This chapter goes from girls to boys and back again etc. GP=Girl party
BP=boy party
It was a Thursday. It was starting to get cold outside. Jen, Carmen, and Joey were at lunch. They didn't feel like eating. Joey was laying her head on her arms on the table. Carmen was holding up her head with her hands. Jen was leaning back in her chair tapping her fingers on the table. Andie walked over.
"Hey girls."
They all answered with a weird noise that was not even close to a hello.
"Bad day?"
"Bad year so far for me." Joey said.
"Ha that's nothing. I just moved here and I already have guy problems." Carmen added.
"Well, I can't even get a guy." Jen said.
"Why don't all of you come to my house and we can have a girl's night in. what do you say?"
Jen nodded yes and looked at Joey.
"A sleepover? I think I'll pass." Joey said.
"It's more like a friend therapy session except there's going to be pj's, pillows, music, and food. If you do it than I'll go too." Carmen said and looked at Joey. Joey looked at all of the girls and shook her head no.
"Fine, fine, I'll go as long as there's chocolate."
Andie said, "I would never invite cranky girls over without chocolate."
"Hey!" All three of them said. Andie shrugged her shoulders.
Dawson, Pacey, Sam, and Charlie were in gym on that Thursday. Sam and Pacey were sitting on the bleachers. Pacey was leaning backwards on the back bleacher and Sam was leaning on his hands and had his eyes closed. Dawson and Sam sat down next to them.
"What's wrong with you two?" Dawson asked.
Pacey and Sam looked at each other. "Girls." they answered in unison.
"Why don't we have a special movie night tonight? We could talk about your girl problems."
"Dawson thanks but no thanks. I don't feel like it today." Sam said.
Pacey looked at Dawson. "D man, you're gay. How would you know about what go on in girls minds?"
"Exactly. Being one of the town's permanently platonic friends, girls come to me with their problems. I get a lot from them about guys because they want my guy expertise: in turn, they fill me in with what girls are feeling. Charlie and I could get a PhD in the mind of the girl."
Sam and Pacey's jaws dropped. They both decided to go to this lesson in girls.
The bell rang for the end of the period. Joey said goodbye walked out into the hallway. Jack stopped her.
"Hey Jack. What's up?"
"Hey Joey, you know how there's this Junior class trip on Saturday, um, I was wondering, actually more thinking, or even the phrase contemplating can work."
"Jack, spit it out."
"Well, everyone knows someone who's going and I don't and I know that you said that you weren't going to go but I thought now since you have a reason to go that you would. Flat out would you like to accompany me on the junior class trip?"
Joey just looked at Jack she didn't know what to say. "Let me think about it and I'll get back to you tomorrow. Got to go bye Jackers." Joey got out of there fast.
GP: Joey walked with Jen and Carmen to Andie's house. Her house was huge. They went in after about a half an hour of school gossip they finally got into the problems. Andie asked Carmen first.
"So what's wrong with you and Sam?"
"That junior class trip is on Saturday and Sam doesn't want to go and he won't tell me why. I really want to go." Carmen said.
"He's a Potter and us Potter's don't like to get into the school spirit. It's just not our genre." Joey said. "If you beg him he'll break down, I did today. Did you try asking him?"
Carmen said, "So I should go up to him and be like Sam, why don't you want to go on the trip with me?"
BP: "I don't know why I don't want to go on the trip with Carmen." Sam said.
"You must know why. I think you're afraid to be alone with her." Pacey said.
"Why would I be afraid to be alone with her? I'm not a virgin anymore. She is but I think I could control myself." Sam replied.
"Hey I'm not a virgin either but it would scare me to death to think about sex for the first time with the girl I love even though I've had sex before." Pacey said like he was analyzing Sam.
"If you think you could handle that pressure then you should give the girl what she wants." Dawson told Sam. Sam nodded his head. Charlie rolled his eyes.
"Now that we got the small problem out of the way, let's talk about the ongoing story of Pacey and Joey, the '99 edition." Charlie smiled at Pacey.
"Ha, ha, the main problem for me is that powerful little four letter word."
GP: "Love, love is my problem. Nobody wants to share it with me." Jen said.
"Jen you should consider yourself lucky, I have two people who want me to share my love with them." Joey said that then put her head on her hands.
All the girls kept looking at Joey. They wanted her to go on. Joey sat back and thought for a moment. She sprung up and pulled her lower lip under her teeth and her hands were fidgeting.
"Last week Pacey came to work with me because he needed tutoring in world history and he got on the counter and told me how much he didn't care. Just like Pacey but, I poked my eye and he looked at it. After that, one thing led to another." Joey looked at them.
BP: "Then I kissed her." Pacey smiled at the guys.
"You kissed her?" Charlie said.
"Yes I did, and she didn't refuse it either. She actually in forced it. She wrapped her arms around my neck and leaned into me. I would say she was enjoying herself."
"Then what's the problem?"
Pacey patted Charlie on the shoulder. "Well my naïve friend, I'm still waiting for the dramatic repercussions from engaging in such risky behavior. There is sure to be some kind of emotional prize."
"Do you still love her?" Sam asked.
"I don't think I'll ever stop loving her."
GP: "So we kissed and I told Pacey to leave. Now Jack just asked me today to go on the junior class trip with him. I don't know what to do." Joey looked all confused.
"If I were you Joey I would go on the trip with Jack, as friends, and have a great time. You still love Pacey but you need to get away from the drama with him for a while and if I'm not mistaken you said that Pacey wouldn't be caught dead at that junior trip so, if you go you'll be home free." Carmen put some interest into going to the class trip for Joey. Joey walked downstairs and told Jack she would go on the trip with him as friends but nothing more.
BP: "Listen Pace, Josie is a very undesisive girl. I think you need to get away from all the drama and have a little fun. Joey would never go to that school oriented junior trip and I was told from a little birdie that Melody Shark wanted to go with you. It's opportunity knocking." Sam said.
