Clockworld
“Do you fall for every guy you meet in a public toilet?”
Blackhall. A private boys school. A dumping ground for troubled youths and family problems. To date, the only fully-functional, above-ground educational facility on a newly colonised planet.
Clockworld certainly seemed like the perfect location on paper - a small, lush planetoid far from existing colonies, plentiful resources and solid land. It wasn’t until later that people realised all the native vegetation had hallucinogenic, psychotropic and other mind-altering properties. And it would be far too expensive to build again somewhere else.

“The jungle. The jungle is right outside. You walk twenty metres outside those gates and you’re in the middle of an alien planet.” Hathaway makes a small, nervous motion that’s not quite a shrug. “No one else seems to notice.”
***
Josie, War, Aubrey and Ping are just your average students, riddled with psychosis and hormones. They’re stuck on Clockworld until another world sees fit to take them back. Between the love triangles, shuttle malfunctions, fighting, ghosts and confused romantic feelings they might not even have time to get really, really ridiculously high.
