Jessica

Jessica has a secret. She’s a kleptomaniac. It all started when she accidentally stole a ring from a clothing store. She had tried it on and forgot to take it off before she left, and when she got home she realized what she had done. At first she felt extremely guilty, she had never done anything like this before, but as she looked at the silver band in her hand, she was filled with a twinge of excitement. Jessica had never done anything so wild in her life, and she liked it. After all she hadn’t hurt anyone had she? And 45 dollars for a cheap accessory is a bit overpriced, so why should she feel bad at all?
So she went back to the store, this time slipping a bracelet over her wrist, and making sure to carefully tear the price tag off of it. As she walked past the high security doors, she was filled with an adrenaline rush, knowing now that she was stealing for the first time intentionally. And she felt even more excited than before.
Jessica has the best wardrobe and accessories of all her friends. Sometimes they wonder how she manages to pay for college and shop at all the name brand boutiques, but she just tells them she has a very rich aunt. Standing on the El she grips tightly to her bag, because god knows it would be terrible if someone stole from her.
