AN- Here is chapter 4. I'm glad people are reading!

Eden Hall Academy, First Day of School

Joey walked down the hall way, serching for her locker. Andie mentioned that, since they were rommates, they would be locker partners but now, all she had to do was find it! As she walked down the hallway, she spotted Pacey standing by Connie's locker and it looked like they were flirting. That didn't surprise her, she knew Pacey had a thing for his fellow duck.

Speaking of ducks, she spotted Adam patiently waiting for his girlfriend at her locker, well Joey's locker too.

''Hey guys.'' she said, walking over to them.

''Hey Jo, how are you liking the school?'' Adam asked.

''Oh, it's been great. The twenty mintues I've spent here have been the best in my life.'' Joey said, grinning at him.

Adam rolled his eyes and Joey laughed. Andie finally pulled away from her locker and smiled at Joey.

''Hey Jo, you ready for class?'' she asked.

''As ready as I'll ever be.'' Joey replied.

Andie smiled and laced her arm with Adam's.

''Come on Adam, let's go to your locker.'' she said.

Adam just nodded and kissed her cheek lightly. The two set off down the hallway, giving Joey the locker to herself. Well almost.

''Hey Joey.'' Charlie said, nervously.

Joey smiled at him.

''Hey Spaz.'' she greeted.

''Pacey told you, didn't he.'' he said. referring to the nickname that haunted him since the pee wee days.

''If you wanna get back at him, just mention something embarrassing in front of Connie.'' Joey told him.

''No, it's fine.'' Charlie said.

''You are nothing like your cousin.'' Joey told him, shutting her locker door.

''Isn't that a good thing?'' he asked, smirking at her.

Joey grinned.

''It could be, Spaz. I can't stand your cousin sometimes.'' she said.

Charlie grinned and leaned in towards her.

''That makes two of us.'' he whispered.

Joey laughed.

''See you later Charlie.'' Joey said, walking away.

Charlie grinned. He had just had a whole conversation without embarrassing himself in front of Joey. He chuckled softly and turned around, this time tripping on his backpack, which was laying at his feet. He groaned as he hit the ground.

'Well' he thought as everyone laughed 'at least Joey didn't see'

Dawson entered the Science room and looked around for a familier face. He saw Jack waving him over and he grinned.

''Hey.'' Dawson said, sitting down next to him.

''Hey, your first day going good?'' Jack asked.

''As good as can be expected.'' Dawson said.

Jack smiled.

''I"m just waiting for lunch.'' Jack said.

Dawson laughed.

''Well, it's good to have goals.'' he said.

They smiled at each other and looked away.

Connie and Pacey were still flirting at her locker.

''So, can I walk you to class today?'' Pacey asked.

''Why?'' wondered Connie.

''Well, I want to make sure no guys try anything on you.'' he muttered, blushing softly.

Connie smiled.

''Really and why would you wanna do that?'' she asked.

''Well, look at you, Cons. You look incredible and some stupid senior might want to make a move or something.'' he muttered again, wondering why on Earth he brought it up.

Connie giggled at his obvious discomfort. He was so cute!

''Alright then Witter, walk me to class.'' she said, closing her locker and smiling at him.

Pacey grinned and held out his arm, gallantly.

''Ms. Moreau.''

''Why thank you, Mr. Witter.'' Connie said, lacing her arm through his.

They arrived outside her classroom door and she turned to him.

''Thank you Pacey.'' she said, heading into the room. ''Oh, and Pacey.

He stopped and turned to her.

''I like you too.'' she quickly ran into the classroom.

Pacey grinned brightly.

Lunch Time

''So how was your first day?'' Dawson asked Joey as they waited in line.

''Wonderful. Yours?'' she asked.

Dawson grinned and whispered, ''Jack and I sit next to each other in Science.''

Joey smiled.

''Oh, are you gonna ask him out?'' she whispered.

Dawson blushed.

''No! Not right now anyway. Not until I know he's...interested.'' he said.

Pacey walked over, smiling brightly.

''Uh oh. Why are you so happy?'' Joey asked.

''It's a beautiful day.'' he said.

''Pacey thinks a school day is a beautiful day? Ok, what's wrong?'' Dawson asked.

''Connie likes me!'' he exclaimed.

Joey and Dawson grinned.

''Aw, Pacey's got a girlfriend.'' Joey teased.

Pacey rolled his eyes at her.

''Shut it Potter.'' he said.

The trio walked back to the table, Pacey taking his usual seat next to Connie.

''What are you guys talking about?'' he asked.

''Math.'' Connie said.

