I'd just finished five photo shoots in London,

attended a fashion show in Paris,

done an interview for Vogue Italia,

and now my exhausted body was about to have some pampering in the fanciest hotel in Greece,

all by myself.

Suddenly, I heard a loud bang in my room.

I went to go check what it was,

and I was shocked to see one of my luggage bags moving.

I slowly opened it, and a creepy stranger suddenly sprang out from it,

while sniffing my favorite dress.

My bodyguards rushed as I screamed in horror.

This is a serious invasion of my privacy!

Take him away right now!

Iris, I'm begging you.

Just one kiss and a selfie.

I'm your number one fan!

Oh, please.

Can I ever get a freaking break?

Hi, my name is Iris,

and I'm a famous supermodel with a billionaire boyfriend.

It might sound like every teenage girl's dream,

but for me, it was my worst nightmare.

Before I continue, please like and subscribe.

The hotel incident was circulating on the news in no time,

and as soon as I reached my parents,

they immediately fired my bodyguards.

I forced my manager to clear my schedule for a week so I could just breathe,

but the universe literally said no. While I was doing yoga in my room,

someone suddenly barged in.

It was my new boyfriend, Rocco.

He was the son of an A-list actor,

and he seemed pretty cool.

Not to mention, really, really hot.

Rocco, what are you doing here?

It's been eight minutes since my last chat.

Why aren't you replying?

You came all the way here just for that?

No, I came here to do this.

Will you marry me?

What the freaking craps?

Are you crazy?

We'd been dating for like five days.

You made me believe you loved me.

I don't even know your eye color, Rocco.

Suddenly, he started bawling like a baby on the floor.

Oh my god, my heart, it hurts so bad.

What the heck are you doing?

I love you, Iris.

I won't leave until you say yes.

He really meant it, and I had to have him thrown out by security.

After all the crazy incidents with the paparazzi and my fans,

Rocco was the last straw,

and I'd finally had enough.

I was tired of being worshipped and followed because I was a famous model.

One day as I was watching my favorite channel MSA,

I came across a video of a model who got plastic surgery to change her identity.

It would be amazing to just disappear and return as a completely different person.

Wait, that was actually a great idea!

I tried on a black wig with bangs to cover my eyes,

changed my eye color from blue to green,

threw in some makeup and baggy clothes,

and I couldn't even recognize myself.

screamed upon seeing me and almost reported me as a trespasser.

I told him about my plan of giving up my career and identity for a while,

and dad told me I was crazy.

No, dad, I'm not.

I just want to be a normal girl living a normal life with no bodyguards and obsessed fans around me 24-7.

I want to live somewhere else that no one knows about.

I've been homeschooled all my life,

And now I want to go to an actual school and have friends.

Please, let me have this.

I'm begging you.

They were speechless for a whole minute.

Do as you please, sweetheart.

Take a break for as long as you want.

You deserve it.

Dad?

Fine, but on one condition.

I'll choose the apartment for you and you have to take at least two maids with you.

Deal.

And just like that, I was off to a new chapter in my life as the cool and mysterious Siri.

As I was walking towards the school building on my first day,

I suddenly stopped upon seeing a scary dog in the middle of the road.

And when it started to chase me,

suddenly a skateboard came flying into the air, scaring it away.

Gosh, that was close.

I turned to my savior, and he was cute.

Hey there, thanks for saving my life.

What?

I was just doing a backflip and my skateboard slipped.

You still saved my life.

What's your name?

You're not my type, sweetcake, so move on.

Wait, did he just reject me?

Well, that was something new.

I had never felt so lost when I finally got into the school building.

Everyone was wearing Louis Vuitton,

Gucci, Chanel, Hermes, and Prada,

and they were all fake.

100

Was this an actual school or an amateur fashion club?

101

Everyone was looking at me like I was wearing something disgusting.

102

Was it because of my oversized hoodie?

103

But I had to look as different as I possibly could from my original self.

104

When I finally got into my class,

105

no one even glanced at me.

106

For the first time, I felt invisible.

107

And I wasn't complaining.

108

I headed to an empty seat,

109

but before I could finally sit,

110

a girl put gum on it.

111

I don't sit with losers.

112

Me?

113

A loser?

114

Huh?

115

Just then, a familiar guy came in.

116

It was the skater boy.

117

Hey, do you remember me?

118

We met earlier today.

119

Are you stalking me?

120

Just give it up, Sweetcakes.

121

I was already here, and my name isn't Sweetcakes, it's Siri.

