I was about to shoot my target, when suddenly, someone appeared from the shadows and snatched the apple away.

It was the most popular guy in school, Travis, and lately, he'd been flirting with me every chance he got.

Let's play a game.

If you miss the target, I'll have to kiss you.

But if you hit it, then you'll have to kiss me.

What do you say?

Sure, why not?

Everyone knew how good I was in archery, and as expected, it was a bullseye.

Deal's a deal, cream puff.

As he closed his eyes for the kiss, I called for the school cat Loki and whispered something to it.

You can open your eyes now.

Loki scratched his face like a wild animal as I walked away.

In total satisfaction.

Hi, my name is Bianca, and I'm incapable of falling in love.

Well, that's what I thought.

But before I continue, please like and subscribe.

My mom owned a huge chain of hotels, and I was the sole heiress to the business empire.

Our family name was well known already, but I'd really made us famous.

Teen heiress seen kissing alleged gangster?

Spoiled princess seen at archaeological site closed off for public?

Princess Bianca announces to pay any amount to straighten the leaning tower of Pisa.

Each headline is worse than the one before.

Alleged gangster, Mom.

We broke up.

And you know my keen interest in history.

I had to see that sight.

And come on, am I the only one annoyed by that leaning tower?

When will you ever get serious, Bianca?

I have a private jet to catch, but we're not done with this conversation.

Yes, go to your meeting, Mom.

You didn't even remember to wish me a happy birthday but I was still celebrating in style.

I was having a huge birthday party at the newest club in town.

But my night was ruined when I saw an uninvited guest, Travis.

And he was approaching me and my BFF Carmen, as if he was God's gift to women to spite that scary face.

Hey, sugar lips, wanna dance?

Aren't you supposed to hate me for making you look like Frankenstein?

What's love without a little pain?

And I adore your feistiness.

He was all over me the whole night.

Eventually, I had to make Carmen distract him and try to escape, but he noticed and followed me like a madman.

I'm not done with you, my love.

I turned around a corner and opened a VIP door at the end of the hallway.

There were some men in suits playing poker, and they all turned to me like I was an alien.

Whoopsie, wrong room.

Thought it was the toilet.

But may I say, sir, your jacket is really cool.

Very vintage 90s.

Michael Jackson kind of vibe.

Okay, okay, I won't bother you guys.

May the best man win.

Bye!

Travis was nowhere to be seen, so I took the chance to finally leave the club.

But of course, I couldn't avoid him at school, and he was being such a nuisance that eventually, I got a restraining order against him.

My life was finally peaceful, till a few days later when Carmen told me that her cousin from the village would be joining our school.

Since when do you have a cousin?

Ever since he was born?

You never told me about him.

I love to collect snake skins and samurai swords in my basement.

I didn't tell you about those either.

What?

Friends should share everything.

I think some secrets are good.

Oh my god, my cousin's here.

I turned to this guy who was walking towards us like he was the king of the underworld.

Judging by his walk, he knew he was a fine specimen of the male species.

But suddenly, he tripped over nothing and fell into the fountain nearby.

And then he immediately got up like nothing happened.

I felt like I was watching a comic cartoon strip.

Are you sure he's not some hot model you paid to act as your clumsy cousin?

Nice way to say that he's hot and adorable.

He then spun her around like she was the cotton ball.

Carmen, my favorite girl.

I missed you so much.

The guy turned to me and I was stunned.

He was even more handsome up close and also really familiar.

You must be Bianca, Carmen's best friend.

I'm Slater.

Nice to finally meet you.

Did you just curtsy?

And have we met before?

No. Is this how city people greet each other?

Excuse us a moment.

Carmen pulled me out of Slater's earshot.

What you doing?

Uh, talking to my best friend's cousin?

Why does that require you to bring your face so close to his?

I just thought he looked really familiar.

What's your problem?

I just think you're finding an excuse to flirt with him.

Now listen up, Bianca.

You're never serious about any boy, and you just play with their feelings and dump them.

And you're not allowed to do that to my cousin.

He's not even my type.

Relax.

