The Girl with the Camera (Joshua Matthews Story) by KatieMac9

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.

Maya Hunter: Maya's life was perfect. She had a family that loved her, a boyfriend who adored her (at least when he wasn't adoring other girls), and amazing friends. There's only one problem. She's failing algebra and the only person who may help her pass is also the person she promised herself she'd never let back in. Joshua Matthews: Josh's life was less than perfect. He lost his parents and he now lives in Greenwich Village with his brother and his family, he jumps from girl to girl, getting drunk most nights, and his only friends are people that would drop him in a second for a better offer. But when the girl he let get away starts failing algebra, a class he's actually good at, he decides to help her and maybe find his way back into her heart. Told from the alternate viewpoints of Josh and Maya we'll find out if some games are really worth the risk. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ ♡ Highest Rankings ♡ ~ #4: Joshaya ~ #81: Girl Meets World

When Olivia sees someone develop a crush on her best friend, feelings resurface and relationships begin to change. Life is one big long game, with twists and challenges along the way.
