Sl: Ljubljana High School je živahno mesto.
En: Ljubljana High School is a lively place.
Sl: Široki hodniki so polni smeha in pogovorov med učenci.
En: The wide corridors are full of laughter and conversations among students.
Sl: Pred šolo sonce sije močno, saj je poletje v polni moči.
En: Outside the school, the sun shines brightly, as summer is in full swing.
Sl: Poletne počitnice sicer še niso, a poletje je tu.
En: The summer holidays aren't here yet, but summer is.
Sl: Tanja, Matej in Luka imajo pomembno nalogo.
En: Tanja, Matej, and Luka have an important task.
Sl: Imajo šolski projekt, za katerega potrebujejo veliko materiala.
En: They have a school project for which they need a lot of materials.
Sl: Zato se zdaj odpravljajo v bližnjo papirnico.
En: So now they are heading to a nearby stationery shop.
Sl: Tanja drži v rokah seznam potrebščin.
En: Tanja holds a list of supplies in her hands.
Sl: Na seznamu so lepilo, barvni papir, plakati in flomastri.
En: On the list are glue, colored paper, posters, and markers.
Sl: "Moramo biti hitri in organizirani," reče Tanja.
En: "We need to be quick and organized," says Tanja.
Sl: "Vsega, kar rabimo, ne smemo pozabiti.
En: "We can't forget anything we need."
Sl: "Matej in Luka ji prikimavata, a njune misli hitro zaidejo drugam.
En: Matej and Luka nod in agreement, but their thoughts quickly drift elsewhere.
Sl: Ko vstopijo v papirnico, oči Mateja zasvetijo ob pogledu na raznobarvne flomastra.
En: When they enter the stationery shop, Matej's eyes light up at the sight of colorful markers.
Sl: Luka ga potegne za rokav.
En: Luka tugs on his sleeve.
Sl: "Poglej tisti kompas, zgleda kul!
En: "Look at that compass, it looks cool!"
Sl: " Matej se mu zasmeji in kmalu se oba oddaljita od Tanji.
En: Matej laughs, and soon they both drift away from Tanja.
Sl: Tanja zavzdihne.
En: Tanja sighs.
Sl: Stene trgovine so pisane, police polne zanimivih predmetov.
En: The shop walls are colorful, the shelves full of interesting items.
Sl: Vse je tako raztreseno, a ravno zato tudi zanimivo.
En: Everything is so scattered, but that's what makes it interesting.
Sl: Tanja začuti, kako se živčnost kopiči.
En: Tanja feels the nervousness build.
Sl: "Fanta, vrnimo se k nalogi!
En: "Guys, let's get back to the task!"
Sl: " vzklikne, ko ju zagleda pri igračah.
En: she exclaims when she sees them by the toys.
Sl: "Ne pozabita, zakaj smo tukaj.
En: "Don't forget why we're here."
Sl: "Tanja ima načrt.
En: Tanja has a plan.
Sl: "Matej, ti izberi flomastre in barvni papir.
En: "Matej, you pick out the markers and colored paper.
Sl: Luka, pojdi po plakate.
En: Luka, go for the posters."
Sl: " Da njuna energija ne bi šla v prazno, jima da nalogo, za katero morata skupaj prevzeti odgovornost.
En: To ensure their energy isn't wasted, she gives them a task for which they must take responsibility together.
Sl: Fanta pogled dol in pritrdita: "Razumemo.
En: The boys look down and reluctantly agree: "Understood."
Sl: "Toda, ko dosežejo blagajno, Matej spet izgubi fokus.
En: However, when they reach the checkout, Matej once again loses focus.
Sl: Luka ga s prstom tiho pokara.
En: Luka quietly rebukes him with a finger.
Sl: Tanja takrat povzdigne glas: "Za projekt!
En: Tanja then raises her voice: "For the project!
Sl: Kako mislite, da bomo to opravili, če ves čas zapravljamo za neumnosti?
En: How do you think we'll get this done if we keep wasting time on nonsense?"
Sl: " Matej in Luka se umirita.
En: Matej and Luka calm down.
Sl: Spoznata, da Tanja resnično poskuša ohraniti potek.
En: They realize that Tanja is genuinely trying to keep things on track.

Sl: Tanja je zadovoljna.
En: Tanja is satisfied.
Sl: Fanta sta se zabavala, a tudi poslušala.