122

So, you're like the real-life Siri, iPhone's virtual assistant?

123

I just spelled my name backward for this identity,

124

and that hadn't even crossed my mind.

125

Hey guys, we got the real-life Siri.

126

Over here.

127

Then they all started making fun of my fake name,

128

and it was so annoying.

129

Hey Siri, can I eat my shoes without dying?

130

Hey Siri, would a worm eat a dead worm?

131

I put my headphones on,

132

but Skater Boy took them off.

133

Why aren't you answering our questions?

134

Are you glitching or something?

135

Haven't you heard of the latest Apple update?

136

Siri won't answer stupid questions from now on.

137

I didn't know Siri was actually feisty.

138

Just then, a familiar girl entered,

139

and her eyes went straight to me.

140

OMG, what a terrible day to have eyes.

141

That outfit is horrible.

142

Someone take this new girl out of this room right now.

143

Stop acting like you're the fashion queen, Peyton.

144

Remember how you got rejected for a commercial and never made it as a model?

145

And your tantrum video went viral?

146

Those people were just blind.

147

I couldn't believe they chose that trash Iris over me.

148

She stole my place.

149

Iris is not trash.

150

Iris is a goddess.

151

Wait, Iris?

152

Sorry to butt in, but are you guys talking about the supermodel?

153

Yes, the worst supermodel of all time.

154

Oh, now I remembered this girl.

155

She'd auditioned with me for the commercial that launched my career,

156

and she'd thrown a huge tantrum when she wasn't selected.

157

And Skater Boy actually had a crush on me.

158

How interesting.

159

Soon, I learned that his name was Marcus.

160

He was living in the same neighborhood as mine,

161

and he was famous for his pranks.

162

One time, he brought a freaking cow to school and left it at the top of the stairs.

163

No one knew how he managed to do it.

164

Another time, he stole the teacher's necklace and replaced it with a fake snake.

165

And she literally passed out.

166

He was insane.

167

One day in the library,

168

I was trying to get a book from a higher shelf,

169

but I couldn't reach it.

170

And he suddenly appeared behind me.

171

You need help?

172

Yes, please.

173

I need that book over there.

174

To my surprise, he transferred it to the very top shelf instead and walked off.

175

Ugh, he was really something else.

176

It was lunchtime and I was starving.

177

As a model, I was always on a very strict diet.

178

But now, I could eat whatever I wanted.

179

No one wanted to sit with me,

180

so I chose a table at the corner.

181

And just then, Marcus came over with his friends.

182

This is our table.

183

Go away.

184

Sorry, I didn't see your name on it.

185

Can't we share it?

186

We can, but on one condition.

187

You have to clean my skateboard later.

188

I ran over a huge pile of poop.

189

No thanks.

190

I'd rather eat on the floor.

191

And with that, I did what I said.

192

And everyone looked so confused.

193

Marcus started calling me a weirdo since then.

194

Over the next few days,

195

I noticed that Peyton kept spreading fake information about me, the model Iris.

196

She obviously hated me and wanted everyone to join the club.

197

I heard that her breath smells like cat's poop and her head is full of dandruff.

198

And all her boyfriends ditched her because she's too clingy.

199

Oh my god, ew, why is she even a model?

200

You're way better than her, girl.

201

I know, right?

202

So unfair.

203

I don't deserve this.

204

I was about to say something,

205

but someone did it for me first.

206

Stop farting through your mouth, Peyton.

207

Those are all lies.

208

Truth hurts, darling.

209

I heard she quit modeling.

210

Maybe she finally realized she isn't anything special.

211

Yet somehow, she's a famous supermodel with tons of fans,

212

and you've got this lame haters club in school.

213

You seem obsessed with her.

214

Marcus burst out laughing and shouted, you tell her, weirdo.

215

While Peyton looked furious, I thought she'd ripped my hair out,

216

but instead she just stormed off angrily.

217

On my way to class the next day,

218

a girl bumped into me and spilled her coffee all over my shirt right before a presentation.

219

Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

220

She offered to lend me her extra shirt in her locker,

221

and I thought that was really nice of her.

222

But in the middle of the presentation,

223

I started scratching myself and I couldn't stop.

224

Soon, everyone was laughing like wild hyenas, including Marcus.

225

When I saw my reflection,

226

I could barely recognize myself.

227

My skin was red and bloated.

228

I looked like a puffer fish.

229

Just then, I saw Peyton and that girl high-fiving.

230

I knew they'd planned this.

231

Oh, I was so gonna make her pay.

