actor is not a job that I want. My two friends helped me to find a job, teacher.
Me, Julian and Irwin are going to go back to everyone's home. I was driving the car, while Julian and Irwin were arguing like two 6 year old kids behind my driving seat. I'm counted as "the oldest member is a trio" since I entered the adult society earlier than they two, I was already used to the job experiences.

Finally, the December Holidays started. First, I saw Julian go to the lawyer's office for an interview. Next, I saw Irwin is still doing his job in his uncle's animal clinic. Besides, I'm a complete adult, but I'm the only one who doesn't have a goal.
I went to my bedroom and lay on the pure white colour bed. I smacked my forehead and still confused about my future plans since I've graduated. I lingered around my bedroom and I felt a little bit panicked. All three of my sisters are famous after all, while I'm currently jobless, I felt quite ashamed. After that I heard a phone ring, somebody called me.
"Hello?"
"Oh hey my Seanyboy! I'm calling you to congratulate you on your graduation!"
"Uh…yeah thanks third sister…"
"Um sis may I ask you how did I find a jo-"
"Oh wait someone is calling me and I have to focus on my job goodbye!"
"..."
Well, I forgot I'm just an ordinary guy, I'm not quite having any extraordinary talent, maybe except cooking.
"It looks like you're suitable to become a teacher."
Maybe a teacher? I opened my laptop and looked for the nearest school around my neighbourhood, Sacred Hearts Primary School. The school is just going to hire 3 teachers, I wonder if I can be one of them. I wrote an email for hiring to the school official account, now the only thing I can do is just wait for the response. The school replied to me within 6 hours.
The school emails said that I can go to school tomorrow for a teacher interview. I'm quite shocked, for other people they might have to wait for 48 hours to get the reply, beside mine it is quick. Probably I'm the first one who is asking for hiring? I wrote the email at 6:15pm, the school replied to me at 9:57pm.
I think I'm ready to go for an interview.
I looked at the clock and it was showing 10:00pm. *Yawned* I have to go to sleep.

The interview is going to start at 10:00am. What a great time to awake, I woke up and went to press the clock button, now it's 8:00am. Not including making a bed or washing up, I mostly spend my time on preparing breakfast and eating them. I even make myself a 3 tiers pancake with butter and honey toppings, because I like this food.
I used to take meals and use my phone at the same time. I opened my phone and watched social media for a while. I saw Julian posted a reel about he's on the way to lawyer office, also Irwin posted a story about he still getting torture by his uncle, I giggled quietly at Irwin's story.
9:10am, I've finished my breakfast. After washing dishes I instantly grabbed my backpack from the chair beside the place I sat. My residence floor is not quite high in the apartment, I go down to the lobby and greet the guard.
"Hey Good Morning Mr. Sean, where are you going?" The guard greeted me back.
"I'm now going to Sacred Hearts Primary School for an interview!"
"Sacred Hearts Primary School? It's a quite popular school in this neighbourhood…" It looks like the guard is surprised.
"Anyways thanks for greeting me for a while, I have to go now!"
"Good luck for your interview!" The guard waved hand at me.
Twenty minutes later, 9:35am, I arrived at Sacred Hearts Primary School. I was supposed to arrive 15 minutes earlier but since there's some hindrance on the halfway to school. I looked at the watch and it shows the current now.
"Oh thank god…I thought I'm going to be late."
It's been many years since I haven't stepped into my old school. Yeah I was going to this school once to pick up the Amnesia Joni, but that time the school guard prohibited me from entering the school.
"The school wasn't that big when I was studying here…" I looked around the school, there're a lot of flowers and trees in the garden, even the foyer was upgraded to bigger.
"Oi what are you doing here?" The school guard suddenly appeared behind me and pressed my left shoulder gently with his index finger.
"I-"
"No need to explain! Please get out of this place right now!"
"Remember that I told you to make sure they're actually going to meet Mr. Shen? I even gave you the pictures of the hiring teachers." A man's voice appeared far away from the school garden.
"Tut, lucky you." Looks like the school guard felt grossed to me a lot right now.
Who is he? He's wearing a white T-shirt with a dark blue jacket, probably a PE teacher. He has messy brown hair, and he is probably the same height as me.
"Hey stop staring, you can go in now." The brown hair teacher told me. As he said, I ran into the waiting room, which is outside the headmaster's office.
---
Few minutes later, Mrs. Lawson called me to come in. I entered the headmaster's office, but I saw that the PE teacher mentioned the so-called "Mr. Shen" wasn't here.
"Sorry but Mrs. Lawson, where is the headmaster?"
"I'm behind you!" Suddenly that's an old guy's voice came from my back.
"Mr. Shen! You're the headmaster and please stop scaring the hired teacher!" Mrs. Lawson said.
"Well, that's the way I used to be to activate the teenagers' spirit and make sure they're awake!" Mr. Shen walked to his headmaster's seat. "I started using this way when I was still a young adult."
Without wasting time, my interview began.
An hour later
"Your interview is finished, it's good but let me go to the toilet for a while. Also, you can go now." Mr. Shen slipped down from the chair and went out of the office.
"He always likes to use his conventional ways since many years ago…" Mrs. Lawson sighed.
"Mrs. Lawson, what does it mean?" I was puzzled.
"Ugh…that's his usual way to tell his hired teachers that they passed the interview. Ah, you can start your teacher role next term. You can go home now." I smiled, I bowed to Mrs. Lawson politely to thank her.
