327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEGHeLOhBK
You know, I’m starting to get a bit jealous. All you need is a pretty face and long legs to make even girls like Alyson open up for you. I imagine my original face and compared it to the transformation.

…Is that really the only reason why my sister started to act like a bitch to me and everyone like me. Is she really that shallow?

I wish we could go back to how we were before….

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3NmRk4OgB
Enough, I need to re-focus. Alyson is the enemy and I’m going to take her place on the top. Let’s see how she likes it, being on the bottom and disregarded by everyone.

I swap mind reading for Paralysis. Finally got it down to 15 minutes this time. Since Mat’s item is a water gun the usage is 3 shots instead of a one-time use.
