Story:
“Girl Meets World” picks up where “Boy Meets World” left
off. Riley Mathews, the preteen daughter of Cory and Topanga who married on the
original series, tells the story from her point of view. Riley attends a school
where her father is also one of her teachers, and her brother is one grade
above her – and often reminds her that he is also one grade higher in life’s
experiences. If opposites attract, then Riley’s relationship with her best
friend Maya is a perfect example. Riley is a happy, optimistic, cheery, and
high spirited 13 year old girl with great parents – while Maya is a
not-so-trusting pessimistic girl who has never met her father. Regardless, the
two are immensely loyal to each other as friends.
