Combustion
"Go ten thousand miles an hour or not at all."I was fourteen years old when I feel in love with a lightning bolt. Fifteen when we became best friends, and sixteen when I kissed her.

Wendy just can't believe the word could be as simple as "No." But apparently, when this word is said at high decibels and paired with a slammed door, anything can happen. Like her Disney counterpart of the same name, Wendy sets her sight on the second star to the right. She plans to go straight on through morning or anything else that gets in her way. Because, who can blame her if she's not ready to grow up?…
