1
Hi, I'm Tia from the United States.
2
Before we begin my tale, please like and subscribe.
3
I'm just your average high school girl next door.
4
Pretty, talented, and great at parties.
5
I had everything I could ever want.
6
Even my parents were awesome.
7
There was only one thing I really wanted.
8
A boyfriend.
9
I dated before, but all those guys were jerks.
10
I even said yes to a nerd for one date just to see if he'd surprise me.
11
Never trying that again.
12
No, thank you.
13
Next!
14
I was beginning to lose hope in ever finding my prince charming.
15
That was until Chris came into my world years later in high school.
16
My eyes were immediately hooked onto him.
17
The looks, the smile, and the muscles rippling underneath his shirt.
18
I just had to have him.
19
So I asked him out, something I would never do normally.
20
But it all worked out, because he said yes.
21
It didn't take long for us to finally go on our first dinner date.
22
It was incredible.
23
He was such a gentleman, and knew just the right things to say.
24
I knew, right as he took my hand, that he was the one.
25
But I couldn't shake the feeling of deja vu, like I'd met Chris before.
26
Oh well, I'm sure it's nothing.
27
For the next few months, we went on many different dates, traveling all over the city, eating wonderful foods, and studying together at night.
28
Everything was perfect.
29
I had finally found a good boyfriend, and he was a keeper.
30
But of course, something just had to happen to ruin it.
31
Chris had planned a date at a fancy new restaurant downtown.
32
I was so excited.
33
I actually got ready early this time and speed walked to the restaurant with a spring in my step.
34
But when I finally got there, my heart fell to the floor and shattered.
35
Sitting next to my boyfriend was another girl with her arm around his shoulder.
36
I didn't care if he looked a bit uncomfortable.
37
I wasn't taking this betrayal lying down.
38
So I burst through the doors and marched straight up to the duo's seat.
39
Who is this?
40
Dia?
41
You're early.
42
Answer the question, Chris.
43
How could you cheat on me?
44
Wait, I didn't cheat.
45
Who is this then?
46
Hello, you must be Tia.
47
I've been looking forward to meeting you.
48
I'm Chris's big sister.
49
The name's Vecta.
50
The girl's cheeky smirk nearly made me get physical, but her last words registered just in time.
51
Uh, sister?
52
Yep.
53
I wanted to see who claimed my brother's heart and changed him so much.
54
You see, I'm very interested because Chris and I are very close.
55
That's funny because he never mentioned you.
56
I thought I'd introduce you two when the time was right, but since Vecta is here, I guess there's no time like the present.
57
Well, nice to meet you.
58
But we are supposed to be on a date.
59
I don't want to be mean or anything, but...
60
She's right, Vekta.
61
You should go home.
62
I'll be back soon.
63
Oh, she didn't like that.
64
She looked at us both, and instead of leaving, got comfortable.
65
Nah, you two just act like I'm not even here.
66
You won't even notice me.
67
Besides, I'm starving.
68
Fine.
69
Fine?
70
It wasn't fine with me, but she was a sister.
71
And it was just one evening.
72
How hard would it be to get through it?
73
Turns out, really hard.
74
She kept interrupting non-stop.
75
Oh, Chris, I have this really funny story to tell you.
76
That's hilarious!
77
Oh, stop it, Tia!
78
I think I just peed a little.
79
I didn't even tell it yet.
80
But I know it's really funny.
81
You just said so yourself.
82
Which reminds me, Chris, I've got a joke that'll make you poop.
83
So, a duck and a chicken walk into a bar.
84
She kept picking up food from Chris's plate and fussing over him.
85
Why would you order this dish?
86
You hate olives and broccoli.
87
Here, I'll take those.
88
Also, you've got sauce on your face.
89
There, I got it.
90
Do you need to blow your nose, Chrissy?
91
And when she wasn't acting like his freaking mother, she kept staring daggers at me.
92
I tried to act like I wasn't bothered at all and leaned over to feed Chris some of my pasta.
93
But seconds later, he started coughing and turning blue.
94
Oh my god, you poisoned him!
95
What?
96
Of course I didn't!
97
Chris, are you okay?
98
Say something!
99
He can't, you moron.
100
His tongue is swollen?
101
What is in that pasta?
102
Blueberries?
103
Kiwis?
104
Dandelion tea?
105
Rosehip oil?
106
Diet Coke?
107
N-no!
108
Honey?
109
Oysters?
110
Anchovies?
111
Yes, it has anchovies!
112
Don't you know anything about him at all?
113
And with that, she quickly reached into her bag, pulled out an EpiPen, and stabbed him with it in the thigh.
114
He gasped and coughed some more, but he could finally breathe.
115
What would you do without me, bro?
116
The date ended after that, thankfully.