232

I was then sent to the clinic,

233

and the nurse told me to continue my treatment at home.

234

Later that night, I was about to sleep when someone crashed through my window.

235

I grabbed a bat to attack the intruder,

236

and then I realized it was Marcus.

237

Relax, weirdo.

238

It's just me.

239

Oh, no. I didn't have my wig and contact lens on.

240

I grabbed my shades and wrapped a pillowcase around my hair before facing him.

241

Why are you wearing that at midnight?

242

You look like a stupid sushi roll.

243

I don't have to explain myself to you.

244

Anyway, get out!

245

You're trespassing!

246

Passing.

247

Calm down, okay?

248

I just wanted to give you this.

249

An apology gift for laughing at you earlier.

250

I was about to smile when I realized that it was a pufferfish.

251

Seriously?

252

Ow.

253

He then told me that he overheard Peyton and her friend talking about how they'd put some chemical on that shirt.

254

That was really uncool.

255

Let's go to her house tonight and release tons of bugs in her room.

256

No, I don't like that kind of revenge.

257

It's lame.

258

Tell me what's not lame then.

259

Oh, you'll know it tomorrow.

260

The next day, I surprised everyone by wearing the most expensive Gucci hoodie

261

and boots as I walked in the hallway like a fashion model.

262

You think you're a star now just because you're wearing fake Gucci?

263

Wake up, dummy.

264

You're dreaming.

265

Are you talking about yourself?

266

I slapped her with the receipt of the items,

267

and she suddenly forgot how to speak.

268

Dude, that was so cool.

269

You literally ate that witch alive.

270

That's how you do it.

271

Teach me your ways, senpai.

272

Only if you'll stop making fun of me.

273

That's kind of hard, but I'll try.

274

Marcus and I became closer over the next few months.

275

I always had fun with him,

276

even when he talked about Iris 90% of the time.

277

One time he took me to his place,

278

and I was shocked to see how many posters he had of me.

279

Just look at her.

280

How can someone be that perfect?

281

It's just unfair to every other girl.

282

No one could ever measure up to her.

283

Wow, he was beginning to sound as loco as Rocco.

284

But at least there was no danger he'd ever be obsessed with Siri.

285

One weekend we went to the park and he taught me some skateboarding tricks.

286

As a model, I was always careful never to do anything that might get me injured.

287

But this was really fun.

288

In the very next second,

289

the skateboard slipped from under my feet and I went flying backwards.

290

But before my head could hit the ground, Marcus caught me.

291

Whoa, easy there.

292

You okay?

293

His face was so close to mine as he looked down in concern,

294

and I noticed for the first time how lovely his eyes were.

295

Hello.

296

You're kinda heavy, girl.

297

Can you please try to stand up now?

298

I immediately jumped to my feet.

299

Heavy?

300

I was model thin.

301

Jerk.

302

We skateboarded a bit more and then fell onto the grass to rest.

303

Can I ask you a question, Marcus?

304

You already asked, dummy.

305

Why do you love Iris?

306

I mean, how do you love a person when you haven't even met her?

307

Is it just because she's pretty?

308

Three years back, my sister got sick and in the hospital,

309

this beautiful girl paid a visit to the kids there and gave them some gifts.

310

I'll never forget how sweet and kind she was to my sister.

311

I didn't know then that she was actually a supermodel.

312

And since then, I started admiring her from afar.

313

I told you, she's perfect.

314

Oh, so he actually liked me for that and not just because I was pretty.

315

And I felt like I wanted to tell him the truth about me.

316

But I couldn't.

317

Not yet.

318

A few days later, some girls were drooling over a guy in the hallway.

319

And I almost choked on my saliva when I realized who it was.

320

Rocco?

321

Oh my god.

322

What was he doing here?

323

I need to find Iris.

324

My heart told me she was here.

325

I could literally smell her.

326

As I ran to the restroom,

327

my wig got caught on something and it almost fell off.

328

I quickly ran to the restroom and fixed it before anyone noticed.

329

Phew.

330

And then I called my dad to tell him about this.

331

He suggested transferring to another school,

332

but something was stopping me.

333

I'd just settled in and, well, there was Marcus.

334

But thank God Rocco was gone when I got out.

335

A few days later, our drama club teacher decided to pair me with Marcus.

336

And there was a scene where we had to kiss,

337

and we needed to practice it in front of everyone.

338

Yuck.

339

No way I'm kissing her.

340

He then pretended to throw up.

341

What's wrong with kissing me?

342

It's not a big deal.

