Chapter Three:
Author's Notes: I'm making Rob a little younger so he's a senior in Capeside High. That's all. Kay? Oh, and I hate this chapter. I experienced writer's block right in the middle of it.
Yuki's Angel: I'm really glad you liked it. But Mushroom?
Jess: I just read your autobiography. I think it's completely neat that you live not to far from me. I mean, just over an hour away. Well, an hour isn't far to be because I'm a Bruce County hick and it takes an hour to get anywhere.
Rob smiled as he saw Joey Potter coming down the hallway towards him and smiled. Joey saw his smiled and scowled in response.
"Hey Potter," Rob said. "What are you doing here?"
"None of your business," Joey responded.
"Touché," Rob said. He saw Joey holding a paper behind her back. Rob reached for it and snatched it away from her. "What's this Potter?"
"Give it back," Joey demanded. "It's not yours."
Joey made a desperate attempt to get the paper back but to no avail. Rob read the paper over.
"I never pictured you as the type to play matchmaker," Rob commented. "But then again, you are a liberated women these days. I mean with Golden-Boy Dawson out of the picture, I thought that you might be looking for a suitable replacement."
"Don't flatter yourself," Joey said. "I'd rather date a sewer rat."
"Ouch. Don't get all sensitive on me," Rob said.
Rob smirked. "Unlike you're like little Andie who doesn't know whether she's coming or going."
"I'll pretend that I didn't hear that," Joey said.
"Well you know as well as everyone else that she has a history," Rob smirked.
"Shut up Rob," Joey snapped. "Andie may have made some mistakes but at least she's a good friend."
"I could be your good friend," Rob said.
"I'd rather be friends with a snake then with you," Joey said.
"Are you sure?" Rob said. "I mean, you came friends with Pacey pretty quick."
Joey frowned. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"I'm just saying that maybe that's why you and Andie are sometimes so cold to each other."
"I don't know what you're talking about but I'm stopping it."
Joey spun around and started to walk away when she bumped into Pacey. Rob let out a small laugh.
"Hey Jo," Pacey said. "Where you heading?"
"Nowhere."
"Oh. I was just about to hand in this survey," Pacey said.
Pacey looked at Rob and glared. "What's he doing here?"
"I don't know Pace," Joey said.
"I'm here because my sister is gone away for the week with her boyfriend and I've taken over the position of class president for a week."
"And the board is allowing this?" Pacey asked.
"His mother is on the school board, remember?"
"Oh," Rob said. "So I see you've done your research. I'll take both quizzes now."
"No way am I giving this to you," Joey said.
"Do you actually think that I have some interest in your boring, pathetic lives?"
"Yes. Especially when it involves tormenting me."
"And why would I do that?"
"I don't know. Because you have nothing to do in your otherwise boring, pathetic life?"
"That really hurts Potter," Rob mocked.
"No way. I'll just put mine in the box."
"Have it your way."
"What?" Joey said amazed. "You're giving in that easily?"
"I don't care about your melodramatic lives anymore."
Joey shrugged and put hers and Andie's survey in the sealed metal box. Pacey put his and Dawson's in as well.
Joey glared at Rob and said, "Let's go Pacey."
Rob just snickered. Then he smiled evilly as he watched Dawson and Andie happily chatting away. "Let the matchmaking begin."
