Jane Rizzoli examined herself in the bathroom mirror for the millionth time. Jane never cared about her appearance before, hell she was forced into plaid dresses and skirts with white button down shirts and loafers, but today was different. Today was the start of her first day of collage at Boston University where she would spend the next four years learning about criminal justice and all things related to crime before going to the Boston Police Academy for six month of training to hopefully become her life long dream since she was ten to become a cop. In the forth grade a police officer talked to Jane's class about what its like to be on the force. All of the kids looked up to him like he was a super hero. That is when Jane made her path she wanted to be a cop, not for the badge or for the gun but for the respect something that she never had. Looking over her pair of blue jeans and red socks t she placed her long curly brown hair in a pony tail and went down stairs to join her family for breakfast. Her family was just like any other family except that they were loud, just like the Italian blood in them. Angela Rizzoli is her loud, over protective mother who wants Jane to be more feminine and have been setting her up on dates since she was twelve. Frank Rizzoli is a simple man who works as a plumber who owns his own business called Rizzoli & Sons, hoping that one of his own sons will join him. Tommy is the middle child who feels like he's caught in between his older sister and little brother who always got there parents attention. Frank Jr., as Jane and mostly every one calls him Frankie, is the youngest of the Rizzoli's and looked up to his big sister and wanted to be a cop but didn't want to be in his sisters shadow. Jane sat down at the table with a bowl of cereal her mother yapping in her ear about her clothes telling her to be more girly.

"Will it kill you to wear a skirt or put on some make up? Honestly Jane you look like a guy." Jane rolled her eyes as her mother continued to yap in her ear about her clothes and how she would never meet a guy and blah, blah, blah. Jane quickly finished up her bowl of cereal, swung her backpack over her shoulder, kissed her family goodbye, and rushed out the door to catch the bus. The campus was every thing Jane wanted, it was small but well spread out, trees and grass areas surrounded a lake. Jane walked over to the many set up tables to gather her schedule and textbook list.

"Would you like me to show you around?" a guy with large biceps and a cocky grin that screamed jock asked. Jane was instantly unimpressed with him, she hated the jock types they thought that they could get any girl that they wanted they made her sick.

"No thank you I'm fine." Jane flashed her commonly used fake smile and tried to cary on but a thick arm stopped her in mid step.

"Come on a newbie you look like a dyke with me at your side you can at least get some and some popularity so come on." this guy had the nerve to place his hand on Jane's shoulder. Jane does not like any physical contact unless she asked for it. Jane took a few deep breaths to keep from taring this guy's head off.

"I will say this only once, please move out of my way so I can get to my class on time." the guy gave Jane an almost evil smirk.

"Make me dyke." Jane took a few more deep breaths before kicking the guy square in the balls. The guy collapsed to his knees hands protectively on his crotch. Jane moved on smiling to herself as she walked to her first class of the day. Not looking at where she was going she ran into another person.

Maura Isles walked to the multiple tables to receive her schedule, as any honor student she already had her textbooks and half of her school supplies. Maura walked behind the tables and toward one of the many large buildings. She looked around taking in the scenery as she went. What stopped her in her tracks was the display between a guy with brown hair and large biceps stood in front of a girl with long dark curly brown hair in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Maura watched the scene unfold before her with the guy touching the girl then she kicking him where it hurt most. Maura was drawn to the brunet, she was fearless and wasn't scared to stick up for herself. Maura was never a very loud person or someone who liked social situations that drawled in attention, when she was little she mostly spent her time alone in her room. Maura was to busy remembering her pass that she didn't notice till it was too late, the person ran into her causing her to stumble back a bit, which is not a good idea in heels, so she lost her balance dropping her anatomy textbook to catch her fall but the person that ran into her wrapped one arm around her waist while the persons other hand grabbed her elbow.

"Are you okay?" the person asked. Maura took in the husky voice that the person had, it was something that she wanted to hear more. Maura looked up at the person who not only bumped into her but saved her from messing up her new dress, her hazel eyes met deep brown ones. Maura's heart skipped several beats and breathing became difficult.

