"Good morning, Maya Matlin! I’m sorry I had to leave — early morning hockey practice — and I didn’t want to wake you. You were drooling so cutely. So, last night was pretty much the best night ever. Um, thank you for that. And, also…I kidnapped Hoot! If you ever want to see your owl again, meet me on the steps at lunch, and we’ll negotiate for his safe return. Muahahahahaha!"
— Video Message Cam Left to Maya in Bitter Sweet Symphony (1)

The relationship between Campbell Saunders and Maya Matlin is known as Camaya (Campbell and Maya), Caya (Campbell and Maya) or Maybell (Maya and Campbell). It began in Season 12 of Degrassi.

Relationship History[]

Overview[]

Campbell Saunders and Maya Matlin first met in Walking on Broken Glass (1) . Tristan, who was attracted to Campbell, tricked Maya into volunteering to have Campbell join their group during a French class assignment. That night, Campbell friended Maya on Facerange and began regularly chatting with her. However, he was actually talking to Tristan, who was posing as Maya, who wanted to get closer to him. After finding out that Tristan had been posing as Maya all along, and that she knew, Cam angrily told both of them that he will never be friends with either of them when they hoped they could start over. 

However, Maya and Cam return to speaking terms again as shown in Say It Ain't So (1) and develop a friendship together. This friendship gradually blossoms into a romance towards the end of the first half of Season 12. Despite dealing with many obstacles, including a messy love triangle with Zig and Maya's annoyance with his lack of physical/verbal affection, the two overcame them and were happily a couple, completely in love.

Tragically, their relationship ended when Cam, who had been suffering from severe depression, committed suicide when convinced that Maya would be better off without him in her life. His abrupt death left Maya traumatized and emotionally scarred and unstable, sending her into a downward spin before she soon learned to come to terms with his passing. She properly dealt with his death and began to gradually move on in her life. Though Maya was able to heal from Cam’s suicide, she often struggled with severe anxiety and panic attacks as a result. This coupled with PTSD from the bus crash she was involved with at the end of her junior year, finally sent Maya over the edge. After being diagnosed with depression, and a failed suicide attempt, Maya has finally received the proper mental health care, but was left forever emotionally damaged by the traumatic events she experienced, Campbell’s suicide being one of them.

Later in the hallway, he apologizes to Tristan and Maya, saying that he's homesick like crazy and his teammates are his family.

In Gives You Hell (2), Campbell joins Maya and Tristan in class and gives Maya advice on her "audition" for the school play, which was actually what Tristan and Cam were talking about on Facerange since he still does not know that it's Tristan he is talking to.

Katie agrees to drive her but is going to be chaperoning them, much to her disdain. 

When the movie is over, Maya asks Cam if he liked the movie and he says he liked the best friend, which makes Katie ask him if it's because the best friend was the "womanizer". As Cam tries to take Katie's blunt questions with ease, such as whether or not he's a virgin, Maya distracts Katie and runs away with Cam into a photobooth.

Meanwhile, Maya is very worried about Cam breaking up with her, as they just had a great night the night before. Katie tells her that she needs to concentrate on her music audition and forget Cam for now. The girls see police cars pull up to the school, and Maya is told by Madame Jean-Aux that Katie needs to take her to see Mr. Simpson. Once they arrive, Simpson brings a counselor into the room and he explains that Cam has killed himself. While Katie is shocked and saddened, Maya shows almost no emotion and asks if she can go and practice for her audition.

Later, a candlelight vigil is planned for Cam and Marisol asks Maya if she would speak at it. Maya initially refuses, as she has her audition that same night, but later agrees.

Maya gets back Hoot, who Cam had with him when he committed suicide.

Katie tells Maya at the vigil that the police have found Hoot, and that she can go get him whenever she wants. Still emotionless, Maya shrugs this off and Katie becomes worried, walking off to think about how she can help her sister grieve. Zig approaches and Maya is very happy to see him, but becomes annoyed when she sees that he too is upset over Cam's death. He tells her that he feels it is all his fault that Cam is gone, when Maya laughs at this, Zig is both confused and offended. Marisol tells Maya that it's time for her to speak and Zig's words about guilt are obviously still on Maya's mind.

As she stands at the microphone, she is silent for a moment before declaring the whole vigil stupid and that they shouldn't be feeling sad and guilty when Cam made the choice to commit suicide himself. Katie attempts to explain to her sister that Cam was very sick mentally, but Maya refuses to listen and says that if he needed help, he could've come to her and she would've helped him, but he never gave her the chance and just "checked out". She then states her refusal to cry and runs off stage and away from the vigil as Katie calls out after her. 

The next day, Katie and Maya walk into school and Katie checks that Maya is feeling okay before going to class. Maya assures her that she's fine, and Katie nods, knowing she's not, and leaves. Tori apologizes to Maya for the day before, and says that she'd wanted to be friends again even before Cam died. The girls hug and begin to walk off to their next class together. However, Maya pauses and pulls Hoot from her backpack. She holds it to her chest for a moment, before following Tori.

Maya is clearly hesitant and asks if she can get back to him on it, much to his clear disappointment. Tristan asks her about her date with Miles as she goes to her next class, only for her to say she isn't sure on account of her bad history with guys and trying to focus on her music career. Tristan says that she's only dated one guy and that just because her previous relationship ended tragically, doesn't mean she can't take a chance at happiness with Miles.

In Barely Breathing, Miles asks Maya how many boys she has kissed. She answers three (with one of them being Cam).

In Sparks Will Fly (2), Zig refuses to talk to Maya and she grows concerned about his disappearance. When she tries convincing Miles to look for him, she mentions that the last time someone she cared about disappeared, he never came back, referring to Cam. Later in the same episode, Maya breaks down when seeing similarities between Miles and Cam, as a result of seeing him confront Zig with a fake gun as payback, and calls him emotionally unstable. She begins to cry as she insists that she can't be with someone who scares her, "not again". 

Season 14[]

In If You Could Only See, Cam proves to be the unsaid reason for Maya's worry about Miles. Seeing the similarities between Miles and Cam, Maya is severely haunted by what Cam's bottled up emotions lead to and grows worried Miles will do the same. 

In (You Drive Me) Crazy, Cam's suicide continues to haunt Maya when she has regular nightmares of Miles harming himself in the same fashion that Cam did with his arm. Maya soon grows obsessed with Miles admitting he has a problem emotionally, taking a big emotional toll on her mental health, and leading her to extreme measures to find information on Miles whereabouts to make sure he is still alive.

When seeing her actions lead Miles to block on her on every social network profile he has, Maya's emotional state leads to a breaking point when she smashes a laptop across the room yelling how she "can't let it happen again" before having a panic attack, bringing Zig and Zoë to try to calm her. By the end of the episode, Maya admits she needs help. 

In Hush, Maya admits to Miles about how her intense worry wasn't rooted from him or even herself, but other issues. She again doesn't verbally reveal her past experience with Cam, but says she is making progress and is getting better in handling it. 

In Wishlist, Maya mentions she is still messed up after Cam's death.

Degrassi: Next Class[]

In #PicsOrItDidntHappen, Maya tells Saad that people die all around her too, and one of the people she refers to was Cam. She showed Saad the place she was supposed to meet Cam but never did since he killed himself, but no one ever told her how Cam killed himself.
