Hi, I'm Olivia.

I grew up in a small town where everyone knows everyone,

but I felt like the odd one out.

Things weren't any different at school.

In elementary school, I didn't feel confident enough to talk,

but Nick was the only one who ever spoke to me.

But he was always up to no good and known for his infamous tricks.

I thought he would stop in middle school,

but it only got worse.

Hey, Olivia!

I got you a cupcake!

That's really nice.

Yeah, I stole it from that loser over there.

Oh, no. You didn't want a cupcake?

Hang on, I'll go steal his whole lunch.

Come here, nerd!

I knew I should have stood up for that kid,

but like always, I ran away instead.

High school wasn't any better.

You know how students get awards for cutest couple,

best dress, and stuff at the end of the year?

At the end of my junior year, I finally got one!

The award for the shyest student goes to...

Olivia!

Goes Olivia!

I was the girl who was too shy to accept the award for being too shy.

I felt devastated.

That day, I decided it was finally time to grow a spine and learn to be confident.

Hey!

Hey, you!

Ahem, no. Oi, you there mate!

Australian?

Ugh, come on, Olivia.

I practiced for days, but nothing could have prepared me for what was about to happen.

We're off to Las Vegas for the week, honey.

You're going on a trip without me?

It's a short trip, Olivia.

Just call if you need anything.

Oh, but not after 5pm or before lunch.

Ciao!

Well, I guess a giant mansion isn't too bad to be alone all week.

I spent the first few hours writing a super boring essay for school,

but the silence was creeping me out.

So I decided to watch The Notebook in our home theater.

I was mid-sobbing over the love story when I heard the back door swing open.

It froze like a statue.

Do I do stop, drop, and roll?

No wait, that's for a fire.

I'll just call 911.

Shoot!

My phone's upstairs.

Time for plan B.

Cold!

Okay, plan C.

Crap!

Suddenly there was a crash upstairs.

It sounded like my laptop.

I would I'd rather fight to the death than write that essay all over again.

I tiptoed upstairs and saw someone in the kitchen,

but it was too dark to see their face.

With a burst of confidence,

I jumped on their back like a spider monkey,

but my victory didn't last long.

Hey!

They threw me to the floor and everything went black.

I woke up with a flashlight in my face and all my memories flooded back.

Intruder!

I panicked and kicked so hard,

sending them crashing to the floor.

Not intruder.

Ouch.

I know that voice.

I snatched the flashlight and shined it at him.

Bailey?

Oh no, that's not happening.

Bailey was my insanely hot neighbor and I speed him up.

We went to different schools But I could see straight into his room from my window.

Listen, I'm no stalker

But it seems the universe wanted me to know him I mean how else could I have seen him shirtless

or dancing in his room when he thought no one was watching right Bailey Are you okay?

He's so strong.

He was already standing up.

I'm okay But what about you the pain came rushing back and I almost fainted here lie down Thanks,

but what are you doing here?

I heard a crash so I came to check on you Did you catch the intruder?

Bailey held my hand and I felt my stomach full of butterflies.

You got away, but don't worry.

The police are on their way.

I told the officers everything that happened,

and Bailey's family said I could stay at their house until my parents got back.

Bailey was so sweet that he even brought me tea before bed.

Do you want to ride into town with me tomorrow?

Oh, I don't want to mess up your plans or anything.

Don't worry, most of my friends are at camp.

Meet me in the garage at 10.

We went off to bed,

but I spent the whole night imagining our wedding.

The next day, I went to meet him and saw the car was unlocked,

so I got in the passenger seat and waited.

100

No, we're not driving, we're biking!

101

Yeah, I was just warming up in a car before cycling.

102

It helps the wheels spin faster.

103

It's psychological bike Olivia dynamics.

104

Oh, I never heard this.

105

Yeah, it's a new evolution.

106

Wow, you're serious about biking.

107

I was way too embarrassed to admit that I didn't even know how to ride a bike.

108

But if little kids can do it,

109

how hard could it be?

110

Do you always wear your helmet backward?

111

Yeah, it's the latest style in Paris.

112

Huh, okay.

113

Well, follow me.

114

Easy, you can do this.

115

I stayed balanced for about two seconds before I toppled over into a pile of garden gnomes.

116

You made up all that stuff about the car and the helmet, didn't you?

117

Um, maybe.

118

I was humiliated, but Bailey was so nice.

119

He spent the rest of the day teaching me to ride.

120

My parents came back that night and I assumed I'd never see him again.

121

But to my surprise, he knocked on my door the next day,

122

and the next day, and the day after.

