I was walking towards the lockers one day when I noticed the three most popular boys in school looking at me, like I was some kind of snack.
2
It was the first time in two years they'd noticed me.
3
Then, they were suddenly smiling at me.
4
What's going on?
5
I got so nervous, I crashed straight into an open locker door and my books fell to the floor.
6
Wow, what an entry.
7
Seriously?
8
Her?
9
The nerd?
10
"Well, she is cute, but are you sure she should be our new target?" She looks too innocent.
11
Heck yeah!
12
I'm gonna make her fall in love with me and win the bet.
13
Get your 10 million dollars ready, losers.
14
We'll see about that.
15
Hi, my name is Athena, and let me tell you how these three annoying playboys pulled me into the most confusing situation ever.
16
First, though, please hit the like and subscribe button.
17
After my class, I was walking down the stairs when I suddenly tripped, but someone caught me just in time.
18
It was Andre, the guy who was literally dating half of the female population in our school.
19
He was staring at my lips as he pulled me close.
20
Your lips look lonely.
21
Do they want to meet mine?
22
Please get off me.
23
Whoa, easy there, baby girl.
24
I'd rather kiss a trash can, by the way.
25
Oh, wait.
26
What's the difference?
27
I smiled at seeing the shocked look on his face.
28
Walking away, I almost tripped over a random calculator someone had left on the floor.
29
I dropped my books and before I could pick them up, someone was doing it for me.
30
You should watch your step next time, princess.
31
For a second, I was stunned to see Tanner, the guy with the biggest Instagram following.
32
He was grinning at me, and boy, he looks like a prince.
33
Would you mind taking a picture of me for my Insta?
34
He pushed his phone and started posing like he was God's gift to women.
35
I didn't know how to react, so I put his phone down on the floor and awkwardly walked away to find an empty classroom.
36
As I walked in, I was surprised to see someone sleeping in there.
37
I shook his shoulder to wake him up.
38
Only to gasp when I realized it was Lucas, the handsome sleepyhead.
39
What are you doing here?
40
This is my place.
41
Oh, sorry.
42
I didn't see your name on the door.
43
I ignored his sarcasm and was about to head out before he spoke again.
44
We can share this room, if you want.
45
Suddenly, the teacher came in and thought we'd been making out in there or something.
46
She kicked us out and it was so embarrassing.
47
Even more than all the tripping over.
48
I had to avoid these heartbreakers.
49
They were called the triple threat for a reason.
50
And I hated guys like them.
51
After my classes were finished, I found the three of them outside waiting for someone.
52
They all smiled at me.
53
Uh -oh.
54
Hey, baby girl.
55
I think you're an engine, because my car won't start without you.
56
Come on, princess.
57
Let's get out of here.
58
I'll give you a ride home.
59
Lucas just gave me a nod and signaled for me to get in.
60
What in the world was happening?
61
I hurriedly walked out of the gate to avoid them.
62
cookies, burgers, and nuggets.
63
It was the boys again.
64
I turned them all down and chose to sit on a table alone as I ate.
65
I heard some girls behind me talking about me.
66
Seriously?
67
Why are they after that lame junior?
68
It must be a prank.
69
There's no way they'd notice her otherwise.
70
She's ugly.
71
I turned to look at the girls and said, I really want to punch all you girls right now.
72
But, you know, I'm busy dealing with attractive boys drooling over me now.
73
Ciao.
74
I was really the target of a stupid prank.
75
A few days later, as I was passing by the boys' locker room, I noticed that the door was slightly open.
76
I saw the trio inside.
77
I hid behind a locker to listen.
78
God, what is that smell?
79
Do boys even shower?
80
Give me two days, and she'll be following me around like a puppy.
81
I don't think so.
82
She's kinda challenging.
83
Nah, she's just plain hard to get, Tanner.
84
You guys should learn from me.
85
I couldn't believe it.
86
me.
87
I'd show them.
88
They'd pick the wrong girl to mess with.
89
I was gonna make them pay.
90
Let the games begin.
91
The drama club I was in had a show the next day, and my role was a stupid tree.
92
The scene had a windy day, so when I started swaying my arms, Someone gave a standing ovation from the audience.
93
Ooh, best actress ever.
94
That's my girl.
95
What was he doing?
96
After the show, he came over and gave me a bouquet of flowers and a gigantic teddy bear.
