Chapter 2- Dawson

It was just a regular day at Capeside High; Joey went to her locker to get her books for her first period class as usual. But something was different that day.

"Hey gorgeous." A recognizable voice said.

"Right back at you handsome." Joey said while turning around to reveal Pacey and stare into his eyes.

"I've been thinking about you all night. I can't get you out of my head. Potter what have you done to me?" Pacey said jokingly.

"It's called attraction Pacey, get a clue."

"So that's what it is. Good to know Potter, good to know." They chuckled and leaned into a kiss that turned into many but Joey pulled away.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know. It still seems weird that we're doing this."

"Doing what?" Pacey was a little concerned by what Joey had said.

"You know, dating, kissing, this. I mean just last week we couldn't stand being around one another and now we can't take our hands off each other. It's just funny I guess."

"Maybe you're right Jo. I mean, do really think that we're going to work?"

"It all depends Pace."

"On what?"

"On whether or not we can put our past behind us and, essentially, start again."

"I guess you're right Jo."

Pacey ventured into Joey's eyes, getting to know every intricate detail, Joey was doing the same as they came closer and closer together until they finally kissed. Pacey backed Joey up to the lockers and pushed himself closer to her. She put her hands around his neck, exploring it and the territory around. They were all over each other, lost in their kisses but unfortunately the bell ruined their tender moment.

"Damn that thing." Pacey whispered as he loosened Joey from his grip.

"Sorry babe, but we do have a life to go back to. But I'll see you tonight right?"

"You can count on it Potter."

Pacey gave her a few more kisses before leaving her and going to class. Joey had never remembered being this happy. She did feel guilty about Dawson though, what was she going to say to him? She knew that Pacey had already cleared things with Dawson but she wanted to talk to him herself. She sat down in her seat just as the bell rang. She was glad that she had second period with Dawson so all she would have to do is wait one period before she could stop feeling guilty about the whole thing.

Second period had finally come and Joey was very nervous, what was she going to say to Dawson? He walked into the classroom and took his seat next to Joey, now was her chance, all she had to do was open that mouth of hers and she would be home free.

"Uh… hey Dawson. What's up?" She had a slight tremble in her voice. Dawson noticed.

"Hey Jo, is there something wrong?" He knew it was coming, but the question was when?

"Nothing Dawson. Can't I say hi to my best friend?"

"Of course you can Joey, but I know you too well not to realize when my friend is stressing out about something so what is it?" Here it came, the answer he had been anticipating…

"Uh… well… you may or may not know that Pacey and I… well… Pacey and I… you see… we're kind of going out." Joey was afraid of what Dawson's reaction would be.

"Is that it Jo?" Dawson said this trying not to show his complete disappointment.

"So you're not mad?" Joey was surprised. She had expected a much worse outcome.

"Of course I'm not mad Joey. Why would I be? We never were anything, we obviously never will be. You like Pacey and he likes you, I'm glad that you found someone that you can be with." He put on the best fake smile he could hoping that Joey wouldn't notice.

"Thanks Dawson." The bell rang which ended their conversation and put their attention to the teacher.
