Description: this is a story I have been working on for a while. This is my fifth Dawson's Creek story. I'll writing this as well as Conflicted Love, Love Unrequited, Unlikely Pair and Clueless Affection on here now.

Disclaimer: I may not own the characters but this story is original and from my imagination.

Author's note: this is my seventh try at a Dawson's creek story, be nice to me please. This is a Pacey/Joey fic, my version of how they got together and it is set in season one and progresses forwards. It is mostly going to be from the view of Joey, Pacey, Jen and Dawson's thoughts. When I'm near season two story wise I might add in Jack's thoughts as well. Wanted to switch things up for a change and try something different. Enjoy and review thanks

Chapter #1

(Joey's thoughts)

I'm not sure I like the new girl all that much. Ever since Jen moved in next door to Dawson, it's as though I have become invisible to him. Suddenly he is too busy to notice or even want to spend time with me. I hate it. Dawson and I have been friend since the both of us were in diapers, Pacey too. Now that little Miss New York showed up it's like I don't even exist anymore.

Pacey orchestrated a night out to the movies the other night and Dawson took Jen as his date. The entire time, I had to sit there and watch as Dawson attempted to hold Jen's hand. The whole ordeal made me sick. When I tried to call Dawson out on his recent change of behavior he completely denied everything. Pacey seems to think that I am jealous of Jen and her relationship with Dawson.

Truth is Pacey couldn't be further from the truth. I'm not jealous of Jen because she is with Dawson and I'm not. I don't even know why I let myself get all worked up over something that Pacey Witter of all people said. As if I could honestly give a rats ass about what he thinks? I'm not sure why I care if Dawson wanted to hold Jen's hand or if they kissed. It isn't as though I wanted to be the one whose hand Dawson was holding. I just didn't want it to be Jen

Pacey disappeared halfway through the movie, guess he went off to flirt with our new English teacher. He is such a pervert. What makes Pacey think that he has a chance in hell with Mrs. Jacob's? She is half his age. I ran into him after parting ways with Dawson and he had a real nasty bruised eye and cheek. Apparently Mrs. Jacob's was on a date with her boyfriend. That must have crushed Pacey.

It's weird but I almost feel bad for Pacey. He looked absolutely crushed by the whole ordeal. Tonight was one of the rare times that he and I actually got along. It was kind of nice. Pacey was even kind enough to walk me home. I invited him in for a little while and we just talked and laughed. It was surprisingly nice. Who would have thought I could have a goodtime with Pacey Witter as my company? I certainly didn't.

Bessie was teasing me when Pacey finally left. She kept joking about how sooner or later Pacey and I are going to collide. When I asked her what the heck she meant, Bess explained how it's 'so obvious' Pacey and I have a thing for one another. Obvious to everyone but me then, I do not like Pacey in that way and I know for a fact that he doesn't like me that way either.

Bessie only said those things to try and get a rouse out of me. Unfortunately, it worked. The thought of Pacey and I ever dating, it's so impractical. We're complete opposites who can barely stand one another's presence. Pacey and I can't be in the same room together for five minutes without slinging insults at each other. Bessie just said those things to get under my skin and I was dumb enough to let her. …..(End Joey's thoughts)
