All that week was like a dream to Joey. She avoided Pacey whenever she
could. When they had a class together, he would pass her notes, she would
always be the first out the door, and she even tried to not go to her
locker. At lunch she would sit with Jack McPhee and his sister Andie. Jack
was really sweet. He never made fun of her like Pacey did. She missed
Pacey. When she was at lunch, Jen and Pacey were flirting. Not just
verbally, they were touchy too, well Jen was. Joey and Jen were friends.
Joey wanted to hate her but Jen was too nice. It was Friday night and Joey
was at Dawson's house for movie night.
"Dawson, why are we watching this?" "You don't like a walk in the clouds?" "You know it's my favorite movie, but it is not a Spielberg film." "Well, we could watch Jaws." " yes, I want to a watch a robotic fake looking shark chase idiotic sea goers, then get blown up by a guy who is a little on the mister Rodgers side. This movie is fine." "Okay then." "Dawson you know you can tell me anything right?" "Of course Joey. I, I have something now. Joey I'm gay." "Okay." "That's it? I don't get any speech?" "Dawson, I thought you were. I'm happy you are comfortable. I want you to be happy." "I've been seeing Charlie on the side for two days." "It's about time! You guys look cute together." "So I heard you met a new boy." "Yeah, his name is Jack. He has a sister that is nice but there is something about her, I have a feeling that she is going to bring me down." "You are crazy." "I don't think so. I have a secret too." "What is it Joey?" "I had or have a medium sized crush on Pacey." "When did this start?" "When we were doing the goodbye kiss for your movie. I didn't want to realize it till after he kissed me in the library." "Joey why didn't you tell me sooner?" "I don't know." "I have some bad news and some good news." "Good then bad." "Good is he liked you." Joey smiled. "Bad news is." A car came driving by. It stopped by Jen's house. Joey looked out the window. Two people walked out but it was too dark to tell who they were. They walked hand in hand to Jen's porch, when they were in the light Joey saw them. It was Jen and Pacey! They were talking and then they kissed. Jen walked in and Pacey headed for Dawson's House. "Was that the Bad news? I knew no guy would pick a tulip over a rose! It was too good to be true." Joey was crying. "Don't cry Joey. There are other guys out there." "I should have known that the dress Jen borrowed was for a date." That is when Pacey walked in. Joey got up and ran to the window. "I'll talk to you tomorrow Dawson, bye." Joey went down the ladder and ran off.
Jen came by Joey's house the next day. "Hey Joey, I washed the dress and I came to give it back. Can we talk?" "Sure." Joey and Jen went into Joey's room. "Joey I had a date with Pacey last night. It was fun but I had a change of heart, so did he. We hung out for the rest of the night but we both lost interest. I don't like Pacey anymore." "When did this happen?" "A few days ago. When the date was over he kissed me on the cheek. He said he tried to move on. I don't know what that meant. We talked about this new girl that he wants to ask out on a date but he doesn't know how. He said they are always bickering." Joey lit up. She knew the girl was her. They talked some more then Jen left. Sunday nothing exciting happened except that Joey's cousin Sam was caught kissing Jen.
It was Monday and everything was weird. Joey felt like an outcast. Dawson had Charlie, Jen had Sam, and even Pacey wasn't bothering her. Joey went to her locker. She looked a few lockers away and she could hear Andie and Pacey. "You are so lazy." "No I'm not." "Yes you are Pacey; I have never known a lazier person." "Andie, uh, Dawson, Charlie, jen, Sam and I are doing something tonight. Would you like to go with me?" "I'd love too." Joey couldn't believe her ears. She wasn't the girl that Pacey wanted to ask out.
It was 5th period. "Hey Joey." "Hi Jack." "Hey everyone is doing something tonight and I was wondering if you like to go." Joey liked Jack a little. She knew Pacey would be there so she would be touchy with Jack. "I'd love too." The bell rang. Joey and Jack walked into the hallway. She saw Pacey looking at her. She leaned over and gave jack a small peck on the lips. "Bye Jack." Pacey was still staring. She walked right passed him. When she was at her locker Pacey walked up. "Since when have you been dating Jack?" "Well, we have our first date tonight." "Oh, Joey what happened in the library." "Was a mistake, I know. I knew it was. the date with Jen helped me prove the point. I'll see you in study hall." Joey walked away.
It was five o clock. Jack and Joey arrived at the restaurant. When Joey saw Pacey she gave Jack a kiss. Pacey looked fumed. They all ate. Afterwards they went dancing at a place for teens. Whenever a slow song came on Joey would dance very close with Jack. Whenever Pacey was watching she would kiss Jack. Andie and Pacey danced a little. When they did Joey felt horrible. There was no use for her now in Pacey's life. He had a new sparring partner and a girlfriend wrapped in one. By the end of the night Joey kissed Jack thirty times. When everyone was walking out, Andie and Pacey were outside kissing. Joey turned and walked away.
Joey was dating Jack for the next few months. She never kissed him unless Pacey was around. Pacey and Andie were dating too. It was March now and they have been dating for about seven months. "Hey Joey." "Hey Andie." "Joey, I know we aren't that close but I have this problem." "What's wrong?" "I am ready to have sex." "Why are you telling me? You should tell Pacey." "That's the problem, I don't know how to tell him." "I wouldn't know. Just tell him directly." "Thanks Joey." Andie hugged her and walked away. Joey felt depressed. She had to see Pacey today because he is the props guy for the play. Joey was the backstage director.
It was three thirty and Pacey was almost done with moving the things into the storage place. "Well, I'm all done." "Not yet Witter. One last box. Be careful, it has glass in it." Pacey picked up the box while Joey held the door open. "Wait! You'll smush the hats." Joey let go of the door and picked up the hats so he could put down the box. The door locked.
"Dawson, why are we watching this?" "You don't like a walk in the clouds?" "You know it's my favorite movie, but it is not a Spielberg film." "Well, we could watch Jaws." " yes, I want to a watch a robotic fake looking shark chase idiotic sea goers, then get blown up by a guy who is a little on the mister Rodgers side. This movie is fine." "Okay then."
