Story Transcript:
Hr: Luka je stajao na ulici ispred svoje škole u Zagrebu.
En: Luka stood on the street in front of his school in Zagreb.
Hr: Jesensko lišće šuškalo je pod njegovim nogama, a hladni zrak mirisao je na kišu.
En: The autumn leaves rustled under his feet, and the cold air smelled of rain.
Hr: Djeca su veselo trčala prema školi, dok su im raznobojni ruksaci poskakivali na leđima.
En: Children were happily running towards school, their colorful backpacks bouncing on their backs.
Hr: Luka je duboko udahnuo i ušao u školsku zgradu, držeći u rukama svoju omiljenu kutiju.
En: Luka took a deep breath and entered the school building, holding his favorite box in his hands.
Hr: Unutra je bilo glasno i živo.
En: Inside, it was loud and lively.
Hr: Učenici su se međusobno pozdravljali, razmjenjujući uzbuđene poglede i priče o ljetnim praznicima.
En: Students greeted each other, exchanging excited looks and stories about their summer holidays.
Hr: No, Luka se osjećao drukčije.
En: But Luka felt different.
Hr: Bio je sramežljiv i često se povlačio u sebe, prepuštajući svojoj bučnijoj braći i sestrama da budu u središtu pozornosti.
En: He was shy and often withdrew into himself, leaving it to his louder siblings to be the center of attention.
Hr: Luka je volio znanost.
En: Luka loved science.
Hr: Njegova želja bila je pronaći prijatelja koji bi dijelio njegovu strast.
En: His wish was to find a friend who shared his passion.
Hr: Nažalost, njegova ga sramežljivost često sprječavala da se približi drugima.
En: Unfortunately, his shyness often prevented him from approaching others.
Hr: Danas je imao plan.
En: Today, he had a plan.
Hr: Donio je svoj mali znanstveni projekt, nadajući se da će privući pažnju nekog tko također voli znanost.
En: He brought his small science project, hoping it would catch the attention of someone who also loves science.
Hr: U učionici, Luka je tiho sjedio na svojem mjestu, a učiteljica je započela s uvodnim satom.
En: In the classroom, Luka quietly sat at his desk while the teacher began the introductory lesson.
Hr: Uskoro je stiglo vrijeme za ručak.
En: Soon it was time for lunch.
Hr: Luka je s nesigurnim osmijehom izletio iz klupe i namjestio svoj projekt na mali stol u kantini.
En: With an uncertain smile, Luka burst out of his seat and set up his project on a small table in the cafeteria.
Hr: Dok je ručak trajao, Luka je nervozno gledao oko sebe.
En: During lunch, Luka nervously looked around.
Hr: Njegovo srce kucalo je brzo, a dlanovi su mu se znojili od treme.
En: His heart was beating fast, and his palms were sweaty from nervousness.
Hr: No, nije prošlo dugo prije nego što je Ivanina pažnja bila usmjerena na njega.
En: But it didn’t take long before Ivanina attention was directed towards him.
Hr: Ivana, djevojčica iz njegovog razreda, s radoznalošću je prilazila.
En: Ivana, a girl from his class, approached with curiosity.
Hr: "Što je to?" upitala je Ivana, pogledavši njegov projekt s iskrenim zanimanjem.
En: "What is that?" Ivana asked, looking at his project with genuine interest.
Hr: Luka je oprezno objašnjavao detalje jednostavnog pokusa, a Ivana je slušala s oduševljenjem.
En: Luka cautiously explained the details of the simple experiment, and Ivana listened with enthusiasm.
Hr: Razgovor je postao
