El sol lluïa brillant sobre el castell de Montjuïc, il·luminant les pedres antigues i els jardins verds.
The sun shone brightly over the castell de Montjuïc, illuminating the ancient stones and green gardens.
Era un matí d'estiu, perfecte per a una excursió escolar.
It was a summer morning, perfect for a school excursion.
Els alumnes caminaven en grups, alguns feien fotos, altres escoltaven amb atenció la guia que contava històries de cavallers i reis.
The students walked in groups, some taking pictures, others attentively listening to the guide telling stories of knights and kings.
Núria era una d'elles, observant des de la seva posició al final del grup.
Núria was one of them, observing from her position at the back of the group.
Li agradava escoltar, però encara més mirar al seu voltant.
She liked to listen, but even more to look around.
Montjuïc tenia molts racons amagats, perfectes per a algú curiós com ella.
Montjuïc had many hidden corners, perfect for someone curious like her.
Enric, pel contrari, estava al centre de l'atenció, fent bromes i rient amb els altres.
Enric, on the other hand, was the center of attention, cracking jokes and laughing with the others.
Però Núria sabia que a ell li preocupaven els exàmens.
But Núria knew that he was worried about exams.
Era part de la seva personalitat tapar els seus nervis amb rialles.
It was part of his personality to mask his nerves with laughter.
Laia, la companya d'aventures de Núria, marxava sempre al seu propi ritme.
Laia, Núria's adventure companion, always marched at her own pace.
Li agradava explorar, i sovint tenia idees bojes que sorprenien a tothom.
She liked to explore, and often had crazy ideas that surprised everyone.
Però aquest dia, Laia no es veia per enlloc.
But that day, Laia was nowhere to be seen.
"Núria, has vist la Laia?" va preguntar la professora, amb el front arrugat de preocupació.
"Núria, have you seen Laia?" the teacher asked, her forehead creased with worry.
"No des de fa una estona", va respondre Núria, inquieta.
"Not for a while," Núria replied, uneasy.
Enmig del caos creixent, els mestres intentaven mantenir la calma, però sense gaire èxit.
Amid the growing chaos, the teachers tried to keep calm, but without much success.
Els companys de classe començaven a murmurar nerviosos.
The classmates started murmuring nervously.
Núria es va apropar a Enric, que mirava cap a terra, perdut en els seus pensaments.
Núria approached Enric, who was looking at the ground, lost in his thoughts.
"Enric, has vist a la Laia?", li va demanar, esperant que tingués alguna pista.
"Enric, have you seen Laia?" she asked, hoping he had some clue.
Ell va estremir-se i va negar amb el cap, però Núria va sentir que hi havia més sota la superfície.
He shivered and shook his head, but Núria felt that there was more beneath the surface.
"Enric, ella faria alguna cosa per sorprendre'ns. Prova de recordar".
"Enric, she would do something to surprise us. Try to remember."
Després d'uns instants de silenci, Enric va mirar Núria amb uns ulls brillants d'idea.
After a few moments of silence, Enric looked at Núria with eyes bright with an idea.
"Sí, potser a les muralles... volia veure el Mediterrani des d'un lloc especial."
"Yes, maybe at the walls... she wanted to see the Mediterranean from a special place."
Núria va donar-li les gràcies i, amb Enric darrere seu, va començar a córrer cap a les muralles.
Núria thanked him and, with Enric behind her, began to run towards the walls.
Va pujar les escales ràpidament, el cor bategant amb força.
She climbed the stairs quickly, her heart pounding hard.
Finalment, la va veure.
Finally, she saw her.
Laia estava dreta en un racó elevat, somrient amb un petit estoig a les mans.
Laia was standing in an elevated corner, smiling with a small case in her hands.
Quan Núria i Enric es van apropar, ella va dir: "Volia fer una foto de tots des d'aquí.
When Núria and Enric approached, she said, "I wanted to take a picture of everyone from here.
Però no vaig pensar que us preocuparíeu tant!"
But I didn't think you'd worry so much!"
Núria va respirar alleujada i va riure, alleugera de trobar-la sana i estàlvia.
Núria breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, relieved to find her safe and sound.
Tots tres van tornar al grup, on l'ambient es va relaxar en veure's tots junts.
The three of them returned to the group, where the atmosphere relaxed upon seeing them all together.
Després d'aquell dia, Núria va veure com els seus companys la miraven de manera diferent, amb respecte.
After that day, Núria noticed how her classmates looked at her differently, with respect.
Havia seguit el seu instint i havia trobat la seva amiga.
She had followed her instinct and found her friend.
La relació amb Enric va esdevenir una amistat propera, i ella va sentir com la seguretat creixia dins seu.
The relationship with Enric became a close friendship, and she felt her confidence grow within her.
Montjuïc havia estat l'escenari d'una petita aventura, una que mai oblidaria.
Montjuïc had been the setting of a small adventure, one she would never forget.
Ara, cada cop que Núria mirava cap al castell des de la ciutat, somreia, recordant aquell dia i les noves amistats que hi va fer.
Now, every time Núria looked at the castle from the city, she smiled, remembering that day and the new friendships she had made.
I així, l'estiu continuava, ple de promeses i històries per descobrir.
And so, the summer continued, full of promises and stories to discover.
