1
Seconds before I was about to step onto the rink with my skating partner and boyfriend Victor, he turned to me nervously.
2
Are you sure about this? Of course!
3
My name is Quinn for a reason, darling.
4
The crowd went wild as we danced flawlessly.
5
Towards the end of the routine, I skated towards Victor, and he threw me in the air.
6
The stadium went silent as I gracefully spun a few times before landing in his arms.
7
The audience erupted as Victor pulled me in for a kiss.
8
As expected, we ate the competition and left no crumbs.
9
Hi, my name is Quinn, and I was the most popular girl in school and the best figure skater in town.
10
My life was perfect, but then everything changed in the worst way ever.
11
But first, please like and subscribe.
12
Later that night, my best friend Elena arranged a pool party for us at her mansion and invited everyone.
13
You know I hate huge parties, right?
14
Oh, come on, girl.
15
One more competition and you guys are gonna get into the Olympics.
16
We need to celebrate this.
17
Actually, we need to study for our finals next week.
18
Let's forget about everything and have some real fun tonight, babe.
19
Victor jumped into the pool and Elena followed.
20
And, well, I couldn't resist for too long either.
21
But as I was walking towards the pool, I suddenly slipped on something.
22
I felt my head hit the ground and everything went black.
23
When I opened my eyes again, I realized that I was in the hospital.
24
Just then, a nurse came in, and she looked shocked to see me awake.
25
She called for the doctor who came running in and started to examine me.
26
When I asked him what was going on, he dropped a bombshell on me.
27
You had a serious head injury and fell into a coma for three years and two months.
28
It's a miracle you're awake, and all your functions seem perfectly normal.
29
But I wouldn't recommend skating for a while, and...
30
As he went on, I sat there dazed, letting his words sink in.
31
I'd been in a coma for three years, but what about my career?
32
And everyone had left high school?
33
Who was the US president now?
34
I was having a panic attack.
35
My parents were out of town, but the doctor quickly got them on the phone, and they started shrieking in excitement.
36
Oh my god, you're awake.
37
We're coming home right away, honey.
38
And please, don't meet anyone until we've talked, okay?
39
Love you.
40
But as soon as I got out of the hospital, I asked my driver to take me to Victor's house.
41
And he looked like he'd seen a ghost.
42
Qu-Quinn?
43
Is that really you?
44
Surprise!
45
Did you miss me?
46
Of course I missed you.
47
I just can't believe you're here.
48
I threw my arms around his neck and lifted my head for a kiss.
49
But just then, a girl suddenly appeared behind him.
50
Elena!
51
Bestie!
52
Oh my god, is this for real?
53
I can't believe I've been sleeping for three freaking years!
54
I need to know everything.
55
Um, well, Victor and I had our third sectional win yesterday, and we'll be competing in the nationals soon.
56
I literally buffered for a few seconds.
57
What the what?
58
She replaced you as my partner a year after your accident.
59
Oh, wow.
60
That's great.
61
Elena's pretty good at skating, too.
62
I know, right?
63
We make a good team.
64
And, um, one more thing.
65
We're engaged.
66
Haha, nice joke, bestie.
67
But I felt like an elephant had slapped me when they both went silent.
68
Oh, you're serious?
69
You're not mad at us, right?
70
I mean, it has been three years.
71
We didn't know if you'd ever wake up.
72
Of course, I understand.
73
I'm happy for you.
74
And then I turned and quickly left in my car, feeling like a zombie.
75
But when I got home, I had a complete meltdown.
76
Soon, I learned that aside from skating together and being engaged, Lena and Victor were studying at my dream university too.
77
And it felt more painful than 10 toothaches.
78
I visited the rink where I'd always practiced, but no one seemed to recognize me anymore.
79
Everyone had moved on, while I'd lost three years, my career, my best friend, and my boyfriend.
80
When my parents finally arrived, they did everything to cheer me up, but I just felt depressed.
81
I had to start all over again, and I didn't know how.
82
Mom convinced me that the first step was to go back to high school and finish it.
