Oh my god, bestie!
20
Maybe he secretly likes you.
21
Nah, he just tried to help me.
22
Well, he never talked to any girl before, so it definitely meant something.

So what if it does?

41
Get me some fresh orange juice, quick.

Hello?
43
Do I look like a maid to you?

Trust me, he's a nice guy.

When I came to school the next day, I saw all the girls gathered in the parking lot.
56
I checked to see what all the chaos was about
57
and saw Liam coming out of his golden chopper with his bodyguards rolling out a red carpet for him.
58
What was he doing here?
59
Morgan, the most annoying brat in the world,
60
accidentally tripped over something invisible right in front It's worth $237 .69 million,
61
and now it's dirty.
62
I need some love and comfort." Liam ignored her and grabbed a megaphone instead.
63
"Attention, everyone.
64
Call yourself lucky, because I'm joining your school now.
65
And ladies, I know I'm super handsome and irresistible, but unfortunately for you, I'm unavailable." He sounded so pompous,
66
but Morgan and the rest of like depressed vegetables.
67
And they didn't look happy to see him walking down the hallway with me, or sitting right next to me during class.
68
But for some reason, all I could think about was Axel's empty seat at the back.
69
Later that day, we had some important exam results being posted on the bulletin board.
70
And I was shocked when I didn't see my name at the top spot.
71
Holy mother of frogs.
72
It was Axel this time.
73
I don't understand.
74
He either sleeps in class or doesn't even attend them.
75
But he's always in the top five.
76
And now he's freaking number one?
77
How is he beating me?
78
Maybe he studies in dark alleys all night after beating someone up.
79
As I turned around, I crashed straight into someone behind me.
80
It was Axel.
81
"Okay, then.
82
Why don't you tell us?" "It's a secret.
83
I'll have to come a bit closer." As he bent his head down to my ear, I suddenly felt my heart skip a beat.
84
He brushed a strand of hair away and whispered, "I'm just really, really smart.
85
Smarter than you, for sure.
86
I might be smarter than Einstein himself." Gosh, he was so arrogant.
87
I was about to push him away when suddenly, Liam did it for me.
88
Who are you?
89
And can you step away from Olivia?
90
I could ask you the same thing, but I'm not interested actually.
91
Axel turned around and left, and Liam looked really annoyed.
92
As I started walking down the hallway, he followed me and asked me out for dinner that night so we could catch up.
93
That sounded nice, and I agreed.
94
He took me to a really fancy restaurant, and we were having a good time. at the waiter.
95
I ordered a sizzling steak.
96
Not your stupidity.
97
Liam, what are you doing?
98
It looked completely fine.
99
The chef came out and asked us what the problem was.
100
The steak doesn't sizzle enough, and it's not even the center of the plate.
101
This is the stupidest food presentation I've ever seen.
102
You're fired.
103
Sir, you can't do that.
104
I own this restaurant.
105
My dad owns half the city, We're leaving.
106
As we stepped outside, I turned to him furiously.
107
Liam, you're unbelievable!
108
How can you talk to people like that?
109
I can talk to anyone, any way I want.
110
Olivia, this was supposed to be a perfect date and they ruined it.
111
I'm only angry because it meant so much to me.
112
No one ruined anything except for you.
113
Wait, a date?
114
I thought this was just dinner between friends.
115
Come on, I told every girl in school that I'm unavailable.
116
And you must know that everyone is expecting us to be together, right?
117
I want it.
118
Our families want it.
119
But I don't want it.
120
I don't even think of you that way.
121
And who are you to decide things for me?
122
Why are you being so difficult?
123
Don't mess things up like this, Liam.
124
I miss the old you.
125
The sweet little boy who used to be my best friend.
126
I want that person back.
127
I won't just settle for being your friend, Olivia.
128
I'll do anything to be more than that.
129
And at that moment, I just knew that things would never be the same between us.
130
The next day at the canteen, Tori and I spotted Axel in one corner looking anxious as he talked to someone over the phone.
131
He's probably talking to his advisor.
132
Advisor? For what?
133
Every mafia boss has his own advisor, and they're probably planning on their next victim.
134
I tapped her head to snap her out of her crazy ideas, but my curiosity about Axel grew even more.
135
disappeared.
136
As he walked off, I decided to follow him and saw him heading to the library.
137
Now was my chance to see how he studied, but he just spread out his notes put his head down, and fell asleep.
138
I tiptoed and snuck closer to see those notes, and noticed that he had such cute handwriting.
139
Suddenly, a hand grabbed mine, and when I turned my head, our lips almost touched.
140
Was he awake all this time?
141
I -I just wanted to grab that book next to your notes.
142
I have a really important question to ask you, Olivia.
143
It's now or never.
144
Um, yeah?
145
What is it?
146
What lotion do you use?
147
Your hands are really soft.
148
Realizing that he was still I really need to pee.
149
Bye!
150
Later that day, I was in the school elevator when he stepped in to join me.
151
Please don't talk about the notes.
