( inside the lodge upstairs)

O'Bannon: Hey Fentress, so are you ready to start up working here again, by the way why did you choose Hannah to work with you. Out of all the applications I showed you?

Fentress: Yep I'm ready, its gonna take a bit of time to get used to the weather again but its all good. And I chose Hannah because she knows the ropes more than most people and we need the most help we can get.

O'Bannon: Okay well she should be here soon, do you have anything else you want to talk about?

Fentress: Yes my only request for coming back is that me and Hannah have the same time off, so we can work on our relationship. We didn't leave off on a good note, last time we spoke.

O'Bannon: Okay I can do that for you. Have a great day!

( Fentress heads out of the lodge down to campsite)

(25 minutes later Hannah walks into the lodge. Hannah hugs Brittany O'Bannon.)

O'Bannon: Hya Hannah, how have you been. I got your letter about your leg and I reviewed it and you are fine as long as it doesn't affect the group. Same goes with the tattoos. If the girls make them important you know what to do.

Hannah: I have been good and yeah my leg feels like it never left. So what group will I be in and I floating around. Damn I got a lot a questions, also how many girls will I be working with and staff.

O'Bannon: Its okay to have a lot of questions, that's what I am here for. You will be in sequoia, again. There are 6 girls in Sequoia and 3 other group leaders. A past staff just came back today, we need coverage and well experience. But the group is in campsite excited to meet you and I will walk down there with you.

(Hannah grabs her book bag off the floor and shakes her head okay in agreement)

Hannah (POV)

I start walking down the logging road with Ms. O'Bannon, well now I can call her by her first name. I cant believe I am back here, I liked missed this place so bad since I left. I am almost to the campsite when O'Bannon stops me.

" Wait Hannah they are probably in group meeting so you can just hang your things in the ditty bag tent and join, I have to run back up to the lodge because I forgot that I have a call coming in at 11" she says turning back down the trial. " Have fun with your new group Hannah, you deserve it"

I look at my watch and it is 10:52 am, I look back down the trail to see O'Bannon running in the distance. I start to walk into campsite and hear the voices of my new group. I cant see what they look like yet but I set my things down in the ditty bag tent. I look over to the group meeting tent and a girl with light brown hair comes up to me. I am guessing she is a group leader because last time I checked students couldn't just get up out of a group meeting.

Hensley: (whispering) Hi I am Caroline Hensley, You must be Hannah. I have been working here for 8 months, I know you know this place way better then me. but yeah you should come join the group meeting.

Hannah (POV)

"Hi and sure I would love to join the group meeting" I whisper back to her. I walk behind her into the group meeting tent. As I am walking into the tent I trip over the log.' Great first impression Hannah' I think to myself. I take a seat on the log next to Hensley and scan the group meeting tent.

Before I knew it I became very emotional on the inside. Brittany Fentress is sitting in the group meeting with me. she meets eyes with me while she speaks and I become very angry. But on the outside I looked as if she didn't faze me one bit.

Fentress: (directly to Hannah) Like I was saying to the group, I have worked here before for 3 years and I have came back to be a extra helpful hand.

Hensley: Okay so we are going to do introductions one more time so Ms. Kinser can know all your names then we will head up and have some ready logs time before lunch. who wants to go first.

Hannah: Okay so its my turn, I am going to kind of take my own spin on this thing. I am Ms. Kinser I am 22 years old. I live in Charlottesville, something I want to throw out there is I used to be in your guys place. I was a passed student here and now here to be a role model for you all. Ms. Fentress used to be my group leader. I am telling you these things because I do not want any questions about it. I am here to help you grow with areas you struggle with. but also I am not here to boss you all around. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and getting to know you all. Also fun fact about me is that I was in the military for a year.
