It: Luci brillanti illuminarono l'auditorium della scuola superiore.
En: Bright lights illuminated the high school auditorium.

It: L'aria era fresca e il respiro di Luca si formava in nuvolette di vapore.

It: Aveva i capelli legati in una coda alta, era sempre energica e determinata.
En: Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she was always energetic and determined.

It: Luca stava ritto accanto a Matteo, grattando distrattamente le corde della sua chitarra.

It: Lui era timido, ma aveva un talento incredibile per la musica.
En: He was shy but had incredible talent for music.

It: "Sono nervoso," confessò Luca, cercando il conforto del suo migliore amico.
En: "I'm nervous," Luca confessed, seeking comfort from his best friend.

It: Matteo, il comico del gruppo, alzò le spalle.
En: Matteo, the joker of the group, shrugged.

It: Cercava di nascondere una punta di gelosia verso il talento di Luca, ma non poteva fare a meno di supportarlo.
En: He tried to hide a touch of jealousy towards Luca's talent but couldn't help supporting him.

It: "Andrà tutto bene, amico.
En: "You'll do great, man.

It: Sei fantastico con la chitarra," disse.
En: You're amazing with the guitar," he said.

It: Eppure, una parte di lui si chiedeva se sabotare Luca potesse dargli più visibilità sul palco.
En: Yet a part of him wondered if sabotaging Luca might give him more stage visibility.

It: Durante le prove, Luca salì sul palco.
En: During rehearsals, Luca stepped onto the stage.

It: Le luci erano accecanti e il suo cuore batteva forte.
En: The lights were blinding, and his heart was pounding.

It: Il pubblico immaginario lo fissava, o così gli sembrava.
En: The imaginary audience stared at him, or so it seemed.

It: Le dita tremavano sulle corde e i suoi pensieri si mescolavano.
En: His fingers trembled on the strings, and his thoughts jumbled.

It: "Non riesco a farlo," mormorò, fermandosi.
En: "I can't do it," he murmured, pausing.

It: Giulia, sempre attenta e mai esitante, si avvicinò.
En: Giulia, always attentive and never hesitant, approached.

It: "Luca, puoi farcela.
En: "Luca, you can do it.

It: Pensa soltanto alla musica.
En: Just think about the music.

It: Fallo per te stesso," disse con un sorriso incoraggiante.
En: Do it for yourself," she said with an encouraging smile.

It: Le sue parole furono come un faro nella nebbia dei dubbi di Luca.
En: Her words were like a beacon through the fog of Luca's doubts.

It: Matteo, vedendo il momento critico del suo amico, fece un respiro profondo.
En: Matteo, seeing his friend's critical moment, took a deep breath.

It: Decise di lasciar perdere la gelosia.
En: He decided to let go of the jealousy.

It: "Dai, amico.
En: "Come on, buddy.

It: Io sono qui, e anche Giulia.
