No: Han ønsket å være med, men det var noe annet som presset på i tankene hans.
En: He wanted to join them, but there was something else pressing on his mind.
No: I hendene holdt han et lite hefte med sine egne dikt – ord han aldri hadde delt med noen.
En: In his hands, he held a small booklet of his own poems—words he had never shared with anyone.
No: Eirik var en reflektert type, ofte mistet i egne tanker.

No: Bare tanken på å lese diktene foran henne fikk magen hans til å vri seg i nervøsitet.

No: Mikkel, en vennlig og positiv klassekamerat, kom inn i rommet.
En: Mikkel, a friendly and positive classmate, came into the room.
No: "Hei Eirik, blir du med på å henge opp mer pynt?" spurte han med et varmt smil.
En: "Hey Eirik, will you join us in hanging up more decorations?" he asked with a warm smile.
No: Eirik nølte litt, før han viste Mikkel heftet.
En: Eirik hesitated a little, before showing Mikkel the booklet.
No: "Jeg har noen dikt," mumlet Eirik. "Men... jeg vet ikke om de er bra nok."
En: "I have some poems," Eirik muttered. "But... I don't know if they are good enough."
No: Mikkel tok imot heftet og bladde forsiktig gjennom sidene, nikket med oppriktig interesse.
En: Mikkel accepted the booklet and flipped through the pages carefully, nodding with genuine interest.
No: "Disse er gode, Eirik! Du må lese dem under arrangementet!"
En: "These are good, Eirik! You should read them at the event!"
No: Men Eirik var ikke sikker.
En: But Eirik wasn't sure.
No: Hva om ingen likte dem?
En: What if no one liked them?
No: Hva om Astrid ikke likte dem?
En: What if Astrid didn't like them?

En: Her eyes lit up like the stars on the ceiling.
No: "Hei Eirik, Mikkel sier du har dikt du vil dele. Kan jeg se?"

No: Hendene hans skalv litt, men han ga henne heftet.
En: His hands trembled a little, but he handed her the booklet.
No: Hun leste ivrig, og et stort smil spredte seg over ansiktet hennes.
En: She read eagerly, and a big smile spread across her face.

No: Eirik sto bak kulissene, helt i sine egne tanker.
En: Eirik stood behind the scenes, completely absorbed in his own thoughts.
No: Skulle han virkelig gjøre dette?
En: Should he really do this?
No: Angsten rev i magen, men han visste at dette var hans mulighet.
En: The anxiety tugged at his stomach, but he knew this was his opportunity.
No: "Neste er Eirik med et dikt," annonserte Astrid fra scenen.
En: "Next is Eirik with a poem," announced Astrid from the stage.
No: Hennes oppmuntrende blikk fanget Eirik, og han tok et dypt pust før han trådte frem mot mikrofonen.
En: Her encouraging glance caught Eirik, and he took a deep breath before stepping forward to the microphone.
No: Rommene var stille mens han leste.
En: The room was silent as he read.
No: Ordene, som han hadde fryktet, fløt lett, nesten som vinterens egen poesi i snøen.
En: The words, which he had feared, flowed easily, almost like the winter's own poetry in the snow.
No: Da han var ferdig, slo applausen mot ham som en varm bølge, og Astrid så på ham med stolthet.

No: Han hadde funnet stemmen sin.
En: He had found his voice.
No: Stoltheten i øynene til klassekameratene, og Astrids stolte smil, fortalte ham at hans ord betydde noe.
