The Reunion

The Reunion

Pacey was sitting on the veranda. To think he used to share this house with Gretchen.
"God that was almost 10 years ago" He stopped for a minute. He'd thought of Joey. Every time he thought of the past she popped into his head. Didn't matter how hard he tried to not think about her, she always managed to find a way into his thoughts. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted.
"Hey. You going to that school reunion thing." It was Drue Valentine.
He had moved back to Capeside not long after Pacey had. He was now running the Yacht Club. Not what he had planned to be doing with his life. But his mother had fallen ill so he had no choice. That was about 3 years ago and Drue didn't see the point in finding another job since he was now running the club. Pacey on the other hand was working as a teacher. He never figured out how he managed to get through all the training but he was happy with his job. Gave him the chance to help out kids who had trouble studying and stuff. Just like he did.
"What reunion?"
"You know the one that's in about 2 weeks. The one that's mentioned in the invite to it."
"Invite? Oh hang on" Pacey got up out of the chair and went inside. He hadn't actually bother to open his mail this morning. It didn't looked like a bill. He found and opened it. Just like Drue said it was an invite to the reunion. He glanced over it. Yep it was in two weeks from today. He walked back outside.
"Yeah I got it, just never opened it."
"So you going to. Think about what else do you suppose we'll be doing."
Him and Drue had become friends since they both moved back. They were usually at his beach house or at the yacht club.
"I don't know. I mean it's on a Friday. I usually get up earlier on a Saturday to help Bessie and Bodie at the B+B" He had did it every Saturday since moving back. It was yet another thing that reminded him of Joey. That's not why he helped though. He helped because he enjoyed it. He'd helped when they were first opening and saw it as only fair.
"Oh come on man, I'm sure Bessie will understand." Pacey thought for a moment.
"What have I got to lose. If I don't enjoy myself then I'll go home"
"Ok then, but if it's totally boring I'm leaving." Drue turned to leave shouting "Bye" as he went.
Pacey sat back into his chair and returned to his thoughts which Drue had so kindly interrupted before.
