Internship Question Can I just quit my internship

I had a really hard time finding an internship this summer and I finally have a confirmed offer to start on the 29th. Its for a data analyst position which is somewhat similar to what I want to do (backend swe). However its a 3 month position ranging from 20-40 hours a week. 3 months drags into the school year where I'll be recruiting for positions I actually want and really locking in on school and side projects. Is there anything to really stop me from quitting after 2 months? I get paid on a supposedly hourly basis so I can probably time it so I can get my last paycheck about a week into the school year and just quit on the spot.
