1
Please note that I changed all the names to protect myself from my bestie and to protect my bestie from herself.
2
Hi, I'm Maria and I have the most jealous bestie ever, Gigi Salt.
3
But she's dumb and I love her.
4
Back in kindergarten, she showed her painting to the teacher and the teacher clapped for her.
5
Gigi came running to me.
6
See, she clapped for me because I know how to drop better than you.
7
But then the teacher saw mine and gasped.
8
in my 15 years of teaching.
9
She showed it to everyone and made them clap for me.
10
Gigi went pale and actually yelled at the teacher.
11
It's not that special.
12
What?
13
Are you kidding me?
14
And then she ran off to show other teachers and even the principal my drawing.
15
They patted my head and one of them gave me five dollars.
16
On the way home, I bought Gigi a vanilla ice cream.
17
Her favorite because she was so annoyed.
18
I was trying to make her feel better.
19
Thanks.
20
Your drawing was just a tree and a house.
21
Why did they lose their mind over it?
22
Oh, yours was pretty too.
23
Don't lie.
24
And now you're just rubbing it in my face.
25
Take your ice cream.
26
I don't feel like it anymore.
27
And with that, she left.
28
What's gotten into her?
29
Things went like that for years.
30
I always had straight A's, and Gigi was always slightly behind me.
31
She always found excuses for why that happened.
32
You had two extra hours of studying because you get home two minutes before me.
33
and it helps you concentrate better.
34
Once in eighth grade, our art teacher, Ms. Hand, announced an art competition with a $500 prize.
35
Gigi had basically given up on drawing after that kindergarten incident, but the second she heard about the money, she started practicing day and night.
36
Even though I was poorer than her and needed it more, but hey, maybe she really, really needed it.
37
Maybe she was planning to buy me a gift or something.
38
Since she forgot my birthday three years in a row, you see, My parents are old, and my oldest brother Sam, who is 10 years older than me, basically raised me.
39
He's all so dumb, but I love him.
40
He could never keep a job, even though we desperately needed the money.
41
But he was the happiest when he got offered a job as a private driver for some important business thing.
42
the door and bow instead of getting in.
43
Like he was training himself on how to bow when he opened the door for the businessman.
44
What's wrong with you?
45
Are you stupid?
46
Stupid?
47
I'm becoming a very important man soon.
48
You're stupid, stupid.
49
The driver lost it, got out, and chased Sam.
50
When he got up to him, he beat him up.
51
I ran over when I heard Sam screaming and begging the driver to leave him alone.
52
And he finally did.
53
Sam didn't care.
54
- Tomorrow, I'm becoming an important man.
55
What's that?
56
- It's my drawing.
57
I'm entering a competition to win $500.
58
Do you think I'd win with this painting?
59
- Okay.
60
I think I might have to work extra shifts since we're losing $500 soon.
61
- Hey, we can't lose if we didn't win it in the first place.
62
- Same thing, but you're too young to understand.
63
- That's his answer to everything.
64
Anyway, a week passed and Miss Hand barged in
65
running like crazy
66
Maria you won and they want to meet you they're calling you the next Picasso come on They're on the phone,
67
and they want you right now just then Gigi stood up looking super annoyed no way
68
And who's waiting on the phone and for what it's just a painting?
69
It's not like she saved humanity from poverty or something and what's your problem?
70
Exactly?
71
Jealous human being.
72
Miss Hand, she's not jealous.
73
She never was.
74
I think it's her diarrhea that's bugging her.
75
She's gone like 15 times and it's still the afternoon.
76
I was being completely serious and sincere.
77
Everyone burst out laughing, even the teachers.
78
Gigi turned red like a tomato.
79
Miss Hand wiped her laughing tears and said, oh Maria honey, you're such an angel.
80
Always seeing the good in people.
81
Now come on, let's go.
82
They're waiting to talk to you.
83
The prize people offered me a free summer painting camp.
84
I loved the idea, but I hesitated, especially since my parents needed help when Sam was busy.
85
So, with the $500, I brought my parents some new, comfortable bedding.
86
And I bought Sam a new suit so he could look fancy for the important businessman.
87
And for me?
88
Um, I only have $67 left.
89
A dress.
90
Red, Shein, party, those don't go with you.
91
Like, at all.
92
Your color is black, mine is red.
93
And you know that!
94
It makes my amber eyes pop!
95
Aren't your eyes brown?
96
My eyes are amber!
97
Especially in the sun on a cloudy day!
98
Just say you don't want to buy me the dress, Maria.
99
Of course I will!
100
You're my only friend!
101
Aww, I owe you big time, bestie!
102
But of course, don't tell Mom.
103
Her parents were strict and difficult.
104
They lived a few houses away, and her mom was always scolding her for being dumb.
