Jane's POV
This is so stupid. I just want to get out of this house. They won't shut up. I try to block out the screaming by covering my ears, but that doesn't work. They're arguing…again. There isn't a minute that goes by where they aren't fighting. Sometimes I don't hear anything for a second, then my ears will register the sound of a slap. Dad hit Ma. That only happened three times. Right now they are just fighting with words.
I look over at the window, then I look over at my skateboard. Smiling I get up from my bed, grab my skateboard and start walking toward the window. I look toward my bedroom door. This is what I do every Friday. Somethings just never end.
I look out at the tree standing outside my window. Without having to think I jump onto it, making sure I don't make any noises, I climb down the tree.
It didn't take me long to feel the wet, green grass come in contact with my worn out Convereses. As soon as I was well secure on the ground I made my way toward the sidewalk. Laying the skateboard on its wheels, I put one foot on top and push with the other. On my way to the skatepark.
Maura's POV
Well, my parents are out of town today. I'm sort of used to it. My babysitter is taking care of me. She is so sweet and very pretty. Her name is Jennifer, but I call her Jen, and she's twenty-one. I'd rather have my parents here, but since they aren't, I'm glad Jen is.
I'm on my very large, pink bed, reading my science book, when I hear a knock on my closed bedroom door. "Who is it?" I call out.
"Jen, can I come in?" I heard her reply.
"Um, of course. Last time I checked you were my babysitter." I answer.
Looking at the door when it opens, Jen comes tip toeing in. Like any other day she is dressed in very short jean shorts and a black shirt that has her favorite bands name on it, Hunter Valentine. It showed her belly button, that of course had a piercing in it. She also had on her shabby looking hightops. Just to let you know she does not dress like this when my parents are around….which is never.
Jen walks toward my bed and sits down. She isn't talking. Which is weird, she talks like nonstop. I show her that I'm confused by making the face I do when she says something about Hunter Valentine. She knows I'm confused so she starts talking.
"So, whatcha doin? Is that a new science book?"
I shake my head, the confusion not leaving my face.
Jen nods like she knew it was a stupid question anyway. I never buy new science books because Mother bought this for me on my fifth birthday.
"Jen?" I ask.
"Yes?"
"Whats wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Then why are you so quiet all of the sudden?"
She sighs, she probably needs to get something off her chest. "I need to go to the skatepark."
I look at her, "But whose going to watch me?"
She sighs again, this time very frustrated, "That's what I wanted to ask you. Will you come with me? I only need to go for a second."
Since I was laying on my stomach, I come to sit on the edge of my bed. "Why do you have to go?"
Jen rolls her eyes, "Why is that important? Just come with me, please?"
I sigh this time, nodding, I say, "Alright let me get ready."
Jen kisses me on the cheek, "Thank you."
Jen makes her way out. I turn to my dresser. What should I wear…..?
Jane's POV
After fifteen minutes, I open the black, steel gate that led you into the skatepark. I look around and see my buds. Frosty and Mr.K, just so you know, that's not their real names. I call Barry, Frosty, because his last name is Frost. I call Vince, Mr.K, because his last name is Korsak. Simple enough.
Anyway, as I start making my way over , Mr.K starts waving but Frosty hasn't even noticed me. He's staring at something, so I follow his eyes. As soon as I set eyes on this glorious site, I think China heard my jaw drop.
I can see a beautiful blonde sitting on the bench outside the skatepark gates, reading a science book. I think she feels my eyes on her cause she looks up and throws a friendly smile at me. She waves and I wave back, but I don't look away. She just goes back to reading.
A slap on my back brings this fabulous moment to an end. Joey. He isn't looking at me, but he was staring at a certain blonde. I don't know why but he had a smug grin on his face.
I don't even have to ask, he starts talking, "She is all mine Rizzoli. I call her."
I scoff, "I bet you ten bucks she says no when you ask her out."
Joey nods slowly, "If she says no, you have to ask her out."
I smile, sticking my hand out, I say, "Lead the way."
Joey shakes his head, but he starts walking toward the unknown blonde. I see him talking to her with a grin on his face. I look over at her and try holding in a laugh, because her smile was clearly fake.
After a couple of minutes, I could see this girl has been suffering enough. So I decide to go save her. Rizzoli Charm, activated.
I swagger over there, yes, swagger. Rizzolis don't walk they swagger. I open the gate and stand right in front of the girl. I lean on the outside of the gate and smile at her. She smiles back, forgeting all about Joey.
I point at him, still making eye contact with the blonde, "Is this boy bothering you?"
The girl nods slowly.
I look at Joey, "Come on, man. Leave the girl alone." The mocking grin on my face doesn't leave.
Joey turns around to walk away, muttering, "Whatever."
I look at the blonde, "Jane Rizzoli. What's your name?"
