353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJheAOnfbj2
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTKNTJyu2b
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?

353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz6NO3osc3
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.
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEZxgRAqGc

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.