97
Babe, you know what?
98
There's something wrong with my phone.
99
It doesn't have your number in it.
100
He wouldn't leave until I put my number in his phone.
101
The next day, while I was walking to school, I noticed a familiar sports car following me.
102
Hop in, princess.
103
It was Tanner.
104
This time I got in.
105
deal is.
106
During the ride, I spilled my coffee over his squeaky clean dashboard on purpose.
107
Oops, sorry, I'm just so clumsy.
108
I was expecting him to get mad about it, but instead, he reached for some tissues and cleaned my hands with them.
109
I found myself staring at him while my heart raced.
110
No, no, no, it was all just an act.
111
Get a grip, Athena.
112
When we reached school, he helped me get out of the car.
113
I glared at him.
114
Is there something you want to say?
115
He just flashed a big smile and turned to fix his hair in the car window. So annoying.
116
I walked off to class.
117
Halfway through the lesson, when the teacher had her back to us, someone from the table next to me whispered, psst.
118
I looked up to see that it was Andre.
119
Why'd you come here with Tanner?
120
You know guys like him are jerks who will just break your heart.
121
You know I'm totally serious about you.
122
Then he kissed my hand.
123
Oh, please.
124
There's no number to express.
125
Then prove it to me.
126
Sure, baby girl, but how?
127
I'll tell you about it at lunch.
128
I can't wait.
129
I swear, I'll do anything for you.
130
Just then the teacher kicked him out of the class for making all these noises.
131
Everyone giggled, but he didn't look the least bit embarrassed.
132
He winked and walked off.
133
Lunchtime came and he was already waiting.
134
I wanted to ruin his reputation, especially in front of the girls,
135
so I whispered my dare to him and his eyes Will you be my girlfriend?
136
I nodded.
137
He immediately walked to the front of the cafeteria, jumped on a table, and shouted, I have something to confess.
138
I wet my bed every night, and I don't know what to do anymore.
139
I burst out laughing when he made a whole drama out of it while fake crying.
140
But to my surprise, the girls started comforting him.
141
What?
142
My plan had backfired, so I sneaked out of the room, devastated.
143
The next day, while I was reaching for a book in I gave him a smile, but he just nodded.
144
While I was doing my homework, he sat across from me and started reading a book.
145
I waited for him to say "hello" or something, but he totally ignored me.
146
I asked him what he was reading, but he just gave me a glare.
147
"Oh, I get it.
148
He was using the snobbish bad boy style." I moved beside him and leaned in.
149
"Are you mute, or does your breath just stink?" I was caught off guard when he grinned.
150
"Do you really want to know?" I immediately pulled away when our lips almost touched.
151
I cleared my throat and got myself back on track.
152
Are you free tomorrow?
153
I just need someone to go somewhere with me.
154
Yeah, sure, whatever.
155
Later that night, I did a little research on Lucas
156
and grinned when I read a comment about him having a phobia of heights in one of his Instagram posts.
157
He was surprised when I brought him to an amusement park the next day.
158
I forced him to try all the rides, and I was laughing my butt off whenever he screamed like a girl.
159
Stop being such a wuss, Lucas!
160
Let's try the pirate ship one more time.
161
Just then he started throwing up and I couldn't stop laughing.
162
I wanted to have more fun, so I acted like I'd sprained my ankle and let him carry me all around the place.
163
Then I asked him to buy me some fries.
164
When he bought them I said, "Oh shoot, I'm also craving a banana split and a cheeseburger." I could barely stop myself from laughing at his annoyed face.
165
Poor guy later fell asleep on the bench while I ate all the food.
166
All of a sudden I screamed in his ear.
167
He jolted awake and asked what had happened.
168
I told him that I was just thirsty and I needed some soda.
169
Heath finally snapped Buy it yourself, girl.
170
Jeez.
171
You're so annoying.
172
And just like that, Lucas gave up.
173
One down, two to go.
174
Andre continued pestering me at school, while Lucas was nowhere to be found.
175
During lunch, Tanner sat beside me and asked me if I'd like to go on a date with him to the Bahamas.
176
I want to get to know you first before going anywhere alone with you.
177
I don't even know anything about your family.
178
Not a problem.
179
You could join us for dinner tonight.
180
I did a happy dance on the inside.