152
Please don't talk about the notes.
153
So, what was your deal with my notes earlier?
154
Still trying to figure out how I'm getting better grades than you?
155
I told you.
156
I was aiming for that book beside you.
157
He just smirked at me and was about to say something, when suddenly, Liam slipped in.
158
There you are.
159
I've been looking for you everywhere.
160
Axel started calling for help while Liam started pestering me.
161
Why are you ignoring me?
162
Is this about last night?
163
Fine.
164
I'll let that stupid chef go this once.
165
Could we please focus on the problem right now?
166
We're basically stuck and it's so hot.
167
Let's make it hotter then.
168
Without any warning, Liam took off his shirt and I was stunned.
169
When I turned to my right, Axel did the same and-- holy cheese!
170
My soul had the body of a Greek god.
171
And I looked like a stupid potato between them.
172
Wh -wh -wh -why did you take off your shirt too?
173
You're right, it's really hot.
174
I might die of hyperthermia and suffocation.
175
Before I could collapse, the elevator doors finally opened.
176
Oh, thank God.
177
I immediately rushed to the restroom and used my inhaler to calm myself from the traumatic incident.
178
One night, while I was giving out food and cash to some beggars, I spotted someone in a leather jacket exchanging something with a suspicious guy across the street.
179
I realized that it was Axel.
180
I got out of my limo to secretly follow them as they passed through an alley
181
and entered a door that led to a basement.
182
Oh my god, was this their hideout?
183
I was expecting to see a room full of gangsters, but it was the complete opposite.
184
There were nerdy -looking guys solving Rubik's Cubes with super -difficult shapes everywhere.
185
Only one who looked different.
186
What in the world?
187
I met Axel's eyes across the room and he looked so shocked to see me that he fell off his chair.
188
He acted like nothing had happened and continued solving his cube, but I couldn't help but smile.
189
He was so cute.
190
After the game, he was awarded second place, but he didn't seem happy about it.
191
He walked up to me with a disappointed face.
192
I lost by 1 .5 seconds because I got distracted when I saw you.
193
It's the 57th Digital Qualifier Next Generation Championship Cup, and I should have won it to complete my badges.
194
So, he was actually a nerd who happened to look like a bad boy?
195
I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to follow you.
196
Suddenly, the scariest nerd that I had ever seen charge toward Axel like a raging bull.
197
I bet five million dollars on you to win, and I need to get it back, you loser.
198
Get him, guys!
199
Time to go.
200
Axel grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the building.
201
We fled on his motorbike, but the nerdy goons kept following us until we reached the countryside.
202
Suddenly, it started raining really hard and we could hardly see anything.
203
Axel had no choice but to pull over to the nearest waiting shed.
204
Both of us were soaked to the bone as we sat on the single bench.
205
It looks like the rain wasn't stopping tonight and it was already so late.
206
I called my parents to tell them that I was sleeping at Tori's house so they wouldn't be worried.
207
I'm sorry you got dragged into all of this.
208
No, no, it was my fault.
209
I shouldn't have followed you.
210
You lost the game because of me.
211
It's fine.
212
There are thousands of upcoming games anyway.
213
I grabbed the chance to reveal our ridiculous theories about him, and it was my first time seeing him laugh.
214
So you're telling me that all nerds are supposed to be blind and aren't allowed to wear leather jackets?
215
It was my first time seeing one.
216
You're shaking.
217
He must be very cold.
218
He took his leather jacket off and wrapped it around me, pulling me into a hug.
219
I hope my body heat can make you feel better.
220
Um, yeah, it's helping.
221
I'm relieved.
222
Feeling so safe in his arms, I found myself closing my eyes with a smile.
223
on Axel's shoulder for hours.
224
It was morning already.
225
I woke him up and re -rushed to the nearest store to buy some decent clothes.
226
We changed into new ones and as we went to school together, everyone looked stunned.
227
But Liam looked furious.
228
He immediately pulled me aside.
229
Are you out of your mind?
230
Why did you come with that stupid gangster.
231
Buzz off Liam, it's none of your business.
232
I can't believe you're choosing him over me.
233
We basically grew up together.
234
Axel suddenly came up to me and handed me my undershirt from last night.
235
You forgot this in my bag.
236
Everyone dramatically gasped, and I turned into the ripest tomato.
237
I purposely started coughing to distract everyone, but it only made Liam and Axel race to get my inhaler from my bag.
238
Back off, man.
239
You back off, idiot.
240
Suddenly, Morgan jumped in between them.
241
Boys, stop fighting over that trash with Stupid lungs!
242
"I'm right here.
243
One of you can have me.
244
I'll take either of you." Both the boys ignored her and continued flaring at each other.
245
"Okay, that's enough." I'm not a damsel in distress who needs constant saving.
246
I'm totally fine.
247
Tori couldn't stop teasing me about everything that happened.
248