123

We were inseparable the whole summer,

124

And it made me sad to think about how everything was going to change when school started.

125

On the first day of school,

126

I was walking to my locker with my head down,

127

when I saw one of the popular girls drop her fancy earring.

128

How was I supposed to get her attention over all this noise?

129

As I picked it up, I realized something.

130

I'm the girl who tackled an intruder.

131

And I'm the girl who spent all summer with her super hot crush.

132

Hey, you dropped this!

133

My favorite earring!

134

Oh, you're a lifesaver!

135

After that, she waved to me every time she saw me.

136

I decided to challenge myself to say hi to new people.

137

To my surprise, people were nice back!

138

Even cute boys.

139

But one day, I was walking to the bathroom when I noticed the school bad boy,

140

Nick, and one of his friends graffitiing a wall.

141

Nick spun around to tell me off, but then he froze.

142

Graffiti is so uncool, but I was mesmerized by his piercing blue eyes.

143

He was so focused on me,

144

he didn't realize he was spray painting his friend's face.

145

I rushed down the hallway toward the bathroom,

146

but I could feel his eyes on me the whole time.

147

The old me would have ignored it,

148

but the new, confident me decided to confront him in the study hall.

149

You know you'll never get into college if you graffiti the school, right?

150

I'm going to be an artist.

151

You mean a criminal?

152

I'll post your first mugshot on Instagram.

153

I held up my phone to snap a picture,

154

but the teacher spotted me.

155

No phones in the study hall, Olivia!

156

It wasn't her fault, I asked her to take a picture of me.

157

Great, then you can join your girlfriend in detention too.

158

Detention?

159

Girlfriend?

160

I don't know which part was worse.

161

In detention, I tried to sneak past Nick so he wouldn't sit next to me,

162

but someone bumped into me and I spilled hot tea all over him.

163

He jumped up and ripped his shirt off.

164

Ow, hot!

165

I am so sorry!

166

It's okay.

167

I deserve it for getting you in trouble.

168

I was about to respond when I noticed his insane abs.

169

And right above them was a really cool tattoo of a dragon on his chest.

170

I hated myself for thinking he looked so hot.

171

I tried to look away,

172

but Nick was smirking at me.

173

I moved as far from him as I could,

174

but I couldn't stop thinking about him.

175

That night, Bailey and I met up for the first time in weeks because of our busy routine.

176

I wish we went to the same school.

177

That would be nice, but it might be kind of awkward since I'm,

178

you know, homecoming king and stuff and you're like, the quiet girl.

179

Did he just admit I wasn't cool enough for him?

180

What do you think?

181

in the comments below and hey you've hit that like

182

and subscribe already right well i felt pretty annoyed

183

so i pretended to get a call from my mom

184

and went home early that weekend i was walking through the park

185

when i noticed nick was creeping up behind some lady sitting

186

on a bench was he about to rob her i didn't want to find out i couldn't stand it

187

so i tackled him from behind before he got too close

188

get off me psycho wait olivia you're the psycho you were going to attack

189

that woman attack her that's what you think of me nick's face was inches from mine

190

and his blue eyes looked really hurt.

191

I felt so guilty and embarrassed that I was wrong,

192

so I just ran off without saying a word.

193

After school that Monday, Nick was waiting by my locker.

194

Come to the park with me.

195

Why would I do that?

196

Just trust me.

197

At the park, I saw the same lady from the other day,

198

and as soon as she saw me,

199

she turned red and started hitting me with her purse.

200

Mom, stop!

201

Mom?

202

She attacked you!

203

It was a misunderstanding.

204

This is Olivia.

205

Oh, why didn't you say so?

206

She's even prettier in person.

207

What's going on?

208

My son paints with me every week.

209

I paint birds, but he always paints you.

210

She reached into her bag and pulled out a beautiful painting of me.

211

These are creepy, but amazing.

212

I'm bad at school, but I'm good at art.

213

Teachers think I'm stupid and I'm sick of it.

214

That's why I always ditch.

215

You're a regenius, but why me?

216

Because no one appreciates you either.

217

Wow, all these years, I thought no one could see me, but Nick did.

218

After that, I started spending a ton of time with Nick.

219

He was surprisingly sweet behind his tough guy act.

220

Once we were strolling, and he spotted the injured baby bird and saved it,

221

but he made me promise not to tell anybody.

222

Shhh, you're a big softy!

223

Shut up.

224

We quickly grew close, and eventually started to have lunch together near the school's eateries.

225

Oh, oh, hold up!

