CHAPTER 2: JENNIE

"Come on, Lisa, let me take the adult sessions."
"No way, Jen. You're stuck with the snobby snotbags this week," Lisa chuckled.
It's Monday morning which means that the activity instructors at 'YG's Outdoor Pursuit Centre' have just been handed their schedules for the upcoming week.
"Please Lisa, you know I'm no good with the posh kids. It's the worst possible way for me to start the week. Be a friend," Jennie pleads with her bottom lip jutting out.
Upon looking at her schedule, Jennie saw that her week is jam packed with session after session of private school kids.
As their supervisor, Jiyong, walks past, Jennie grabs him. "Jiyong, what the hell?" She spits out, holding her rota to his face.
"Good morning to you too, Jennie," he grinned merrily. He knew she would react like this when she saw her rota.
"Good morning my ass! Look at this damn thing! Nothing but spoilt little brats all week!"
"Don't exaggerate, you have an adult paddle boarding on Wednesday afternoon," he teased.
"This is bullshit and you know it!" More whining than any real anger.
"This is out of my hands, Yang made this week's rota's," he counter argued, holding his hands up submissively.
"Why is he doing this to me?"
"Oh... I don't know, Jen. Maybe it's because you reversed your scrap heap of a car into his brand new Cadillac."
"That was an accident and anyway, the insurance company is taking care of it."
"Seems like Yang may disagree with you. You'd better go speak to him," he looks at the clock on the wall. "You'd better be quick about it, first session starts in twenty."
She rushes out, heading straight to Yang's office, knocking confidently on his door when she arrives.
"Come in," a stern voice commands.
"Mr. Yang," Jennie greets with slight annoyance in her voice.
"Ah Miss Kim, I thought I might be seeing you this morning." He replies with a sly grin.
"Mr. Yang?" she repeats, "About this week's rota, why do I have a full week of kid sessions?"
"Well, Miss Kim, it would seem we have several schools booked in this week. Most instructors have extra child sessions."
"Lisa doesn't," she exclaims.
"That's because Miss Manoban sometimes forgets to mind her language in front of the children."
"So this isn't because I backed into your car?" She asked quizzically.
The camp director sighs heavily, "No, Miss Kim, this has nothing to do with that unfortunate incident," he answers sourly.
Mr. Yang wasn't a bad guy but that doesn't mean he couldn't enjoy the young woman's suffering just a little bit.
"Please, Mr. Yang, I'll wash your car for a month... when it's back from the garage," she trails off.
"That won't be necessary, please do stay away from my car."
"There has to be something I can do!"
A large reptilian grin grows on his face at that suggestion. "Now that you mention it, maybe we could come to some sort of an agreement."
Eyeing him suspiciously she asks, "What would you have me do?"
"As you are well aware, next month we begin the adult weekend courses for the new season. I need cover for it and seen as you are so desperate to work with adults..."

"Oh come on, no one likes doing the weekend courses. They are always full of rich, arrogant, city folks with no interest in actually doing anything but taking selfies for their Instagram accounts. Besides, I'm down to do the one the following weekend."

"Exactly my point Miss Kim, I don't have enough staff to cover since no one likes doing them and Neal and Tamara decided to up and leave to go travelling. Two in a row won't be so bad. Don't forget, you get double pay for doing nights over the weekend," he tries to convince her.

"Eugh, fine. So if I do next weekend I'll have a kid free week?"

"No, if you agree to do it I will overlook Miss Manoban's misdemeanor last week and allow you the opportunity to ask her if she will swap with you. It's up to her if she wants to."

After thinking on it for a few moments she nods in the affirmative. She really doesn't fancy a week dealing with private school kids. Even to this day she still feels intimidated by those of privileged backgrounds. They always bullied her the worst. She could also really do with the extra money seen as her insurance premium has just increased.
