Chapter #3
(Jen's pov)
" Hey Joey, can I talk to you for a second?", I ask as I walk up beside Joey on the docks. I've been hoping that I would run into Joey sooner or later. This girl can be pretty elusive when she wants to be. I haven't seen her around at all lately. Ever since Joey and Dawson broke up, the poor girl has kept her distance from everyone. ...Well, everyone except Pacey that is. Seems those two have been getting pretty close these days.
" Depends on what its about.", mutters Joey with a hesitant sigh as she glances up at me cautiously. Huh, she must think I'm here to batter her with questions about how she's been doing since her and Dawson parted ways. Fortunately for her, I'm not. I already know that Joey has been hurting. That doesn't concern me. What does have my curiosity is the new found friendship Joey seems to have struck up with Pacey all of the sudden. Not long ago those two couldn't stand one another. Now their the best of pals?
" You and Pacey have been spending an awful lot of time together Joe.", I observe with a smile plastered across my face. This cause Joey to frown in return. She must already know what I'm hinting at. I have a sneaking suspicion that Joey has become rather smitten with our dear friend Pacey Witter. Why else would the two of them spend so much time together these days? I think its great, I always figured there was something between the two of them.
" Yeah, so? What is your point Jen?", asks Joey before laying on her back once more. Whats my point? I'm on a mission doll, a mission to prove you have the hots for Pacey. You can deny it all that you want. But I'm not an idiot. I have seen the way Joey looks at Pacey, likes she needs him. She never once used to look at Dawson in that way. I'm beginning to think that all their bickering and arguing was just their way of flirting with one another.
With a simple shrug of my shoulders, I rub sun lotion on my arms and legs," Nothing, I was just wondering if something was going on between the two of you is all."
Nearly choking on her soda, Joey coughs violently as tears sting her eyes," What? No!...Why? Did Pacey say there was?"
" No, I was just curios Joe.", confide with a shrug before laying down beside her on the docks. Joey's reaction just now confirmed my assumptions. Why would she ask me if Pacey said anything if she didn't like him? She wouldn't. Joey isn't fooling anyone. Personally I don't see what the big deal is? If she likes Pacey, why not just admit it?
" Oh...No, there is nothing between Pacey and I.", acknowledges Joey with a roll of her eyes and a laugh. Oh come on. The two of you have hung out everyday for the last two weeks, don't give me that crap Joe. I'm not Dawson, you can lie to me. I know better than that. If those two aren't hooking up, at the very least they're smitten with one another but just too afraid to admit it to themselves or each other
" Really? I don't know. I kind of think that you like him, Potter.", I suggest with a smirk as I silently dare her to tell me otherwise. I caught Joey red handed. I'm dying to see how Joey will try and wriggle herself out of this one. One way or another I'm going to get these two to admit their feelings for each other I think that they would make a cute couple. Besides, Pacey is a really sweet guy. Joey could use someone like him in her life. ….(End Joey's pov)
