Maya was on her own once she landed in New York.

She didn't have Shawn or her mother, and considering Riley had somehow become a stranger throughout these past years…she was entirely alone.

Maya exhaled slowly, closing her eyes and leaning her head back in the seat of the plane.

She sat next to an older man who had been napping the entire flight almost. He was awake long enough to put his earbuds in, and then he was out.

Maya was so nervous, she couldn't stop fidgeting.

She brought a couple books with her because she planned on drowning out her thoughts during this flight, but she was so nervous she couldn't focus.

She was now a student of NYU and NYU was where Josh was.

She tried to keep him buried in her former life before L.A. but it never worked.

The part of her that tried to forget him was the part that was tired of being hurt because he had been indecisive about his feelings.

The other part craved him, she missed him so much.

"Attention passengers, we will be arriving in Manhattan in thirty minutes." She was flying into LGA, which was almost directly in Manhattan.

NYU's campus was spread out throughout NY, which may make this avoiding Josh thing easier.

The Art Program was held in the midtown Manhattan campus.

Last Maya remembered, Josh's friend Andrew stayed in one of the residence halls near that particular campus.

But that was nearly four years ago….doesn't mean he's still there.

Maya walked through the terminal; she didn't really need to be in a rush considering no one was waiting on her, but she hated airports, she was exhausted, and wanted to be out of there as quickly as possible.

A cab would be hard enough to chase down. Her thoughts raced, stopping on the one about her actually attending NYU.

"Over 40,000 students attend NYU Maya, you could go to the next three years without running into him. " She told herself.

She looked at her watch; it was nearly 2 in the afternoon.

She had already talked to the faculty in the administrative office. Her first class wasn't until 8 a.m. tomorrow….that gave her the rest of the day to settle in her dorm, and figure out what was where on campus.

The cab pulled up in front of NYU's infamous entrance.

She watched all the students hustling along, some hand an arm full of books, others sat on the benches drinking coffee and studying.

She wasn't sure how well she'd fit in here, but she was here now…so going back home to her mother and Shawn in L.A. wasn't really on her list of options.

Maya took a deep breath, stepping out of the cab.

She walked onto the sidewalk pulling out the slip from her messenger bag that provided all the information she needed.

Her residence number was; 201 Brittany Hall and the slip even had a map of the Campus. How convenient.

"Here goes nothing." Maya muttered, trying to decipher the map.

She headed in the direction of her residence hall, which was only about a 5-10 minute walk from where she was.

Naturally she was in a residence with first years. Whether that was first year freshman or first year transfers it all ran together.

I wonder if Josh is staying in one of the residence halls or if he's been staying with the Matthews…Maya closed her eyes, mentally slapping herself on the wrist for thinking about Josh.

Heading up the stairs of her new home…she tapped on the door of 201 gently.

A cheeky brunette with big hazel eyes opened it up.

"You must be Maya, hi roomie!" She said sweetly.

Maya raised her eyebrows at how surprisingly bubbly this girl was.

"Um…thanks." She said, smiling uncomfortably.

The girl took Maya by the hand leading her in.

"That side is yours, I was going to put a big welcome poster up above your bed but I figured that would be sort of like an intrusion, it's your area…you make it how you want it." The girl folded her hands, sitting on the edge of her twin bed.

Maya smiled, this time it was a genuine one because she decided she may actually grow to like this girl a lot.

"What's your name?" She asked the brunette.

The girl stood up, extending her hand out to Maya. "Veronica, but everyone calls me Ronny for short."

Maya nodded, taking the girls hand. "Ronny it is, nice to meet you."

Ronny smiled and Maya noticed that her facial features along with her height made her look rather impish, but in a cute way.

"I'm headed out later on with some friends if you'd like to join." The invitation was open, and it was nice of Ronny to invite her considering she barely knew her, this girl seemed genuine…and Maya couldn't help but feel bad for being too tired to do much of anything.

Maya shook her head. "Sorry Ronny, jetlag's really hitting me."

Ronny understood, but Maya wasn't surprised because she seemed like that type.

Maya had enough energy to put her bed together, and that was it.

She plopped down…staring up at the ceiling and listened to Ronny talk to her from the bathroom while she did her makeup about anything and everything Maya needed to experience while at NYU.

Maya was so exhausted; Ronny gave her a very surprising hug before heading for the door.

"This is going to be a good year, Maya." She said before leaving Maya to her own devices.

Maya laid there for several minutes, the same thought circling her mind.

She grabbed her iPhone from the small nightstand next to her bed and opened up her contact list.

She scrolled to the J's and opened up a new message tab.

I transferred to NYU. That was all it read.

Her index finger, with her hot pink fingernail polish hovered over the send button before she closed out of the message, deciding against it.

She wasn't even sure if that was still his number, and even if it was texting him was a bad idea.

"It took you four years to get over him, let's keep it that way." She said to herself.

Maya's eyes grew heavy, and as she drifted off to sleep a voice in the back of her mind whispered; "Don't lie to yourself, you've never moved on from him…maybe there's a reason why?"

Ronny walked into West 3rd Common a little after 8.

The rest of the group waved in her direction, trying to get her attention.

She saw them sitting in the corner booth with a bucket full of beer.

"Hey V! Took you long enough." Ronny's best friend Ashton screamed giving the girl a tight hug.

Brandon came up from behind Ashton with a beer in his hand, joining in on the hug.

The fourth member of their group remained in the booth, focused on the T.V.

It was early September, which made it clear to Ronny that the distraction was football.

She slid into the booth next to him.

"Hey Joshy, what's the game looking like?" She smiled giving him a half hug.

Joshua Matthews took another sip of his Miller chill.

"Complete shit." He smirked, looking over at Ronny. "What took you so long? We were starting to think you bailed."

Ronny grabbed the Miller chill from Josh and took a sip. "I got a new roommate today, she seems pretty cool. I tried to get her to come out so she could meet all of you, but she just flew in today and that jetlag had her exhausted. She was half way out before I left."

Josh furrowed his brows, his eyes glued to the game again. "I didn't know you were getting a roommate. Where's she from? Is she hot? Details R."

Ronny laughed, taking another swig of Josh's beer.

"I didn't know I was getting a roommate until about two days ago. You know how bad housing is with informing us when it comes to this stuff. I don't think she told me where she's from, and I think she's pretty, yes." Ronny answered all of Josh's questions in order.

"You'll have to introduce me soon." He said right as the Pittsburgh Steelers made a touchdown and Josh jumped out of his seat almost knocking his beer over. Ronny caught the beer just in time, looking up at Josh and shaking her head.

A/N: Not sure if I can include mild profanity and alcohol in a story I rated T. Someone please let me know if I need to change my rating. Also, I' not sure how recurring Ashton and Brandon are gonna be. Still trying to completely figure out if they're significant enough for more than just being part of the click with Josh and Ronny. Anyway! I hope you all enjoyed! Reviews make me happy along with new followers and knowing my story made your list of favorites
