Jan was lucky enough to not have a job, but unfortunate enough to live without a car and other such teenage privileges. So, after school, she had the task of walking home to deal with. Usually, she'd have a club or something to occupy her time, but since it was the beginning of the year, it was either walk home or watch Katelyn at cheer practice.
And Jan wasn't about to get jumbled up with those cheerleaders. She already felt bad about being jumbled up with the popular kids. It was obvious that she wasn't popular in the slightest anyways!
As she walked, she got a text from Katelyn about seeing her tomorrow and smiled. Katelyn was really her only friend in the entire world. Seeing how Katelyn was really the only one who cared about Jan, it made a lot of sense.
' Good luck at practice! I bet you can't wait for the football game! :) '
She smiled and continued walking. She lived far enough away to be offered a bus, but Jan hated riding buses. They were very crowded and smelly and loud and... Jan shivered. Just the thought of a school bus gave her the heeby jeebies.
When she got home, her mom and dad were still out. She drug her feet up the stairs to her room and pulled out her diary to reflect on the happenings of the day. She'd kept a diary since she was ten; she didn't know how to stop writing in one.
She remarked that the first day was bittersweet and made a note of Zane- her very rude English project partner with messy hair and a wrinkled black jacket.
