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: Nasmehneta se in se posvetita nalogi. En: They smile and focus on the task. Sl: Združijo moči in s Tanjo delajo kot ekipa. En: They join forces and work as a team with Tanja.
