the teacher: all grown up

whos that face

I am still walking up the road, still looking at that face, still wondering who that person is and why his face is so familiar, then he looks up and sees me and smiles and gives me a quick wave, I act like I didnt see him and I just completely blank him.

I walk to the reception, "hi im Rose, im here for the interview". The woman looks up at me and examines me, and she picks up the phone "hello Jane, theres like a chavy looking person standing here asking about the interview, so like what do I say, yeah ok, yeah, 'hold on". She puts the phone to her chest,"sorry love whats your name again?".

"Rose"

"Yeah im still here, she says her names Rose shall I take her through to you Jane? Ok sure, alright".she puts the phone down and now turns to me ."right so Jane will be here in a minute, if you just take a seat". I sit down. This place hasnt even changed a bit, right now my minds just filling with memories and pictures. When a woman in a black suit walks through the door and towards me, "I believe you are Rose?" I nod. " well then Rose follow me there has been a change of plan you are not applying for the teaching job no more but a TA position (teaching assistant) and you will be working with Mr Ashton Irwin who is the head of music here at Jane Green High School".

"Ok so when will I be taking the interview?".

"Well im showing you around the school first, I believe you used to go to school here", I nod, "but this school has changed quite a bit since you have been here we have a state of the art modern kitchen now and ......." I start to drift away and start to look around at everything, I walk past a classroom and look through the window and i notice a a face working at the printer, its that face the face from this morning, the face from my blackouts the face I see in the mirror the face I want to forget. Suddenly something touches my arm "yes so as I was saying we are going to to interview now". I look back through the window hes gone the face has gone.

We walk about 5mins still with Jane talking in my ear , when we stop at a room, "so if we go in here and we can start the interview, so if you sit down and I will be back in a minute". I sit down and take out my phone and scroll through my instagram page, when I get a text , I open it. "Hey I saw you today and you look amazing, you have grown so beautiful and I still dont understand why you left because we could have been a family xxx ". Omg who is this and how did they get my number, wait whoever this person is must be the person whos face I slightly remember and name I forgot but who is he?.
