Jessica Carter, a failing student

(Jessica POV)

Jessica Carter was on her way home from work at the local supermarket. She liked to drive on this road along the ocean, it cleared her mind. It allowed her to forget about the lawyer exam she'd lost. It allowed her to forget her parents telling her to get a real job instead of preparing to retake an exam they said she'd never get. It allowed her to forget the look of disappointment her father had given her when she told him the news. Anyway, it was Friday evening, not the time to mope. She'd planned to go out clubbing and meet up with friends. Who knows? Maybe this time she'd find a man who was up to her standards.

She decided to dress simply for a change of T-shirt and black pants.

She looked at herself in the mirror, striking different poses until she was satisfied. She took the keys to her car and started the engine. Faced with the Friday night traffic jams, she decided to take the mountain road, which would add 20 minutes to her journey, but at least it would be less crowded. She drove quickly, following the tight curves of the small road. Suddenly she received a call on her mobile, which she put to her ear with one hand.

So where are you, Jessica? You're the only one missing. It was her friend Mary who, as usual, still hadn't understood that a party always starts at least 15 minutes late.

I'll be there soon. I'll be there in 10 minutes. I'm speeding up. Which she did immediately, even if it meant being on an empty road, she thought. Suddenly, as she rounded a bend, a deer appeared on the road. Jessica didn't think twice and turned the wheel. Straight for the precipice. It was impossible to brake in time. The car was going much too fast. At least at this speed, **** would surely be instantaneous, she thought. She closed her eyes and waited for the impact. The car tumbled down several dozen meters. What particularly surprised the detectives and firemen arriving on the scene was the total absence of bodies in the car.

Her name is Jessica Carter.

As before, a young woman appeared before them. The strange thing was that she was closing her eyes, clenching her teeth, and clenching her fists quite intensely. What had she been doing when she was teleported?

I'm happy to welcome Jessica here, because she's probably the only one of you who's glad I teleported her here. Now, Jessica, if you could do us the pleasure of opening your eyes, you're no longer in your car.

Hearing someone talking around her, Jessica opened one eye, then the other, before looking to see where she was and asking the most normal question of all.

Am I dead?

Nola laughed at this statement. When she had regained her composure, she answered.

_No, Jessica, you're alive and well. We beamed you up as the car fell. We thought you'd appreciate our sense of timing. And under the circumstances you wouldn't blame us for bringing you to this wonderful show. Now please introduce yourself to the audience who don't know you. Who are you? What do you do? What's your relationship with the master? What are your sexual experiences? _Nola ordered.

Jessica looked at her as if she didn't understand what she had just been told. Nola sighed, then Jessica began to spout the information requested.

Hello, my name is Jessica Carter. I'm a law student. I don't know this person. And I've already had about ten relationships where we slept together before I dumped them.

There was silence for a moment, showing how different she was from the rest of the people present.

I'm a bit disappointed by that answer. Given your profile, I'd have expected juicier details. As for the question who's the teacher, you know him, you were in the same class in primary school until he moved away. He even confessed to being in love with you. Nola commented.

Because you really think I remember every guy who tells me they're in love with me. I have standards. I'm not a cheap hooker. Now that that's out of the way, I'm leaving. Harangued Jessica.

Unless you want to be sent back to the exact time and place you were teleported, I suggest you go and sit in silence with the other candidates while we welcome the last contestants. Nola replied.

Jessica seemed to hesitate but ended up sitting down with the others.

Thank you, now let's welcome our fifth contestant, ...
