Det var en varm sommerdag på gymnasiet.

It was a warm summer day at the high school.

Sollys pressede sig ind gennem vinduerne og oplyste den store samlingssal, hvor klassen var samlet.

Sunlight pressed through the windows, illuminating the large assembly hall where the class was gathered.

Søren stod foran sine klassekammerater, klar til at imponere med sin præsentation.

Søren stood in front of his classmates, ready to impress with his presentation.

Han havde forberedt sig hele ugen og ønskede at gøre indtryk.

He had prepared all week and wanted to make an impression.

Søren var kendt som en selvsikker elev, men indeni bar han på angst for fremtiden.

Søren was known as a confident student, but inside he harbored anxiety about the future.

Han bekymrede sig om, hvad der skulle ske efter gymnasiet.

He worried about what would happen after high school.

Astrid, hans veninde, vidste det.

Astrid, his friend, knew it.

Hun bemærkede hans uro, selv om han prøvede at skjule det under et skævt smil.

She noticed his unease, even though he tried to hide it under a crooked smile.

Præsentationen startede godt.

The presentation started well.

Søren talte klart og stærkt om sit emne.

Søren spoke clearly and strongly about his topic.

Men pludselig ændrede noget sig.

But suddenly, something changed.

Hans stemme begyndte at knække, og han så ud til at få det dårligt.

His voice began to crack, and he seemed to get sick.

Hans ansigt blev rødt, og han begyndte at hive efter vejret.

His face turned red, and he started gasping for air.

Astrid sad på kanten af sit sæde, helt opmærksom.

Astrid sat at the edge of her seat, fully attentive.

Hun vidste, hvad der var galt.

She knew what was wrong.

Dette var ikke bare nervøsitet.

This was not just nervousness.

Søren havde en alvorlig allergisk reaktion.

Søren was having a severe allergic reaction.

Klassen så forvirret til.

The class looked on in confusion.

Søren begyndte at klø sig på halsen, hvor der opstod røde udslæt.

Søren began to scratch his neck, where red rashes appeared.

Astrid måtte tage en hurtig beslutning.

Astrid had to make a quick decision.

Hun kunne se, at situationen hastede, men hun ønskede ikke at gøre Søren flov foran alle.

She could see the situation was urgent, but she didn't want to embarrass Søren in front of everyone.

Med et dybt åndedrag rejste hun sig hurtigt fra stolen.

With a deep breath, she quickly got up from her chair.

"Undskyld, jeg skal lige bruge et øjeblik," sagde hun og gik med bestemte skridt ud af rummet.

"Excuse me, I just need a moment," she said and walked with determined steps out of the room.

Astrid skyndte sig til skolekontoret, hvor førstehjælpskassen stod.

Astrid hurried to the school office, where the first aid kit was located.

Hun fandt en EpiPen og hastede tilbage til salen.

She found an EpiPen and rushed back to the hall.

Uden at tøve lagde hun en hånd på Sørens skulder.

Without hesitation, she placed a hand on Søren's shoulder.

"Det skal nok gå," sagde hun roligt.

"It's going to be okay," she said calmly.

Hun administrerede EpiPen'en, og langsomt kom farven tilbage til Sørens ansigt.

She administered the EpiPen, and slowly the color returned to Søren's face.

Han begyndte at trække vejret mere normalt, mens eleverne kiggede lettet på.

He began to breathe more normally, while the students looked on relieved.

Efter den dramatiske hændelse blev Søren bragt til sygeplejersken for observation.

After the dramatic incident, Søren was taken to the nurse for observation.

Astrid blev ved hans side hele tiden, og han hviskede taknemmeligt: "Du reddede mig, Astrid."

Astrid stayed by his side the whole time, and he whispered gratefully: "You saved me, Astrid."

I dagene efter reaktionen talte de to mere end nogensinde før.

In the days following the reaction, the two talked more than ever before.

Søren åbnede op om sin angst for fremtiden, og Astrid lyttede tålmodigt.

Søren opened up about his anxiety for the future, and Astrid listened patiently.

Hun opfordrede ham til at være åben og stole på sine venner.

She encouraged him to be open and trust his friends.

Søren indså værdien af sandt venskab og lærte at dele sine bekymringer i stedet for at bære dem alene.

Søren realized the value of true friendship and learned to share his worries instead of carrying them alone.

Solen skinnede stadig over gymnasiet, men noget havde ændret sig for Søren.

The sun still shone over the high school, but something had changed for Søren.

Han var ikke længere alene.

He was no longer alone.

Omverdenen føltes ikke så overvældende længere, og han vidste, at med venner som Astrid ved sin side, kunne han klare mere, end han først troede.

The world didn't seem so overwhelming anymore, and he knew that with friends like Astrid by his side, he could handle more than he first believed.
