Can we get a change for Jesse Garcia?

Sure. Just reach out to Nice.

I once had this friend who always seemed to have a smile plastered on her face. When we first met, I actually thought she was just a bit off—unhinged, even—but later I realized it was just a mask. It was her way of protecting herself from getting hurt. Honestly, my heart breaks for her because most people would just laugh at her or mock her behind her back. Even now, thinking about it makes me feel terrible. I was always her defender. She was stunning and incredibly sharp, too, but she could never keep a real friend—everyone was just too consumed by jealousy over how she looked. As for guys? They were fine, right up until the moment she turned them down. We stuck together through thick and thin until high school finally pulled us in different directions. I ran into her recently, and she hasn't changed one bit. We don't hang out anymore, though. Oh, and her parents? They’re the type to smile at her even when they’re scolding her. That part actually gave me the chills.
