During passing time, rumors and jargon had overflowed the hallways. It was the first day of school, but the students found plenty to talk about. For Dawson, Jen, Andie, and Jack, they only had one thing on their minds. They were astonished that Pacey was back here at Capeside High School.
"Why on earth is he back?" Jen asked Dawson.
"I don't know…" Dawson said hesitant.
"He didn't even look at us… Do you think he's hiding something?" Jen wondered.
"What could he possibly be hiding?" Dawson questioned.
On the other side of the hallway, Jack and Andie were having their own little conversation about Pacey's arrival.
"Why didn't he talk to us? Why didn't he come over to us? Why didn't he say hi? Why didn't he acknowledge our existence?" Andie rambled.
"Andie, do you think I know the answers to those questions?" Jack debated.
"Jack I didn't mean to corner you, I just… I just want to know why he is here." Andie declared.
As Andie and Jack were walking down the hall, they ran into Dawson and Jen. They could look into each other eyes and they could tell that they knew.
"So do you two know?" Jen speculated.
"About Pacey. Yes…" Jack responded.
However, the moment the four were together, they realized that something was different. This was the first time they were talking to each other since their separation.
Not knowing what to say, their eyes started meandering around the halls. This was the first time they were together and they weren't fighting with each other. Nonetheless, the moment was still uncomfortable.
All of sudden, the four of them found a new target to stare at. They saw Joey walking down the hall. She looked so unapprised. It was as if she did not know about Pacey's return. She out of the five of them (Dawson, Joey, Jack, Andie, and Jen) would be the most affected with his homecoming.
Joey looked up and saw Dawson, Jack, Andie, and Jen. She wondered why they were looking at her. Why were they talking as a group and acting as if nothing happened last year? Why did they exclude her from this?
Unannounced to Joey, her next class, would be the high light of her day.
Joey walked into Mr. Kimber's Creative Writing class. In the middle of the classroom, there was a crowd of students surrounding a desk. She did not want to be apart of that. For her senior year, all Joey cared about was passing all her classes and graduating high school. After high school, she wanted to get as far from Capeside as she could.
After the bell rang loud and clear, the teacher walked in and said, "Please students, have seat… What on earth is the commotion?"
After Mr. Kimber started heading to the group of kids, the horde of students moved from away from the desk.
Joey took one glance towards the chaos. However, the moment she turned around, her eyes widen. That one glance was one too many. It was Pacey Witter. The boy she had fallen in love with. He was the boy who impregnated her. Pacey was the climax on her life.
"Hi, Joey." Pacey whispered.
Furthermore, after that huge revelation, Joey left the classroom and she ran. She ran like the wind. This year was supposed to be easy for her. It was suppose to be a snap. Why was this happening to her? The first day of school was an eye-opener for her.
Author's Note: I want to thank you for all the reviews and once I start getting more prepared, I'll start sending chapters through emails like I did during previous stories. I'll tell you when I'm going to start it, but for the meanwhile, I'm looking at who sending reviews and what they are saying in their comments.
Author's Comment: Also, in this story, I would love to have suggestions for my story. Just tell me any suggestions through your email.
