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 fifth 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. Wanted to switch things up for a change and try something different. Enjoy and review thanks

Chapter #6

(Jen's pov)

" Hey Joey...Bye Joey.", I greet when Joey wisks her way past me in a hurry. Wow, she couldn't have let any faster. Was it something that I said? No, it couldn't be. All I said was hi. Then again, with Joey that's all it would really take these days. Joey isn't exactly my biggest fan. In fact I have it on pretty good authority that she hates me.

" Looks like she is trying to get away from you as fast as possible Lindley.", jokes Pacey with a sarcastic smile on his face. Yeah thanks for the update Pacey. As if I didn't already know that? I just don't get it. I mean aside from the obvious reason, why does Joey hate me so much? It isn't my fault that Dawson likes me. Does Joey really have to treat me the way that she does and belittle me every chance she gets?

" I guess that makes sense, you know, considering that she hates me and all.", I tease in reply with a smirk. What the hell, I can't help Joey doesn't like me. Might as well shrug it off my shoulders. If I let the fact Joey despises me ruin my day, I would cease to smile. At least Pacey has been welcoming to me. He's hit on me a time or two also but its all in friendly fun. He knows Dawson likes me.

" What? No way, Joey does not hate you Jen. Joey is just being Joey, she will come around eventually.", reassures Dawson before placing his arm around my shoulder. Joey is just being Joey? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Whatever, I'm not about to let Joey not liking me ruin my weekend. Dawson and I are having our first movie night together. We're going to have fun, with or without Joey.

With a roll of my eyes, I laugh to myself,"Well then I would hate to see how Joey treats people that she likes."

Shoving a few books into his backpack, Pacey tries not to laugh to no avail," Don't feel too bad Jen, Joey doesn't like me either.", reminds Pacey with a proud smirk. That's true, Joey can't stand Pacey, she loathes him actually. But that's because he is always looking for new ways to insult, taunt and tease the poor girl. Those two have some serious sexual tension going on between them that's for sure.

" To be fair Pace, your favorite pass time is figuring out ways to annoy the poor girl.", I point out with an arched eyebrow. Pacey amazes me sometimes. The way he goes out of his way to get under Joey's skin are the time? Its obvious that he likes her. Its classical grade school logic. Pacey pick on Joey because he secretly likes her. I think its cute actually.

" What can I say? A guy has to have a hobby Jen.", jokes Pacey with a grin taking over his features. With a roll of my eyes, I can't help but chuckle. There is the Pacey that I have come to know and love. He doesn't let Joey faze him, why should I? I'm just going to be extremely nice to Joey and make it impossible for her to hate me. …..(End Jen's pov)
