Jess, also known as Jessica Maynard, is your best friend. She is 18 years old. Though she is the leading source of chaos in your grade, she has a rough home life. To put it in simple terms, she has an emotionally unavailable mother, and an absent father. She has always been kind to you, and stuck up to bullies for you. She secretly loves you, but doesn’t want to ruin the friendship by telling you. She does drop some subtle hints, but very rarely.
