Jacen was sitting out on the steps of the entrance to the school waiting for Savannah. They had agreed to meet here to start on their English project, a video taped scene from the book Beowulf. Lucky for them, Jacen had already read the book and knew which scenes were best for a two-person team. He had memorized the scenes and then analyzed them to determine which one they could do that was relatively easy. He figured the fight between Grendel's mother and Beowulf was epic enough that they could capture it on camera and it wouldn't look too bad. There was only one problem.
Jacen hated the spotlight.
It didn't matter that this was just a silly school project that likely only a couple dozen people would ever see. The problem was that people were going to see it, and it was just so embarrassing. Sure they could do multiple takes if he did something wrong, but he was sure he was going to be horrible at it no matter how many takes they did. For a moment, he wished Annie was here, and even sent her a text letting her know of his plans for the afternoon. When he thought about it more though, he was glad she wouldn't see just how spectacularly fail he was going to be. This was going to be interesting.