105
And whenever her mom found out I bought Gigi something or gave her anything, she'd ground her and call her names like Jealous Manipulative Witch.
106
Then Gigi would come to me and cry herself to sleep.
107
Poor thing.
108
But her mom was also good to us, and she would even help take care of my parents.
109
And her husband, Gigi's dad, was the one who got Sam as a driver.
110
Sam was surprisingly doing really well at his new job, and he even started thinking he was the important man himself.
111
Everyone respects me now, and from now on, you guys too.
112
Mom, Dad, you can call me Sir, like "Hey Sir Son Sam, come over !" or "Sir Son Sam, give me a pill !" and so on.
113
decent money and Gigi's mom was helping out with my parents, I figured maybe I could go to the painting summer camp.
114
Especially since they might have money prizes or something.
115
Painting was my escape anyway.
116
No way in hell that's happening, Maria.
117
How could you leave me alone?
118
Nuh -uh.
119
No way.
120
Not happening.
121
Why in Christ not?
122
Mom?
123
You're here?
124
When did you come?
125
It's not like it's your business but I'm here to give Maria a ride to the bus station, so she can go to the painting game.
126
Maria, honey?
127
Let's go!
128
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Gigi started crying and kicking and flailing and I felt sorry for her.
129
For a second, I even thought about canceling the whole camp.
130
But Gigi's mom told me to ignore her and leave fast.
131
I got in the car while Gigi ran after me, still crying like her pet died.
132
Don't leave me, Maria!
133
I love you!
134
I started crying too, like full -on sniffling.
135
I love you too, Gigi.
136
Gigi's mom sighed and called us both dramatic and dumb.
137
But honestly, I got over it pretty fast.
138
I'm not kidding guys.
139
When I tell you, the painting camp was the best thing that ever happened to me.
140
In the first few days, everyone was just amazed by my paintings.
141
Some people even thought it was AI.
142
That's how amazing it was.
143
The only problem was Gigi.
144
She kept calling the camp to talk to me since I didn't have a phone.
145
I used to have one, but it stopped working and I figured I'd fix it later when our finances got better.
146
Even the counselor got annoyed with her calls.
147
She even told me Gigi was just jealous and trying to distract me, but I didn't believe that.
148
Until one day, the counselor called the local press to come see my paintings and interview me.
149
I told Gigi about it and when they were coming.
150
What?
151
A whole press for your painting?
152
That doesn't make any sense.
153
Like, they don't have anything better to do?
154
Like talking about COVID -19 or something?
155
crazy over my paintings.
156
A guy even asked me out because he said he liked my imagination.
157
Although, if you think about it, I don't imagine that much.
158
I just want a happy, stable life with my family and you, Gigi.
159
Oh, they're calling me.
160
I gotta go.
161
Bye.
162
Love ya.
163
So on the day the press came, Gigi called like 17 times.
164
The counselor tried to ignore her as much as she could, but Gigi wouldn't stop.
165
She kept saying it was an emergency.
166
So the counselor finally told me that she was a little bit told me like two seconds before the interview.
167
- You have to come now.
168
We took your mom to the hospital.
169
We tried Sam, but he's out of state right now.
170
- I was too stunned to speak.
171
And the counselor heard what Gigi had said and snatched the phone from me.
172
- You're lying.
173
- Just so you can make Maria leave.
174
- I swear on my grandma's grave.
175
Here, talk to my mom.
176
She can confirm.
177
- And her mom did confirm.
178
I started crying right there.
179
And the counselor helped me pack fast.
180
She even drove me to the hospital herself.
181
She came running to me, hugging me and kissing my cheeks and forehead like crazy.
182
I got her saliva all over my face.
183
Ugh.
184
God, stop it, idiot.
185
Is mom okay?
186
Yes, honey.
187
She's alright.
188
She just hurt her foot getting out of bed.
189
No biggie.
190
Oh, thank God.
191
But then, why did you guys make me leave the camp and miss the interview?
192
everything and come, "Gigi, I'm gonna kill you !" "But Mom,
193
I missed her so much !" And she ran off while her mom chased after her.
194
I didn't go back to finish the camp.
195
I just lost interest, especially after I saw Mom and Dad.
196
They looked kind of tired, and I figured I'd stay with them for the rest of summer vacation.
197
But things with Sam started taking a wild turn.
198
He began believing he was even more important than the other than the important businessman himself.
199
He stopped opening the door for him, and whenever the man called him by his first name, Sam wouldn't answer.
200
He wanted him to call him Mr. Springer, which was insane if you ask me.
201
So, after two months of working, which was the longest he'd ever kept a job, the businessman fired him.
202
He came home crying and confused.
203
- How could he?
204
I mean, he's only rich because his father was rich.
205
into this family, he would have turned out a poor dumb junkie!
206
Life isn't fair at all!
207
Well, you'll never know.