Just don't get involved with him that way, or it's friendship over.

Understood?

Loud and clear, ma'am.

Since then, the three of us started hanging out together, and I was having a hard time believing someone like Slater existed.

Sheer perfection on the outside, but with the poorest balance a human could possibly have.

100

He tripped, slipped, and stumbled everywhere.

101

He even got a black eye while tying his shoelaces.

102

But one night, while I was admiring one of the paintings at home, it hit me like a bolt of lightning.

103

I remembered where I'd seen Slater before.

104

You gotta trust me, Carmen.

105

Your cousin's up to something shady.

106

Mom and I attended this art exhibition downtown last month, and Slater was there.

107

He was one of the artists.

108

We even bought a painting from him.

109

Only his hair and eye color was different, but it was him, and he wasn't clumsy.

110

He must have been a lookalike.

111

Slater has lived in the village his entire life and just got here last week, and he can't even draw a circle, trust me.

112

I even showed Slater's picture to Mom, and she said it's him too.

113

Now she's contacted the artist to buy more of his work, and he's coming soon, and I'll finally know the truth.

114

You just need to give yourself something to be excited about.

115

Do what you want, but you're wrong.

116

A couple of days later, the artist called Mom to say that he had to go out of town, and he'd come to meet her next month.

117

How convenient.

118

I decided not to say anything to Slater and try to get to the bottom of his secret identity.

119

He was always hovering around me and Carmen like an annoying fly.

120

He was sure to slip up at some point.

121

I'd be watching him.

122

But one day, I was spying on him at the gym, and after seeing him miss the 100th basket, I got really bored.

123

I decided to skip the rest of school that day to get a manicure.

124

As I was walking to my car, a van suddenly stopped next to me.

125

Good day, child.

126

Would you please buy some apples from me?

127

I run an orphanage and I'd like to get some toys for the children.

128

Sure thing.

129

Just give me a basket and I'll give you.. a hundred thousand bucks.

130

I was about to take the basket from her when Slater suddenly popped out of nowhere and crashed into me.

131

Hey, you.

132

Who do you work for?

133

Show me your ID.

134

The poor lady looked terrified and just drove away.

135

What the heck was that?

136

Didn't your parents ever tell you not to take candy from strangers?

137

What if she was trying to poison you?

138

Dude, those are apples, not candy.

139

And who am I?

140

Snow White?

141

And that cute granny is trying to poison me because I'm the fairest girl in all the land!

142

This isn't funny.

143

You don't know how dangerous some situations can be.

144

Oh, please.

145

I swam with sharks last year and jumped off a hot air balloon when it malfunctioned.

146

I laugh in the face of danger.

147

And that lady just wasn't dangerous.

148

I know you're from the village and probably think everyone in the city's evil, but please stop being a weirdo.

149

But Slater just got weirder.

150

Like another time, the three of us were at a restaurant, and as soon as the waiter served our order, he started sniffing mine.

151

If you wanted me to completely lose my appetite, you succeeded.

152

What's wrong with you?

153

He also started sniffing his food and Carmen's.

154

That's how we do it in the village.

155

The first whiff of food tells you everything you need to know.

156

About what exactly?

157

About how organically the food was grown, If the farmer sang to his crops and cows.

158

I ordered a giant brownie sundae with whipped cream and sprinkles.

159

Are you insane?

160

Just give me that.

161

Just then, there was a loud crashing sound next to us, and Slater jumped towards me and brought me down to the floor, covering me like a human shield.

162

He was looking down at me, and I was a little breathless.

163

And then, I saw everyone else staring at us like we were mental.

164

Apparently, a waiter had just dropped a tray full of glasses.

165

Oh, uh, my bad.

166

I thought it was a gunshot, and maybe some robbers had come in.

167

I just acted on instinct.

168

Uh, wait, let me get this straight.

169

So you thought it was a dangerous situation and your first instinct was to save Bianca?

170

Hello?

171

What about me?

172

Your own flesh and blood?

173

Slater muttered some apologies while Carmen kept scolding him, even if he was crazy.

174

It was really sweet how he tried to protect me.

