"Guess who?" a voice asked Jessica, his hands cupped over her eyes.
"Let me guess... Todd Wilkins," Jessica replied in a bored tone.
"Wow, you're on the ball today Liz. Guess what you win?" Todd said, spinning her round playfully.
"I don't know."
"A kiss!"
"Oh joy."
Jessica knew that this would be the time to tell Todd that she was in fact Jessica, but, there had to be some perks to people thinking she was her twin all the time. So she let Todd take her in his arms and kiss her.
"Jessica?" Todd gaped when the kiss ended.
"Yup, got it in one, Wilkins," she answered, smiling secretively. Her secret was that she'd just stolen Todd's cell phone from his pocket.
"Wow. You kiss way better than – I mean, what are you doing dressed as Liz?"
"Oh, man, why can't people just accept that Liz and I are different people? You guys are always comparing us and it's like so unfair. If we were just sisters you wouldn't do that, would you? Huh? No, you wouldn't."
"Chill, Jess. You should be grateful that we only mix you up once every twelve books. I mean, you're identical, right down to the mole on your shoulder – you know, the exact same one as your ancestors Jessamyn and Elisabeth had? Don't you think it's funny that you're clones of them, and your names are nearly clones?"
Jessica left Todd to ramble to himself, and used his phone to call Lila.
"Lila, we have a serious issue here," she said, seriously when Lila picked up.
"What?"
"People keep thinking I'm Liz, just because I'm dressed exactly like her today! How rude is that? I'm my own person, you know what I mean?"
"Yeah, I totally see your point. But the Jessica Wakefield I know wouldn't just stand around moping about it – she'd go out and do something!"
"Well, that's why I called. I'm enlisting your help because you're rich and you're my friend and, well... mainly because you're rich."
