Story Transcript:

Sv: Våren var i full blom i Uppsala.
En: Spring was in full bloom in Uppsala.

Sv: Solen värmde skolans gula tegelväggar och träden hade redan fått sina gröna knoppar.
En: The sun warmed the school's yellow brick walls, and the trees had already sprouted their green buds.

Sv: Skoldansen skulle hållas i gympasalen, som var dekorerad med pastellfärgade pappersgirlanger och stora påskägg.
En: The school dance would be held in the gymnasium, which was decorated with pastel-colored paper garlands and large Easter eggs.

Sv: Musik hördes långt bort i korridorerna, och många elever samlades för att avsluta skolveckan med en festlig kväll.
En: Music was heard far down the corridors, and many students gathered to end the school week with a festive evening.

Sv: Albin ställde sig vid ingången till gympasalen.
En: Albin stood at the entrance to the gymnasium.

Sv: Han var nervös.
En: He was nervous.

Sv: Han såg sig omkring och letade efter Sigrid.
En: He looked around and searched for Sigrid.

Sv: Hon stod vid ett bord längst bak i salen, och i hennes närhet fanns Nils.
En: She stood by a table at the back of the hall, and nearby was Nils.

Sv: Nils var en god vän, men ibland gjorde hans självsäkra retsamhet det svårt för Albin.
En: Nils was a good friend, but sometimes his confident teasing made things difficult for Albin.

Sv: "Har du skrivit kortet?"
En: "Have you written the card?"

Sv: frågade Nils och puttade Albin i sidan.
En: asked Nils, nudging Albin in the side.

Sv: "Ja," svarade Albin tyst och rodnade.
En: "Yes," replied Albin quietly, blushing.

Sv: Kortet, ett anonymt påskkort, fanns gömt i Sigrids skåp tidigare samma dag.
En: The card, an anonymous Easter card, had been hidden in Sigrid's locker earlier that day.

Sv: Albin mindes hur han hade suttit uppe kvällen innan för att skriva kortet med sina känslor.
En: Albin remembered how he had stayed up the night before to write the card with his feelings.

Sv: "Glad Påsk," hade han börjat, följt av några nervöst formulerade rader om hur mycket han tyckte om henne.
En: "Happy Easter," he had started, followed by a few nervously phrased lines about how much he liked her.

Sv: Nils fnissade.
En: Nils snickered.

Sv: "Du borde bara spela det cool."
En: "You should just play it cool."

Sv: Albin tvekade i dörröppningen.
En: Albin hesitated in the doorway.

Sv: Han visste att detta var hans chans.
En: He knew this was his chance.

Sv: Han kunde höra musiken och skratten, men hans hjärta slog så hårt att ljudet av musik nästan överröstades.
En: He could hear the music and laughter, but his heart was pounding so hard that it almost drowned out the sound of the music.

Sv: Plötsligt såg han Sigrid gå mot honom.
En: Suddenly, he saw Sigrid walking toward him.

Sv: Hon log, och något i hennes ögon sa att hon visste.
En: She smiled, and something in her eyes said that she knew.

Sv: När hon kom närmare höll hon upp kortet med ett leende.
En: As she came closer, she held up the card with a smile.

Sv: "Var det du som skrev detta?"
En: "Was it you who wrote this?"

Sv: frågade hon försiktigt, men det fanns en glimt av förväntan i hennes röst.
En: she asked cautiously, but there was a hint of anticipation in her voice.

Sv: Albin kände hur kinderna...
