"How can you be best friends with somebody as blah as Eeny Rollins? I don't want you to go over there. Somebody might think it was me talking to her." - Jessica Wakefield, page 18Jessica's thoughts about Liz's lack of enthusiasm at being accepted into the sorority, Pi Beta Alpha:
"No big deal? Elizabeth, how can you say that? How can you even think it? You've got to be seven hundred and thirty-seven kinds of idiots not to be excited about associating with the best girls at Sweet Valley High. What's wrong with you?" - page 34/5Isn't she simply the sweetest girl in the world? (note: Enid was also accepted.)
"You can do whatever you want, Elizabeth Wakefield, but it's just not in my nature to be cold and selfish when it comes to the happiness of a member of my family!" - page 39This as she attempts to steal Todd away from Liz the whole book. Yeah, real selfless of ya, Jess.
"He has got to be the most wonderful boy in a hundred and thirty-seven states!" - Jessica, page 108Uh, she does realize there are only 50, right?
Elizabeth wondered how her sister could possibly descend from cloud nine with Todd Wilkins to the pits of depression so fast and simply because she had to do a little thing like help fix dinner. - page 108I bet a psychologist (or a whole team of them) is the only one that could help you figure that out, Liz. What follows immediately afterward sees Jessica having a complete meltdown. Seriously.
"This family has got to be the biggest bummer in five hundred and thirty-seven cities!" - Jess, page 111
"You selfish little twerp," Steven said, glaring at Jessica. - page 114Hear, hear! Way to go Steve!
"I'll never forgive you, not if I live to be a hundred and thirty-seven years." - Jessica, page 182Aah! Please don't live that long, please. 8O