208
If you plan your whole life on "what ifs," you're just gonna keep living in, you know, unrealistic possibilities and illusions.
209
And trust me, it's nice to have an imagination.
210
And they told me I have one, but I wouldn't just imagine and poof, I'm suddenly a famous rich painter.
211
So sometimes being humble is best.
212
Especially when...
213
You know...
214
What are you even talking about?
215
What she's trying to say is that you're stupid.
216
Yes, that-- no, wait, GG!
217
Sam just sighed and threw himself on the couch.
218
He didn't do anything for days.
219
He just laid there barking orders at me.
220
Give me the remote.
221
Scratch my toes.
222
Cook me some hash browns.
223
We're out.
224
I couldn't take it anymore.
225
So I searched his pockets, found the businessman's card, and called him.
226
I begged.
227
I cried.
228
And eventually, the businessman felt so bad for me and agreed to hire Sam again.
229
Sam was ecstatic.
230
He jumped so high his head almost hit the ceiling fan.
231
With Sam back to work and summer vacation ending, I was so excited to start high school.
232
On our first day of ninth grade, everything was new and kind of intimidating.
233
But Gigi was acting like some big celebrity,
234
winking at guys and batting her eyelashes at My beauty is so unique.
235
- Just then, someone bumped into us.
236
We turned around, and Gigi was ready to give him a piece of her mind, but she stopped immediately When we saw the hottest guy alive.
237
And I mean it, guys.
238
So hot butter could melt right in his hand.
239
I'm so sorry.
240
I'm new to America.
241
My name is Matias, and I'm from Peru.
242
Gigi gulped like she was trying to pull herself together, but her mouth opened before her brain could stop it.
243
Peru!
244
Hmm, Peru.
245
Ruuuuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuruuru through the air like a cat.
246
Matias looked so confused and it got really awkward.
247
I couldn't just leave my friend embarrassed like that.
248
What kind of friend would I be?
249
So I joined her and swiped my palm too.
250
Brrrrr.
251
Nice to meet you, Peru.
252
No, no. My name is Matias.
253
I'm from Peru.
254
Do you understand?
255
Of course we do, hun.
256
Mateo, Peru, Taco, Messi.
257
Whatever.
258
Want to go out with me?
259
Matthias stared at us with wide eyes, like he couldn't believe we were real.
260
And then he just walked away, super stiff, like a robot.
261
Ugh, Maria!
262
You ruined it with your cheap palm move!
263
Now he thinks I'm like you, dumb and nuts!
264
Ugh!
265
I'm sorry, okay?
266
And what am I supposed to do with your sorry?
267
Get a new boy with it?
268
Ugh, let's just go to class.
269
and kept asking the teacher to swap our seats, but the teacher told her to shut up and sit quietly.
270
Gigi kept giving me death glares, and I honestly didn't know what to do.
271
And Matthias wasn't even talking to me, probably thinking I was some weirdo.
272
Until English class, when we had to write an essay about our summer vacation, and Matthias was struggling hard.
273
He wrote one sentence, then just stared into space.
274
I'm not writing.
275
I'm disgusting.
276
Life is wired.
277
I love Summer because mom is Summer.
278
I looked at him confused, while he looked so embarrassed.
279
And for the first time in my life, I felt really smart, because what the heck was that?
280
But I nodded like I totally understood and reassured him.
281
It's alright, you're on the right track.
282
Let's work on it together.
283
Really?
284
Oh my god.
285
I thought you would laugh.
286
Thank you for helping me.
287
riding together, ends laughing, and at one point, our hands even touched.
288
We stopped laughing and just stared into each other's eyes.
289
Matthias looked at me and gave me the warmest smile ever.
290
I almost passed out.
291
Aww, want me to get you a carriage and a horse so you can ride off and live happily ever after?
292
Gigi had left her seat and sprinted over, and we both got startled.
293
Matthias looked at me, then at her, trying to understand why she was like that.
294
Then the teacher saw her and yelled, "Gigi, I have never said someone's name this many times in one class.
295
If this is how you're starting high school, then it's detention for a week.
296
How's that sound?" Gigi looked furious and started stomping her feet.
297
Two weeks.
298
Gigi then started making these whiny noises.
299
Three weeks.
300
Keep going.
301
T .S giggled silently with his shoulders bouncing up and down, and I couldn't help laughing at his laugh.
302
And Gigi looked like she was about to explode.
303
I waited for Gigi to finish her detention so we could walk home together.
304
The whole way, she kept scolding me and calling me names like Bimbo and Witch.
305
Then she spun around dramatically.
306
See that on my back?
307
It's just your backpack, idiot.
308
She snorted and dropped her bag on the ground, then asked me again.
309
I said there was literally nothing on her bag.
310
Yes, there is.
311
It's a knife.
312
An invisible knife.
