sleeping if my aunt sees me like this, she will kill me. I gather all my strength to get out of be

It looks a bit old, but I bet the view from up there is going to be amusing. As soon as I got there, I tried to find the door. I got all around until I found a little door on the back of it. It was a bi

I reached the kitchen and a sigh of relief escaped my mouth, as luckily no one was there. I reach for the fridge and fill myself with a cup of water before swallowing the medicine and taking a big gu
