Five More Minutes

Everyone has their own secrets. Lucy Smith has her own along with her freinds, her sister and her teachers. More importantly the new science teacher Mr. Oliver Stone. As the time ticks on in Lucy's last year of highschool, the struggles of pressure and expectations grow on the shoulders on each of the students.

Lucy herself struggles with a more pressing matter. One that is very much wrong and she knows it, but it doesn't stop herself from letting it grow. One of the more dolice questions is her science teachers fascination with clocks.

"Why do you have two old schools clocks , sir?" I ask him as I eat my lunch. He's leaning against his desk as he always does. He's putting his watch on.