Jane looked into hazel eyes her breathing coming in shallow pants. The girl beneath her was a thing of beauty, long blond hair the curls framing her face perfectly but what got Jane going was her eyes, her beautiful hazel eyes that were the perfect mix of green and brown. Jane tried multiple times before speaking again.

"Hey um are you um pretty no I mean okay, are you okay? It's not that you're not pretty your gorgeous I mean. Damn it Rizzoli get it together." Maura studied the face of her saver before releasing that she was asked a question.

"Yes, I'm fine but this position I'm afraid is causing the blood to leave my limbs." her saviors eyes become panic.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry um here." Jane used the strength in her upper body to lift both of them from their weird position. Maura used her saviors shoulders to steady herself. Jane removed her hand from the blonds elbow and joined her other hand at the blonds waist. Silence fell between the two woman both with the same question on there minds: what now? "So," Jane started wanting the blonds full attention. Maura looked up at the brunet giving a slight nod to say that she was listening. "What's your name? I'm Jane, Jane Rizzoli." Maura ran the name through her head, Jane Rizzoli, Italian, I like it.

"I'm Maura Isles." Jane let out a huge breath.

"Thank god your name is not Brittany or Tiffany or any of those stupid blond names. I'm not calling you stupid though." Maura chuckled lightly.

"I knew what you meant and I know how you feel I went to a school with a lot of unintelligent people." Jane looked around to see if any one was watching them for the sake of the blond not hers. To any one else the two looked like embracing lovers. In her search Jane noticed the abandon textbook on the ground.

"Maura did you droop anything?" Maura shift her gaze from Jade to the ground where her anatomy textbook still laid.

"Oh my gosh thank you I completely forgot about it and school oh my god what time is it?" Maura untangled herself from Jane grabbed her book from the ground and hurried off to redeem some of the time that she lost. Jane watched the blond scamper away faster then she expected from anyone in heels. Jane looked at her watch on her right wrist.

"Fuck." Jane took off in a slightly different direction then the one Maura took sharing the same hopes as the blond.

The rest of the day was brutal for Jane. The door to her first class was locked due to the professors no tolerance for tardiness so Jane spent the next half hour outside of her second class her mind constantly floating back to her short time with Maura. It became so bad that she was almost late to that class. The rest of the day went like that some of her classes mixed in with rudy neighbors. With her day done all she wanted to do was go home and do nothing. Before she could she dropped by the library to pick up her textbooks. Jane walked out of the library textbooks piled high on her arms constricting her view so that she could hardly see, not even the blond that haunted her thoughts all day, nose stuck in her anatomy book. The two collided with a thud books flying in every direction.

"I am so sorry." Jane rushed out in a frantic breath.

"No no it's my fault I wasn't looking where I was going I deeply apologize. " Jane rose an eyebrow at the voice.

"Maura?" Maura looked up from her duty of finding her book and collecting Jane's.

"Jane how are you I hope I didn't cause any damage to your pelvic or tailbone." Jane looked at Maura for a minute before laughing.

"Do you always talk like a robot?" Maura gave Jane a stern look.

"No." Jane was about to apologize but the look on the girl's face stopped her.

"Okay then why do we only meet by collision?" Maura was about to say some scientific explanation but couldn't come up with one.

"I don't know." the two girls gathered there things before standing on their feet. Maura looked at Jane her arms filled with books and felt bad for her.

"Would you like me to help you with those?"

"No, no thank you I'll be okay honestly it's no big deal."

"Are you sure? How are you getting home or do you live in the dorms?"

"I live off campus I take the bus but honestly Maura its fine." to show that she was fine Jane took a few steps but yet again she bumped into a pole three of her textbooks hitting the floor. Maura picked up the books before Jane could.

"Jane it's no big deal I would be delighted to drive you home please?" Jane looked into those hazel eyes and gave up.

