Britney is in high school, sitting in the middle of an intensely boring class. The school bell rings, letting all the students out of school, and allowing Britney to sing her heart out. Dressed in a Catholic school girl uniform, mixed with classic Britney spice, she shows us her stuff by dancing and singing down the hall. Then, were taken outside where she is in an athletic outfit and dancing with other students. Britney does another dance routine outside, with a bit of gymnastics incorporated into it. Then, were taken to the gym, where she is in another sporty outfit. A basketball game is underway as Britney sullenly sings on the bleachers. Several glances to a young man tell us who she is blue over. We are then launched into a group dance. The party is pooped by a teacher, who wakes Britney up from the daydream that was her first music video.
