As Jan was walking to school, she kept thinking of how dumb she acted this morning at breakfast with her family. Especially with Greg. Jan mentally kicked herself for embarrassing herself like that in front of him.

"Jan! Jan!"

This snapped Jan out thoughts as she turned around searching for the voice who called her name.

Peter.

"Hey!" He said trying to catch his breath, "Gee, you sure walk fast."

Jan moved a strand of her hair behind her ears as she fake smiled, "Ha, yeah."

After Peter finally caught his breath, he looked at Jan weirdly. She took notice.

"Is there something wrong Peter?"

"No. But I think I should be asking you that question, Jan."

Jan broke eye contact with him as she converted her eyes to the ground.

"What do you mean Peter?"

"Jan, is there something going on? I mean, you've been acting…strange lately. Everyone's noticed and we're worried about you."

Jan immediately looked up. "What? Why? Peter I'm fine. Nothing's wrong!"

"Well it sure seems like it."

"Well there isn't, so you can go and tell everyone else that as well."

Right as Peter opened his mouth to speak a cherry red, 1970s convertible pulled up beside them as they continued to walk. The person rolled down the window revealing thee eldest Brady brother in the driver's seat and Marcia in the passenger's seat.

"Hey you two, hope in."

Peter looked in a trance as he admired the beauty of the cherry red convertible. Jan felt those same nerves that occurred this morning, now. She was a bit hesitant as she continued walking.

"Um, no thanks I'll walk."

"Oh, come on Jan! You don't want to be late for your first day of high school, do you?"

Jan thought about it, she did have a few ways to go on foot and even though she woke up early enough to do so. She didn't feel like doing it.

"Yeah Jan, come on." Greg insisted, Jan couldn't help the small smile that crept upon her freckled face when Greg asked her to.

She nodded, "Alright, if you insist."

They all cheered as Peter and Jan crawled into the back seat of Greg's convertible. It was a bunch of unwashed clothes in the backseat. Discreetly, Jan grabbed a t-shirt she always seen Greg wearing. She thought he looked absolutely handsome wearing it, so she stuffed it into her book bag as she would obsess over it later that day in her room alone.

Once they reached the huge building, also known as, Westdale High School. Jan gulped as she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear; Peter patted his sister on the back in a supporting way.

"It'll be alright sis, we've all been there."

"Yeah," Greg chimed in, "Don't sweat it too much, Jan. I'm sure you'll be a hit."

Jan blushed at Greg's kind words and got out the car along with the others.

"Now Jan," Marcia said, making her way around the cherry red convertible. "If you have any problems with your classes, let me know alright?"

Marcia was a teacher's aide. She had access to all the student's attendances, schedules, and etc. but of course she wouldn't use to her advantage in any kind of shady way. That would not be very Brady-like of her.

Jan smiled, "Of course, Marcia."

"And Jan, you already know if you need anything. I'm there in a heartbeat."

Jan couldn't help but blush, again! Geez, anything he would say to her would turn her red like a tomato. Hopefully he didn't notice.

The bell is what interrupted their conversation.

"Well, I gotta get goin' Ms. Pearce is no joke when it comes to tardiness. Later guys, good luck Jan!" And with that, Marcia was gone from the now, three remaining Bradys.

"Same goes for me, after school, make sure you two meet right back by my car unless you want to be footing it home."

"Gotcha" Peter nodded.

"Alright I'll see you later, remember what I said Jan." And with that, he was gone as well into a separate direction as Marcia.

"Well, you ready for this sis?" Peter asked

Jan sighed heavily, "No. But do I really have a choice?"

Peter chuckled, "Come on."

Peter walked Jan to the front office and helped her get her schedule for the semester.

"Your name?" The receptionist asked,

"Jan. Jan Brady."

The woman typed in her name and smiled, "Ah-ha." The woman printed out a piece of paper and handed it to Jan. "Here's your schedule for the semester. Enjoy your first day!"

Jan smiled nervously, "Thanks."

"Let me see your schedule."

Jan handed Peter her schedule, Peter's eyes skimmed down the list and a small smirk spread across his face. Jan scrunched her face in confusion.

"What?"

"You have Ms. Clark for algebra." He shook his head as he handed Jan her schedule back. "She's pretty tough. I had her last year."

"Well, she couldn't be that bad. What did you get in her class?"

"C"

Jan's eyes widen, "A C? Boy she really must be tough, then."

"Yeah."

Right then the warning bell rung, letting the remaining students in the hall know they had only minutes to spare if they were going to make it to class in time.

"Listen, I gotta go. But if you have any trouble, you already know where I am. Sophomore classes aren't too far from here."

"Alright, see ya Peter."

"See ya."

And with that, the two middle Bradys separated.

The rest of the day went by pretty fast; Jan liked most her classes and surprisingly her teachers as well. But the one she had the most trouble with was, indeed, Ms. Clark. Jan had showed up to her class a few minutes late after struggling to find it, and she, Ms. Clark, was all in a fuss about it.

It was now lunchtime and Jan had nowhere to sit. So she decided she'd eat outside under a tree, it wasn't a lot of people there so she figured, "why not?" as she got comfortable she looked up, she spotted, no other than, Greg. He didn't see her, but boy did she see him.

Gosh, it seemed like every time she'd see him, he'd get ten times more attractive than the last time she'd seen him. But her daydreaming was quickly interrupted when an unfamiliar looking girl came up to Greg. He smiled wrapping his arm around her and planting a passionate kiss onto her.

Jan felt her blood boil as the girl smiled, pulling away and flip her bangs out of her face. Jan had to admit, the girl was pretty – no beautiful. Greg's girlfriends were always beautiful. And that's what always made Jan feel so insecure about her self all the time. She felt she was never nearly as beautiful as the girls Greg would bring home, lowering her self-esteem to a maximum.

Jan sat there, thee entire time, watching the two love birds show affection towards each other. Jan didn't even get a chance to take a bite out of her lunch as she was so focused on Greg and this…random girl that seemed to be Greg's girlfriend whom he never mentioned before to Jan nor the rest of the Brady clan.

After lunch, the remainder of the day, Jan's mind was consumed by the thoughts of Greg and that girl he was with. Daydreaming and repeating in her head that kiss he gave her. Jan felt a part of her die a little inside, "If only Greg would kiss me like that" Jan thought repeatedly in her head. "Oh, how that would be a dream come true..."

After school, Jan took her sweet time making her way back to Greg's car as it was hard to see him without thinking of him and that random girl sucking faces with each other just a few hours ago.

"Hey Jan! How was your first day?!"

"Did you make any new friends?!"

"Did you see any cute guys?!"

The three Bradys asked her at the same time, Jan answered blandly.

"It was fine." And with that, she got into the car and slammed the door shut. The three Bradys looked at each other in confusion and concern as they got into the car and the rest of the car ride back home remained in silence.
