Here's what you do.... you tell her...
"listen Jessica... I have something very important to tell you... more important than that bulletin on Myspace..."
then you lean in to whisper to her... and after she leans in..
you smack her in the face and say...
"don't make me have to do this to you again..."
and from then on... everytime she comes near you... you threaten her with a backhand in the air...

When you're not in school and you're just out with Jessica (or on the phone) just calmly say to her, "I really need to pay attention in class because I'm noticing I'm not getting some of the stuff as well as I should be these days. Would you do me a favor and just wait until after class to talk. You may not understand why I can't be dealing with other stuff during class, but its important to me." Add, "I don't ask much from you as a friend, but I'm asking you to do this one little thing and just pretend I'm not there. If my parents find out this is why I'm having trouble paying attention they're going to make a big thing out of it with the teacher."
Explain it the way you'd explain that you have to buy some new shoes. Don't do the "snooty, self-righteous thing" because that could get her "inspired" to keep doing it just to irk you. There's something about the "snooty, self-righteous thing" that just makes stuff worse. See if things improve. If she slips up a tiny bit but not much give her a little break. She may have to get used to not talking to you in class, and she may actually forget occasionally in the beginning. You'll be able to tell if she listened to you or not even if she makes a tiny slip-up in the beginning.
If you try calmy telling her, and that doesn't work send your guidance counselor a discreet e.mail and tell him/her that's is getting to be a problem and you don't want to lose your friend but need someone to do something. Ask if they can do something "behind the scenes" to improve the situation, and don't be surprised if your teacher just decides to move your seat because she/he thinks "the sun coming in the window is making it hard for you to see the work". Just make it clear to the guidance counselor you don't want your friend to know you "told".

Have a nice talk with your friend about it. Possibly you could tell her, "You know, I really have to focus on my studies while we are in class, but we will definitely discuss these things after class or if the teacher gives us some free time."
If there is assigned seating in the class, you could just have a frank talk with your teacher, and tell her that Jessica is your friend, but you'd like to keep both out of trouble, and ask that she could reassign your seating so she wouldn't be sitting with you, to help keep both of you out of trouble.

Tell her you're in school to learn. And that you'll answer her questions after class. If that doesn't work tell the teacher. But I don't think you want to get her in trouble. So just tell her.

Don't sit next to her in class and also when you have time, talk to her about her behavior. If she is really your friend, she will understand.
