I Think I'm About To Vomit!

It was pink, it was horrible, and it was my cousin’s bedroom. I don’t know why I even agreed to go, oh yeah that’s right my mum forced me to go, she said it was going to be a good, friendly experience, well if she means playing zombie crushers, YES, but if she means playing Barbie dolls, she doesn’t know what I like.
Well I think she means playing Barbie dolls because when my cousin asked me to play, I tried to run but my mum stopped me at the door and asked me where I was going. Man I wish I knew my mum was there or I would have made my move a lot earlier.
As soon as that horrible experience was over, I checked if my mum was anywhere and she wasn’t so I ran into the bathroom. I stayed in there for 5 to 10 minutes until a note slipped from under the door it said, ‘Please, please, please come back, I will change the game to what you like,
from Alyssa’.
At first, I wouldn’t take the risk but then I realised that this sleepover couldn’t get any worse.
When I got out, my cousin said that we can play in her brother’s bedroom (which is blue) and we can play mine craft on her brothers XBOX 360. I thought to myself for a minute, ‘This could actually be the BEST SLEEPOVER EVER!!!!’
My aunty called us in to the kitchen to have dinner. I was horrified, I knew we were going to have fairy bread with fairy fries on the side. When my aunty said, “Dinner is served,” I gripped onto my chair tightly. My aunty lifted the lid, I gasped in surprise!! it was sausage rolls and party pies, a meal that normal people eat and boy can I tell you, they tasted delicious!!
My cousin and I ran into the bedroom after dinner and I made a promise that I will never run away from her again and she said that she will try different things next time.
