Matej je stal pred vhodom Ljubljanske srednje šole.

Matej stood in front of the entrance to Ljubljanska srednja šola.

Sneg se je počasi spuščal in pokrival dvorišče z belo odejo.

Snow was slowly falling, covering the courtyard with a white blanket.

Notranjost šole je bila svetleča z okraski in vonj po piškotih je zapolnjeval hodnike.

The interior of the school was bright with decorations, and the scent of cookies filled the hallways.

Bil je čas skrivnega Božička, in Matej je imel eno željo — očarati Jano s popolnim darilom.

It was Secret Santa time, and Matej had one wish — to charm Jana with the perfect gift.

Na žalost je bil Matej znan po svoji pozabljivosti.

Unfortunately, Matej was known for his forgetfulness.

Do izmenjave daril je bil le še en dan in on ni imel pojma, kaj kupiti.

There was only one day left until the gift exchange, and he had no idea what to buy.

Vse kar je vedel, je bilo, da je Jana nekaj posebnega.

All he knew was that Jana was something special.

Srce mu je poskočilo, ko se je spomnil na njen nasmeh.

His heart skipped a beat when he recalled her smile.

Želel je izbrati darilo, ki bi to odsevalo.

He wanted to choose a gift that would reflect that.

Med odmorom je Matej pohitel iz šole v center mesta.

During the break, Matej hurried out of school and into the city center.

Sprehodil se je med trgovinami, a nič ga ni navdihnilo.

He walked past the stores, but nothing inspired him.

Najprej je videl simpatično ročno uro.

First, he saw a cute wristwatch.

“Mogoče ne,” je pomislil, “kaj če uro že ima?

"Maybe not," he thought, "what if she already has a watch?"

” Nato ga je pritegnila knjiga o umetnosti, a se je ustrašil, da ne pozna njen okus.

Then he was drawn to a book about art, but he was afraid he didn't know her taste.

Ura je tiktakala, Matej pa je bil tik pred obupom.

The clock was ticking, and Matej was on the verge of despair.

Na vogalu ulice je videl trgovino z zabavnimi darili.

On the corner of the street, he saw a store with novelty gifts.

Njegova intuicija ga je vlekla tja.

His intuition pulled him in.

V trgovini je zagledal ogromno, čudno pulover s pretirano božično tematiko.

In the store, he saw a huge, bizarre sweater with an exaggerated Christmas theme.

“Preveč smešno,” se je zasmejal in odšel naprej.

"Too funny," he laughed and walked on.

Naslednji dan, med poukom, je Matej opazil, da je pozabil na nakup darila.

The next day, during class, Matej realized he had forgotten to buy the gift.

Panika je naraščala v njem.

Panic rose inside him.

Med odmorom je šušljaril okoli razreda v upanju, da najde rešitev.

During the break, he snooped around the classroom hoping to find a solution.

Ko je Luka odložil svoje darilo, ki tudi ni bilo zavito s prefinjenostjo, je napetost narasla.

When Luka set down his gift, which was also not wrapped with sophistication, the tension increased.

V trenutku nepozornosti sta se darili zamenjali.

In a moment of distraction, the gifts got swapped.

Ob koncu dneva se je velika izmenjava daril zgodila v učilnici.

At the end of the day, the big gift exchange happened in the classroom.

Začutil je nervozo, ko je Jana odprla ‘njegovo’ darilo.

He felt nervous as Jana opened 'his' gift.

Velik nasmeh je preplavil njen obraz, ko je razvila pulover in ga takoj oblekla.

A big smile spread across her face when she unfolded the sweater and immediately put it on.

"Obožujem takšne neumnosti!

"I love such nonsense!"

" je vzkliknila veselo.

she exclaimed happily.

Matej je začel razumeti.

Matej started to understand.

Jana je imela skrivno strast do nenavadnih oblačil.

Jana had a secret passion for quirky clothes.

Njegova 'napaka' je bila popolna.

His 'mistake' was perfect.

V tistem trenutku je Matej spoznal, da včasih intuicija vodi do najboljših rezultatov.

In that moment, Matej realized that sometimes intuition leads to the best results.

Ni bilo potrebno načrtovati popolnosti, bila je potrebna le iskrenost.

There was no need to plan perfection; only sincerity was needed.

Sneglav svet se je vrtel naprej, a Matej je postal bolj samozavesten.

The snowy world continued to spin, but Matej became more confident.

Vedel je, da v srcu nosi pravi občutek.

He knew he carried the right feeling in his heart.

Ljubljanska srednja šola je tega dne za Mateja postala kraj, kjer so se zgodile majhne, a pomembne čarovnije.

Ljubljanska srednja šola became, for Matej, a place where small but important magic happened that day.
