So I know that A LOT of people ship Lucaya, and I guess I do after reading some of the fanfics of them, but I also ship Joshaya, so this is a Joshaya story because there really aren't a lot of those.

Please give me feedback so I can make it better for the future. Thanks!

I don't own GMW.

Maya woke up to the blaring sound of her alarm. She checked the clock on her bedside table. 8:30. It was Tuesday, so she had a 9 o'clock lecture in Fletcher Hall. It was her second semester at Misty Copeland University. It was an arts college, which was perfect for Maya because she was not that good at academics, but she was really talented when it came to art. But the best part about MCU was where it was located, New York City. Not only was she near her mother, Katy, and stepfather, Shawn, but all of her best friends went to school in the city, as well as her best friend's parents.

Riley Matthews had been her best friend since before she could even remember. She had always been the kooky, klutzy, good influence on Maya. Growing up, Maya barely spent any at home. All of her time was spent at school, with the Matthews at their house, and her mom's restaurant. She currently attended NYU

Up until high school, Farkle Minkus had been in love with both Riley and Maya. They used to take him for granted until one instance in seventh grade in which they learned just how much he did for them. In high school, he started dating Isadora Smackle, who was once his academic nemesis. They both went to Columbia.

Lucas Friar moved to New York from Texas right before their seventh grade year. Riley had liked him a lot, and they started dating in ninth grade. Maya had always made fun of him, calling him Ranger Rick and Bucky McBoing boing. However, she stopped in eighth grade after she realized how much it hurt. He went to NYU with Riley.

There was one person that Maya could do without having around her, Joshua Matthews, Riley's uncle, uncle boing, and someone she had fantasised over all through middle school and up until her junior year of high school. He started dating Samantha, a girl he went to college with, and she stopped caring. However, she still secretly thought about him every now and them. He went to NYU, but she didn't want to think about him. Any time she saw him where she needed to be, she wouldn't go. She no longer spent the Holidays with the Matthews because Josh was there. Any time he was in her way of getting somewhere on time, she would be late so that she wouldn't have to see him.

When she was 14, she snuck out with Riley to go to a party Josh went to with college girls. That was when he told her that he needed to stop looking at her like a little kid, but he would still tell her that she was too young for him, as he was three years older than her.

Riley always told Maya that she thought Maya still liked Josh because of the way she acted around Josh and when his name was brought up. Maya would always deny it, but some part of her wondered if she was really over him. If she was, why did she feel the need to avoid him so much.

Maya yanked on her green sweater and pulled on her leggings before tugging on her grey socks and Bean Boots. She grabbed a granola bar and left her room as quietly as possible so as to not wake up her roommate. She stopped at the kitchen on her floor to make a cup of coffee and then headed out.

As Maya exited the building, she was greeted by the cold March air. She shivered a little and took a long drink from her warm mug. She could not wait for winter to be over.

She checked her watch to see how much time she had. 8:50. She had to hurry. Fletcher Hall was still a couple block away. She quickened her pace, not looking around her. She aggressively pushed through everyone around her.

She was one block away from Fletcher Hall. She scurried through the crowds. The next thing Maya knew, some boy had bumped into her and made her spill her coffee on herself. Maya did not have to time to deal with this right now, but being her aggressive self, she did anyway.

"Watch where you're going! This is a new sweater and you just ruined it! And I KNOW you do not want to get on my bad side!" She screamed. She didn't care who he was, she just wanted to get him back for making her late and ruining her sweater.

"Believe me, I know. This is not my first time getting in trouble with Maya Hart," he said.

Maya knew that voice. She could tell who it was without thinking. She slowly lifted her gaze from her soiled sweater and started into his icy blue eyes. Of course the guy to bump into her had to be him, Joshua Matthews.