117
And as I went home, I hoped it was the last I'd ever see of her.
118
But for the next two months, it was the same.
119
No matter where we went and what we did, Vecta was there to ruin it.
120
Chris just couldn't seem to shake her off and would let her stay.
121
And she kept making it obvious that she disapproved of me greatly.
122
I'd catch her staring at me with disdain, like I wasn't worthy of him or something.
123
It didn't feel like the frustrations of some jealous ex, thank god, but it was something serious.
124
Enough to squeeze herself in on our dates and annoy me while wearing the most outlandish cosplay outfits and hairstyles. So childish!
125
It was even affecting Chris.
126
He had been looking more downcast lately.
127
It came to a head when he actually decided to hang out with Vecta over me for a day.
128
What?
129
Look, she's my sister, and I have been neglecting her recently.
130
But what about our date today?
131
She would just crash it as usual.
132
I promise we'll hang out this weekend.
133
Just the two of us.
134
He kissed me on the cheek and then left me devastated and confused.
135
That night in bed, I stayed up pounding my pillow, imagining it was Vecta's face.
136
I wanted her private time back, but as much as I wanted to slap her, violence wasn't the solution.
137
Instead, I needed to know what Vecta's problem was.
138
There must be a reason for why she was acting the way she was.
139
Luckily, a puzzle piece fell into place during the weekend.
140
As promised, I was hanging out with Chris at his place.
141
We were watching a cheesy romance movie while snuggling on the couch.
142
Right on time, Vecta came out of nowhere and inserted herself into our lives again.
143
No, literally.
144
She came and sat between us on the couch, holding a dead potted plant.
145
You let our plant die?
146
The plant that symbolizes our bond as brother and sister?
147
I've never even seen that plant before.
148
Vecta, what do you want?
149
A plant that's alive?
150
But I guess that ship has sailed.
151
Do you know what next week is, Christopher?
152
Christopher?
153
Now, why did that name sound so familiar?
154
Before I could remember anything, Chris let out a loud sigh.
155
I told you not to call me by that name.
156
Whatever.
157
Now guess, before I call you by your real name again, that's your real name?
158
Used to be.
159
Anyway, I don't know what's happening next week, Vecta.
160
Can you just leave us alone today?
161
A part of me was jumping for joy at the way Chris snapped at her, but another part noticed how hurt Vecta looked.
162
I gave in to my more merciful half.
163
What's happening next week, Vecta?
164
It's the annual LARPing Capture the Flag event for our city.
165
LARPing?
166
Like the thing nerds do outside?
167
Playing pretend?
168
Yeah, figures you would say that.
169
Are you attending it with me, Christopher?
170
You can even bring your girlfriend.
171
Why would I do that?
172
Th-that's for losers!
173
Then Tia should fit right in.
174
That was it!
175
What is your problem?
176
You!
177
Sis?
178
No, everything was fine before she showed up in your life.
179
I could say the same for you!
180
Stop it, you two!
181
No, not if we want this to stop for good.
182
Vecta, I have a proposal.
183
Interesting.
184
Shoot, we'll join your stupid game.
185
Do we play in teams?
186
Oh, I see where you're going with this.
187
Yeah, we do.
188
I'll be on the team opposing yours.
189
If my team wins, you'll stop interfering in our relationship.
190
And if mine wins, you'll break up with Christopher.
191
That is not your choice to make, Vecta.
192
What?
193
Scared she'll lose?
194
Get bored of you in the game, walking away from both?
195
What?
196
I wouldn't do that.
197
I love Christopher, and I'll prove it by beating you.
198
Deal?
199
Deal.
200
We shook hands, and I suddenly realized I just made a deal with the devil.
201
All because I let my emotions get the better of me.
202
I don't even know how to...
203
LARP.
204
But there was no backing down now.
205
My relationship was on the line.
206
Before this is over, I'm going to remind my brother of who he really is.
207
All while kicking you to the curb where you belong.
208
Good luck.
209
You're gonna need it.
210
Vecca left, and I slumped down on the couch.
211
What did I just sign myself up for?
212
Chris sighed before looking at me with determination.
213
If we're going to do this, then I'll have to train you.
214
You know how to LARP?
215
Of course not.
216
I just picked up some things from my sister.
217
If you say so.
218
Where do we start?
219
Conditioning.
220
Say what?
221
Chris was not joking.
222
I was put through actual exercises and drills like I was preparing for the army.
223
I was seconds away from giving up, but I refused to lose to Vecta.
224
So I pushed on.
225
And you know what?
226
I'm glad I kept at it.
227
Sure, the conditioning was terrible, but once I was actually playing the game, it felt like I was in another world.
228
It was magical, and so different from anything I was used to.
229
But what really made it all worth it was Chris.
