Teodra's pov:

*The school day after our return from the international folklore competition was unlike any other. As Kate, Ana, and I entered the school gates, it felt as if a spotlight followed us. Students who had been following the competition were quick to surround us.*

Sophie: (excitedly) Oh my gosh, you guys were amazing! How did it feel to perform on such a big stage?

Ana: (grinning) It was surreal, like a dream come true. The energy of the audience was unlike anything we've experienced before.

Marko: (looking impressed) And that intreview with Marcus & Martinus! How did that happen?

Kate: (laughing) Total surprise! They just jumped on stage, and we went with the flow. It was crazy, but so much fun.

Jovana: (curious) Did you get to talk to Marcus and Martinus? What are they like?

Me: (smiling) We did! They're really down-to-earth and friendly.

*The questions kept coming as we made our way through the school corridors. It seemed like the entire school was buzzing with excitement over our adventure in Norway. Professors joined in, expressing their pride in our achievement.*

Mr. Petrovic: (patting Ana on the back) Outstanding job everyone! Your performance made us all proud.

Ana: Thank you, Mr. Petrovic. It was a team effort.

*During the lunch break, we found ourselves surrounded by a group of enthusiastic classmates eager to hear every detail.*

Milica: Tell us about the moment when they announced the finalists! Were you nervous?

Kate: (nodding) Oh, absolutely! The tension backstage was intense. But when they called out Serbia, it was pure joy.

Nikola: (looking at Kate) And that unplanned interview with Marcus and Martinus, that was epic!

Kate: (laughing) Epic is the right word. We didn't see that coming at all.

Milica: (looking at me) The best moment for me is when Martinus appeared behind you and you just blushed, cute and funny at the same time, hahaha.

Me: Well..He really surprised me.

*As the day unfolded, we realized that our experience had become a source of inspiration for our peers. The hallways echoed with discussions about the competition, and a few students even expressed newfound interest in exploring folklore.**As the bell rang for the last class, we exchanged smiles, realizing that our journey had not only brought us closer as an ensemble but had also left a lasting impact on our school community. The applause and cheers might have faded, but the echoes of the competition continued to resonate within the walls of our school, turning an ordinary day into one filled with the magic of shared accomplishments.*