343

I just don't want my lips to be tainted by yours.

344

Excuse me?

345

My lips are not poisonous or gross.

346

The audience started chanting for us to kiss already,

347

but he kept making lame excuses to delay it.

348

Oh, the irony.

349

He was obsessed with Iris, but allergic to Siri.

350

And it was so confusing.

351

Our teacher lost her patience,

352

so we had no choice but to do it.

353

I closed my eyes, and as his lips touched mine,

354

I felt a storm of butterflies in my stomach.

355

He immediately pulled away and yelled,

356

This is officially the worst day of my life.

357

He was pissing me off.

358

I just stormed off after drama class and ignored him all day.

359

Later when I was walking back home,

360

he caught up with me.

361

Hey, are you in a bad mood or something?

362

You left without waiting for me.

363

So?

364

I can do whatever I want.

365

You can't find your way home without me?

366

What's the matter with you?

367

Nothing.

368

Can't a girl walk in peace?

369

Oh, come on.

370

Is it about the kiss?

371

I'm sorry if I overreacted.

372

It's not about that.

373

But kissing me is not yuck, okay?

374

There are tons of boys who love to kiss me.

375

Oh yeah?

376

Who'd want to kiss a weirdo like you?

377

Oh, you have no idea, dude.

378

So what?

379

Did you actually want me to.. enjoy it?

380

No, I didn't want you to, but yeah, you should've.

381

I've been told I'm a really good kisser.

382

Okay, let me try it again then.

383

I was caught off guard when he suddenly pulled me into a very hot kiss.

384

I was catching my breath as he finally let go of me.

385

That was...wow.

386

I didn't want to kiss you before because I wanted our first kiss to be special.

387

He then turned around and left, leaving me completely stunned.

388

I wasn't able to sleep that night because I couldn't stop thinking about our mind-blowing kiss.

389

He liked me.

390

The next day, he wasn't talking to me all day and it was pure torture.

391

Should I tell him the truth and admit my feelings for him now?

392

I had to.

393

Tonight.

394

Unfortunately, Peyton got bored and threw a huge party.

395

I learned that Marcus was going, so I did too.

396

Only to regret it instantly.

397

Because just 10 minutes into the party,

398

Peyton suddenly gathered everyone's attention.

399

I prepared a little show for you guys.

400

Are you ready to see it?

401

She started showing pictures of me as Iris.

402

Oh, so she was doing her smear campaigns during parties now?

403

Did you guys know that this famous model...

404

Suddenly, she splashed water on my face and took my wig off.

405

Has been here with us the whole time?

406

Yes, I discovered your little secret in the bathroom one day.

407

So you got bored of your perfect life and decided to fool us all?

408

Oh my god!

409

I met Marcus's eyes across the room,

410

and he looked super shocked.

411

No, this couldn't be happening.

412

Just then, the crowd went wild,

413

and before they could jump on me,

414

I ran out of her mansion and called Dad to take me home.

415

The news instantly reached mainstream media,

416

so I was forced to quit school and filed a restraining order against Rocco before he could come looking for me again.

417

I'd been trying to contact Marcus to explain everything,

418

but he never returned my calls,

419

and it was killing me.

420

One day, my parents went on a business trip and I was left alone in our mansion.

421

Just then, I heard someone yelling downstairs.

422

I walked to the balcony and saw Marcus being held down by my bodyguards.

423

Siri, Iris, whatever your name is,

424

I just want to talk to you.

425

Please.

426

Let go of him, boys.

427

My heart was pounding hard as I met with him downstairs.

428

Marcus, what are you doing here?

429

He just threw a magazine in front of me and said,

430

I want an autograph.

431

Huh?

432

Did he come here as a fan or what?

433

I picked it up, and while I was signing it,

434

he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hug.

435

I missed you so much.

436

I-I missed you too, and I'm sorry for lying to you.

437

I was supposed to tell you that day.

438

There's no need to explain.

439

You had your reasons, I understand.

440

Then what took you so long to see me?

441

I needed more time to think.

442

I was so confused.

443

I have always idolized Iris and always thought that she was the love of my life.

444

But then you came as Ciri and everything changed.

445

I couldn't stop thinking about you since the first time I saw you.

446

Really?

447

For me, it was much later.

448

Yeah, okay, whatever.

449

Be the supermodel or the annoying weirdo, I don't care.

450

As long as it's you.

451

I love you.

452

I love you too.

453

Now, what should I call you?

454

I haven't thought about that yet.

455

As of now, just call me yours.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
