After my Freshman year I had a 4.3 GPA. After my Sophomore year I had a 3.9 GPA. After my Junior year, I went back up to a 4.0 or a 4.1. I'm in all Honors classes (and one AP class), but I sometimes make as low as an 87 in classes like Chemistry Honors and Pre Calculus Honors. My GPA is fine, and I don't think I'll have a problem getting into a good college.
Your GPA is weighted by the class's difficulty level. If you get an 86 in a regular class, that's like a 3.0, but if it's Honors it's a higher GPA and if it's AP, it's even higher. Colleges look at difficulty levels when taking your grade point average into consideration.
You can also get involved in sports and/or extracurricular activities/clubs/community service, and colleges think highly of that as well. You want to come off as not only book smart, but as a well rounded individual.
Just listen in class, take notes, do your homework, study for quizzes/tests, and ask questions when you don't understand something. You'll do fine, and colleges will know how hard you worked.

Yeah, you can.

Yes, colleges look at not only your grades but also the difficulty of the classes [honours, AP classes]. You can still get into a good college, especially if you continue to take advanced classes, do community service, do well on SATs/ACTs, other things like that. Plus you're only a freshman, so you don't have to worry about college for a few more years.