''I hate Math, it's my worst subject.'' Pacey said.

''I'll help you. Today, after practice, we can do the homework together.'' Connie said.

Pacey grinned at her.

''Thanks, that would be great.'' he said.

Hockey Practice

Coach Orion was really pushing the ducks. By the time practice was over, everyone was exhausted. Entering the locker room, Pacey collasped on the bench.

''Just let me die here.'' he said.

Everyone laughed.

''Get up Witter.'' Portman said.

Connie grinned as Pacey got up and her stomach fluttered as she looked at him, the white T shirt wet with sweat was clinging to his body. And what a fine body it was. She turned away quickly not wanting anyone to see her staring at him.

Once everyone was changed, the ducks headed out. Pacey pulled Connie aside.

''Homework?'' he asked, as though scared she might change her mind.

''You bet, let's go to your room, since Julie and Portman will probably be making out in mine.'' Connie said.

Pacey laughed and threw an arm around her shoulders as they walked to the dorms.

The Library

Joey was scanning the shelves, looking for any book to help her om her homework.

''We've got to stop meeting like this.'' a voice joked.

Joey smiled at Charlie.

''Hey Spaz, what's up.'' she asked.

''Nothing, just finished practice. Adam was bringing Andie to our dorm and needless to say, I didn't wanna be there.'' he said.

Joey nodded.

''Yea, that's how I feel when they ''study'' in our room'' Joey said.

Charlie laughed.

''So, whatcha doing?'' he asked.

''Homework. You're in my Science class, aren't you?'' Joey asked.

''Yea, you need this book.'' Charlie said, taking it off the shelf.

''Thanks, you know your science.'' Joey said, as they walked to a nearby table.

''Well, it's my best subject.'' he said.

''Wanna help me?'' Joey asked.

Charlie grinned.

''You bet.'' he said.

Eden Hall Dorms Room 207

''Pacey, you're doing great.'' Connie said, looking over his work.

Pacey grinned.

''Well, I'm that good.'' Pacey said.

Connie giggled.

They were laying on his bed, working on their math homework. Connie didn't understand why he kept telling everyone he was stupid, he was really smart.

''Pacey, I like that you make me laugh.'' she whispered.

Pacey glanced at her and smirked.

''I can probably make you do other things too.'' he said, winking at her.

Connie's mouth dropped and she pounced on his, hitting his chest.

''You ass!'' she exclaimed, laughing.

Pacey chuckled and grabbed her arms, effectivily stopping her. Their eyes locked and suddenly, it was hard to breathe.

''Connie.'' he whispered.

They were kissing. One mintue they weren't, the next, their tongues were dueling for dominence. Connie moaned softly and sat up, slowly pulling off her shirt. Pacey leaned up and began to kiss her neck. She moaned again and Pacey rolled them over, his lips still on her neck. Connie lightly scratched his back. He pulled away and grinned down and her, kissing her stomach lightly. Connie used all her strength and rolled them over again, her fingers moving to unbutton his shirt as she nibbled on his earlobe.

The door opened

''Pacey can I borrow- oh god!'' Dawson shouted, quickly covering his eyes.

Pacey and Connie froze and she quickly put her shurt back on as Pacey buttoned his up.

''Um..I should...I should go.'' Connie mumbled, blushing bright red.

She hurried out the door, muttering a goodbye to Dawson.

Dawson walked in the room and grinned at Pacey.

''Math homework? That's why you kicked me out?'' he said, laughing

The Library

Charlie had finished helping Joey with her homework and now they were chatting. Thankfully the library was empty, they could talk without disturbing anyone.

''So how has Capeside been since I left.'' he asked.

''The same.'' Joey replied.

''Pacey told me about your mom.'' he said, softly.

Joey looked down at the table and Charlie squeezed her hand, reasuringly.

''Did he tell you my dad got arrested?'' she asked.

Charlie looked shocked.

''Oh, no he didn't.'' he said.

''Or that my sister had a baby with her black boyfriend? Or that the Potter name means white trash.'' Joey said, hurridly stuffing her books back into her bag.

''Jo.'' Charlie said, calmly.

''I'll understand if you don't wanna hang out with me.'' she said.

Charlie grabbed her arm to keep her from leaving.

''Jo, of course I wanna hang out with you. I don't care about your family.'' he said.

Joey smiled tearfully.

''Sorry about the breakdown.'' Joey whispered.

Charlie hugged her tightly.

''I am just so worried that everyone here will find out and then it will be the same.'' she said.

''I won't tell anyone. I promise.'' he said.

Joey smiled and he kissed her forehead lightly.