181
Everything was going according to plan.
182
I told him that I'd come myself, so I just asked his address dress.
183
That night, I borrowed my friend's hyperactive cats and brought them with me.
184
Tanner looked so happy as he opened the door.
185
My mom's out, so no one can babysit them.
186
I put the basket down and the cats started running everywhere, scratching paintings and knocking over expensive vases.
187
Sorry, they get their clumsiness from their mama.
188
He looked totally unaffected.
189
Your kittens are adorable.
190
"Like you.
191
Come on, dinner's ready, and they're all waiting for you." His parents looked so sophisticated, and I was surprised to see that he had four little sisters.
192
They all flocked around me like it was their first time seeing a girl.
193
I started fake crying when dinner was served.
194
"What's wrong?" "I don't eat chicken.
195
Poor little creatures." His mom asked me, "Oh, are you vegetarian?" "No, only for chickens.
196
Chickens Tanner immediately told the cook to change my food, and when we started eating,
197
my cat suddenly jumped on the table and turned everything into a disaster!
198
The look of horror on the faces of the Tanner family was epic!
199
Sorry!
200
I was shocked when his mom took the cats and started petting them!
201
Unbelievable!
202
It's fine, they're just asking for some love!
203
I then placed my feet on the table and let out the loudest burp!
204
Thanks for the splendid meal!
205
Anything for you!
206
He was such a good actor.
207
After dinner, his mom showed me their family albums, and I couldn't help but notice how cute baby Tanner was.
208
As I watched him play with his sisters, I realized that he wasn't really a self -absorbed jerk after all.
209
While heading out that night, I tripped over something as usual and dropped my glasses.
210
Tanner picked them up from me and looked at my bare face lovingly.
211
"Wow, your beauty is so unreal.
212
So perfect." talking to me.
213
I felt my heart beating faster.
214
He looked so sincere, and it made me feel like I was the most beautiful girl in the world.
215
Apparently, my efforts to get rid of him hadn't worked tonight.
216
But why was I smiling?
217
The next day, Andre sneaked in through my window.
218
"Why are you here?" "There's a party nearby.
219
Come on." I told him that parties weren't my thing, and besides, I didn't have anything to wear.
220
"Say no more, baby girl.
221
So I went with him to the mall.
222
He bought me a cute red dress and gave me a makeover.
223
Wow, you look like someone I know. Who?
224
My next girlfriend.
225
Oh, please.
226
I went to the party with Andre and everyone was shocked upon seeing me.
227
They thought I was a totally different person.
228
While dancing with Andre, I couldn't help but notice Tanner and Lucas looking at me from across the room.
229
A girl walked up to Tanner and started dancing with him.
230
For some reason, the sight made my blood boil.
231
to the toilet and when I came back, Andre was now dancing sweetly with another girl.
232
Of course, he was a player, so I wasn't surprised.
233
Lucas followed me when I went outside to the garden.
234
I'm sorry about what happened the other day, Athena.
235
I was so stupid for doing such a horrible thing to a pretty girl like you.
236
Oh wow, from a jerk to a Romeo.
237
He really wanted to win that bet.
238
I really like you and I hope you feel the same way.
239
He looked I almost got carried away.
240
I was about to say something, but then someone snatched me away from him.
241
"Tanner!
242
What's your problem, dude?" "That's it.
243
We need to stop this.
244
I won't let you play with her feelings." "What are you talking about?
245
I really like her." "And pigs can fly, Lucas." Before they could punch each other, Andre came over to stop them, and I just stood between them,
246
looking like a confused little kitten.
247
"Cut it out, you idiots.
248
She's mine." Stay out of this, loser.
249
You're hopeless.
250
She was about to say yes to me.
251
Excuse me?
252
I don't even like you.
253
Shut up.
254
"You know what?
255
Take the Don money.
256
Here's 10 million for each of you.
257
Just leave her alone." "Best decision ever, Tanner." I was shocked.
258
Did he just give away 20 million dollars?
259
Just like that?
260
Tanner then grabbed my hand and said, "Get out of here, Athena.
261
You don't deserve to be treated like this." "Stop pretending like you really care, Tanner." So furious!
262
Cut it out!
263
I've known about the bet all this time, and I've been playing all of you idiots.
264
You all lose.
265
They were all shocked at my revelation.
