But Jane was not any of these girls. She was Jane Purdy, an ordinary girl who was no type at all. She was neither earnest nor intellectual, and she certainly wasn't the kind of the girl the boys flocked around. She was just a girl who liked to have a good time, who made reasonably good grades at school, and who still…

When a boy sees a girl every day and takes her to dinner in the city and buys her a back scratcher and notices the fog on her hair, naturally he asks her to go to the first school dance.

If only she didn't feel so dreadfully young! She wished so much not to be fifteen - to be old enough to be casual about a boy and to order coffee instead of vanilla ice cream. Fifteen was such an uncomfortable age to be when she liked a boy like Stan, a boy who was trusted with his father's car sometimes.
