Girl Meets Talent Chapter 5, a girl meets world fanfic

Thank you for the positive reviews on my last chapters! I will try to make the chapters longer from now.

Maya's POV

"You're just in time!" Riley says happily, as I climb into the bay window.

"For what..?" I ask since Riley didn't tell me we were doing anything.

"Well, I just found a new song for you to sing, and later on we're going to Farkle's, because he's got a hall with a stage in where we can practise, and Lucas said he'd come too, and Zay's gonna be there, and so is Smackle." Riley explains.

"Cool. So what's the song?" I ask.

"It's this one all about starting over." Riley replies.

We listen to the song, which reminds me of how I wish I could start over with Josh. I don't mention that to Riley, but she knows anyway, or at least, I think she does.

Later on, at Farkle's house (Which is so big that we got lost, and ended up in the ice skating rink instead of the stage room) we all start practising, and by the end, we are ready for Friday, and we decide that we'll hang out at Farkle's house for the rest of the day, and I ask Riley if I can sleep over at her house for the night, and she says yes, so when it gets late, we head home.

Later in the evening

"Remember a few months ago, when you wanted to pretend to sleep over, and sneak out to the college party instead?" Riley asks.

"Yeah, of course I do."

"Do you think that those college girls did steal him?" Riley wants to know, and I obviously know that 'him' means Josh.

"Of course they would like him, he's great. He must like them too. He likes them so much that he doesn't visit his family on New Year's, and instead goes to a party that some of his friends, or possibly his girlfriend is throwing." I say, slightly bitterly.

"You don't know that he went to a party for sure, or that he has a girlfriend." Riley says.

"What else would he do?" I ask.

"Ok, fine, I see you're point. But does that mean that you've given up on him?"

"No, I haven't. I'm still in it for the long game. I still don't think I'm too young. And you're the one that tells me to always have hope, Riles." I say.

Josh's POV

"I'm so glad you decided to come to the final, Josh! It's going to be amazing." Rosie says happily.

"Yeah, well, my niece did offer me tickets." I say. "I couldn't disappoint her."
Maybe that's true, but it's also partly because of Maya. Because I have to talk to her, at least. Although she's maybe gotten over me by now. She's maybe got a boyfriend now. She might even hate me. But I will not talk myself out of it, I'll go, and I'll tell her that three years is the only reason, and it's maybe not even a big reason anymore.

Friday, After School.

Maya's POV

"I didn't know that Missy and Sarah auditioned." Riley says, pointing to the crowd of performers which we were about to join.

"Didn't you?" I ask, because I had. Missy was mean, but Sarah was often nice, and said hello. She was a singer too, whereas Missy was a singer and dancer.

"No. But anyway, never mind. The first official round is starting in five minutes, and it's my category on first!" Riley says, worrying, even though she said earlier that she didn't want to win.

"And, the first round of the Talent show begins now, with a person opening from the skill group one, who is...

Farkle Minkus!" The announcer says.

Farkle performs a short performance, called 'I'm taking over the world' which include a song to the tune of a song called '`Take on the world' but with different lyrics.

"I've been waiting

to take the whole world over

Strike it with lightning

And Maya Hart will be my wife

Along with Riley Matthews

I feel alright I'm gonna take over the world

Rule all the stars and all the people who will

Sing Yeah Oh Farkle, You are awesome

Take over the world

Take over the world " And so on, until the terrible version of his song ends, and he bows and says "Thank you, I am Farkle"

It's quite a lot of people's turns, including Riley's, before it finally gets to Zay, and then me.

I step out on stage, and start to sing...

"Oh [14x]

Cast out to sea
Drifting with the tide
And no way of finding me
Now that I'm free
Nothing but blue skies
Paradise in front of me

Awake from this dream
I hold my breath and just believe

Tired of all the troubles
They've been wasting my time
I don't wanna fight
Gonna leave it behind
Taking on faith
Now I'm ready to fly
I'm in the middle of starting over
Back to the beginning
Gonna hit rewind
Chance to do it over
Get it right this time
Life gives you pennies
Turn them into dimes
I'm in the middle of starting over
I'm in the middle of starting over
Oh [14x]

Alone in a room
Tearing down the walls
Painting over scars and bruises
Now this is home
Fill it up with love
And make the best of something new, yeah

As hard as it seems
I hold my breath and just believe

The colors and the stars
Seem a little brighter
Tomorrow isn't far away!
Through the hardest part
I'm working towards a happy ending

And then I'm finished, and I get a standing ovation, and I feel wonderful, like I can do anything.

At the end, there are five minutes where parents all vote on the school website for who to go, and Farkle gets chosen from his category, A small girl with curly hair from the second category, a boy with a face like a hamster from category three, another boy in category four, Missy from our category, and a girl with short, black, spiky hair from the sixth category. Missy is obviously annoyed, and demands that the votes should be recounted, but they don't do that, and instead the show ends, and Topanga, Cory, Auggie, Smackle, and Lucas come over to hug me and Riley, and tell us that we did great.
