Story Transcript:
Hr: Zvono je označilo kraj sata.
En: The bell marked the end of the class.
Hr: Ljudi su jurili po hodnicima Zagrebačke javne gimnazije.
En: People were rushing through the hallways of the Zagrebačka javna gimnazija.
Hr: Lišće je šuštalo vani dok su učenici izlazili iz učionica.
En: Leaves rustled outside as students emerged from classrooms.
Hr: Bilo je jesensko poslijepodne, oblaci su prekrili sunce dajući zraku hladan osjećaj.
En: It was an autumn afternoon, clouds covered the sun giving the air a chilly feel.
Hr: Unatoč užurbanoj atmosferi, Luka je ostao sjediti za svojim stolom, oči usmjerene prema bilježnici.
En: Despite the bustling atmosphere, Luka remained seated at his desk, eyes fixed on his notebook.
Hr: „Luka, jesi li dobro?
En: "Luka, are you alright?"
Hr: ” upitala je Maja, njegova profesorica engleskog jezika, dok je pregledavala dokumente na katedri.
En: asked Maja, his English teacher, while she reviewed documents on the podium.
Hr: Pamtili su je kao strogu ali pravednu.
En: She was remembered as strict but fair.
Hr: Dane prije Dana svih svetih bila je povučena, kao da nešto turobno leži u njezinoj sjeni.
En: In the days leading up to All Saints' Day, she seemed withdrawn, as if something gloomy loomed in her shadow.
Hr: Luka je duboko udahnuo.
En: Luka took a deep breath.
Hr: „Moram razgovarati s vama o zadnjoj ocjeni.
En: "I need to talk to you about the last grade."
Hr: ” Njegov glas je bio pomalo drhtav, ali odlučan.
En: His voice was slightly shaky but determined.
Hr: Imao je osjećaj da mu je nepravdom dodijeljen slabi rezultat na zadnjoj provjeri znanja.
En: He felt he had been unfairly given a low result on the last knowledge assessment.
Hr: Maja je nakratko podigla pogled, aludirajući na umor.
En: Maja briefly looked up, alluding to her fatigue.
Hr: „Znate pravila, Luka.
En: "You know the rules, Luka.
Hr: Ocjene nisu jednostavno promijeniti.
En: Grades aren't simply changed.
Hr: Možda si previdio nešto.
En: Maybe you overlooked something."
Hr: ”„Pregledao sam sve.
En: "I reviewed everything."
Hr: ” Luka pokaza bilježnicu.
En: Luka showed the notebook.
Hr: „Mislim da se dogodila greška.
En: "I think a mistake was made.
Hr: Možete li, molim vas, još jednom pogledati?
En: Can you please look at it one more time?"
Hr: ”Maja duboko udahne, kao da se prisjeća nečega što je odvlači od trenutne situacije.
En: Maja took a deep breath, as if recalling something that distracted her from the current situation.
Hr: Na kraju, odlučila je pogledati Lukinu bilježnicu.
En: In the end, she decided to look at Luka's notebook.
Hr: Pregledavajući stranice brzo je shvatila da je previdjela ključni dio zadatka.
En: Reviewing the pages quickly, she realized she had overlooked a key part of the assignment.
Hr: „Ovo nije bila namjera,” priznala je Maja, zaklanjajući oči rukom.
En: "This was not intentional," Maja admitted, shading her eyes with her hand.
Hr: „Imala sam osobnih problema — obiteljskih stvari — i možda to nije izgovor, ali čini se da sam pogriješila.
En: "I've had personal issues — family matters — and maybe it's not an excuse, but it seems I made a mistake."
Hr: ”Luka, s trenutkom sumnje, izrazio je suosjećanje.
En: Luka, after a moment of doubt, expressed sympathy.
Hr: „Svi pravimo greške.
En: "We all make mistakes.
Hr: Važno je da se ispravljaju.
En: What's important is that they are corrected."
Hr: ”Maja mu se nasmiješila, cijenivši iskrenost.
En: Maja smiled at him, appreciating his honesty.
Hr: „Imat ćemo danas popravni razgovor, i vaša ocjena će biti ispravljena.
En: "We will have a makeup discussion today, and your grade will be corrected."
Hr: ” Dotakla ga je lagano po ramenu.
En: She gently touched his shoulder.
Hr: „Hvala ti što si mi ukazao.
En: "Thank you for pointing it out."
Hr: ”Dok je Luka izlazio iz učionice, osjećao se samopouzdanije.
En: As Luka exited the classroom, he felt more confident.
Hr: Borba za istinu bila mu je bitna lekcija.
En: The fight for truth was an important lesson for him.
Hr: U međuvremenu, Maja je osjetila olakšanje, znajući da je učenike učila lekciji pravde ne samo kroz ocjene, već i primjerima iz stvarnog života.
En: Meanwhile, Maja felt relieved, knowing she taught her students a lesson in justice not just through grades, but through real-life examples.
Hr: I tako, dok se šuštanje lišća nastavilo vani, u hodnicima škole cvjetala su nova prijateljstva i međusobno razumijevanje, čak i u vrijeme jesenske magle koja je bila spremna spustiti se nad grad.
En: And so, as the rustling of leaves continued outside, new friendships and mutual understanding blossomed in the school hallways, even as the autumn fog was ready to descend over the city.