175

One weekend, Carmen told me that the cheer captain was throwing a party, just for the cheerleaders and all the boys.

176

I felt curious to see how Slater would act at parties with other girls, so I dashed over to the venue and spied from the bushes.

177

But I couldn't spot him anywhere.

178

I knew how girls looked at him.

179

He was probably surrounded by the cheerleaders.

180

Well, what did I care?

181

I took this opportunity to practice my amazing singing.

182

I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand,

183

to myself for hours, say things you don't understand.

184

Suddenly, I heard a sound right behind me.

185

Slater, what are you doing here?

186

Same question for you.

187

I came here to sing flowers.

188

Cause you know, there are flowers here.

189

Duh.

190

What about you?

191

It's too loud inside, and everyone was acting wild.

192

It was scaring me.

193

Just then, a huge bug came flying at our faces, and Slater tried to smack it away, but he ended up slapping me instead!

194

Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

195

My hand is so stupid.

196

Bad hand.

197

Gosh, Slater!

198

Why are you so freaking clumsy?

199

I don't know, just born that way.

200

But I get even clumsier around you, cause attractive girls make me nervous, and you're the most beautiful I've ever seen.

201

Wh-what do you mean?

202

You know what I mean, Bianca.

203

It suddenly hit me.

204

He was attracted to me, and that could make things complicated.

205

I had to avoid him from now on before Carmen could misinterpret things and unfriend me.

206

But the very next day, I caught him in the janitor's closet with his butt stuck in a mop bucket.

207

Jesus, what have you done this time?

208

Can you just help me, please?

209

I think I got a cramp.

210

As I pulled him up, her lips accidentally touched, and my tummy fluttered.

211

Just then, someone gasped from the door.

212

Carmen!

213

Girl, it's not what you think.

214

I followed her to an empty classroom and tried to explain.

215

I swear, there's nothing romantic going on between us.

216

He's too dumb and clumsy for me, and I'm certain he's a liar.

217

Excuse me?

218

That's my cousin you're insulting.

219

And you say these things, but I feel like you're attracted to him.

220

Just don't get attached to him, okay?

221

He's not right for you.

222

Of course, duh.

223

I already knew that.

224

But I was a bit bothered by what Carmen said.

225

Why did she think he wasn't right for me?

226

A few days later, I was practicing archery alone, when suddenly, an arrow came flying from somewhere and almost hit me.

227

I turned around and saw someone behind a tree.

228

I dashed over and found Slater.

229

What are you doing here?

230

Trying to kill me now?

231

No, what?

232

What just happened?

233

You happened, Slater.

234

You nearly sent an arrow straight into me.

235

You're a hazard to society.

236

Oh, oh God, I'm so sorry.

237

I didn't realize my arrow came your way.

238

I mean, I didn't even know anyone was here.

239

I would never hurt you, I swear.

240

But let me make it up to you with an ice cream shake.

241

Come on, let's go.

242

I wasn't finding his act convincing.

243

Why was he always around me?

244

He was beginning to seem as obsessed with me as Travis.

245

And what if he tried to hurt me on purpose with the arrow?

246

By the way, are you free tonight?

247

I want to talk to you about something.

248

Just you and me, alone.

249

Okay, sure.

250

But we're alone right now.

251

You can't tell me over ice cream shakes?

252

What ice cream shakes?

253

Oh, yeah, that.

254

No, tonight's better.

255

I'll send you the pin location.

256

Driver, I'll get off here.

257

Thanks.

258

See you later, Bianca.

259

And then he just jumped out of the car and walked away.

260

This dude was so weird, but I was really curious about what he had to say.

261

Later that night, I was surprised to learn where he was taking me.

262

The rooftop of an old building.

263

There was no elevator, so we had to climb eight flights of stairs.

264

And he was holding on to my shirt like a kid.

265

Wait, what if he tried to push me down?

266

Can you move away?

267

I need some personal space.

268

But what if I trip and fall down the stairs?

269

You know how clumsy I get.

270

Why would you invite me to a rooftop then, idiot?

271

You'll see.

