Hello! I had a little muse earlier. I thought I might write a little Rizzles fic! I haven't done one before but I hope this isn't too dreadfully awful... :) Granted it's v. AU but oh well... (This is set in 2004 so I realize the technology is a little too advanced so just roll with it :) I also realize that they were not 10 in 2004).
Disclaimer: I don't own nuffink :'(
The world in front of her was bleak and grey. The houses on the street went on as far as she could see, and a dense fog hung low.
It was cold and Jane was tired, she dragged her little sneaker clad feet along the floor with her backpack slung low over her shoulder. Her face was stained with tears and her long dark hair was tangled and stuck to her face. She had a rainbow bracelet tied round her little wrist. With the other hand she grabbed the bracelet and gave it a yank the cotton pulled taunt but didn't break, she tugged the bracelet again and winced as she saw the skin around it go white and again a she saw the blood rush back. She gave up trying to remove the bracelet, what was the use anyway, it had already been seen and just because she removed the bracelet it wouldn't stop the bullies and the taunting. Jane reached the front door and stood on her tiptoes to reach the doorbell, after a few seconds her mother opened the door.
"Mama!" Jane ran at her mother and wrapped her little arms around her ma. Angela picked the little girl up and bundled her into her arms.
"Janie, what's wrong sweetie?" Angela's voice was full of concern for her little girl. What had made her baby so upset? Then she clocked the tatty bracelet on her wrist and everything clicked into place. Her poor baby girl, though she wasn't really a baby any more was she. Her little baby was growing up, her mind in turmoil at the young age of 10. Her Janie looked young for her age, she was shorter than most girls her age, she was thin and despite the amount of sport she did showed no sign of muscle. She loved her baby girl she really did, but sometimes she wished she could just be a normal 10 year old girl. It was partly her fault she supposed, if Angela hadn't divorced Janie's father then she would have more time to talk things through with her little girl, but, being a single mother of three whilst juggling a job meant she had no time for heart to hearts with her baby anymore. She wasn't angry, she could never truly be angry at her baby girl she just wished that Janie was just another ignorant ten year old.
"Ma! The girls at school pick on me… They hate me!" Jane buried her head in her ma's shoulder, her body wracked with sobs and she clung to her mother like her life depended on it. Why did she have to be weird? Why couldn't she be normal like the other girls?
"Shhhh… Sweetie, it's going to be okay. Everything is going to be fine. It's the last day of school tomorrow, you get through that and then we'll have a nice stay up late and have cuddles, films and hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. Okay?" Jane gave a sniff and nodded her head, she jumped down from her mother and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you ma!"
"I love you too sweetie. I love you so, so much!" Angela gave her baby a hug and a kiss on the cheek, "You go up to your room baby, and I'll call you for dinner okay?"
"Thank you ma!" Jane felt much happier and ran upstairs with a little spring in her step. She passed her youngest bothers room on the way up and poked her head though the door and blew him a kiss. The little boy was asleep and she didn't want to wake him, so she closed the door gently and ran to her own room. Jane loved her room, with its powder blue walls and white bed with a Boston Red Sox bedding. Jane loved the Red Sox, she grabbed the Jersey she had on her bed and chucked it on top of her clothes. She lay on her bed and stared at the hockey sticks on the wall, after a few minutes of thought about nothing much she grabbed her laptop off her bedside table and switched it on. She watched the screen boot up and when it had she opened up a new web page. She wouldn't listen to those horrible girls, she didn't need them.
Jane logged on to one of her favourite gaming sites and opened a chatroom.

DissectingMauraIsles: Wow! You're really good. Your reflexes are so fast they're practically Autonomic.
RedSoxRacer: Hahahha… Thanks, I think… ;)
DissectingMauraIsles: You're welcome. I hope you feel better now :) Since it is scientifically proven that social support helps to increase happiness.
RedSoxRacer: I feel a lot better thanks, and I learnt something new! How old are you? Because you sound clever…
DissectingMauraIsles: I'm eleven years old, how old are you?
RedSoxRacer: Wow really! I'm ten.
DissectingMauraIsles: Cool. So, Jane, why were you sad, if you don't mind me asking such a personal question?
RedSoxRacer: Well, it was nothing really… it's just that, some of the girls at school bully me, and today was just a bad day, but, I suppose it's my own fault.
DissectingMauraIsles: It's not your fault that other girls are horrible! And, if it's any constellation the people at school call me Maura the Bora.
RedSoxRacer: Hehehe… Thanks. You don't sound boring to me, I think it's pretty neat that someone your age knows cool facts. :) Also "Maura the Bora"… That's a rubbish name anyway, these people clearly have no brains!
DissectingMauraIsles: Aww, you're nice Jane :)
RedSoxRacer: Hehehe, you're nice too Maura :)
"Janie sweetie, its dinner time!" Jane's ma called upstairs.
"Okay, I'm coming ma!" Jane was about to just close the chatroom when suddenly she had a thought
RedSoxRacer: Maura…
DissectingMauraIsles: Yes Jane…
RedSoxRacer: I have to go now, but, maybe we could race again tomorrow? Same time?
Jane waited for a reply.
