Senior Trip(Dawson's Creek #1)
by Paul Fisher
"I can't believe we actually are going on a trip to the Bahamas for our senior trip"Joey
Potter said to the group as they drove up to a port in Miami, Florida. "Whoa look at that
boat"Pacey Joey's boyfriend and maybe he hoped lover said staring at the cruise boat
waiting for the Capeside teens. It was a humongous black liner with silver smoke stacks
and supposedly over 30 rooms for relaxing during their 2 week cruise through the
Bahamas and the Florida Keys. "Yeah we're gonna have an awesome time"the go-
getter and sometimes a little nerdy girl Andy said grabbing her black suitcase off of the
truck and all most falling because of the weight. "Give me that " Jack, her brother and
now out of the closeter, said handing her a lighter bag. "This should be better than
sitting around Capeside"Jen the ex-bimbo and now turned better by her time spent with
her over-religious grandmother. " Well I can and I'm happy to get away from that town
for a while"Dawson the movie obsessed ex-boyfriend of Joey said looking at the huge
boat."Dawson honey you kids have a good time" Gale, also Dawson's mother said
goodbye
being the one who had driven the to the port. "Bye mom and Bye Mrs. Leary" was
heard by all the teens."Goodbye" Gale said getting in their 1998 Ford Explorer and
driving away. "Well let's go" Jen said. "We're gonna have fun " Pacey said quickly
kissing Joey and grabbing his and her bags. "All aboard" the captain shouted. Suddenly
they heard loud music followed by a screeching of tires. They all turned around to see
a Red Porshce drive up and brake hard to a stop. The door opened and out stepped Dru
Valentine. "Don't worry I'm here " Dru said grabbing his 5 bags. "Oh boy this is gonna
be fun" Jen said sarcastically. "Let's just go" the other said walking aboard the huge ship
"There's 30 rooms and 100 kids" Joey said grumpily to Pacey. "Don't worry about it"
Pacey said. "Don't worry since my father owns shares of this shipping company , I have
2 rooms for 2 beds each and one for 3." Dru said to the small group of friends. "Me and
Pacey will share with Dawson" Joey piped up. Shocked Pacey looked at her.She gave
him a not now look. "As fun as that would be I'd rather not be with the two of you
making out all the time so I'll share with Jen."Dawson said still a little hurt that Joey
chose Pacey over him. "Fine with me" Jen said and the two of them walked away down
the ship's halls. "And me and Andy should share one of the two bedded rooms also"
said pushing Andy ahead. "Uh I guess I'll be baby-sitting you lovebirds"Dru said
walking ahead. "This is just great we go on a trip together and we have to share a room
with the most annoying and obnoxious person in school." Pacey grumbled. "Look I
want this trip to be a good one so please no fighting on the boat" Joey said pleadingly
looking into Pacey's eyes. "Promise me Pacey" Joey Potter said. "I promise". Pacey
mumbled and then dropped Joey's bag beside her and went on.
***Interlude***
"I just hope they have a good time" Gale said as she drove down the highway towards
the bed and breakfast her and Mitch, her husband, where supposed to meet secretly for
a weekend. She thought of the amazing time she was gonna have when she heard the
screeching of tires and the jolt that she felt from her right side. "My baby" she screamed
as there was a scratching of metal.
***End Interlude***
"This amazing Jack" Andy said as she looked around the room on the boat she would
be sleeping in during the trip. It was twice the size of her room at home. The curtains
were a luxurious green as was the carpet. There were two humongous beds with
flowered bedspreads. There was a refrigerator,microwave,stove,even a little kitchen
and sink. The bathroom was half the size of the bedroom and just as nice. "Whoa I
can't believe the boat is so cool " Andy said setting her bag down . She looked around
the bathroom and smiled. "Andy you are kidding me right" Jack said walking in carrying
a red and blue Jansport backpack. "You brought schoolwork on your senior trip" Jack
said shocked. "Well I didn't want to fall behind" Andy whined. "Look Andy please
listen to me" Jack said grabbing her shoulders and spinning her around "Promise me that
you will have fun". "I don't know" Andy said. Jack glared at her. "Alright I promise"
Andy promised. "Okay then he said grabbing the closet door,pulling it open,chunking
the backpack in the wooden grey door, and slamming it shut. "Now we have to go to
Dawson's room later." he said exiting the bathroom.
"You're right it is pretty big" Dawson said entering his and Jen's bedroom. " I am so
happy to be going on this trip" Jen said dropping her bags and falling backwards onto
the bed. There was a knock at the door. "I'll get it" Dawson Leary said walking over to
the door and pulled it open. "Hello" he said to the girl that was standing there. "Hey"
the girl said standing there. She had pigtails and big red glasses. "Yes" Dawson said
staring at the girl as she stood there. She smacked her gum and stuck out her hand and
said " Hey my name is Anne". "Hello Anne would you like to come in?" Dawson said
shaking her hand and then opening the door all the way. "Sure dude" she said walking
forward and tripping on her own feet. "Aah" she said as she fell towards the ground
until Dawson caught her. "Hey uhh" she said staring dreamily into his eyes. "My name
is Dawson, are you okay?" he asked setting her upright.
