1
Hi, I'm Grace, and I'm a liar.
2
But before that, please like and subscribe.
3
When I was little, my mom worked for this rich woman who was the third cousin of the daughter of the king of bleep.
4
Oops, I forgot.
5
Mom and I signed an NDA, so I really can't say which country or what king.
6
Anyway, the rich woman had a fabulous life.
7
She and her daughter Gigi, who was my age, lived in a beautiful mansion.
8
They went to the spa every week and on vacation every weekend.
9
But the only thing was that the paparazzi never left them alone.
10
They camped in front of the house and hid in the trees to get a glimpse of Gigi and her mom.
11
Gigi and I looked alike, so I'd often pose as her decoy.
12
I'd walk out the front door in her fancy clothes and smile for the paparazzi, while Gigi snuck out the back into a tinted SUV and sped off.
13
Life was great until Gigi and her mom moved back to Bleep and mom lost her job.
14
We moved into a tiny house and mom had to work two jobs just to afford the rent.
15
I hated being poor.
16
It made me sick to my stomach.
17
So I decided I had to be rich one day.
18
I worked harder than ever in school so I could get a good job and make a ton of money.
19
Then one day, I was called into the principal's office, and she gave me the best news ever.
20
Congratulations, Grace.
21
You've been awarded a scholarship to one of the most prestigious private schools in the city.
22
I was over the moon, but there was one big problem.
23
My new school was filled with rich kids.
24
There was no way I was going to fit in.
25
That night, I had nightmares about them laughing at me and chasing me through the halls.
26
The next morning, I woke up and prayed that I could win a million dollars.
27
And then, the craziest thing happened.
28
I talked with your Aunt Maddie.
29
She lives near your new school.
30
You'll be staying with her so I can save some money.
31
I jumped for joy.
32
I just hit the jackpot.
33
Aunt Maddie was a filthy rich lawyer.
34
She was so generous that she'd recently adopted a daughter my age.
35
That evening, Aunt Maddie's chauffeur picked me up in a limousine and drove me to her mansion.
36
My adopted cousin, Victoria, greeted me at the door.
37
She looked like a supermodel, aside from these huge glasses that were way too big for her face.
38
Victoria took me to my room, and as I was unpacking, she kept staring at my clothes.
39
Whoa, what happened?
40
I've seen homeless people wear better clothes.
41
I was so embarrassed, I started crying like an idiot.
42
They're all I have.
43
I'm poor.
44
Oh, don't worry about it, Grace.
45
I've got your back.
46
You can borrow some of my clothes.
47
I've got plenty.
48
Victoria led me to her room, where she opened a walk -in closet twice the size of my mom's house, filled with dozens of Gucci and Versace dresses, shoes, and handbags.
49
I was in heaven!
50
When we got to school, I strutted like a superstar down the hallway, and all the kids couldn't stop staring at me.
51
In class, the teacher asked us all to introduce ourselves and share something interesting about our families.
52
All the other kids came from wealthy families that owned huge business empires.
53
Some even had parents who were famous celebrities.
54
When the teacher asked me to introduce myself, I walked to the front of the class.
55
I felt really nervous.
56
I couldn't tell them about my poor single mom who worked as a janitor at a beauty salon
57
and waited tables at a two -star restaurant.
58
Then suddenly, something strange came over me and the most unexpected words just fell out of my mouth.
59
Hi, everyone.
60
I'm Grace and I'm an heiress to the throne of bleep.
61
Due to the privacy of the royal family, we cannot - Jeez, can we skip the legal mumbo jumbo and get back to the story?
62
Now, where was I?
63
Oh yeah, everyone in class stared at me like I was a unicorn.
64
I took out my phone and flashed one of my photos from a magazine, and the kids went wild.
65
Victoria appeared out of nowhere and pulled me to the side.
66
Have you lost your mind?
67
You just told everyone a big fat lie.
68
My mind is right where it's supposed to be, if you must know.
69
Plus, it's not really a lie.
70
You were Gigi's stand -in.
71
My mom told me all about it.
72
You're stealing her identity.
73
I'm just borrowing it.
74
She won't even notice.
75
Victoria walked away, then a bunch of popular kids ran over to me.
76
My plan was working like a charm.
77
Are you really in line for the throne?
78
Uh, yep.
79
It's a very real possibility.
80
Everyone in line before me is old and sick.
81
I thought you moved back to Europe.
82
That's fake news.
83
But aren't you living with Victoria?
84
Yes.
85
My mother wants me to have a more grounded experience among commoners.
86
But it's just temporary.