83
But everyone my age had graduated, and being the oldest in class was weird.
84
And it just made me miss Victor more.
85
One day I was at the grocery store when I saw Victor and Elena being interviewed on television.
86
It really hurt to see how happy they looked together.
87
I felt like another meltdown was coming.
88
But just then the cashier caught my attention.
89
He was dancing as he worked. So extra.
90
But when he turned around, I saw that he was really cute.
91
To my surprise, he gave me a knowing smile and winked.
92
I just ignored him and walked away.
93
A few days later, I was sitting at a cafe near my school that always played classical music.
94
My favorite.
95
But just then, a guy started playing a loud song on his little speaker, and it sounded so annoying.
96
Suddenly our eyes met, and I realized that it was the extra cute cashier.
97
He walked up to my table and then started poking my cheek.
98
Excuse me, what are you doing?
99
Sorry, I've been wanting to check if you're real since I saw you at the grocery store.
100
You're just too beautiful for this world.
101
And you're just too cheesy for the whole universe.
102
But at least I made you smile.
103
I'm Derek, by the way. And you?
104
Quinn.
105
Nice name, Quinn.
106
Do you need a king?
107
Nope.
108
I just need you to shut your noisy music off.
109
Hip-hop music is not noise.
110
It's amazing.
111
Sure.
112
Whatever makes you happy.
113
It's you, babe.
114
I wanted to roll my eyes, but I ended up smiling instead.
115
After that, Derek always turned up when I was in the cafe, and I enjoyed his company.
116
I learned that he was a working college student who dreamed of becoming a famous hip-hop dancer someday.
117
He was flirty and funny and a great listener.
118
If your ex really loved you, he would have waited for you.
119
Just forget him.
120
I'm sure I'm more handsome.
121
Maybe.
122
But he definitely dresses better than you.
123
Derek always wore hoodies and jerseys thrice his size.
124
He was the opposite of Victor, who always looked like a prince.
125
Snap out of it, Quinn.
126
He's engaged.
127
One day when I was with Derek, a familiar couple entered the cafe.
128
Victor and Elena.
129
I had to show them that I was doing just fine.
130
As I saw them getting closer, I let out an exaggerated laugh.
131
Oh, my boo-boo bear!
132
You're so funny, I want to die!
133
What's so funny about my neighbor's cat dying?
134
But I continued laughing as if an octopus was tickling me.
135
Oh, hey girl!
136
Oh my god, hi!
137
What brings you two here?
138
This guy just can't get enough of me, so he brought me here on a lunch date.
139
I heard you went back to school.
140
Yeah, life goes on, you know.
141
Oh, this is my boyfriend, Derek.
142
He's a hip-hop dancer.
143
Victor suddenly butt in.
144
I thought you hated hip-hop.
145
Not when my boo-boo bear dances to it.
146
He's just the coolest.
147
You really think so?
148
Victor looked rather mad.
149
He was jealous, and I was loving it.
150
They sat at a table across from ours, and I jumped onto Derek's lap and started feeding him french fries.
151
Victor kept looking my way, and Elena looked furious.
152
Yes.
153
Soon enough, the lovebirds were having an argument, and they both left.
154
So, I'm your boyfriend now, huh?
155
I'm sorry, that came out of nowhere, but I just had to do it.
156
I didn't want to look like a loser in front of them.
157
I get it.
158
We can continue pretending, you know, to show them.
159
Just be careful, though.
160
You might fall in love with me, for real.
161
Oh, trust me, I won't.
162
You're not my type.
163
And just like that, I got myself a brand new boyfriend.
164
And the chance to take him with me came soon enough
165
when I heard about the next skating competition Elena and Victor were participating in.
166
I had to see how good she was.
167
And I was stunned.
168
Elena skated like a pro.
169
And their chemistry was on fire.
170
To make things worse, Victor kissed her after their performance.
171
Suddenly, I just found myself crying.
172
Derek turned to me, and my heart kind of fluttered as he wiped my tears.
173
Remember, you're a queen.
174
You're right, I have to get back on the rink.
