Stolen Smiles

A/N:This is for Average Everyday Insane Psycho who requested a Jane/Markko fic a few weeks ago. TwoShot

Markko Rivera let out a sigh as he walked into the school,swinging his bookbag a bit. He couldn't believe that his parents had decided to move here. So now Markko found himself away from his girlfriends,and his friends and everything he knew because all of that was back in Llanview. His eyes roved over the girls who laughed and walked through the halls sadly. None of them were Langston Wilde. None of them came close to his wild but sweet girlfriend that he'd had to leave.

He wasn't paying attention to where he was going and ended up running into someone. He looked down and saw a girl with raven colored hair which was pulled into a ponytail and who wore a blue and yellow football jersey and a pair of worn,black jeans. "Sorry." He said to her apologetically as he bent to hand her the books that had fell to the floor.

The mystery girl gave him a tiny smile and shrugged one shoulder. "It was an accident." She said. Then she began to study him carefully. He was interesting looking to say the least and rather attractive. She shook that thought off. She'd just broken up with Spinner a few weeks ago. She couldn't deal with a relationship now. Especially not after what she'd found out about her past. "Anyway,I'm Jane Vaughn. Are you new here? She asked of him as she shook his hand carefully.

He nodded. "Yeah. My dad got a job here. My name is Markko Rivera."

Jane grinned. "You sound American." She commented lightly.

He grinned,showing of his white teeth. "I'm from Llanview." He told her as he walked with her. She was very interesting to him,she kind of reminded him of Langston.

"So do you have your schedule?" She asked him,looking up into his pretty brown eyes.

Markko nodded and handed his schedule to her.

Jane grinned. "We share all our classes together." She told him in surprise. "That's a good thing. I can introduce you to my friends,but I won't be in last period. I have a football game."

He looked at her with wide,shocked eyes. "Your a football player?" He asked in disbelief. Sure, she was wearing a Jersey but he'd figured that it was her boyfriend's or her brother's.

She nodded with a laugh. "I get that alot. The hint of disbelief,I mean. Most people can't believe that a girl would play football. But I love it and I am pretty good at it too." She bragged.

Markko laughed with her,feeling happy for the first time since his move.

At lunch,Jane introduced him to a number of people---even some niners named Clare,KC,Connor and Alli and some of her friends on the football team.

The next day,Markko went home with Jane to meet her mother,her niece Isabella and her brother. She'd introduced him to all of her friends yesterday and now wanted to introduce her new found friend to the three most important people in her life.

She was nervous though. What would Lucas think of Markko? He'd been so protective of her since he'd found out what their father had done to Jane when she was just a little girl.

Lucas sat on the floor with Izzy sitting in his lap as they played some video game together. The little girl was laughing with delight and Jane and Lucas' mother was in the kitchen fixing dinner. Jane certainly hoped that her mother wasn't going overboard.

"Auntie Janie!" Isabella squealed when she looked over and saw her aunt standing there with some boy. She jumped from her father's lap and wrapped her arms around Jane's legs.

Jane winced a little at Bella's nickname for her,it was so clothes to what her father called her---Janie Bear. She bent to pick the squirming little girl up into her arms,pressing a kiss to the child's plump cheek. "Hi Bella! This is Markko. He's a friend from school." She said,moving her arms so Isabella and Markko were face to face.

Markko smiled at the adorable little girl before turning to Lucas,who'd just walked over.

"Jane mentioned you yesterday." Lucas said simply as he shook Markko's outstretched hand. "I'm Lucas. That's my daughter Bella."

Markko grinned nervously. "She told me about you. I'm Markko."

Lucas laughed a little. "I know who you are." He said as he glanced at his sister. He could see the smile that danced in her eyes and had to smile himself.
