I do not own Girl Meets World or anything you may recognise.

Hey guys,

I been wanting to write a Joshaya for a while, but I was unsure of what storyline to base it on. When this idea came to mind I couldn't resist writing it. Just so you know Riley and Josh are not related in this story.

Enjoy x

Maya's POV:

I've always hated weddings. The concept of loving someone eternally is ridiculous. Whether it's my broken perspective of marriage, or the fact that I've been to way too many during my childhood, I despise them.

And yet here I am, sitting cross legged at my mother's wedding. I hold my breath as the vows are spoken, almost hoping that one of them will back out. Awful, I know, but to be honest I've never been thrilled that my mom was getting re-married. The last I do is said and I know that this is it. With two single words my whole life has been changed. My mom once Katy Hart is now Katy Cooke. I once a single child now have a step sister. As much as I want to cry, I keep the false smile plastered to my face. Why let my facade slip after all this time?

As my mom steps out the church doors, and into her new life, I can't help but feel like I've been left behind.


I'm exhausted. There's only so many people a girl can dance with in one night. After drinking one too many cups of punch, and trying to keep even more conversations flowing, I just want to go home.

I sit in a nearby chair, happy to finally have a free moment to myself. I watch as the crowds of people move in sync to the slow music, my mom and Calvin in the centre of it all. They look so it love it's repulsive. If you haven't already guessed, I don't believe in love. Shocking, I know. But why put faith into something that's just a myth? The chance of even being truly happy in a relationship is one in a million. Not everybody can be Cory and Topanga.

My peaceful state is ruined when she approaches me. Or better known as Saffron Cooke, my new step sister. She's everything I'm not. Tall, slim, big green eyes with hair flowing down to her waist. In other words she's perfect, appearance wise anyway, maybe not so much personality wise. Her sweet, innocent appearance completely contrasts with her vile character. She hates me with a passion, and is not afraid to show it behind closed doors. As she comes closer, I realise how stunning she looks in her slim fitting dress. Compared to her I look as if I'm surrounded in a lump of material.

My eyes then wonder to the boy next to her. He has possibly the bluest eyes I have ever seen, they capture my attention almost immediately. My heart flutters as his dark hair falls into his eyes, and he pushes it away. A cute smirk plays at his lips when his eyes meet mine. I begin to feel self conscious... wait? what am I saying? Maya Hart never feels self conscious. Especially not for a stupid (slightly cute) guy.

"Hey Maya, great wedding right? I can't believe we're officially sisters!" her voice is so sickeningly sweet it makes me want to barf.

"Yeah..." I trail off "great"

"Where's your date?" She asks. And don't think I missed the evil glint in her eye, I swear she's out to destroy me.

"I don't have one Saffron" I say through gritted teeth.

"Oh... well that's such a shame. I just wanted you to meet my boyfriend Josh"

The cute boy is her boyfriend? My heart suddenly feels like it's sinking.

"Hey, It's nice to finally meet you Maya" He extends a hand and I can't help but notice how amazing his voice is. Urgh get yourself together Maya!

"Nice to meet you too" I reply, shaking his hand. His ocean blue eyes travel to mine and I can feel a blush invading my cheeks.

Saffron coughs loudly, sending me a death glare.

"Well, see you later sister. We're gonna go dance now" I roll my eyes as she drags Josh to the dance floor.

"Who was that, he was pretty cute" I jump as I hear Riley's voice behind me

"Geez, you scared me to death. And that was Saffron's boyfriend Josh" I explain

"At least one good thing came out of this" she teases

"What's that?" I ask

"You'll be seeing a lot more of him"


"Okay girl's, and here is our new home"

Change can be good and bad, right now it's bad. Really bad. My mom and I's perfectly suitable apartment, has now been replaced for a large three bed roomed house. I may sound ungrateful but I loved how things were before my mom married Calvin.

"Okay, so we've put a sign on the door of both of your rooms. Hopefully you'll both be happy with the one you've got" Calvin announces.

I roll my eyes and begin to make my way upstairs until my mom pulls me back.

"I made sure you got the one with the bay window, I knew how much it would mean to you" she tells me.

I can feel a grin spreading across my face, my own bay window? I can't believe it!

"Thanks mom, you're the best"

I find my room, which is already filled with boxes. It may not be the biggest room, but it has all I need. I make my way to the bay window, already thinking of all the conversations Riley and I will have in it. My thoughts are interrupted as I hear my door open.

"Looks like your mom and daddy gave me the biggest room"

"Get out my room Saffron, you have your own"

She looks and my walls and sneers "They didn't even bother to paint your walls. They painted mine pink"

I contain my laughter, knowing that they left them blank because I'd like to paint them myself.

"That's nice Saffron, now can you leave" I say irritated.

"Do you actually think I'd talk to you intentionally? Your mom said it's time for dinner"

I roll my eyes and ignore her. I honestly don't know how I'm going to remain sane with her around.

I hope you guys enjoyed this, it was really fun to write x

Until next time,