"Okay fine you can take me home." Maura's mouth formed a bright smile, a smile that crossedher features on very rare occasions. Jane saw that smile and her heart stopped for a second. The two made there way to Maura's car, Jane trowing her books in the back along with her backpack before taking the passengers seat. Jane gave Maura directions to her house showing the blond when to turn at certain point. Maura stopped the car a few feet away from the house that was already alive with Angela's yelling.

"What now?" Jane covered her face with her hands and banged her head against the head rest. Maura didn't know what to do but she could tell that the brunet was in some sort of distress. Maura decided to give the brunet a helping hand by bringing in her textbooks and backpack. Maura collected Jane's things, taking out Jane's keys from her backpack and walked up to the house. Jane took a few breaths before removing her hands ready to face the world again. The moment she did she saw the blond walking up her driveway to her house, the blond had all of her things meaning that she had her keys. "Fuck." Jane mumbled under her breath, taking the keys out of the ignition and rushed to catch up to the blond. "What do you think your doing?" Jane hissed when she caught up with Maura.

Maura stopped when she heard the tone of Jane's voice. Maura was an expert at telling what a person was feeling by tone of voice so she knew that Jane wasn't mad at her just annoyed but she still felt bad.

"I'm sorry Jane I thought that I was doing something to help you out." Jane's heart shattered when she heard the hurt in the blonds voice.

"Maura I'm so sorry I didn't mean to snap at you it just that I'm embarrassed by my family and that anyone who met them never spoke to me again." Maura made eye contact with the brunet and saw the pain in the brunet's eyes.

"Jane it's okay I wont judge you by your family I'm curious about how different cultural families live." Jane raised an eyebrow at Maura.

"Okay if you say so." Jane said slowly. Maura smiled at Jane before continuing her way to the door this time with Jane at her side. Jane took her keys from Maura, giving the blond back her keys, opening the door letting the smell of her mothers home cooking hit her. Like any gentleman she let Maura in first then herself closing and locking the door behind her. "Ma I'm home!" Jane called out covering the blonds ears with her hands.

"Jane how school!" Jane walked into the kitchen her mother working franticly.

"Fine Ma and stop yelling I'm right here." Angela jumped a mile high when she heard Jane's voice right behind her.

"Jane don't do that." Jane put her hands up in mock surrender. Angela looked at the doorway of the kitchen her eyes meeting Maura dead on. Angela looked over the blond taking note of the large stack of books in the blonds arms and Jane's backpack over one of her shoulders. "Jane Angela Rizzoli how dare you make that poor girl carry your heavy books and backpack." Jane opened her mouth to interject but Maura beat her to it.

"Miss. Rizzoli it's alright Jane didn't ask me to carry her things I did it willingly, Jane looked a little stressed so I helped her out by caring in her things honestly it was no trouble at all."

"Even though you volunteered Jane still should of helped you." Maura was going to protest but Jane stopped her.

"Ma can I take my friend up to my room?"

"Sure but I would like to know her name first."

"Maura, Maura Isles." Maura said with a smile.

"Well Maura it's nice to meet you I'm Jane's mother you can call me Angela." the two exchanged greetings before Jane led Maura up the stairs and to her room. Jane looked around the simple room, with a full bed with blue sheets, a simple dark wood dresser stood a few feet from it. A matching desk had it's own wall. A few pictures sat on top of it but ether than that the room laid bare.

"You can put the books on the desk I don't care what you do with my backpack." Maura set the books down on the desk taking notice of the titles for the first time.

"Are you studying law?"

"Yeah."

"Lawyer?"

"Hell no a bunch of snobby monkey suit wearing scum." Maura rolled her eyes at Jane's comment.

"Then a police officer?"

"Hit the nail on the head." Maura looked up at Jane. Jane was sitting on the window sill one leg dangling off the edge the other propped up knee meeting elbow. Maura made her way over to Jane taking the other side of the window.

"May I ask why?" Jane looked at Maura seeing the curiosity in those pair of hazel eyes that quickly became her favorite pair of eyes in the world.

