 I patiently, but, nervously, sat outside of Carl's office area. Today I would go on CNN Student News with him. First, he was going to show me around the studio a bit, and introduce me to some people.

 I was really nervous but super excited. This was a dream come true.

Of course, I had to focus on memorizing my script. I really hope I didn't choke while on air. I would embarrass myself and it would never go away.

"Hey, Nico. Remember that time you screwed up on global news?"

I didn't want a constant reminder. I pushed my glasses back in place and kept reading. It didn't see too interesting right now. If Carl read it would probably end up being more appealing.

Honestly, I would really kill to have him read it to me. Maybe I could get an excuse for him to do it? Well its not like I can go and say, "hey, Carl, I can't read. Would you do it for me?"

That sounded really stupid. I would probably embarrass myself just doing that.

I didn't want to interrupt his conversation though. I could hear his voice and a few others; what sounded like two men and a woman. It was probably really important so I could just suck it up.

Momentarily, the door opened, my glasses almost flew off. I've never looked up that fast in my entire life. Well, except for that time I got hit in the face with a football but never mind that.

"Hey, Nico. You ready yet? We should be able to start filming in," he paused, staring down at his watch. "Fifteen minutes at the latest."

"Just give me a few minutes. T-That's okay right?" I said, adjusting the crumpled papers in my hands.

He smiled, "of course."