87
Ta -ta.
88
Sorry, no more questions today.
89
Maybe we can have crumpets and tea later.
90
Then Damien, the most beautiful boy I'd ever seen, patted me on my shoulder and my heart skipped a beat.
91
His sparkly brown eyes and warm smile made my heart flutter.
92
Your Highness, would you do me the honor of coming to my party tonight?
93
He took my hand and kissed it.
94
Yes, please.
95
That night, I raided Victoria's closet and found the perfect dress.
96
I pranced around in the mirror, flashed my prettiest smile, and practiced kissing my hand.
97
What's up with you?
98
I told Victoria all about how Damien invited me to his party, and she looked pissed.
99
Don't you mention that jerk to me.
100
He's not a jerk.
101
He's really cool.
102
And he looks like an angel.
103
Listen, you'll live to regret it if you choose to hang out with that idiot.
104
Are you sure we're talking about the same guy?
105
Damien's at the top of our class.
106
He smells like fresh strawberries.
107
He's super cute and the captain of the football team.
108
He's perfect.
109
Never mind.
110
I'm out of here.
111
Victoria stormed off in a huff, but I didn't have time to figure out we'll put a bee in her bonnet.
112
I had to get to Damien's party.
113
Of course, Damien's party was awesome.
114
We danced together for hours, and at the end of the night, he gave me the most romantic kiss.
115
You're amazing, Grace.
116
I know.
117
People tell me that all the time.
118
I've never met a girl like you before.
119
Which made sense, because everything I told him was a lie.
120
I must admit, I felt a little guilty for lying, but I wasn't hurting anyone.
121
After that, Damien and I started dating, and we became the hottest couple in school.
122
My popularity was through the roof.
123
Even Victoria stopped shaking her head at me every time we passed each other in the hallway.
124
Life was great, until things took a horrible turn.
125
One day, one of the rich kids invited me to an exclusive restaurant.
126
I was busy enjoying my caviar when I looked out the window
127
and saw Victoria and Damien having a heated argument across the street.
128
I was about to go out to snoop on them, but our waiter Brian, this geeky kid from my math class, stepped into my path.
129
Excuse me, you forgot to pay for your food.
130
He gave me a bill of over $200.
131
I had less than $20 in my bank account.
132
I was invited to this party.
133
And we've been told everyone is paying their bill separately.
134
A couple of popular kids started staring at us, So without thinking, I handed Brian my bank card.
135
I'm sorry, but your card has been declined.
136
That's impossible.
137
I'm heir to a million dollar fortune.
138
We also accept cash.
139
This is no way to treat royalty.
140
I want to speak with your manager now.
141
I dragged Brian to the side.
142
I was so afraid he was going to call the cops on me that I decided to tell him the truth.
143
Listen, there's no way I can pay all that money.
144
Maybe we can work something out.
145
You rich kids always try to take advantage of people.
146
Please pay so I can do my job.
147
Aren't you from some royal family anyway?
148
I'm seriously not a rich kid.
149
That was all a big lie.
150
I just wanted to fit in.
151
Suddenly, tears started streaming down my face.
152
Oh, jeez, please don't cry.
153
Listen, I know what it's like to want to fit in with the rich kids.
154
I'll put it on my tab, but you have to pay me back this month.
155
I was so relieved.
156
It felt like a huge weight had been lifted.
157
It was good to tell the truth, but then it hit me.
158
If Brian exposed me, my fabulous life would be destroyed.
159
Could you please keep my secret?
160
Sure, but only if you agree to tutor me.
161
I'm kind of struggling with calculus, and I saw you got 100 on the test.
162
I happily agreed.
163
By the time I was done with this drama, Victoria and Damien were gone, and neither of them answered their phones.
164
I called my driver to take me home.
165
I waited in my room for hours, but didn't hear a word from either of them.
166
I was confused, worried, and a little jealous.
167
What on earth could they have been arguing about?
168
A few minutes after midnight, I woke up to hear a car pulling into the driveway.
169
I looked out the window.
170
It was Damien, and Victoria was in the passenger seat.
171
I saw red.
172
I raced down the stairs and ran straight into Victoria.
173
Why are you sneaking around with Damien?
174
We aren't sneaking around.
175
I saw you two arguing at the party.
176
It's complicated, and I'm really tired.
177
Can we talk about it later?
178
It's not complicated at all.
179
You're a jealous witch and a boyfriend -stealer, and don't try to deny it.
180
You hate that I'm more popular than you and that Damien's in love with me.
181
Victoria marched to her room and slammed her door in my face.
