Hardworking Maya Dianie Garber, who goes by M.D. for short, is no different from anybody where she comes from- the West side. The West side is known as the poor, good-for-nothing side, while the East side is known as the rich side. The people who don't have to wonder if they're going to bed hungry side.
M.D. believed, just like everybody else from her side, that the East siders were stuck up, and didn't care about anything other than themselves and their fancy cars.
Her views start to change when a twelve year old East sider was beaten unconscious by a couple of people from her side, and when she meets a new friend, who also happened to be from the East side.
Follow Maya on her adventure while tensions rise in the community, friendships and relationships form, and fall apart.

Rose Bridges
Romero, struggling to push through the day to day life of his world: court bills, money, family, money, the past, money, his own mind, and more money. Carmen has been pushing to become a lawyer her whole life; wanting to be taken seriously in a field dominated by men is not easy though, and if putting up a front to be taken seriously is what it takes, then so be it. A certain struggle comes with feeling as though you have to act a certain way versus who you really are. Except a sensitive heart of gold can't be hidden behind a brick wall forever. Two people, walking across the same tight trope on opposite ends, trying not to fall. One going against the law and one trying to be the law. One born with a silver spoon and one suffering from the abrasions of life. Both trying to survive in worlds not made for them. Except everything in this world overlaps; bridges connecting different lives and stories. It's just a matter of realizing you're not too different from the person on the other side of that bridge.

Maya was heading home one night when she bumps into a girl. That girl being Ryan James. Armed with an oversized leather jacket and a camera, Ryan decides to walk Maya home to make sure she is safe. Ryan shows up in Cory's class on the first day of 7th grade, and Maya is happy to see the older girl she met that summer. What happens when Cory notices some striking similarities between Ryan and his long-time friend? What happens when Ryan's world expands more than she could possibly imagine? What happens when Josh meets Ryan? Will sparks fly or will everything just go up in flames? Joshua Matthews x OC PG-13 for language. I put the story as MATURE to be safe with the language and some scenes. There will be no smut in this book. The rating is just to be safe, so the story won't be removed from Wattpad for language, triggering scenes, etc. I do not own Boy Meets World, Girl Meets World, or anything associated with it. Nor do I own any of the photos included in the story. I only own my OCs and original storylines for those characters.