175
And this time, I don't need a partner.
176
I wasn't allowed to skate yet, but I started training anyway.
177
And I was too stubborn to listen to my parents or Derek who tried to stop me.
178
Even if you're my fake boyfriend, you have to support me.
179
Okay, fine.
180
But on one condition.
181
I have to be with you whenever you practice.
182
I'll protect you.
183
That's my coach's job.
184
Do you even know how to skate?
185
Oh, baby.
186
I'm the breakdancing king.
187
Skating would be a piece of cake.
188
But when he finally got on his skating shoes, I almost died laughing.
189
He looked like a scared baby and kept falling on his butt.
190
Relax.
191
Just trust me and don't let go.
192
I won't.
193
The next minute, he slipped again, but I was quick to grab him.
194
As I pulled him back up, our lips almost touched, which sent my heartbeat racing.
195
But before things could get weirder, my coach arrived.
196
And I felt a bit disappointed it?
197
My birthday was in three days, and my parents decided to throw a huge party to celebrate.
198
They invited all their rich friends, including Victor and his parents.
199
It was my chance to show off my new boyfriend to everyone, but I knew what these people were like, and I had to make some changes to Derek.
200
I'll send some stylists over before the party, and one of my cars will pick you up, okay?
201
Oh, okay.
202
Sure.
203
See you later, then.
204
On the evening of the party, everyone had already arrived when a Lamborghini pulled into the driveway, and my jaw dropped when Derek stepped out.
205
He was wearing a white suit and his hair was brushed up.
206
He looked gorgeous, and clearly I wasn't the only one who thought so.
207
I introduced him to my parents, and they looked impressed.
208
Everything was going smoothly, till they started asking about what his parents did for a living.
209
Thankfully, someone walked in just then to distract them, and I saw that it was Victor.
210
Elena wasn't with him, and I wondered why.
211
Oh, it's been a while, sweetheart.
212
You look even more handsome than before.
213
So perfect for my daughter.
214
Is it too late for you guys to get back together?
215
Mom and her rich friends kept on gushing over Victor, which annoyed me so much.
216
How could they do that in front of my boyfriend?
217
They didn't know he was fake, but suddenly, Derek walked up to the grand piano and asked for everyone's attention.
218
I would like to dedicate this song to my amazing girlfriend girlfriend.
219
Quinn, the queen of my life.
220
He started playing one of my favorite love songs, and my heart just melted.
221
Everyone was mesmerized by his lovely performance.
222
But just as he finished, his phone started ringing, and his ringtone was a hip-hop song with some embarrassing lyrics.
223
It made everyone's eyebrows shoot up with judgment.
224
As Derek panicked to turn it off, he suddenly crashed into the waiter behind him and ended up with food all over him.
225
As they ran to help him, I heard Victor laugh.
226
A few piano tricks and some borrowed clothes can't buy something, like class.
227
It's so obvious that he's not one of us, Quinn.
228
Derek glared at him angrily, and I was afraid the two might break into a fight.
229
So I dragged him out of the party and apologized for everyone's behavior.
230
But you think the same, don't you?
231
That's why you groomed me, to make me presentable.
232
Derek, that was a mistake, and I'm sorry.
233
Let's get out of here.
234
But what about your party.
235
I hate huge parties.
236
Take me somewhere else, please.
237
He took me to a club, and everyone was just looking at him as he danced.
238
I totally understood why.
239
Come on, dance with me.
240
I'm not into hip-hop.
241
But he pulled me onto the dance floor, and we just went wild.
242
As the song ended, everyone clapped for us, and he drew me close.
243
I'm sorry for ruining your birthday.
244
You actually made it better.
245
And before I knew it, I found myself kissing him, and it felt surreal.
246
I couldn't stop thinking about Derek or that kiss all night, but I really had to focus on my skating because I'd entered my name into the next big competition.
247
I had to work hard to get my momentum back and to learn how to dance without a partner.
248
One day while I was practicing alone on the rink, Victor suddenly turned up.
249
What are you doing here?
250
And why were you such a jerk to my boyfriend?
