Shane Sinclair. Your average high school student, transferred to a new school for his senior year because of the new curriculum there. He arrives a day before class starts, and makes himself comfortable in his dormitory before the first day tomorrow. Yeah, this high school has dorms. Classy, right? Well, it's a fiction story. So anything's possible.
But when he wakes up the next day, he notices that something's off. Mainly the fact that there's now a countdown above everyone's heads, and everyone has different countdowns. You know what's weirder? No one can see their own countdown, only everyone else's.
No one knows what it's about, until they notice a guy's timer hit zero. What happens? A girl slides on a wet floor, and manages to land right in his arms as he catches him. Eventually, they become lovers.
And that's when they realize what these countdowns mean, and the principal has even given this phenomenon a name.
Moments. Moments are incidents that bring people destined to be, together.
Whether two rivals are partnered for a project, or a smart aleck realizes he may have an academic rival, they will always fall in love with the person their Moment has chosen for them.
Written by a new author, so expect illogical plot holes and improper grammar. Fully in English.
Updates on a whim, so some chapters may release early while others take weeks.
