All that morning Joey was not happy with herself. She wasn't being fair towards Dawson and she was especially not being fair to Pacey. More importantly, she was not being fair to herself. Joey Potter should have never stepped over her boundaries. She had to chose before anyone else would get hurt.

It was the last part of the day and Joey was walking down the hallways in a dazed. She was in her own world. As she turned the corner, she was transformed out of her daze when she saw Pacey at his locker. Pacey ambiguously ignored her and walked past her quickly. Joey wanted to walk the opposite direction. She wanted to walk the other way and pretend as if nothing had happened but she knew that Pacey was worth walking forward.

"Pacey. Wait." She jogged after him.

Pacey turned around, "Jo. I have places to go, things to do. You know I have a life too. Like you, how you and Dawson were swapping salvia and experiences one another's tongue."

"Pacey will you let me talk; let me explain myself?" Joey said but the bell rang loud and clear.

"We wouldn't want to be late for our last class." Pacey turned around but fortunately Joey grabbed the back of his shirt and dragged him.

"You are worth being late for class." She pushed him against the locker. They both sat down on the floor as everyone else went to class.

"Look I know you are mad at me." Joey speculated. At this point, the hallways were utterly empty besides the two of them.

"Mad. No I wouldn't say mad. More like angry, frustrated, used, got my hopes up, lied to, and infallibly opaque." Pacey went on and on.

"Okay. I know… But what it is worth, he kissed me. There were no warning signs." Joey declared.

"Jo. Please. Let's stop this now. Before anyone gets hurt… We should of stopped this months ago." Pacey prompted.

"Pace please…" Jo pleaded.

"Jo. You are evidently still with Dawson." Pacey started to get up.

"Wait. I broke up with Dawson." Joey lied. The truth was Joey hadn't seen Dawson since the kiss. She wasn't technically lying to Pacey because she was going to break up with Dawson as soon as possible. She was just a little ahead in the schedule. She lied because she panicked. She did not know what to say. She did not want to lose Pacey.

"You broke up with him?" Pacey repeated.

"Yes. The class after the kiss. I just haven't told him about us. And I'm sorry Pacey but all of this is a bit exhilarating. So you are going to have to excuse me when I am going to say that I need some time before I tell him about us. But I still want to be with you." Joey continued her story-telling.

"You do?" Pacey said sympathetically.

"Pacey I love you." Joey stated proudly.

"I love you too." Pacey said thankfully.

They hugged each other as they kissed passionately. Joey felt insecure and nervous but she did love Pacey. She felt as though her intentions were right.

Joey broke away from the kiss for a second just to say, "How about we skip sixth period and head to your boat again."

"You Josephine Potter consider skipping sixth period to engage in sexual activities with your boyfriend." Pacey said shocked.

"With my boyfriend." Joey said officially.

"Are you serious?" Pacey said smiling.

"It'll the one time." Joey said got up and grabbed his hand.

"You don't here me complaining." Pacey got up leading the way as they exit the school building.
