As Joey unpacked, the door to her dorm opened and in stepped a blonde girl a little shorter then her. She stopped short when she spotted Joey.

''Hi, I'm Jen Lindley. You're Joey Potter!'' she exclaimed.

Joey smilied and shook her hand. ''Yes, we're going to be roomates.''

''Sweet! I hope you don't mind if I introduce you to all my friends.'' Jen said as she brought her suitcase to her bed and began to unpack.

''Nope. As long as they don't treat me like I'm royalty. I hate when people suck up to me. I came here to be normal and I want a normal college experience.'' Joey told her.

Jen smilied at her. ''Well then you've got the right roomate. I'll help you have the best year of college ever!''

After both had unpacked Jen decided to take Joey to meet her friends. They went to the room across the hall and knocked on the door. A blonde girl answered.

''Hey Jen what's going oh my god it's Joey Potter!" she exclaimed looking in awe at Joey.

''Andie this is my roomate Joey and she wants to be treated like a normal kid.'' Jen told her.

''Of course. It's nice to meet you Joey.'' Andie said sticking her hand out.

Joey took it and they shook.

''Come on we got to find the boys.'' Jen said as they headed to the stairs.

The dorms were coed but girls were on one floor and boys another. They arrived outside room 101 and Jen knocked. A tall boy with brown hair answered the door. Jen smilied at him and leaned up to kiss him.

''Joey Potter this is Jack Mcphee, my boyfriend and Andie's brother.''

Joey smilied at him and he turned to Jen.

''Isn't this the presidents daughter?'' he asked.

Jen nodded and pulled him across the hall to knock on the next door. A boy with long blonde hair answered and Andie leanded up to kiss him.

''Joey this is Dawson Leery, Andie's boyfriend.'' Joey smilied at him he smilied back stepping aside to let them in.

''Sorry about the mess on the right side of the room but it is not mine. Pacey has to clean it up but he went to get us food.'' Dawson told them as they sat down.

''Who's Pacey?'' asked Joey.

''He and Dawson grew up together in Capeside. Then I moved there and then Jack and Andie moved there and now we are all here in California.'' Jen said.

''Wow that's cool that you've all been able to stay friends'' Joey told them, wisfully.

''So Joey what's it like to be the presidents daughter?'' asked Jack.

''It's really boring. I didn't have a lot of friends growing up because of all the secret service my dad had everywhere around me. It got annoying after a while. It's really hard too because people are always watching me. I have to be on my best behavior at all times or it could mean bad press for my dad. In all honesty, I couldn't wait to get here. It's the only chance I have at a normal life'' Joey told them.

There was a silence until Jack said. ''Well don't worry Joey, we'll make sure your college experience is the best one and we won't treat you any different.''

The others nodded in agreement.

''Thanks guys. Oh look at the time I've got to go.'' Joey said standing up and heading to the door.

''Where are you going?'' Andie asked.

''My mom and dad want me to go to a banquet hosted by the dean. They said that if I went to this then they woulnd't make me do anymore presidental duties while I'm here. Or so they say.''

Joey waved to the group and left. Jen turned to her friends.

"She seems nice."

"Very." Andie agreed.

Dawson shrugged. "She seems like any other person we've met. Pacey better get here soon, I'm starving."

Jack smirked. "Same."

"Is that all you think about?" Jen demanded. "Your stomach?"

"No, I think about you."

Dawson and Andie rolled their eyes as Jen leaned over to kiss him.

As Joey was walking away from the dorm room, a boy accidently ran into her making them both fall to the ground. The boy quickly got up and helped Joey to her feet.

''I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. I was just trying to get this food to my roomate before it got cold.'' he said pointing to the pizza box on the ground.

''It's alright. I'm Joey Potter'' she said holding out her hand.

He took it saying ''I'm Pacey Witter.''

He bent down to pick up the box.

''So you're the famous Pacey Witter.'' she said.

Pacey looked at her and raised an eyebrow. ''You've heard of me.''

''Yeah I'm Jen's roomate and they said that you and Dawson grew up together.''

''Oh right yeah we did. So you're Jen's roommate, does that mean you will be around us a lot?'' he asked her.

''I guess.'' Joey said.

''Good. Hope to see you around Potter.'' Pacey said heading to the door.

''You too Witter.'' Joey said as she headed for the steps.

That night at the deans banquet, many people talked to Joey but her mind was focused on the cute boy with the bright blue eyes she had run into in the hall. She couldn't wait to run into him again and knew this year was going to be great.