226

Don't call it a date.

227

Can I ask you a question?

228

Why do you have that dragon tattoo?

229

It matches the dragon on my mom's necklace.

230

I'm surprised you haven't noticed.

231

She never takes it off.

232

That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.

233

Yeah, yeah.

234

My turn now.

235

What's going on with that guy you text sometimes?

236

Brian?

237

Brian?

238

Bailey.

239

We were really close last summer,

240

but he's not who I thought he was.

241

Okay, that's good.

242

That means I could finally do this.

243

Next thing I knew, Nick was leaning across the table to kiss me,

244

and I couldn't resist and kissed him back.

245

All right, call it whatever you want.

246

Jeez, I'm just a bit shy, okay?

247

The whole way home, I couldn't stop blushing,

248

but just a few days later, things went south.

249

Nick wasn't at school that day,

250

and he wasn't answering my tests,

251

so I assumed he was sick and went straight home after school.

252

When I walked in, my parents were sitting in the living room with the police officers from the night of the intruder,

253

and in the middle of all of them was Bailey.

254

Bailey has some really important information about the intruder.

255

I totally forgot something I saw that night.

256

It was dark, but the intruder had a dragon on his chest.

257

No, it couldn't be.

258

There's a local troublemaker named Nick Costello Who has a tattoo of a dragon on his chest?

259

We arrested him before school today.

260

Nick would never do something like that.

261

Mom, I told you about Nick.

262

He- He had you fooled, Olivia.

263

He was probably just waiting to break in again.

264

Bailey walked up to me with his arms open and I crashed into him in a puddle of tears.

265

The days went by in a blur.

266

My parents tried making me feel better,

267

But I felt so lonely even

268

when I was going through something this upsetting baby only came over once to cheer me up I know you miss him,

269

but he's a loser now you can hang out with me instead You know

270

when I don't have better plans actually Bailey Nick is ten

271

times better than you are He actually likes spending time with me for who I am

272

and he's not a criminal or a loser Are you sure you saw a dragon tattoo?

273

It was definitely a dragon I could see it because it was

274

so shiny like one of those tattoos with glitter in it or something Shiny?

275

That doesn't sound like a tattoo.

276

That sounds like jewelry.

277

I have to go now!

278

I biked to the police station faster than a race car.

279

All the practice on my self-confidence led up to this moment.

280

You're going to let me talk to Nick right now!

281

Visitors, get ten minutes.

282

I'll bring him out.

283

How did Nick still look hot in one of those orange jumpsuits?

284

Your mom was the real intruder, wasn't she?

285

Bailey didn't see your tattoo.

286

He saw her dragon necklace.

287

Please, don't tell anyone.

288

But we have to get you out of here.

289

No!

290

My mom is sick, okay?

291

At night, it's like she becomes a different person.

292

She has no idea who she is or where she is,

293

and she gets into all sorts of trouble.

294

I go to the park with her so

295

that she doesn't get lost on her way home and go into the wrong house.

296

Why didn't you tell the police?

297

Because it's still all my fault.

298

The night she got into your house,

299

I was supposed to walk her home,

300

but I went to the arcade with my friends and lost track of time.

301

If the police find out,

302

they'll send her to a mental facility.

303

Hang on.

304

Did you see the arcade?

305

Nick, this is amazing.

306

There are cameras everywhere so kids don't cheat when they play.

307

We don't have to tell the police anything about your mom.

308

All we have to do is prove you couldn't have been the intruder.

309

I sprinted to the arcade and basically threw a tantrum until the manager gave me the security tapes from that night.

310

They totally proved that Nick was there the entire time.

311

I took the tape back to the cops and they had no choice but to let him go.

312

We bought Nick's mom a new necklace to replace the dragon

313

so that no one would ever figure out who the intruder was.

314

And whenever Nick was busy,

315

I spent time with his mom to make sure she didn't scare any other poor families by accident.

316

Once everything was settled, Nick told me to meet him at some abandoned building in town.

317

Uh, Nick, I thought you said this was romantic, but it's totally creepy.

318

Just trust me.

319

Remember when you caught me doing graffiti in the school?

320

Well, I never got to show you what I was painting.

321

He took me around the corner,

322

and my jaw hit the floor.

323

It was a beautiful painting of me.

324

I love you, Olivia.

325

I always have.

326

It's beautiful.

327

I love you, too.

328

But, uh, I definitely didn't always love you.

329

Awkward.

330

Nick burst out laughing and pulled me in for a kiss.

331

At that moment, I learned that you can find love in the craziest circumstances ever.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
