Jan lives in a small but comfortable home. She has three brothers, they're all older and she's only the youngest by 10 lousy minutes. Her brothers are good at everything, and they have always been. Being the first to accomplish something has always been hard for Jan to do, because her brothers have beaten her to it. Though, it is the first day of school, and anything could happen! Not only is it a new school this year, but it's high school! She can't believe she made it. She's very anxious about it, no question, and unsure of what to expec...
