Story Transcript:

Nb: En morgen i tidlig høst, drysset med dugg og gulnede blader, begynte Sondre sin første skoledag på den lokale videregående skolen.
En: One early autumn morning, sprinkled with dew and yellowing leaves, Sondre began his first day at the local high school.

Nb: I tankene sine overtenkte han absolutt alt.
En: In his mind, he overthought absolutely everything.

Nb: Han hadde klærne klare dagen før. Han håpet at genseren skulle gjøre et godt inntrykk.
En: He had laid out his clothes the day before, hoping the sweater would make a good impression.

Nb: Kulden beit forsiktig i luften mens han nærmet seg den store, gamle bygningen.
En: The chill gently bit at the air as he approached the large, old building.

Nb: Ingrid derimot, var ny i byen.
En: Ingrid, on the other hand, was new to town.

Nb: Hun hadde flyttet fra en annen by og kjente ingen her.
En: She had moved from another city and knew no one here.

Nb: Men hennes mål var klart: Hun skulle få nye venner.
En: But her goal was clear: she would make new friends.

Nb: Med et smil som kunne lyse opp en gråværshimmel, steg hun inn i skolegården.
En: With a smile that could brighten a gray sky, she entered the schoolyard.

Nb: Ingrid trengte ikke lenge på å legge merke til Sondre.
En: It didn't take long for Ingrid to notice Sondre.

Nb: Han sto litt i utkanten, lyttet mer enn han snakket.
En: He stood somewhat on the periphery, listening more than talking.

Nb: Hun tenkte for seg selv at hun skulle si hei, men det var ikke så lett å bryte inn i samtalene som allerede var i gang rundt henne.
En: She thought to herself that she should say hello, but it wasn't easy to break into the conversations already happening around her.

Nb: Skoleklokken ringte, og dagen suste av gårde.
En: The school bell rang, and the day flew by.

Nb: Sondre gjennomførte første dagens klassinger med nervene i behold.
En: Sondre got through the first day's classes with his nerves intact.

Nb: Likevel var han sliten av den konstante analysen av alt som skjedde rundt ham.
En: Still, he was exhausted from constantly analyzing everything happening around him.

Nb: Da skoledagen var over, bestemte han seg for å ta en omvei til den lokale kaffebrenneriet.
En: When the school day ended, he decided to take a detour to the local coffee roastery.

Nb: Kaffebrenneriet var innbydende, fylt med duften av nybrente bønner.
En: The roastery was inviting, filled with the aroma of freshly roasted beans.

Nb: Det var et lite sted, med trebord og store vinduer som slapp inn det varme etterlys fra solen før den gikk ned.
En: It was a small place with wooden tables and large windows that let in the warm afterglow of the sun before it set.

Nb: Sondre døste nesten bort i den koselige atmosfæren.
En: Sondre nearly drifted off in the cozy atmosphere.

Nb: Det var da Ingrid kom inn, også i jakt på en pause etter en travel dag.
En: That's when Ingrid came in, also seeking a break after a busy day.

Nb: Ingrid kjøpte en kaffe og beveget seg mellom bordene da Sondre, i sin egen tankeverden, reiste seg for å finne sukker.
En: Ingrid bought a coffee and moved between the tables when Sondre, lost in thought, got up to find sugar.

Nb: De kolliderte, og kaffen hennes sølte utover bordet og gulvet.
En:...