"Do you really want to know and still like me in the end?"

"Of corse Jane I said I wouldn't judged you."

"I want to be a police officer because I do want to help people but more because I want the respect. A police officer came to my school when I was in the fourth grade everyone looked up to him and that is when I knew what I wanted to do. I was picked on by my class mates just because I was just slightly over weight and then when I lost the weight it was because I was a little tuff around the edges. With being a cop maybe I could finally get that respect I deserve."

"Jane I know how you feel I'm not good with social situations or with people kids made fun of me because I like science and want to dissect things I want to be able to speck for those who can't do that any more."

"You know what's cool about that?"

"What?"

"Well I'm going to be a cop who will have dead bodies there's a chance that you will become a ME so we might work together."

"That is...cool." both had a good laugh Jane knew there was something different about the blond she just didn't know what.

"Maura can I tell you something else?" Jane had never felt so comfortable with someone in her life and she was never one to hide anything so she felt like her new friended needed to know.

"Anything Jane." Jane's palms became sweaty her pulse racing.

"Maura I'm-"

"JANE!" Tommy stood in the middle of Jane's room not caring about the house rule about knocking before entering a room.

"What Tommy I'm with a friend." Jane hissed. Tommy ignored the fact that his sister was annoyed by his presence, he didn't care, but he wanted to see with his own eyes the cute polite blond girl that Jane brought home from his mother.

"Hello lovely I'm Tommy you?" Maura took in Tommy's appearance. He looked like Jane but something felt off about him.

"I'm Maura its nice to meet you." Tommy looked up and down Maura's body taking note of her full breast and long legs. Jane saw how Tommy looked at Maura and rage boiled at the pit of her stomach.

"Tommy unless you have something that is important then leave." Tommy gave his sister an evil grin.

"Why should I?" Jade tried to suppress the anger deep inside her.

"Tommy please I just want to be alone with my friend I give you and your friends the same respect so show me that."

"Fine but I'll be back to get to know you Maura." Tommy stormed out of Jane's room slamming the door behind him. When Tommy left Jade's anger went away completely.

"So what were you going to say Jane?" Maura asked once Tommy was out of sight. Jane took awhile to get her mind back on track. All her fears came back along with the racing pulse and sweaty palms.

"Maura I want you to know that I'm," Jane took a few deep breaths. "I'm a lesbian." Jane converted her eyes away from Maura's to afraid to meet the blonds eyes.

Most people would freak when the person that you just met told you that they are gay but Maura was the exact opposite. Maura was use to the whole lesbian and bisexual scene due to her all girl boarding school and Maura had some stir of feelings for girls but with Jane it was all different the first time there eyes met she felt pulled to the brunet. Looking back to what happened she missed Jane's touch. Maura placed her hands on Jane's and placed Jane's hands on her waist. Jane followed the movements of their hands confused when Maura placed her hands on her waist. Maura moved her hands slowly up Jane's arms leaving room for the brunet to protest at any time but did enjoy the sparks of electricity that almost seem to connect her hands the Jane's arms. Jane looked up at Maura right into those hazel eyes that managed to make her heart beat a hundred time a second. Maura moved closer to Jane shorting the distance between them. Jane had no objections to this actually wanted to be close to someone. The two girls foreheads came together breathing intertwining. Slowly there lips came closer and closer together just centimeters apart.

"I can't do this." Jane whispered. Maura looked at Jane confused did Jane not like her?

"Why not?" Maura tried to keep the hurt out of her voice but failed and it crushed Jane.

"Maura it's not that I don't like I do but I can't kiss you right now at this moment in time I want to but I want our first kiss after our first or second date so..."

"Are you asking me out on a date?" Jane looked down and blushed.

"Yeah I am." Maura smiled and brought Jane into a tight hug.

"Yes Jane I would love to go out with you."

"Seriously?" Maura nodded against Jane's shoulder. Jane just held the blond scared that if she let the blond go everything will disappear.
