After the debacle of copy editor Will Thompson's last Hello There (in our Sept. 29 issue), The Express decided to revoke its ban on the editor and turned him loose on the student population to do yet another Hello There.

The Express deeply regrets its decision.

WILL: I'm Will.

JENNY: Nice to meet you, I'm Jenny.

WILL: I believe I know you from somewhere...

JENNY: Yeah, you do. I think I know you too.

WILL: You have a brother, right?

JENNY: Yeah.

WILL: All right.

JENNY: Wow. Check this out...

WILL: And (points to Julian) Julian, photographer.

JENNY: Hi.

JULIAN: Hello.

WILL: Andre... Andre.

JENNY: Hi.

WILL: Okay. So anyways, how long have you been here at this school?

JENNY: Um, this is my first semester.

WILL: First semester?

JENNY: Yes.

WILL: And you graduated last year, I'm assuming.

JENNY: I'm in high school still.

WILL: Oh... (raises eyebrows) okay.

JENNY: Yeah.

ANDRE: Wow.

WILL: Livermore (implying Livermore High School)?

JENNY: Yes.

WILL: Cool. So when are you graduating?

JENNY: This year.

WILL: What do you plan on majoring in?

JENNY: Probably in communications, maybe business.

WILL: Oh, okay. Communications, good stuff. (into the mic) Think about about joining the paper or the radio. Okay. So what what do you have planned for Thanksgiving?

JENNY: I'm going to go up to reno to spend time up there.

WILL: Spend some time with family up there?

JENNY: I'm not sure. Probably with friends. It'll be fun.

WILL: Are you gonna have a turkey and everything?

JENNY: Heck yea! All that turkey and all that good stuff.

WILL: Are you guys staying at a cabin or a casino?

JENNY: At my friend's cabin.
