Zagreb se probudio u jesenjo jutro.

Zagreb woke up to an autumn morning.

Školsko dvorište je bilo prekriveno šarenim lišćem.

The school yard was covered with colorful leaves.

Unutra, hodnici Srednje škole bili su bučni.

Inside, the corridors of the Srednja škola were noisy.

Ivana, Mateo i Ana naišli su na oglas za školski talent show.

Ivana, Mateo, and Ana came across an advertisement for the school talent show.

Ivana je zastala, osjetila je kako joj srce brže kuca.

Ivana stopped, feeling her heart beat faster.

"Moraš sudjelovati", rekao je Mateo uzbuđeno.

"You must participate," Mateo said excitedly.

"Tvoj glas je nevjerojatan!"

"Your voice is amazing!"

"Ja... nisam sigurna", Ivana je odgovorila sumnjičavo.

"I'm... not sure," Ivana responded doubtfully.

Mateo je znao da je teško pojaviti se pred svima, ali vjerovao je u nju.

Mateo knew it was difficult to appear in front of everyone, but he believed in her.

Ana je prolazila, nasmiješena i energična.

Ana passed by, smiling and energetic.

"Idem pobijediti", rekla je samouvjereno.

"I'm going to win," she said confidently.

No, u njezinim očima nije bilo zlobe, nego samo prijateljski izazov.

But there was no malice in her eyes, just a friendly challenge.

Ivana je večer prije showa sjedila na svom krevetu, razmišljajući.

The evening before the show, Ivana sat on her bed, thinking.

Strah je bio stvaran, ali osjećaj da želi pjevati također je bio snažan.

The fear was real, but the feeling that she wanted to sing was also strong.

Mateo joj je poslao poruku: "Ako ne pokušaš, nikada nećeš znati što možeš."

Mateo sent her a message: "If you don't try, you'll never know what you can do."

Dvorana je bila puna.

The hall was full.

Učenici su šaptali, uzbuđeni zbog nastupa.

The students whispered, excited about the performances.

Na pozornici su bili svjetla i mikrofon.

On the stage were lights and a microphone.

Ana je nastupila prva, s pjesmom punom energije.

Ana performed first, with a song full of energy.

Ivana je duboko udahnula.

Ivana took a deep breath.

Mateo ju je gledao iz prvog reda.

Mateo watched her from the front row.

Kad su najavili njezino ime, Ivana je stala na pozornicu.

When they announced her name, Ivana stood on stage.

Ruke su joj se tresle.

Her hands trembled.

Pogledala je u publiku, a zatim prema Mateu.

She looked at the audience, then at Mateo.

Njegov ohrabrujući osmijeh dao joj je snagu.

His encouraging smile gave her strength.

Zatvorila je oči i počela pjevati svoju omiljenu pjesmu.

She closed her eyes and began to sing her favorite song.

Njezin glas ispunio je dvoranu.

Her voice filled the hall.

Svi su utihnuli, slušali su.

Everyone fell silent, they listened.

Kad je završila, pljesak je odjeknuo.

When she finished, applause echoed.

Ivana nije mogla vjerovati.

Ivana couldn't believe it.

Osjećala je val radosti i ponosa.

She felt a wave of joy and pride.

Ana je prišla, pogleda punog poštovanja.

Ana approached, her gaze full of respect.

"Ivana, bila si fantastična!"

"Ivana, you were fantastic!"

Ivana se nasmiješila, shvaćajući da stranci sada postaju prijatelji.

Ivana smiled, realizing that strangers were now becoming friends.

Pobijedila je svoj strah.

She overcame her fear.

Talent show postao je uspomena, ali važnije, Ivana je pronašla novu stranu sebe.

The talent show became a memory, but more importantly, Ivana found a new side of herself.

Bilo je to najbolje jesenje jutro do sada.

It was the best autumn morning yet.
