The next couple days at school was busy, they were starting to prepare for
finals and tests. Joey didn't have much time to worry about Dawson. The
only times she looked forward to was when she hanged out with Pacey, who
was still living at the B&B. One night Joey had forced Pacey into studying
with her, when the phone rang.
" Hello, Potter's B&B," she said after she picked up the phone. " Hey Joey?" a familiar voice said. It was Dawson. " Dawson?" she asked. " Yeah," he said and there was a moment of silence. " Jo, I just wanted to say, that these last couple of days, I really miss you.." Dawson said trailing off. " You really hurt me Dawson," Joey mumbled into the phone. " I want to make it up to you. Remember the prom? We promised each other in the 9th grade that if we didn't have dates we'd go together," Dawson said quickly. " You're asking me to prom?" Joey said shocked. " Yes, would you go with me?" " Sure," Joey said. " Well I'll see you later then!" Dawson said sounding happy. " See you, Dawson," Joey said and smiled. She put down the phone and looked up to see Pacey starring at her. "I guess this studying session is over," Pacey said with a strange look on his face. " What do you mean Pace?" Joey asked. " You're going to the prom with Dawson?" Pacey asked with a disgusted look on his face. " I thought you of all people would be happy for me," Joey said shocked. " Well to tell you the truth I'm not," Pacey said. " Well why not!" Joey said. " Potter, forget it, I'm just mad because all week long I've seen you upset with him and now all of a sudden you forget why and your going to go out with the guy!" " I'm not going out with the guy Pacey, chill. This is my one chance to make this guy like me," Joey said quietly. " Well if he doesn't like you already there's obviously something wrong with him," Pacey said and walked out of the room. Joey sat there, she was so confused. Why is Pacey mad at me? Maybe I shouldn't go to prom with Dawson. But I want to so bad! Could Pacey like me? No... Joey thought. That night Joey couldn't sleep she went out to the living room, where the TV was to see a sleeping Pacey sitting in front of the TV with the Late night show playing. She sat next to him and he didn't wake up. He looked so peaceful and adorable with his hair messed up and his eyes shut. Joey smiled and watched the TV. In the morning she awoke to find herself on Pacey she was laying across his lap. " Pacey.." She mumbled and groaned and looked at the clock it was 7:00 and they had to get to school soon. " Well morning Potter, what are you doing here?" Pacey said and Joey blushed. " I must of fallen asleep watching TV," Joey admitted and looked at Pacey who was looking down at her. She could look at him forever. " Sure.." Pacey said jokingly. " Okay Pace, I'm getting up now," Joey said and yawning. " And Pace?" Joey added. " Yeah Potter," " Are you mad at me?" " Of course not Jo," he said. " I'm glad you aren't," Joey said and smiled and walked out of the room. " I think i love you Jo," Pacey whispered softly knowing she couldn't hear him. He got up and started getting ready for school.
