Hi guys! So this story is my take on what Josh and Maya's ending should be. I was a bit disappointed when Girl Meets World ended without an explanation for how their relationship played out, so this is just what I would have liked it to be. Thank you so much for reading! (Disclaimer: I do not own Girl Meets World or any of the characters in it)
Maya was a mess of emotions going into college. She was ecstatic to be pursuing a career in art, yet scared of what the future would hold for her. She longed to be with her friends right now, sitting in the comfort of Topanga's like it was in high school. But no. This was the real world. She had to face the rest of her life head-on and prepared for anything. All of her other friends had already gone to out-of-state colleges, but she'd stayed in New York to attend NYU. Maya didn't mind that she hadn't gone out-of-state, she just wished she could have someone familiar going into the whole college experience with her. As she was looking through a stack of papers with class curriculums and standards that she'd been given on the first day, her wish of meeting a familiar face had come true. Her face was practically buried in her mess of papers when she ran into an old friend.
"Oh excuse me, sorry," the person said. Both of them looked up.
"Oh, um hey Josh," Maya said relieved, once she realized who it was.
"Hey Maya. Whatcha doin' at NYU?"
Maya laughed. "Well, I'll be going here for the next few years of my life. I'm majoring in Art History and I'll see where it takes me."
"Wow, that's so great! I'm really happy for you."
"Thanks Josh. Soo what are you up to? Are you excited to graduate soon?"
"Well yes and no. I was thinking of maybe staying here for a few more years to get a bachelor's degree in science. But then I also want to graduate and find a job, see where life takes me."
"Well whatever decision you make I know will be the right one. If you ever need someone to talk to or anything, I'm here."
"Thank you Maya. I appreciate it. I was actually wondering if you're free on Friday. Would you like to have dinner or something? I can help you out with this whole college thing. I definitely know I could have used someone to help me out. That is, if you're free. If not I totally understand, no pressure at all."
Maya smiled. She knew she'd never really gotten over her crush on Josh, no matter how many times she would try to convince herself otherwise. "Yeah, that actually sounds really great. Does the diner around the corner work? Maybe at like 6?"
"Yeah. That works. Sounds good! I'll see you then." Both turned away heading their opposite ways. Josh stopped. "Hey Maya?"
"Yeah?"
"It was good to see you."
She smiled. "It was good to see you too."