251
Quinn, can we forget about everyone else for a moment?
252
Will you dance with me?
253
For old time's sake.
254
I did miss skating with him, so I gave in.
255
We started dancing together and it felt so natural.
256
We just knew each other's minds and bodies on the rink and we fit together perfectly.
257
The other skaters started gathering around to watch us in amazement.
258
As the music ended, we were both out of breath and suddenly he leaned in and kissed me.
259
But just Then I spotted Derek watching us and he turned to leave Derek.
260
No wait as I ran after him Victor grabbed my hand Let him go come back to me.
261
I miss you, but what about Elena?
262
You're engaged But I like you more
263
and with you by my side we can definitely reach the Olympics Maybe we're just meant to be friends Victor.
264
We both know we're not we belong together I'll wait for you till you come back to your senses Quinn.
265
I still love you He was making me so confused.
266
I was getting along really well with Derek, but now he wanted me back and it was messing with my head.
267
But the worst part was that our kiss was all over the news, with speculation that we were getting back together.
268
Derek had stopped showing up in the cafe, so I went to the grocery store one day to see him.
269
What's wrong?
270
Are you avoiding me?
271
No, I just don't think you need me anymore.
272
You got what you wanted?
273
If you're talking about Victor, then you're mistaken.
274
We're not back together.
275
I just can't decide yet.
276
Take your time.
277
But I'm not going to stick around for you to make up your mind.
278
He's the right choice.
279
Trust me.
280
But I like you, Derek.
281
I really do.
282
If that was true, you wouldn't have asked me to try to be something that I'm not.
283
We both know that I don't belong in your world, Quinn.
284
He got back to work, and I left.
285
I just wanted to cry.
286
When I got home, a maid told me there was a visitor in my room.
287
I walked in, and suddenly, someone slammed the door shut and pinned me against it.
288
Elena, what are you doing?
289
Stop messing with my Victor.
290
It's been three years, and you need to move on.
291
It's not what you think.
292
What happened in the rink was nothing.
293
Drop the act.
294
I know you're trying to win him back, but he's mine now.
295
Just deal with it.
296
But the next few days, I didn't even think much of Victor.
297
All I cared about was Derek avoiding me, and it was driving me crazy.
298
I could hardly focus on my training, and the competition was in two days.
299
I wanted to quit, but everyone was expecting my comeback.
300
When the big day came, I felt like peeing from nervousness.
301
I scanned the crowd, hoping to see Derek's face, but he hadn't come.
302
Just as I was putting my shoes on in the locker room, Victor came in.
303
I see Derek's not here.
304
I'm happy you sent that loser packing.
305
I knew you couldn't be serious about him.
306
I'll dump Elena tonight, too.
307
She's probably gonna cry a lot, which will be annoying, but...
308
Victor, I am serious about him.
309
But even if I wasn't, there's no future for you and me.
310
I don't know why it took me so long to see that you're kind of a jerk.
311
Don't be stupid, Quinn.
312
I am your future.
313
You need me as a partner.
314
No, Victor, I really don't.
315
Being alone has taught me that I can be alone.
316
Just as I pushed him out of my way, we both saw Elena by the door, and she'd clearly heard everything.
317
She went bonkers and attacked Victor, and I ran off grinning.
318
He deserved it.
319
I started my routine feeling confident, and just then, I spotted Derek in the crowd.
320
Suddenly, I felt electrified.
321
I did a few of my best moves, and the judges gave me a standing ovation.
322
I ended up in second place, though, but I wasn't disappointed.
323
I was just starting all over again, and it was a really good start.
324
I didn't expect to see you here.
325
I think you should have come first.
326
You're amazing.
327
Just having you here makes me feel like I won.
328
I missed you, Derek, and I love you.
329
Just the way you are.
330
Do you really mean it this time?
331
What do you think?
332
I think you need to kiss me to prove it.
333
I leaned in, and just as our lips were about to touch, I said teasingly, You're gonna have to catch me first.
334
Bring it on.
335
Thank you.

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.
