something to do. Don't own the song "Somthing to talk about" either, but Bonnie Raitt might own it.

Paring: D/Jo, would I chose any other?
Rating: Im not sure, but you all are old enough probably, I can't write
smut without blushing, hell, I can't even watch the whipped cream
bikini scene in VB without putting the pillow over my eyes. Get the point? So probs PG-13.
Summery: Joey is a new student at Capeside high. Dawson is apart of
the "Popular" crowd, consisting of Jack, Pacey, Jen, and many others.
When Joey gets there she is immediately taken in by this "Popular"
crowd, and when Joey gets to know Dawson, she realizes that the both
of them shouldn't really be hanging out with them. And that Dawson is
way better, and diserves to be treated better then he is by his so
called Friends.
Authors Note: I was on my way home from Ohio where I used to live, and
where my family lives and I was listening to this song by Bonnie Raitt
called "Something to talk about" and I got an idea for a fic. Thus
where I got the name of the fic.
Bonnie Raitt
"Something to talk about"
People are talkinn 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing something we don't, Darlin'.
God this school is tiny.' Was the first thought to come into Joey
Potters mind as she walked down the halls of Capeside High. And
definally in the need of a fashion resurrection.' She looked around.
She had to be the only girl in that school with a skirt on, she
thought she looked pretty slutty compared to these people, in LA she
wouldn't even register on the slut scale, no wonder people were
looking at her so weird. Oh, no wait there's another one.' Joey
thinks as she see's a blonde, with a jean skirt bound down the halls,
looking unhealthily perky.
"Hi, are you new here? Im Nicole by the way. If you need any help just
ask, im a student aid for the guidance office so I show all the new
kids around. Thats probably why I know everyone here, so what's your
name?" Nicole finishes in one big breath it seems.
Joey just looks at her like she's on something.
"Im Joey Potter." Joey says a little hesitant to shake this very
strange girls hand.
"Sorry bout her, she gets like that around new people." A guy says as
he walks up.
"Bite me." Nicole says.
"Im Dawson by the way." He says extending his hand, but this time
Joey's faster at replying.
"Im Joey, I just moved here from Cali." She says.
"California, nice, im going to collage there." Dawson says.
"Really? But were only Juniors." Joey says.
"Yeah, he's weird like that." Nicole says.
"Anyway, if you'll excuse us Dawson. I have to do my job. Go play with
your dumb friends.." Nicole says taking Joey's arm.
"Ouch, sis you hurt me, you really do." Dawson says sarcastically
putting his hand over his heart.
"I hope I did. See ya." Nicole says walking away with Joey.
"Bye." Dawson says smiling at Joey.
Cut to the football field where Nicole and Joey are sitting on the
bleachers.
"So is he your brother? Dawson?" Joey asks.
"Yea, he is, he's a year older then me but my mom held him back so we
could be in the same grade." Nicole says.
"Oh, what's he like?" Joey asks.
"Smart, popular, ever since he became a football player it seems like
the girls flock to him and the guys bow down to him, but really he's
just a guy who's trying to get through the funny thing that is high
school. He has so much potential but I just can't make him see it. I
know It seems like we hate each other, and we may do sometimes, but
thats just a case of siblingitis." Nicole says.
"Siblingitis?" Joey asks amused, after a day of spending time with
this girl she started to really like her, she was unique, an
individual, kind of like her best friend back in LA.
"Like it? I made it up to explain the unique relationship me and
Dawson have, we have our moments, and he's practically my best friend,
but sometimes we have those petty arguments, its normal and we know we
don't have to apologize for it." Nicole explains.
"Yeah, I know what you mean, I have a sister. I guess we have
siblingitis to." Joey says smiling at Nicole, then looking up at a
group of people standing around laughing a talking. The guys in
football uniforms, the girls in cheerleading uniforms.
"Who are they?" Joey asks pointing to the group of people.
"Oh them? There the "In group" or whatever you want to call it. Pretty
much just all of the football players and cheerleaders together, it's
the crowd dawson hangs with." Nicole says as the "In Group" starts
coming towards them."
"Hey Nicole, how's your life going? Oh right, I forgot you don't have
one." Jen Lindly says causing everyone else to laugh.
(Authors Note: I don't really hate Jen, I just thought I'd have her
for this role.)
"Oh hey Jen, I didn't think you'd be in school today considering your
syphilis. Suck anything lately?" Nicole jabs back.
"Yea, your brother, didn't he tell you?" Jen says.
"Anyway, we just came over here to introduce ourselves to this beauty
right here. My names Pacey." He says shaking his hand with Joeys.
"Im Joey." She says smiling at him.
"Hey Nicole, Mrs. Smith asked me to give you this." Dawson says
walking up to Nicole.
"Thanks."
"Hey Joey." Dawson says.
"Hey."
"Hey Dawson." Jen says walking up to him and kissing him on the cheek.
"Oh, hey Jen." Dawson says looking at her for a second.
"So Joey, one of the guys on the football team is throwing a party
tonight, so you wanna go?" Pacey asks.
"Sure, that sounds like fun." Joey says.
"Ok, we'll see you tonight." Pacey says walking away with the rest of
the group.
"Wait, where is it?" Joey asks Dawson.
"Here's the directions, but I can drive you." Dawson says.
"Thanks." Joey says.
"No problem, just tell me where you live." Dawson says.
"Here, wait." Joey says as she writes it down on a piece of paper.
"Ok, I'll pick you up tonight at ten." Dawson says.
"Ok, are you coming?" Joey asks Nicole.
"Na." Nicole says.
"Ok, see you tonight Dawson." Joey says walking away.
"Dawson don't even think about." Nicole says.
"What?" Dawson asks innocently.
"I know what you thinking, and I don't want you hitting on my
potential friend." Nicole says.
"I know, I've changed ok, im not that same guy." Dawson says walking away.
Sighing Nicole says, "God, I hope not."
TBC...
I know it may sound like Dawson's a jerk, but trust me he's that same
Dawson you know, but with a little more experience. More to come.
Feedback is like chocolate, i neeeeed it!
