It has been two weeks since Joey's sixteenth birthday party. As the days went by, Pacey seemed to get even more confused and frustrated. He has not really talk to Joey about witnessing the conversation she had with Jen. He loved Joey with all his heart. Nonetheless, he did not know if he could continue sneaking around everyone's back without feeling guilty. Nonetheless, guilt has not stopped him from sneaking around before.

For these past couple of weeks, every lunch period, Pacey and Joey slipped into the biology closet to make-out. It was the perfect hide out because no one ever goes into the closet around lunchtime.

"Let's go Pacey's, lunch is over." Joey insisted though could not stop kissing him.

"We're in school?" Pacey made a dumbfounded remark.

Joey continued her speech as Pacey started to nibble her neck, "Pacey I've been hungry this past week since I've given up lunch. Plus Mrs. Nickel says if I'll be late for her class, she'll give me detention. Now as much as I love this we have to stop."

"Okay." Pacey said and got up.

"Okay? You're just going to stop it like that." Joey wondered.

"Well making out in the biology closet is starting to get a bit old Jo." Pacey said heading out the door.

Joey rushed out the door and followed him, "Are you getting bored?"

"If you are asking me if I'm starting to get bored of our discretion. Then yes, I am starting to get bored." Pacey answered in positive tone.

"Discretion?" Joey uttered her confusion.

"Joey I love you, but yes I am starting to get bored that we have to hide this relationship. It's been almost a month. I mean when we are around in the public we act as if nothing is happening but when we are alone; we turned into two hormonal teenagers. Jo I want to go out on a real date. As in I pay for movie and a dinner." Pacey begged in an innocent voice.

"I don't know." Joey muttered.

Pacey grabbed Joey's hand but she pulled away.

"I'll think about it." Joey said rushing away once, she saw Dawson coming.

Jen and Dawson came up just to see that Joey had rushed away without a simple a hello.

"Wow someone is in mood for talking." Jen said sarcastically.

"Where is she off to?" Dawson asked Pacey.

"She said something about not missing Mrs. Nickel's class, not ruining her chances to go to college, don't want to stay in Capeside." Pacey joked.

"Well I'm going to check up on her. She's seems too distant herself from everyone lately." Dawson noted and left.

Pacey has not spoken to Jen since she caught him in bed with Joey. Therefore standing next to her was very awkward for Pacey.

Jen then broke the silence, "Does it seem that Joey has been distant? Because when I saw you two together, you two seemed pretty close."

Pacey walked away without even looking at her.

Jen followed him, "Oh what? Did I hurt a sore spot?"

"Jen I'm not talking about this. And if I were to talk about this it would not be with you." He justified.

"Just answer this for me, what the hell do you think you are doing. You're sleeping with Joey." Her words decrescendo.

"You know what this isn't any of your business. It's not anyone's business but Joey's and mine. So if you don't mind, stay out of it." Pacey said forceful.

"You know I spent all last year covering for you two. But I don't know if I can do it anymore Pacey." Jen uttered.

"What do mean?" He got concerned.

"I mean I don't know if I can lie for you two." Jen clarified.

"We're not lying!" Pacey defended.

"Pacey you heard what Joey said at her birthday party. She doesn't care about you. The only thing she cares about is not hurting Dawson." She recollected.

"Jen you know that's not true." He denied.

"Yes it is. You know with all the evidence I have observed she umm, she's never going to love you like she loves Dawson. You are going to get hurt by this!" Jen simplified.
