Description: this is a story I have been working on for a while. This is my first Dawson's Creek story so take it easy on me, I'm rusty on my characters.

Disclaimer: I may not own the characters but this story is original and from my imagination.

Author's note: this is my first try at a Dawson's creek story, be nice to me please. This is a Pacey/Joey fic, my version of how they got together. Enjoy and review thanks :)

Chapter #3

(Joey's pov)

" Hey Joey, is everything alright?", asks Jen as we walk out of school together. With a shake of my head, I glance over at her. Is it that obvious that somethings on my mind? Ugh, I was hoping that no one would notice. The last thing I want to do is talk about Pacey and how he kissed me the other day.

" Yeah, everything's fine. Why?", I lie in attempts to end this conversation. Jen's not an idiot though, she's known me long enough to know when something is up with me. It probably doesn't help that I have been avoiding Pacey like the plague. I can't be around him, its too awkward now. Whats worse is that I can't get him or our kiss out of my mind no matter how much I try to.

" You sure? You've made yourself scarce lately. Could it have anything to do with a certain brown haired, blue eyed boy?", inquires Jen with a knowing glance. Oh crap, I'm dead. Jen knows? How does she know? Did Pacey tell her? Ugh, he is a dead man when I get a hold of him! Who else knows? Does Dawson or Andie? Oh crap, this is bad.

" Pacey told you how he kissed me, didn't he? I can't believe him! Who else knows, does Dawson?", I exclaim in agitation before running a hand through my hair. Great this day just went straight to hell. Why did pacey have to open his big mouth to Jen? Why couldn't our kiss have been kept a secret? I didn't want anyone to find out!

Placing her arm around my shoulder, Jen smiles knowingly at me," Relax Joey, Pacey didn't tell me anything. But you just did."

Frowning to myself, I unwrap myself from Jen's embrace," Its not something I really want to talk about."

" He was bound to kiss you sooner or later Joe.", remarks Jen we walk down the streets of Cape side Oh yeah because that is exactly what I wanted to hear. What the hell is that supposed to mean anyway? Does Jen know something that I don't? My head is starting to hurt. All I want to do is run home, climb under my covers and hide.

" What makes you so certain?", I ask for the hell of it. Maybe Jen can shed light on just what the hell is going on with Pacey. Everything was fine between the two of us up until he kissed me. Why would he do that? Is it possible that he likes me? No...no, Pacey doesn't like me. He just acted on an impulse that's all. That kiss meant absolutely nothing. (End Joeys pov)

(Jen's pov)

" Its not obvious? Pacey's got it bad for you, he likes you Joey.", I point out as if it weren't already clear. How could Joey not see how much Pacey is into her? What does the poor guy have to do, shout 'I love you' from the roof tops? God, I never knew one person could be so dense. I had no idea Pacey kissed Joey, good for him. He's only been struggling to tell her how he feels for a while, guess he thought it'd be easier just to show her.

" What are you talking about? Pacey doesn't like me.", insists Joey with a roll of her eyes. Wow, this girl really has no clue does she? How the hell can Joey not see that Pacey has a thing for her? The guy almost got himself suspended for her. I seriously hope that she's only in denial. There is no way Joey is this blind and naive

With a shake of my head, I can't help but laugh," you really are dense. He punched another guy, bought you a wall and named his boat after you. What else does he have to do Joey?"

At a loss for words, Joey sighs in frustration," True love has nothing to do with me, its about Andie."

" You really have no clue do you?", I question in amazement before once again shaking my head in disbelief. How can Joey not see the way Pacey looks at her? The guy would do just about anything for her. I don't get it, first Dawson, now Pacey? What is it about this girl that turns guys into love sick puppies? It has to be the whole girl next, tom boy thing she has going on for her. What else could it be?

" You know, I just remembered I have to be somewhere.", remarks Joey before taking off in the opposite direction. Sighing to myself, I watch as she disappears around the nearest street corner. Somebody seriously needs to knock some sense into that girl. Pacey is a really great guy, I don't she why Joey wouldn't like him back. Maybe she does but just refuses to admit it. Well, joey can't avoid Pacey forever. Those two are bound to hash out whatever is going on between them sooner or later. (End Jen's pov)
