In 2 Years Time

Chapter 3

Maya was sitting in her last class for the day which was also her favourite.
Music.
She could express her feelings in many ways.
But with nothing better than music.
She can draw what she feels, acts what she feels and writes how she feels.
And in dance she could just get carried away.
But these days Maya has been dreading getting songs done.
She frequently felt for the ring where it was suppose to be.
She knew she had to return it today or she would keep it.
But in the end it doesn't really matter what she chose to do.
She'll have a broken heart either way.

"Okay next we have Miss Maya Hunter with a hit she write herself. Come on up Maya," the teacher said and Maya took a breathe.

"La di da da da na
Yeah
Everybody loves to tell me I was born an old soul
Better keep my eyes wide open
There's so much that I don't know
Just another hotel room
Never felt so all alone
I think about my granddad's eyes
And they always send me home
I can almost hear him now
Gotta make him proud
I keep my eyes wide open
Bless this ground, unbroken
I'm about to make my way
Heaven help me keep my faith
And my eyes wide open
I can't see two steps ahead of me
When the fog comes rollin' in
I never thought I'd miss the rain
God knows how long it's been
This dream burns inside of me
And I can't just let it go
There's still so much that I don't know
I keep my eyes wide open
Bless this ground, unbroken
I'm about to make my way
Heaven help me keep my faith
And my eyes wide open
All I have is just this moment
I don't want to miss a second
'Cause it could all be gone in an instant
Yeah, in an instant...
I keep my eyes wide open
Bless this ground, unbroken
I'm about to make my way
Heaven help me keep my faith
And my eyes wide open
I'm about to make my way
Heaven help me keep my faith
My eyes wide open
Keep my eyes...wide...open."

The teacher claps her hands and smiles.

" Good job Maya," she said.
" Thank you."

Maya did go straight home after she was done with school and ran to her room.
She knew she had to take the ring back and she is going to.
Right now.

Riley was already at home busy with Auggie when Josh came in.

"Uncle Josh!" Auggie said and ran to him.
"Hey Buddy," Josh said and picked the seven year old up.
"What are you saying? Having fun in school?" Josh asked.
"No," Auggie said.
"Why don't you two go have some fun?" Topanga asked.
"Let's go play in your room," Josh said and they were off.

"Nice having him around. Maya used to keep Auggie busy."
"We don't need Maya Hart anymore. She gave up," Riley said and heard a knock.
"I'll get it," Cory said and opened the door.
"I haven't seen you in awhile. Come in," Cory said.
"Thank you Mr Matthews," Maya said.

"What are you doing here?" Riley asked.
"Riley! Hey Maya. How are you?" Topanga asked.
"I'm good. I just came to give this back," Maya said and put the ring on the table.
"I don't want it," Riley said.
"Well I can't have it in my home anymore. You can do what you want with it. I better get home before my mom starts getting..."

"Does anyone know where... Maya. I haven't heard from you in awhile," Josh said.
"Hi Josh. Yeah I just quickly came to pop in but I have to go. Bye."

"What did you do?" Josh asked.
"Me? Nothing. Just some brat who thinks she is better than everyone else," Riley said and went to her room.

"Do I wanna..."
"They had an argument last year about something. I don't know what but after that Riley said Maya can go fly. She hadn't even been talking to her and Maya of course doesn't even come here. She has totally skipped History as well. I have given up," Cory said.
"She doesn't look healthy," Josh said.
"She doesn't. But I don't know if we could see it as that. She has been doing random stuff and I heard that Katy got married last year and her husband adopted Maya as his own daughter," Topanga said.
"So Maya has a father?" Cory asks.
"Yeah. We'll probably never meet him. So let's leave it," Topanga said.
