A/N: Yeah I know, I haven't updated in just about forever, but a lot was going on (read "just like we did") so I couldn't write. But I'm back, and here's another chapter for you.

:beep beep: "Ughhhh…" Joey groaned as the sound of a car horn woke her up. She slunk out of bed and over to the window where she saw the Witter Wagoneer was parked downstairs and waiting. She grabbed her clothes, put them on as fast as she could, ran downstairs, and out the door.

"I am SO sorry, Pacey, I didn't get much sleep last night, and I slept in, I didn't even remember you were picking me up." Joey rambled.

"Don't worry about it, Jo, really." Pacey smiled.

"What the hell? I thought you'd be mad." Joey made a confused face.

"Nope…not today…" Pacey said. The rest of the ride to school was pretty much in silence. They pulled up to school, and got out of the Witter Wagoneer. They were then greeted by Dawson as well.

"Hey D" Pacey said, giving Dawson a high five."

"Hey Pacey, Hey Joey." Dawson smiled.

"What are you two doing after school today? Around 8ish? I was thinking we could all go see a movie." Pacey asked his two good friends.

"I'm free tonight, it should be fine." Dawson said.

"I can go as long as Bessie doesn't need me to baby sit again" Joey rolled her eyes.

"Great, then I'll pick you both up around 8." Pacey said, running off to his first class…or wherever he was going. Dawson said his goodbye, and walked off to his first class as well. Joey walked along slowly to her first class, still very tired, having only woke up 15 minutes ago.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" Joey exclaimed as she walked in to a guy and made him drop all the 7 textbooks he had, "Let me help you!"

"No, no, it's okay." The man smiled, "I'm David."

"I'm Joey…" Joey blushed.

"I'm new here…so I'm sorry if I come off a little different than everyone else here."

"Where are you from?" Joey asked curiously.

"Actually, I'm from New York, originally, but my parents moved me to France about two years ago." David explained.

"France? That's amazing, I've always wanted to go to France." Joey said.

"It is pretty amazing, but I should be getting to my first class, Miss Joey. But it was a pleasure meeting you." David kissed her hand and walked off. Joey stared after him, his perfect black hair and his lip ring…she never thought she'd like tight pants and a tight band t-shirt on a guy before…but he was hot. She tried to pretend she wasn't staring as he turned around suddenly and came back.

"Okay, I know this is sudden, but I was wondering if you wanted to go to a movie tonight, with me. Around 8." David asked in a rush, Joey could tell he was nervous.

"Umm…actually I was going to go to a movie with my friends Dawson and Pacey around that time—" Joey was cut off.

"Oh, I understand, I completely understand." David smiled.

"No, no, um, you can come with us…it'd be great, they'll love you." Joey smiled back.

"Great…so…call me…" David said, writing his number on Joey's hand. She smiled, and he left again. She made her way to her first class.

"Hey, Pacey." Joey said, after sitting down beside him in the first class that they both shared together.

"Hey, Jo. How's your morning been so far?" Pacey asked.

"Actually…about that. I met this guy, and his name is David, and he kind of asked me to go to a movie with him tonight." Joey explained.

"So you're ditching me and Dawson?" Pacey asked, clearly hurt.

"No, no. I said he could come with us…is that alright with you?" Joey asked timidly.

Pacey thought for a moment, but he clearly saw the pleading in her eyes, he just couldn't say no to her, he never had been able to, "Yeah, yeah. Of course."

"Thanks, Pacey." Joey smiled her million-dollar smile at him. Just then class started. Nothing more was said to each other for the rest of the class, but after class was lunch, so they walked to the cafeteria together, and met Dawson for lunch. The trio didn't see each other again for the rest of the day, and they parted after school with out a word.

"Bessie! What are you doing?" Joey exclaimed as Bessie came towards her with something that looked like it was used to milk goats.

"It's an eyelash curler!" Bessie said, still trying to get it closer to Joey.

"Bessie, I'm going to a movie with Dawson, and Pacey." Joey said matter of factly.

"Then why have you spent the last hour and a half picking out clothes?" Bessie asked, but Joey had no time to answer, or change clothes again, because the Witter Wagoneer honked outside.

"Pacey's here…I guess I'll have to where this. Bye, Bessie." Joey said, walking out of the room in a tight black t-shirt, and a pair of jeans.

"Hey, Pacey, Hey, Dawson." Joey said, getting in to the Witter Wagoneer.

"Hey Jo," they said in unison.

"So where's this mysterious David kid?" Dawson asked from the front seat. Pacey was driving, and Joey was in the back.

"We have to go pick him up. He just lives down the road." Joey said.

"What? Jo…I said he could come…I didn't say I could pick him up!" Pacey whined.

"Pacey!"

"Joooo!"

"Pacey!"

"Fine. Which house is his?" Pacey said, starting to drive slower.

"That one, number 377." Joey said as David came bounding out of his door in a pair of tight, slightly ripped jeans, a tight t-shirt with "underoath" written on it, a band Pacey, Joey, and Dawson had never heard of before, his hair spiked only at the back, and his bangs completely over one of his eyeliner covered eyes. He had on a pair of black converse, and a studded belt.

"Oh god, please tell me this is the wrong house." Pacey complained, as Dawson just laughed, but not a happy laugh, more like one of those "Holy shit" laughs.

"Hey everyone, I'm David." David said, opening the back door to the very small backseat of the Witter Wagoneer. Dawson and Pacey shook his hands politely.

"Hey David." Joey said.

"Hello, Miss Joey." David smiled once again, and saw that Pacey had a look of disgust and pain on his face, but didn't say anything. He knew Pacey liked Joey…he could just sense things like this.

"Pacey…where are you going? This isn't the way to the Rialto." Joey asked suspiciously.

"Well, you invited a friend, so I thought I would too." Pacey said, pulling up to Jen's house, where Jen, Jack, and Andie came out and got in to the Witter Wagoneer.

"Hey everyone" the three of them said, and everyone returned the favour. Pacey, Dawson, and Jack were in the front, where as Andie, Jen, Joey, and then David, were in the back.

"Okay, well, sorry to break the akward silence, but I'm going to learn some names first. So I'm David, this is Joey…" David said, pointing to Jen next.

"Hey David, I'm Jen." She smiled, as David pointed to Andie.

"Hey David! I'm Andie! It's great to have someone new in our little social circle!"

"He's not in our social circle." Pacey mumbled, unheard by all, as David pointed to Jack.

"I'm Jack. Just to let you know in advance, I'm gay." Jack said.

"Oh, okay, it doesn't matter to me, I'm bisexual, I just didn't think it was important enough to tell anyone." David laughed. Everyone just stared at him, so he pointed to Dawson next.

"I'm Dawson." Dawson said, still in shock.

David didn't even half to point to Pacey before Pacey mumbled "Pacey."

"It's great to meet you all, I hope we become great friends." David said nicely.

'It's going to be a long night…a fucking long night…' Pacey thought to himself as he drove faster.
