Sitting at the very edge of adolescence, Felicity Rivers, the school's resident screw up, meets the seemingly buoyant Yaris Wasambe, the school's head prefect, on the verge of leaving the school premises at the dawn of their graduation ceremony.
Brought together by their mutual desire to escape the event, the two embark on a five-hour journey of goofing off, all in the while pretending as if their absences won't be noted.
This introspective short story explores the various conventions of two teens from entirely different backgrounds trying to break free from the pre-defined stereotypical lives society has set for them for as long as they can, which is about five hours.

Business And Hopelessness
"Your hair is full of snow," He chuckled as he looked at her, reaching out to push a strand of hair behind her ear. Some snow successfully fell off her, but he didn't withdraw his hand. He cupped her cheek, wiping away a few snowflakes from it. She was frozen, staring at him like a deer caught in headlights, her heart pounding in her chest. Then, raising his other hand, he cupped her cheeks fully. His eyes began to trace every inch of her face; her eyes, her cheeks, her nose, before his gaze dropped to her lips. Her heart skipped a beat as she tried to keep herself together. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seventeen-year-old Valentina Barron doesn't have the most ideal home life.
