Monday morning, Dawson woke up and looked over at his clock. 5:30. Why am I up so early? Dawson thought. Dawson closed his eyes and went back to bed. "Joey. Joey. Stop. I love you. Joey," Dawson woke up. He had been dreaming about Joey. "Whoa," Dawson rubbed his eyes. Why had he been dreaming about Joey? He dreamed that he and Joey were together and they broke up. He was calling after her. Oh well. It had just been a dream. Nothing real.
At school, Joey was at her locker with Pacey talking about Dawson. "I really like him Pace. I don't know how it got this close but I like him a lot," Joey explained to Pacey. Pacey's heart was torn apart but he ignored it and listened. "I know this is wrong but I like him a lot. Should I tell him?" Joey asked. Pacey shrugged. He couldn't speak because he was afraid his voice would be shaky. "Tell me what?" Dawson came from behind. "Dawson! I didn't know you were there. You scared me," Joey smiled. "Hey Pace," Dawson said. Pacey nodded. Just then the hall doors opened and a blonde girl that was extremely good looking came through. Dawson stared. "You know Dawson." Joey stopped talking and saw what he was staring at. The blonde haired girl went to Joey and introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Jen Lindley. I'm from New York. This is my first day here and uh yeah." Joey smiled and said, "Hi I'm Joey Potter, and here is Pacey and that is Dawson." "Hi Dawson." "Uh. Uh. I. Uh. Hi," Dawson stuttered. "Hello Jen. I am Pacey Witter. I think that my friend Dawson here might have a thing for you. After all he will not stop staring. Dawson, that's very rude of you," Pacey shook his finger. Jen laughed. "Well, I'll see you around," Jen walked away. Joey looked at Dawson and her smile faded. "So you have a thing for Jen Lindley the new girl from New York do you?" Pacey elbowed Dawson. "I. Have to go to class. Bye Pace, Bye Dawson," Joey quickly said. "Bye Dawson," Joey said louder. "Oh bye Joey. See you at uh lunch." Dawson kept staring at Jen. "I'll walk you Jo," Pacey walked with Joey. "Thanks Pace. You're the best friend a girl like me can have," Joey said. "Potter, you're the only girl that is like you," Pacey teased. Joey rolled her eyes and walked into her homeroom. There, she saw Jen Lindley.