313
You stabbed me in the back by dating Matias, the only guy I ever liked.
314
She always said that about any guy.
315
So I didn't believe her this time.
316
We're not dating, you moron.
317
We were literally just working on an essay together.
318
Then prove it.
319
Tomorrow you ask that owl -looking teacher to change your seat, or you can forget you ever had a friend named Gigi.
320
You got that?
321
I didn't want to keep arguing with Gigi.
322
So for my peace of mind, the next day I changed my seat and stopped talking to Matthias altogether.
323
so freaking hard, especially since he was always looking at me with those pleading adorable eyes.
324
"So what did I do?" you ask?
325
I kept drawing him and replaying the moment our hands touched.
326
It was magical.
327
But a week later, I caught Gigi following Matthias around, and he was hiding from her like a scared toddler.
328
Then she threw a bunch of papers in his face.
329
"I drew you !" Look at all these paintings and how obsessed I am with you!
330
Doesn't that mean anything to you, you monster with a heart of stone?
331
Hey!
332
Those were MY paintings!
333
Since when did she have them?
334
I thought to myself, Matthias came out of his hiding spot, which was behind the water cooler, by the way, after she left.
335
He held my paintings and kind of yelled, but whispered...
336
No way you drew this.
337
I know it's Maria.
338
She has the heart for it.
339
And after that day, Gigi wouldn't leave him alone.
340
She kept looking for him and following him everywhere.
341
Latias eventually reported her to the principal for stalking her.
342
And they gave her a warning.
343
If it happened again, they might even suspend her.
344
When her mom found out, she grounded her and even took her phone away.
345
to come to our house because her mom wanted her to help with my parents.
346
She helped sometimes, and sometimes she just sat there cursing Matthias.
347
The only explanation is that he's blind or unstable.
348
That's two explanations, sweetie.
349
Shut it, Sam.
350
Don't you have some driving job to do?
351
Oh, I got promoted.
352
I'm the businessman's assistant now.
353
Second in command, you could say.
354
Yep.
355
Sam took the saying, "Fake it till you make it" to another level.
356
People would literally him with the businessman because of how confidently he acted.
357
He even answered the man's phone sometimes when he wasn't around.
358
It's easy.
359
I just used some big words I heard him say
360
and I closed one of the biggest deals for double what my boss wanted.
361
That day I was wearing the suit you got me, Maria.
362
It's my lucky suit.
363
Makes me look more important than usual.
364
Love you, sis.
365
Yeah, he actually made it.
366
And life got a bit easier after that since he was making better money.
367
But things took a wild turn
368
when I got a phone call from someone who said they represented the International Emerging Artists Award
369
and that I had won $300 ,000.
370
What?
371
But I never submitted any work.
372
Oh, maybe Gigi did.
373
Wow, what an amazing friend.
374
So when she came to visit us that night,
375
I asked her, $300 ,000 freaking dollars? By strand.
376
Just then, someone knocked on our door, and Gigi ran to open it.
377
And there she found a bunch of reporters with cameras and microphones and everything.
378
She immediately started fixing her hair and eyebrows for the camera.
379
But then one reporter pushed her aside.
380
We don't want you.
381
Move aside.
382
We want Maria, our amazing, talented painter.
383
Our pride and joy.
384
Then they basically pulled me out and started firing questions at me about my success and talent.
385
I don't know who submitted my work or how I won this much money.
386
But then someone showed up from behind the crowd and said in that warm, smooth voice.
387
I did, Maria.
388
I sent that drawing of us touching hands because it was the best thing you ever made.
389
It felt real.
390
And I think you're the most amazing, beautiful girl ever with the kindest, purest heart in the world.
391
Would you give me the honor of being my girlfriend?
392
I opened my mouth to answer, but Gigi beat me to it.
393
Stealing someone else's work and sending it left and right is illegal, by the way.
394
That's defamation.
395
Everyone looked at her like she had horns.
396
Then they started slowly looking at each other.
397
I don't think that's defamation, young lady.
398
Are you alright?
399
She seems crazy to me.
400
Ignore her, everyone.
401
Now, please, Maria, answer the young gentleman.
402
up the whole place and I'm not even exaggerating guys.
403
Then he stepped forward to hug me.
404
But Gigi came running and shoved herself between us like she was my bodyguard.
405
Hugging him already?
406
Don't you have self -respect?
407
You throw yourself at any boy who asks you out?
408
What do we even know about him?
409
Oh, I think I know this gentleman.
410
You're Matias Pacheco, right?
411
Your dad is the wealthiest man in Peru.
412
And now I think 15th in the U .S.?
413
13th and soon to be 10th.
414
Gigi's jaw dropped.
415
She started snorting like a jealous little pig and swaying back and forth.
416
Hold me back, Maria.
417
I think I'm passing out.
418
her butt and started crying like a baby.

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.
