I don't know, Sage.
5
Don't know what?
6
Look, I know you really want me to come, but I just don't think it's gonna work out.
7
Is this about Regina and the other girls?
8
Look, this pool party is going to be a great way to get all of us together.
9
Once you get to know them, and they know you...
10
I think I know them well enough.
11
Regina says rude stuff on my Instagram all the time.
12
Yeah, yeah, she's just joking around.

Once you really get to know her, you'll love her.

I don't want to get my hair wet.
26
I like taking pictures with the water in the background.
27
Hey, look who it is.
28
What's she wearing?
29
Why are you wearing that?
30
Aren't you going to swim with us?
31
I wasn't going to stay long.
32
Fine, but you're not off to a very good start.
33
Hey, Regina.
34
Looks like someone didn't get the memo.
35
We're going to be swimming, you know.
36
I told her.
37
It's alright.
38
We didn't want to see you in a bathing suit anyway.
39
Mean!
40
We're just joking with you.

Weeping Willow.

Hey Willow, how you doing?
48
I haven't seen you in a while.
49
I'm doing alright.
50
Tell your mom I said hi.
51
You'll love my mom's cupcakes.
52
Yeah, but my waist won't.
53
I can't be eating cupcakes.
54
I've got Instagram photos to post.
55
Yeah, my Instagram was blowing up last time I was at the pool.
56
The water was cold, but my Insta was steaming.
57
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
58
If I shouldn't be eating cupcakes, you really shouldn't, because you're already packing on the pounds.
59
I can't believe you just said that.
60
What?
61
I'm just saying what everyone's thinking.
62
Look, now she's gonna cry.
63
I'm gonna cry.
64
Wait, wait.
65
Here, take one.
66
Come on.
67
Take one.
68
You didn't!
69
Oh my gosh.
70
Willow, wait.
71
Willow, stop.
72
Where are you going?
73
This is why I didn't want to come over, Sage.
74
Do you get it now?
75
You didn't even try to be friends with them.
76
You came here just planning to leave.
77
Did you even see what they did to me?
78
Okay, that didn't go the way I wanted it to, but maybe we could try again?
79
You're joking, right?
80
Why do you want to be friends with them anyways?
81
Hey, Snitch.
82
Looks like your pool party was a big hit on Instagram.
83
I know, right?
84
People are saying the funniest things.
85
Did you see that one post that Ned did with Willow on the one side
86
and that demented girl from the ring on the other?

91
Apologize?
92

93

94
I know that everyone's seen the video of me pushing Willow in the pool by now, and I've been meaning to apologize for a while now, but I haven't had the chance until now.

107
I mean, she's not the most popular girl at school.
108
I'm really glad you included her the other day.
109
I know you've met a lot of new friends, but it was really nice of you to think of Willow, too.
110
What did Willow's mom say she's been acting like?
111
I don't think I should get into the conversation.

It's just a silly song from a cartoon.
141
Like, what's there to get so upset about?
142

159
Please excuse the interruption.
160
Brittany, Regina, Sage, please report to the office.
161
Wonder what this is all about.
162
So, you're probably wondering why I called you down.
163
I had a talk with Willow today, and what little I could get out of her had something to do with you three. So, what's going on?
164
I don't know, Mrs. Rowan.
165
I mean, we invited her to hang out with us the other day.
166
Yeah, we were just trying to be nice because she doesn't really have that many friends.
167
You ever try to be friends with someone and you just like don't click?
168
Like you're two completely different people?
169
Exactly.
170
That's what it's like with Willow.
171
She's like really weird and depressing.
172
She brings it on herself, really.
173
I think she's just mad because she can't be one of us.
174
That's not it.
175
She doesn't want to be one of you.
176
She's just a kid trying to get through high school like the rest of us, but she won't leave her alone.
177
What do you mean by that?
178
I don't know.
179
I guess I don't know what else to call it besides...
180
bullying.
181
Bullying?
182
That's a strong word.
183
Well, what do you call it when you throw somebody in a pool with all their clothes on?
184
Or compare them to a fat hippo?
185
Or live stream a mock apology of them on social media?
186
Never giving them a break for a week and a half straight?
187
Sage, what are you doing?
188
We were just joking around.
189
Tell her, Sage.
190
Why don't you tell me more about this?
191
Joking around.
192
Hey.
193
Your mom said you went for a walk.
194
Thought maybe I'd find you here.
195
We got called down to the office today.
196
And I told Mrs. Rowan everything that happened.
197
Britt and Regina are pretty mad at me, so...
198
I'm sorry about everything.
199
I should have stuck up for you sooner, but instead I just played along. Can you forgive me?
200
Remember when we were kids we would throw our sticks into the creek?
201
Things are simple, but...
202
Who says things can't be simple still?
203
I'll stand up and I'll fight for you No matter what they may put me through You won't stand alone
204
Side by side we'll do what's right Whatever it takes till we win the fight You won't stand alone
205
If your friend is being bullied and you're one of the bullies, be honest.

You know in your heart that your friend is being bullied and humiliated.
207
Have the courage to speak up.

Tell the group of bullies, quit picking on her and leave her alone.
209
Apologize to your friend and say, I'm sorry.
210
I should have stuck up for you sooner.
211
Will you forgive me?
212
I'll stand up and I'll fight for you No matter what they may put me through

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