182
Something fishy was going on between those two, and I was gonna find out what.
183
The next day, I asked Damien about Victoria.
184
Don't worry about it, babe.
185
She's my partner for a school project.
186
We were only talking about that.
187
You know I only have eyes for you.
188
After that, Damien got really busy with football practice, so I focused on school and tutoring Brian.
189
To my surprise, I enjoyed hanging out with Brian.
190
He was smart and funny, and we were both huge fans of classical music.
191
One night, he played one of Mozart's concertos on the piano for me.
192
That was beautiful.
193
I didn't know you were so talented.
194
I'm kind of a music prodigy.
195
That's how I got a scholarship to our school.
196
A couple of weeks later, Brian aced his calculus test and invited me to his piano recital.
197
I'll be playing that piece you like and a new song I wrote for you.
198
You wrote a song for me?
199
Brian blushed, and so did I.
200
It's a thank you for all you've done for me.
201
I wouldn't miss your concert for the world.
202
That night, just as I was getting ready to go to the concert with Brian, Damien showed up in a tuxedo.
203
What are you doing here?
204
You're funny.
205
I told you I was picking you up.
206
Oh, God.
207
I'd totally forgotten that Damien had invited me to be his date for his family's annual charity ball.
208
Come on.
209
We don't want to be late.
210
Damien took my hand and rushed me to his car.
211
When we arrived at the ball, Damien's parents were excited to meet me.
212
They spent the whole night introducing me to all their fancy friends
213
and bragged about how their son had landed the heiress to a throne.
214
I needed a breath of fresh air, so I went out into the back alley for a bit to find Damien and the school's head cheerleader kissing.
215
When they saw me, they.. turned as white as bedsheets.
216
It's not what it looks like.
217
Actually, it is.
218
Damien and I are in love.
219
I was going to tell you after the party.
220
I just wanted to impress my parents by saying you were my girlfriend.
221
You're their favorite royal and they've been dying to meet you.
222
I slapped Damien hard in the face and stormed out of there.
223
The next day, Brian marched up to me at school with a huge scowl.
224
I waited for you for over an hour and you didn't even call.
225
I'm sorry.
226
I had another engagement.
227
Like what? your fake royal duties
228
if you didn't want to go you should have just told
229
me you didn't have to play with my feelings i may not be one of the popular kids
230
but i don't deserve to be treated like trash brian stormed off i was gutted and just
231
when i thought the day couldn't get any worse i got
232
an alert on my phone a gossip website had done a news report on me
233
and outed me as a fraud all the kids crowded around me like an angry mob i ran outside
234
and straight into a bunch of crazy paparazzi.
235
They chased me through the parking lot.
236
I darted down the street and jumped into a cab.
237
Get me out of here, please.
238
The driver hightailed it out of there.
239
When I got home, I raced up the stairs and locked myself in my room.
240
Then suddenly, someone unlocked my bedroom door and turned the knob.
241
Terrified, I hid under the bed.
242
My lies had finally caught up with me.
243
The police would haul me off to jail.
244
My mom would be so embarrassed, she disowned me.
245
The whole thing.
246
I'd even go on my permanent record.
247
I closed my eyes and graced myself for the worst.
248
Please have mercy.
249
I'm just a kid.
250
I made a mistake.
251
I'm sorry.
252
Don't be so dramatic.
253
It's just me.
254
I told you all this would blow up in your face, the lying, and most of all, Damien.
255
Was he dating you too?
256
No, gross.
257
Damien and I lived in the same foster home years ago.
258
That night at the restaurant, I got a text about her foster mother.
259
She'd gotten into a bad accident and had to have a major surgery.
260
She'd just woken up and was begging to see me and Damien.
261
That's it.
262
Damien hates that he was poor and he won't tell anyone he's adopted.
263
Or that he and I know each other from a foster home.
264
And he's always trying so hard to impress his snooty parents.
265
You're not that different.
266
He just wants so bad to fit in.
267
That information hit me like a ton of bricks.
268
At that moment, I decided to make a change.
269
I apologized to Victoria and sent Brian a dozen I'm sorry memes.
270
And I came clean to everyone at school.
271
After my truth was revealed, I wasn't popular anymore, of course.
272
I was even mocked and branded as a liar.
273
But I had Victoria, and I eventually made friends with some nice kids.
274
And it took a while, but Ryan and I started talking again after I offered to tutor him for free for a year.
275
In the end, I realized
276
that being a popular fake royal didn't hold a candle to being surrounded by friends that loved me for me.
277
Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
