\\#54 Two-Boy Weekend;

Jessica: Oh my God I’m so great at everything!

Liz: *silent*

Jessica: Uh, Liz? This is where you’re supposed to jump in and agree with me?

Liz: Golly gee Jess, you sure are swell!

Jessica: That’s better. So did you hear AJ won the essay contest for the Citizen’s Day Ball?

Liz: WHAT??? That motherf*cker! There was an essay contest and I, Liz Wakefield, writer extrodinaire, didn’t win???? I mean, hey good for AJ! What was it about?

Jessica: The topic was Sweet Valley in the year 2000.

Liz: Huh. Well, call this a wild guess, but I predict that a bitchy cheerleader will be spreading rumors about you and ruining your life, I’ll be dating an alcoholic, Enid will be a freakshow, Maria Slater will be back in town, and Andy will struggle with coming out to us. But it’s just a guess.

Jessica: Who’s Andy?

Liz: Beats me.

Jessica: So anyway, AJ will definitely be named king of the Ball, and then he’ll name me queen! Aren’t you so happy for me you could just scream?

Liz: Oh I could scream all right…

-----------------------------------

AJ: Jess, I’m going to Texas for 4 days to visit my family for my grandparents’ 50th anniversary.

Jessica: You rat bastard! How could you leave me alone for 4 whole days?? And what am I supposed to do, go to Ken’s party alone? Not cheat on you? Did you think about this at all?

AJ: Oh Jess, it’ll be okay.

Jessica: Don't you know me? It’s all about me AJ! Well, I guess I should just say have a good time. But I can’t promise I won’t cheat on you.

AJ: Can you try to try?

Jessica: I’ll try to want to try to try.

AJ: I love you Jess!

Jessica: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-----------------------------------

Jessica: Liz, don’t you get bored of going out with the same guy?

Liz: No. But I’m the steady, reliable one who values close relationships.

Jessica: True, plus Jeffrey only has about 4 more books before Todd comes back.

Liz: Shh, the authors haven’t introduced that plot yet!

Jessica: I just feel like AJ and I do the same things over and over.

Liz: Well maybe if you spent some time alone instead of clinging to guys like they're oxygen, you’d appreciate him more.

----------------------------------------

Jessica: Woe is me!

Cara: Shut up Jess, I only see Steven on weekends and when he comes home for random reasons like he has bad allergies.

Amy: Come to the beach with us, it’ll be fun.

Jessica: Fine, but only if you pay tons of attention to me!

Christopher: Hey. You’re hot. How’s it going?

Jessica: Wow. Pleased to do you. I mean pleased to meet you.

Christopher: Want to have dinner tonight?

Jessica: But we only met half a page ago.

Christopher: So?

Jessica: Okay! Why bother starting to get to know people before I date them now?

----------------------------

Liz: So are you coming to the party?

Jessica: Nah. I met someone at the beach and we’re having dinner tonight.

Liz: That’s nice, and not at all vague.

-----------------------------

Christopher: Damn, you’re sexy. Tell me about yourself.

Jessica: I’m Jessica Wakefield, bitch! Besides, it’s what I’m not going to tell you that really matters. Like, for example, that I’m a twin. The fact that you don’t know that is what’ll be crucial later.

Christopher: Want to make out?

Jessica: Duh, it’s been like 4 pages since we’ve met!

Christopher: Hey, let me buy you all the roses, a stuffed animal, and anything else you point to.

Jessica: Gee thanks! That’s not at all suspicious! Can you believe this incredible connection we have?

Christopher: I know, it’s amazing.

Jessica: Unfortunately even though I let you buy me lots of stuff and made out with you a lot, I have a boyfriend and he’s coming home tonight, so bye!

Christopher: Um, okay.

Jessica: Wow! That was easier than I thought!

Christopher: That’s what you think!

Jessica: What did you say?

Christopher: I said get home safe!

---------------------------------

AJ: Hey! Did you miss me?

Jessica: Eh. Kinda. At least for half the time.

Christopher (on the phone): Jessica, this is the first of many phone calls I will make in an effort to stalk you.

Liz: Hey, that guy seems to be following me!

Christopher: Why are you avoiding me?

Liz: Weirdo!

--------------

Jessica: Liz! I did something so awful!

Elizabeth: What else is new?

Jessica: I cheated on AJ this weekend and now the guy is stalking me and he even followed me and pretended to want to buy AJ’s car and I don’t know what to do!

Liz: Tell AJ you dope! But definitely don’t tell Mom or Dad or call the cops to report a stalker who risked your life in AJ’s car.

Jessica: But if I tell AJ I won’t get to be the queen of the Citizen’s Day Ball! I mean, the crown and sash are worth a little stalking, right?

Liz: My God you’re a moron sometimes! Could you be anymore shallow?

Jessica: Ummm…nope!

------------------------------------

Christopher (on the phone): Jess, go out with me Saturday or ELSE!!!

Jessica: Yeah sure sounds great.

Christopher: YES!!!!

Jessica: Oh crap Christopher I think I have strep throat.

Christopher: I understand.

Jessica: That should put the increasingly persistent stalker in his place!

-----------------------------------

AJ: Jess, you look sensational.

Jessica: I know.

Christopher: Mind if I cut in?

Jeffrey: I guess not.

Christopher: So I see you’re feeling better.

Liz: Oh my gosh, this psycho thinks I’m Jessica! Well I can play along for a few minutes, till after she’s crowned queen. Then this whole mess will be over.

Christopher: Get in my trunk, you whore!

Liz: Man, kidnapped again? Yikes! You’d think I’d learn that nothing good can come from protecting Jessica from the consequences of her actions.

Jessica: AJ, I can’t do this. I cheated on you and I can’t have a steady boyfriend. I’m too much of a slut to appreciate real love.

AJ: You’re so noble! Be my queen anyway.

Jessica: Of course!

Jeffrey: Come quick, some psycho’s got a knife to Liz!

Christopher: You’re mine now!

Jeffrey: Get off her!

Liz: Jeffrey! You totally knocked him out!

Jeffery: Remember that in case any exes of yours ever show up and you think of leaving me, okay?

Liz: Wow! That’s sure specific!

Jessica: So I guess everything ends well for me. I learned nothing but still came up smelling like roses!

-----------------------------------

Lila: Hey Jess, go torment Shelley.

Jessica: Hey Shelley, are you going to the dance?

Shelley: Probably not.

Jessica: Hahaha it’s funny because she’s tall and awkward.

Amy: Seriously Jess, after the bullet you just dodged, you’d think you’d be a little more considerate.

Jessica: Consider-what? Have I heard that word before?