272

When we finally reached the top, I was surprised to see a candlelit dinner.

273

What's all this?

274

Obviously a date.

275

Were you expecting a crime scene?

276

Didn't your cousin warn you about me?

277

She did, but I just don't see why she's so against the idea of you being my girlfriend.

278

You're beautiful and amazing.

279

She.. she was trying to protect you because I have a history of not being good with relationships.

280

May I know why?

281

And before I knew it, I just found myself opening up.

282

Growing up, I saw how my dad broke my mom's heart and left her for another woman.

283

Since then, mom's not even the same person.

284

She just buries herself in work.

285

And dad kind of broke my heart too.

286

Leaving like that?

287

I'm just afraid to let anyone come close.

288

I know that you don't trust me, but I hope that someday you will, and I'll get to know you better.

289

I feel like you're someone worth knowing.

290

He looked at me earnestly and then started leaning in.

291

I found myself closing my eyes, and when his lips touched mine, I felt something electric.

292

Wait, that was a mistake, Slater.

293

I care a lot about my friendship with Carmen.

294

I can't.

295

Okay, I understand.

296

But later that night, all I could think about was Slater and that kiss.

297

Maybe I could talk to Carmen and she'd come around, but I still couldn't shake off the idea that Slater was lying about himself.

298

As luck would have it, Mom told me the next day that the artist was back in town, and he was displaying his work at a gallery that night.

299

Well, Slater wasn't gonna be the only one in disguise.

300

I went dressed up as someone completely different, and I was thrilled to see him.

301

He might have a different style, but I was certain it was Slater.

302

And as I was walking past him, I accidentally tripped and fell forward, scraping his arm with my pen.

303

I'm so sorry.

304

I'm not very good with the walking.

305

Uh, clumsy, like you people say.

306

Oh, it bleeds.

307

It's fine, miss.

308

I'm okay.

309

Excuse me.

310

I need to use the bathroom.

311

And the next day at school, Slater was wearing a full-sleeved shirt just like I'd expected.

312

So I spilled my juice all over him.

313

Oh my god, you're wet.

314

You'll have to change your shirt.

315

It's fine, it'll dry up.

316

No, you'll get sick.

317

I won't.

318

I'm as strong as a cow.

319

I tried a few more tricks, but he was able to avoid all of them.

320

I guess I just had to do it by force.

321

After our classes, I followed him outside school.

322

And just as I was ready to jump on him from behind, he turned around and pinned me to the wall.

323

Bianca, why were you trying to attack me?

324

How did you know, Spider-Man?

325

And all I wanted to do was this.

326

I pulled up his sleeve, and sure enough, he had a long cut on his arm.

327

Ha!

328

So you're really that artist.

329

I've exposed you, you big fat.

330

Suddenly, there was a growl behind me.

331

I turned to see two guys holding two rabid dogs and pointing at us.

332

Bianca, just run.

333

Slater grabbed my hand, and we ran like crazy from the dogs.

334

After sprinting down several blocks, he pulled me into an old building, and we ran up the stairs.

335

We climbed all the way to the rooftop and we could hear those guys behind us.

336

Okay, there's no other choice.

337

We gotta jump.

338

Excuse me?

339

I must have heard you wrong.

340

And what is going on?

341

Questions later and what's the matter?

342

I thought you laughed in the face of danger.

343

Ha ha.

344

Now is not the time to be sarcastic.

345

Just hold on to me and you'll be fine.

346

Do you trust me?

347

Of course I don't trust you.

348

You're the clumsiest idiot I've ever met.

349

Listen, Bianca, I'm not who you really think I am.

350

I just need you to trust me right now, okay?

351

I won't let anything happen to you.

352

I promise.

353

My instincts told me to trust him, and I did.

354

And what happened next was the most thrilling thing ever.

355

We went flying through the air, then landed straight in a garbage dump.

356

Ew, fish heads.

357

Come on, this isn't over yet.

358

I needed answers about why I was currently running a marathon with my BFF's mystery cousin around the city.

359

Slater, why are these people after us?

360

Listen, something happened.