266
Andre and Lucas grabbed the bags from Tanner and ran away, while Tanner just stood there, shocked.
267
I'm sorry for everything, Athena.
268
Goodbye.
269
My heart sank as I watched him walk away.
270
My wish was finally granted.
271
The jerks had finally stopped bothering me, and I should have been happy and relieved, right?
272
But I wasn't.
273
to me with shocking news.
274
Someone called Tanner had put 10 million dollars into our account.
275
We're rich!
276
Wait.
277
What?
278
What was he doing?
279
I ran to the school to talk to him, but he wasn't there.
280
For two weeks, there was no sign of Tanner.
281
Then one day, he finally showed up with a gorgeous blonde.
282
She was all over him.
283
After school, I found them kissing behind the bleachers.
284
I tore him away and asked him about the money, but he walked away saying, I don't know what you're talking about.
285
Go away.
286
As he walked away, I knew he was lying.
287
So that night, I went to his house.
288
His mom told me to wait in his room.
289
As I looked around, I saw something that shocked me.
290
My lost anklet!
291
It was placed carefully on his desk.
292
Just then the door opened and Tanner came in.
293
He looked shocked to see me and the anklet in my hand.
294
Explain this for a minute.
295
He looked like he was going to deny everything.
296
But to my surprise, he came forward and held my hand.
297
I'm sorry I agreed to that stupid bet.
298
I'm sorry that I hurt you.
299
I don't want to do that anymore.
300
I tried to forget you and what I did to you.
301
That's why I was with that girl.
302
I love you.
303
I always have since the day I first spoke to you and found your anklet.
304
Can you forgive me?
305
"Yes, Tanner.
306
I forgive you." He looked at me expectantly.
307
"Uh, that's it?
308
I said I love you." "Do you, uh…" Love me?
309
Oh yes, yes, that too!
310
He rolled his eyes at me and said, "I can't believe I fell in love with you.
311
Kinda late for that." Just shut up and kiss me now.
312

Perché questo video è ottimo per esercitarti a parlare inglese
Questo clip è un tesoro per chi vuole migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la fluidità: il dialogo è naturalissimo, con espressioni colloquiali che usi nella vita quotidiana, come "What's going on?" o "Heck yeah!". Le interazioni tra i personaggi sono piene di emozione e intonazione, perfette per esercitarti con il shadowing in inglese – una tecnica che ti aiuta a imitare il tono, il ritmo e le pause dei madrelingua. E se cerchi un shadowing site o strumenti come shadowspeak, questo video è la base perfetta per iniziare!
Analizziamo il dialogo: espressioni che suonano "vere"
Ecco tre frasi che rendono il discorso autentico e come usarle tu:
- "I got so nervous, I crashed straight into an open locker door": La struttura "got + aggettivo + comma + azione" è tipica per descrivere reazioni istantanee. Usa-la per raccontare situazioni imbarazzanti: "I got so tired, I fell asleep on the couch".
- "Your lips look lonely. Do they want to meet mine?": Il gioco di parole con "lonely" e "meet" è un esempio di humor colloquiale. Impara a usare metafore semplici per rendere le frasi più vivaci.
- "I'd rather kiss a trash can, by the way": "I'd rather" è fondamentale per esprimere preferenze forti. La risposta ironica mostra come usare il tono per trasmettere imbarazzo o rifiuto senza essere rude.
Come esercitarti con il shadowing: una routine semplice
Per migliorare la tua pronuncia e la fluidità, prova questo loop:
- Guarda il video una volta per capire il contesto e le emozioni (imbarazzo, ironia, sorpresa).
- Ripeti ogni frase dopo il personaggio, cercando di imitare il tono e la velocità. Usa un shadow speak o un app per registrare te stesso.
- Confronta la tua registrazione con il video: ascolta se le pause e le sillabe accentuate sono simili. Se sbagli, ripeti la frase finché non suona naturale.
- Fai questo esercizio 10 minuti al giorno: in una settimana noterai che la tua pronuncia inglese è più chiara e il discorso più fluido!
Ricorda: il shadowing non è solo imitare, ma capire le emozioni dietro le parole. Quindi, divertiiti a interpretare i personaggi – l'imbarazzo di Athena o l'ironia delle sue risposte! Con la pratica, anche tu parlerai inglese come un madrelingua.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
