Alright, I just want to make a small rant in defense of Jessica's character because it seems to me that Jessica's alleged "shallowness" and "fake friendships" seem pretty blown out of proportions.

First off, she was NICE to Bella when she first moved to Forks. Sure, she's a chatterbox but so are lots of people, being a chatterbox doens't mean you're a highly-dangerous psychopath. She sat with her and chatted with her even though she knew the person she had a crush on (Mike) liked Bella and even started to make passes at her (she could do better than that).

Sure she was jealous of Bella with all the attention but plenty of people could get jealous too. It's pretty normal considering the circumstances. I mean, when you're down on your luck, don't you get jealous of the guy who got straight A's or the hot girl every guy has a crush on?

Secondly, her behaviour is not at fault in New Moon. I mean, Bella called over a bunch of scary guys who could've been rapists for all they knew. Bella wasn't just putting herself in danger, she was putting Jessica's life in danger. If that happened to me, I would've tried to stay clear of that "friend" and called up the police or something but Jessica tried to forgive her.

Thirdly, Bella went into a comatose like state in New Moon and Jessica still agreed to go on an outing with her. So after that debacle, of course she would have her doubts about becoming friends with Bella again! What kind of person would just automatically start becoming besties with a person who put her life in danger but claims to be good again when her boyfriend shows up? And even when Jessica DOES try to forgive Bella, Bella doens't exactly seem interested in Jessica at all nor does she even try.

Fourthly, Jessica is said to be fake because she's into makeup, clothes and boys....same things Alice are into. Great logic there. It's normal for people to be into that kind of stuff and Jessica could be interested in other things as well. She's valedvictorian for one thing so that proves she has interests elsewhere. Also, she's said to have no loyalty towards her friends but I see her being friendly to everyone and there wasn't any news of her betraying or backstabbing Angela, was there?

And the "disturbing" dreams about her crush on Edward. Please people, Bella wanted to have sex with him. I think that there are plenty of people over here who's had dreams about their crush and would be mortified to have their crush know about it.
