Beginning of Time

Ever since Quinn was born, she had a countdown on her wrist almost like a time bomb. Her parents didn't know what it was so they took her to a specialist, but sadly they didn't find any explanation to it.

As time went on, her parents thought it may be the last days she has left. They took extra care of her, it wasn't a sickness, but they sure did act like it was. Nothing has happened to her during the first 15 years, the time still kept counting down.

It's Quinn's first day of high school, her time went down to 2 days, 11 hours, 20 minutes, and 55 seconds. The blonde didn't know what it meant she was scared out of her mind, her time was running out. But that didn't stop Quinn from enjoying her first day.

The next day became worst, her time was read 2 minutes and 9 seconds. Quinn felt like passing out, her life was ending anyways so might as well go way now. She walked her way to the bathroom to only find out that her time is now 1 minute. Before she could go in the restroom her eyes caught sight of a girl being carried away in a gurney.

"What's happening?" Quinn asked a random boy

"Rachel just fainted out of nowhere" He replied

Before Quinn could ask who Rachel was, she felt a shock on her wrist. "Oh no..no.."

Quinn ran to the nearest janitor's closest and hoped that God isn't ready to take her life. Quinn's breathes became unsteady, her heart rate increased with fear. She took one look down at her wrist and the unbelievable happened: she had more time.

Quinn felt the pressure off her chest and smiled in relief. Maybe the time resets after a long period of time? Quinn is determined to find out what her time means, in the mean time she has to continue with her life while she can and act like everything's okay.

Rachel forced her eyes to open, for a moment she panicked considering she doesn't remember what happen at school. The brunette spotted her two fathers at the door with puffy eyes and tissues.

She smiled "Dad, Daddy?"

"You're okay, sweetheart" Leroy said

"What happened?" Rachel rubbed her head "And why does my head hurt so much?"

"You fainted landing on your head" Her another father, Hiram, answered

"Again?"

Ever since Rachel was a little girl she had been experiencing syncope. Which was strange since Rachel has always been eating healthy and taking care of her body. The doctors say it's just presyncope, but the Berry men don't buy that for one second.

"Yes again" Leroy sat besides Rachel to hold her hand "Rachel. Your father and I have been talking..and well, I think it's best if we home-school you from now on"

Rachel cringed at the word 'home-school'. Home-school is for people who have conditions preventing them to go to regular school. Home-school and Rachel just don't mix.

Rachel chuckle in disbelief "Dad, I'm fine. You don't have to go to the extremes"

"Actually, we do. This has happened every school year"

Rachel turned her head towards Hiram "Dad, tell him-"

"It's final Rachel. You're getting home-schooled" Hiram interrupted

Both men left the room to give their daughter time to soak in the news. Rachel felt like bursting into tears, home-school does not look good in a college application. She's not going to go far with that! If she's lucky she could probably attend Community College. Her Broadway dreams are now over..

Rachel felt a sting on her wrist, she removed the bandage and examined her wrist

"At least I have more time now"
