Time's Up!

Vivien is a high school student who loves math and physics. Steve is the clean-cut star of the high school swim team, and Vivien's boyfriend, while both are quite affluent. Roy, on the other hand is poor, has many tattoos, and is underperforming on the same swim team. He is warned that if he does not improve his times, he will miss out on both an upcoming meet in Rome in two weeks' time, which he needs for a college scholarship. Both the coach and his dad pressure him to improve, his dad reminding him that otherwise he will have to work at his garage. Vivien's suspicion that her mother is having an affair is confirmed when she trails her to a restaurant far from home and sees her indiscreetly with a man who is not her husband. Upset, Vivien walks by a group of teens, who take her bag and harass her. Roy, who knows them, swoops in to help. He suggests Vivien avoid this side of town to stay safe, having recognised his teammate's girlfriend. Steve is an inattentive boyfriend. He has been disappearing without calling or texting to let Vivien know where he is. Vivien is unhappy because of Steve's inattention, constant studying and is not confident of her knowledge. Although she does go to the venue, she puts off taking her quantum physics test. Steve has been remote with Vivien because he is in a secret relationship with Dylan, the college-aged swim coach. Roy has seen Steve and Dylan kissing in the pool shower. He hasn't said anything, nevertheless Steve threatens Roy about keeping the secret. Going to a costume party with her best friend, Vivien comes across Roy on the dance floor. Shortly after, he gets into a fistfight defending a long-time friend, who is revealed to be the tattoo artist who started inking him at 13. Steve and Roy are pitted against each other in the pool, and Roy beats him, thus qualifying to go with the team to Rome for the swim meet. Directly afterwards Vivien and Steve have a confrontation, he wanting to know why she was gone from the party by the time he showed, she pointing out he was again unreachable by phone. Although Vivien gives him an ultimatum about their relationship, he abruptly leaves with the team. Going home, Vivien confronts her parents, learning they separated a year ago, but were waiting to tell her once she was at college. Distraught, she goes to Rome to surprise Steve, but ends up spending the day with Roy. They walk around the city, take out a row boat and get drunk at a hotel's bar, doing a runner. At the end of the day, they kiss in a pool. Having mixed feelings, Vivien goes back to Steve's room, only to find him in bed with the coach. Shocked and heartbroken, Vivien runs out of the hotel with Roy chasing after her. Upset, she lashes out at him, saying hurtful things. Then, going after him to apologize into a dark street, Vivien is hit by a car. After initial treatment by the doctors in Rome, Vivien is transported to a hospital stateside without regaining consciousness. When she wakes days later, after he plays a song they heard buskers performing in Rome, initially she has no memory of what happened in Rome. Steve lies to her that she spent the day with him, while Roy keeps his distance. Eventually, Vivien remembers what actually happened, thanks to seeing the photos of their day in Rome. She goes to meet Roy, and they spend the night together. Newly confident in herself, she takes her physics test.
