Early on at Underdale High, Charlotte barely noticed scrawny Aaron Volta. But by year 10, everyone minded Sparkman. His touch charged phones, jumpstarted cars, or tased his former bullies into twitching, frothing lumps.
Throughout year 11, as Aaron grew quite handsome, Charlotte daydreamed of this moment—slow dancing at the school formal, staring into his electric-blue eyes. When their lips touched, every nerve tingled in ecstasy, and her dormant superpower blossomed. She began exuding pheromone clouds of pure acetylene.
Charlotte pulled her live wire down for another kiss. Sparks flew, her passion ignited, and every living soul within 100m incinerated.