230
He was really enjoying himself.
231
That, and his immense knowledge on LARPing, made it clear he had played before, although he refused to admit it.
232
I hadn't seen him smile like this since ever, really.
233
And if he was happy, I was happy.
234
Eventually, the weekend came, and it was finally time for the event.
235
And when we arrived at the venue, oh my god, there were at least 200 people here!
236
They had even built small buildings and tents, and the large space with a nice forest surrounding us made it even more picturesque.
237
Before I could really appreciate the beauty, Veta came running up to Chris.
238
Christopher, you really came?
239
Of course, we both did.
240
Hello.
241
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you.
242
Are you sure she won't slow you down?
243
I paid for you to lose because of a handicap.
244
Hey!
245
No worries, she's a natural.
246
She even started to like it.
247
Sh-she did?
248
Yep, this isn't so bad.
249
I-I'm sure she's just faking it.
250
I'll prove it by winning this thing.
251
Before Chris could say anything, Vecta fled into the crowd.
252
She really doesn't trust me, huh?
253
I'm sorry.
254
No need to apologize.
255
She's just a- No, she's lonely, okay?
256
Please don't hate her for this.
257
It's my fault anyway.
258
Before I could dig further, a horn echoed throughout the field.
259
It was almost time.
260
The two teams, red and green, got into position.
261
The two flags were placed in their proper bases.
262
Finally, the next horn signaled the start of battle.
263
I kept close to Chris.
264
Despite the training, this was still nerve-wracking.
265
The worst part was the mages in the teams pretending to react to their own foam ball spells.
266
It was a struggle at first, but eventually I got used to it and started having fun.
267
I could tell Chris was having a blast too.
268
Even more so when he noticed I was having fun too.
269
Eventually, our squad was closing in on the enemy camp.
270
Our leader suggested a pincer attack.
271
Chris was on the other attack squad, which nearly caused me to panic.
272
But a comforting hand to the shoulder later, I calmed down.
273
So we split up and went deeper into the forest.
274
And this is where things got bad.
275
One by one, my squad was picked off by some archer in the woods.
276
It didn't take long for me to be the Last one standing.
277
That's when the culprit revealed herself.
278
I'm surprised you lasted this long.
279
Vecta, of course.
280
I should have known.
281
We stared each other down before Vecta threw down her bow and drew her foam sword and shield.
282
Let's make a new deal.
283
The first one to get a hit wins.
284
Same conditions from before apply.
285
I drew my own sword and shield.
286
Fine.
287
Good.
288
Prepare for failure.
289
Wasting no time, Vecta charged at me as if this was a life and death battle, and I responded in kind.
290
I wasn't losing my relationship with Chris.
291
We clashed repeatedly, trading blows on our shields, unevil to get a body shot.
292
Shockingly, I was holding my own.
293
Chris had taught me well.
294
I dodged an attack to my leg and asked the burning question in my head.
295
What is your problem with me dating Chris?
296
Shouldn't you be happy for him?
297
Now that really got her mad, and she was lashing out even harder.
298
You seriously haven't figured it out?
299
Of course not.
300
Why would someone like you remember some poor, nerdy boy who bravely asked the popular girl out.
301
Huh?
302
Suddenly, it all fell into place.
303
Chris was Christopher, the nerdy boy I had turned down all those years ago.
304
Christopher used to be a big nerd just like me, and we were always super close.
305
But he decided to abandon who he is to become the kind of guy you'd want, a typical Prince Charming.
306
I barely even recognize him now.
307
I felt ashamed of how I hadn't even given Christopher a chance before.
308
I judged him by his appearance before I even got to know how sweet and amazing he was.
309
But I knew that now, and I liked everything about him.
310
Nerdy side and all, I wasn't so shallow anymore.
311
With renewed determination, I took advantage of Vecta's rash attacks and finally got a hit on her side, and she lost!
312
She was about to break down into tears, but before that could happen, I hugged her.
313
I get why you hate me, Vecta, and I'm sorry for turning him down like that before.
314
Your brother is a great guy, and I would never want to change him.
315
Are you serious?
316
Yeah, I love him after all.
317
For the first time, I actually saw Vecta give me a genuine smile.
318
I gladly returned it.
319
Just then, the horn blew, signaling someone had won.
320
We ran back to the team's base, and the sight brought another smile to our faces.
321
Chris, no, Christopher, was being carried by his team while holding the green flag, and the smile he wore melted my heart.
322
We won!
323
My brother is something special, huh?
324
He sure is.
325
Thank you.

- /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: horn /hɔɹn/, rosehip /ˈɹoʊzˌhɪp/, handicap /ˈhændikæp/, hug /hʌɡ/, hilarious /hɪˈlɛə.ɹi.əs/

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
