Jen saw Joey and waved. Joey smiled and took a seat next to Jen. "So
that Dawson. He's uh-." "He's quite a charmer." Joey rolled her eyes. "Do
you like him? I mean, are you guys a thing?" Jen asked curiously. "Us? A
thing? Yeah right! We've been friends way too long." Joey said. "Oh ok.
It's just that when I walked through the hall doors, I saw the way you
looked at him and all." "No. We're nothing. Just friends." Joey tried to
reassure her. Joey was shifting in her chair. "What about um Pacey?" Jen
kept firing out questions. "What about Pacey?" Joey asked. "Well I mean
like the way he talks to you, and walks with you. It's more than a friend
would do." "No. Pacey is kind. And kind friends do that." The bell rang and
Joey quickly gathered her books and walked out of the room. Jen followed.
"Joey, I'm serious. Do you guys have some romantic life going on with you
three?" Jen had stepped on Joey's last nerve. Joey turned around and looked
Jen straight in the face and said, "Look Jen, this is Capeside. A small
town where there actually are friendships that don't consider getting into
each other's pants. We don't move as fast as they do in New York so will
you just cut it out? Pacey, Dawson, and I are just friends. That is all!
The End. Do you get it now?" Joey exploded. Just then Pacey walked toward
the scene and wondered what was happening. "Hey Jen, Joey" Pacey waved.
Joey marched off and bumped Pacey's arm on the way. "Uh, Jen I have to go.
Sorry I couldn't talk to you long. Uh catch you later." Pacey chased after
Joey.
Pacey walked into his class and sat next to Joey. "Jo, what's wrong? You exploded in front of Jen. What happened?" Pacey touched her arm. "Nothing. Nothing. It's just that- Jen suspects that everything between you and me and Dawson is some sexual tension thingy. I've been trying to tell her that we're nothing but friends but." Joey trailed off. "Well, you do like Dawson. You even told me that." "Yeah but she was advising me that you liked me. She was advising me! She doesn't even know anything about us and she tried to advise me!" Joey rambled on. Pacey smiled and put his finger to her lips. "It's ok Jo. It's ok. Everything is ok. She's from New York. You have to remember that," Pacey comforted her. "You're right. Thanks Pace. You're the best." Joey cheered up. "One more thing- are you sure that you don't have a 'thang' for me?" Joey teased. "Moi? Of course not." Pacey smiled.
At lunch, Joey sat at the usual table where her, Dawson, and Pacey always sat. Jen came in the lunchroom and Joey waved her hand. Jen saw her and gladly walked to the table. "Look Jen-" Joey began to speak. "Joey, I just want to apologize for being so rude. I don't even know you and I was trying to advise you for something I'm sure you would have control over by yourself. I am so sorry. We started off on the wrong foot. Can we start over?" Jen quickly cut in. "Jen- no. I should be sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just not used to being around people who suspect that us three would have a thing or anything like that but I'm sorry for blowing up in front of you today. I'm sorry." Joey rambled again. Jen smiled and so did Joey. Joey pulled up a chair and motioned Jen to sit down. Pacey walked in with Dawson in the lunchroom. Dawson and Pacey were messing around until Dawson saw Jen. Dawson froze. Pacey looked at Dawson and shook him. "Dawson. Dude, get over it. Just go and talk to her. Seriously. You're just freezing there. Come on, go and make your first move. Ask her out or something. Hurry before I get her first!" Pacey said. "Pacey! I can't believe you! You know how much I like her and you're gonna take her away from me? I cant' believe you!" Dawson raised his voice. "Relax Dawson. I was just kidding. Just go over there and ask her out!" Pacey pushed Dawson toward the table. "Uh Jen. Hi. I'm Dawson. You know, the guy you met today. Or I mean this morning. Or yeah. Um Listen. Would you like to um go to the movies or something later?" Dawson asked nervously. Jen laughed and said, "Sure Dawson. It would be a good time to get to know each other." Joey frowned. She looked at Dawson but he was too busy staring at Jen's eyes again. Pacey saw Joey frown. "Hey Potter." Pacey sat down next to Joey. "Oh hey Joey! Didn't know you were here," Dawson suddenly snapped out of his trance. "Of course you didn't. You were too busy undressing Jen with your eyes. You were concentrating hard." Joey said as she gave Dawson the cold dark stare. "Oh come on Joey. Can't you tell that our Dawson here is in love?" Pacey hit Dawson on the arm. Jen laughed and said, "So are you guys coming to the movies with us?" Dawson motioned Joey and Pacey to say yes, so that he wouldn't make a wrong move on Jen or anything. "I- um I have to study for a test. I think I'll pass-" Joey said quickly but was cut off by Pacey. "Joey and I would love to come with you guys." Joey looked at Pacey and he winked at her. "Great then!" Dawson said. "We'll meet tonight at 6. Be at the movie theatre by then." Dawson smiled.
Pacey walked into his class and sat next to Joey. "Jo, what's wrong? You exploded in front of Jen. What happened?" Pacey touched her arm. "Nothing. Nothing.