I'm loving the fact that two hotties are fighting over you, but I'm team Axel, obviously.
249
Liam is the villain in this story.
250
Tori, I swear to God, my life is not a cheesy fanfiction.
251
Hmm, seems like it anyway.
252
She then walked away with a teasing smile.
253
In the following days, Axel and I started hanging out, and it drove Liam even crazier.
254
having fun with him he even introduced me to his friends
255
at their club one time i tried to touch his favorite cube but he panicked Be careful.
256
You have to hold it gently.
257
It's the sixth generation, fully functional, limited edition cube.
258
God, he was such a hot nerd.
259
Don't worry.
260
I'll handle it with care.
261
And then, I surprised him by solving it in less than a minute.
262
Brains and beauty?
263
You're really something else, Olivia.
264
Suddenly, Liam appeared out of nowhere and challenged him.
265
Let's have a polo match, tomorrow after school, one on one.
266
The winner can date Olivia, while the loser should back off.
267
Forever.
268
Are you out of your mind?
269
I'm not a freaking trophy for a stupid competition.
270
To my surprise, Axel replied, "See you tomorrow, then." As Liam walked off, I turned to Axel angrily, but he took my hand.
271
It's the only way for him to back off.
272
I promise, I'll win this.
273
Okay, but be careful.
274
I don't trust Liam to play fair.
275
I was their only audience the next day, and I was a bundle of nerves.
276
Minutes into the game, Axel was already being Liam's butt effortlessly.
277
Are you ready to lose?
278
Ask that to yourself, idiot.
279
To my surprise, Liam suddenly hit Axel's horse with his mallet, causing it to panic and throw him off.
280
Liam then grabbed the chance to hit the ball and shoot it at the goal.
281
He then came up to me and smirked.
282
"You're mine now, whether you like it or not." "Over my dead body, Liam.
283
You're not my best friend anymore.
284
You're a monster." "A very sexy and attractive monster." Axel got up and glared at him.
285
"You clearly cheated.
286
This is not fair.
287
We never had any rules,
288
loser." is helping you win me over?
289
You're just making me dislike you more!
290
What do you think your parents would say if they learn their little princess is dating a gangster?
291
Where's your proof?
292
Axel is a decent guy and he's also a genius.
293
You really like him, don't you?
294
Finally, you got the hint!
295
We'll see about that.
296
The next day, I was surprised to see the whole school in a total mess.
297
The walls were all ruined with spray paint and half the lockers had been smashed.
298
The principal He checked the surveillance footage, and we were all shocked to see who the culprit was.
299
Axel?
300
It couldn't be.
301
I knew it.
302
He couldn't accept the fact that I'd beat him in a game yesterday, so he threw a little tantrum.
303
Suddenly, Morgan clung to Axel's arm.
304
You could have destroyed me instead, Axel babe.
305
And I would have thanked you for it.
306
Girl, have some dignity, and eat this to fill your empty brain.
307
Axel turned to me and said, "You know I couldn't do this, Olivia." Of course!
308
Only idiots would believe that footage.
309
Unfortunately, the principal was one of them.
310
He immediately suspended Axel, and seeing Liam grinning made my blood boil.
311
Obviously, he had framed Axel, but I had to find some proof first.
312
Later that night, I sneaked through Liam's window and hid inside his closet.
313
Soon, he entered his room with a guy who was wearing the same outfit and hairstyle as Axel, and they were talking about how they had set him up this morning.
314
I knew it!
315
Just then, I bumped into something and made a loud sound.
316
And the next second, the closet door flew open and Liam turned into a psycho.
317
You little witch.
318
Give me your phone or else.
319
He was about to hurt me when his parents suddenly barged in.
320
I showed them the video and told them about Liam's behavior.
321
And they were very disappointed.
322
You're gonna regret this, Olivia.
323
You'll see.
324
To teach him a lesson, his parents cut off his allowance and put him on a plane back to Germany.
325
But he just wasn't the same guy anymore.
326
And now I could finally focus on Axel.
327
I headed to their club, but he wasn't there.
328
I didn't find him at his mansion either.
329
I tried calling him on his phone, but there wasn't any signal.
330
Where was he?
331
What if Liam did something to him before leaving?
332
Feeling so worried.
333
I suddenly had a hard time breathing, but I couldn't find my inhaler anywhere.
334
Looking for this?
335
I turned to see Axel and he was holding my inhaler.
336
I ran to him with happy tears.
337
I thought something bad had happened to you.
338
I'm sorry if I got you worried.
339
I just got busy doing something.
340
He brought me up to his room and I was shocked
341
when he unveiled a huge painting -like Rubik's Cube with my face on it.
342
Axel, this is just amazing. for you.
343
And well, I did.
344
"So what are you waiting for?" He responded by finally kissing me.
345
And it felt surreal.
346
"I love you." "I love you too." Suddenly, Tori stepped into the room and started jumping like a monkey.
347
"I knew it !" Wait, had she been following me?
348
Axel and I just chuckled at her craziness.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
