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 #9

(Jen's pov)

Somehow I knew going on a double date with Dawson would end up in disaster. He told me everything would be fine, that he only wanted to go on a double date to prove we could hangout without any weirdness. Boy was he wrong. Where do I even begin? From the moment Dawson arrived and Cliff won me that stuffed animal? He all but turned the night into a pissing contest. It was so embarrassing! I have heard about guys competing over girls before but never have I actually witnessed it! It was so degrading, as if I am some prize for the two of them to win? Please, that is not the case!

By the end of the night I wanted absolutely nothing to do with Dawson. When we parted ways I had made it more then clear to him that I needed time to myself. This was not a lie at the time, I meant it. How was I supposed to guess that Cliff would ask me out on a date though? Should I have said yes so eagerly? In all honesty probably not. I knew that Dawson would have a problem with it and he did. What am I supposed to do though never date again? I think that we both know that is never going to happen.