361

He didn't get to finish because the gangsters finally cornered us.

362

Slater pushed me inside one of the diners as he started fighting them, expertly.

363

What were these Kung Fu ninja moves?

364

He was so hot.

365

Just then, one of the guys came up behind him with a metal chair.

366

I looked around for anything I could throw at that scumbag before he could hurt Slater.

367

Bullseye.

368

That's my girl.

369

Just then, a bunch of policemen arrived and surrounded the men, and Slater pulled out a badge.

370

You're under arrest.

371

What?

372

He was a detective?

373

As those jerks were being taken away, Slater finally told me everything, starting with how I unknowingly got involved with an international mafia gang.

374

You walked in on them one night at the dance club and saw something you weren't supposed to see.

375

You've been in danger since then.

376

Oh, those guys!

377

But I swear I didn't even see anything!

378

They couldn't be sure of that, so you've been their target since.

379

I was already in town looking for this gang and posing as an undercover artist, but when we found out that they were looking for you, I joined your school to be closer.

380

We also thought we could catch them using you.

381

You mean, using me as bait?

382

I didn't mean use you like that.

383

We just knew they'd come after you.

384

So, that date on the rooftop?

385

Was that also a ploy to get the gang members there?

386

Um, well yeah.

387

We had police hidden all over that building.

388

But I think the gang realized it was a trap.

389

Everything made sense now.

390

He was just pretending to be interested all along

391

so he could be around me for my protection and to catch the bad guys.

392

I was just a mission for him.

393

You saved my life.

394

Thank you.

395

I just did my job.

396

I'm glad you're safe now.

397

I gotta report to headquarters soon, so...

398

Yeah, great job.

399

Goodbye then.

400

As I walked away, I suddenly felt sad and empty, and the next day at school, Slater was gone.

401

I demanded more answers from Carmen.

402

Slater really is my cousin.

403

He became a detective at a young age, and he doesn't tell us much about his job.

404

But after that restaurant incident where he was clearly protecting you, I asked him what was going on, and he said it was something related to you, but it was confidential.

405

So that's why you didn't want us to get closer.

406

Yes, because he was just here for his job and he doesn't form attachments.

407

I didn't want you to get hurt.

408

I'm sorry.

409

What for?

410

I can see it in your eyes, Bianca.

411

You're in love with him, but I don't think he can make you happy.

412

Oh, please.

413

I've told you, I'll never fall in love with anyone.

414

If you say so.

415

Over the next few days, I tried my best to get back to normal, but I couldn't get Slater out of my mind.

416

Even mom noticed something was up with me.

417

Haven't seen any crazy headlines lately.

418

No new adventures?

419

Yeah, it's been kinda quiet, but I did make one stupid mistake.

420

Falling in love.

421

Mom sat down beside me and then pulled me into an awkward hug.

422

Sweetie, I know you've been affected by what your dad did, but don't close your heart off.

423

Falling in love isn't stupid, and you'll find the right guy one day.

424

And it'll be amazing.

425

Trust me.

426

Mom decided to take some time off work and we planned a vacation together.

427

But just as I was leaving for the airport, I heard a loud crash from the main hall and saw Slater had pinned Travis to the ground.

428

Slater?

429

Travis?

430

What are you both doing here?

431

Bianca, my cream puff.

432

I couldn't go on any longer without seeing you.

433

I can't live like this.

434

You really need to tighten security around here.

435

Found him crawling through the dog door.

436

As Slater handed over a screaming Travis to the guards, he turned to me.

437

Why are you here, Slater?

438

Same reason as Travis, actually.

439

I really missed you.

440

Wait, where are you going?

441

Sorry, can't disclose the location.

442

It's top secret.

443

So whatever you want, make it fast.

444

I got another mission.

445

Okay, so what is it?

446

I need you to fall in love with me and be my girl.

447

Oh, well.

448

That sounds like it's gonna be a very hard mission.

449

I'm not afraid of challenging assignments.

450

He pulled me in for a kiss, and then hit his forehead against mine.

451

So you're naturally clumsy.

452

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
