Like i said i am new to twine and need help with the programming part. Like how to put a time limit on choosing before another thing happens.

idling

For time limits you'd use the <<timed>> macro:

<<nobr>>
<span id="hurry">[[You manage to catch the bus|store]]</span>
<<timed 10s>>
	<<replace "#hurry">>
		You missed the bus...
	<</replace>>
<</timed>>
<</nobr>>

For other basic help you might want to read the documentation or one of the countless tutorials.

@PupWiggles You need to state the name and full version number of the Story Format you are using, as answers can be different for each one.

Idling has supplied you with one possible solution if you are using the SugarCube 2.x story format.
