The Mix-Up Before the Dance

Priya and Jasper are in the same class. The school dance is on Friday night. Priya likes Jasper, but she feels shy about it.

Priya dan Jasper sekelas. Pesta dansa sekolah diadakan Jumat malam. Priya menyukai Jasper, tetapi ia malu mengatakannya.

Priya tells her friend Colin about her feelings. "Don't tell anyone," she says. Colin promises to keep the secret.

Priya menceritakan perasaannya kepada temannya, Colin. "Jangan beri tahu siapa-siapa," katanya. Colin berjanji akan menjaga rahasia itu.

At lunch, Colin talks to Jasper by mistake. He wants to help Priya. "Priya likes someone," Colin says. "She's too shy to say who."

Saat makan siang, Colin tidak sengaja berbicara dengan Jasper. Ia ingin membantu Priya. "Priya menyukai seseorang," kata Colin. "Dia terlalu malu untuk menyebutkan siapa."

Jasper hears this and thinks Colin means someone else. He believes Priya likes a boy on the soccer team.

Jasper mendengar itu dan mengira Colin maksudkan orang lain. Ia percaya Priya menyukai seorang anak laki-laki di tim sepak bola.

On Thursday, Jasper sees Priya at her locker. "Are you going to the dance with someone?" he asks quietly.

Pada hari Kamis, Jasper melihat Priya di dekat lokernya. "Kamu pergi ke pesta dansa dengan seseorang?" tanyanya pelan.

"No," Priya says. "I don't have a plan yet." She looks down at her books.

"Tidak," kata Priya. "Aku belum punya rencana." Ia menunduk menatap buku-bukunya.

"I heard you like a boy on the soccer team," Jasper says. Priya's face turns red. "What? No, that's not true!"

"Aku dengar kamu suka seorang anak laki-laki di tim sepak bola," kata Jasper. Wajah Priya memerah. "Apa? Tidak, itu tidak benar!"

"Then who do you like?" Jasper asks. Priya takes a deep breath. "I like you, Jasper," she says.

"Lalu siapa yang kamu sukai?" tanya Jasper. Priya menarik napas dalam-dalam. "Aku suka kamu, Jasper," katanya.

Jasper smiles a big smile. "I like you too," he says. "Colin got it all wrong."

Jasper tersenyum lebar. "Aku juga suka kamu," katanya. "Colin salah paham sama sekali."

They both laugh about the mix-up. "Do you want to go to the dance with me?" Jasper asks.

Mereka berdua menertawakan kesalahpahaman itu. "Mau pergi ke pesta dansa denganku?" tanya Jasper.

Priya nods and smiles. "Yes, I'd like that," she says. They walk to class together. They still laugh about Colin's mistake.

Priya mengangguk dan tersenyum. "Ya, aku mau," katanya. Mereka berjalan ke kelas bersama-sama. Mereka masih tertawa mengingat kesalahan Colin.
