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 #10
(Pacey's pov)
" Pacey, should I be worried about you and Joey?", questions Dawson as he walks up beside me. What kind of a question is that? Why is Dawson asking about Joey and I? Does he know something? No, he couldn't know anything. Joey wouldn't tell him anything, she's terrified of him finding out about us. What the hell am I supposed to say?
" What about me ad Joey? What have you heard, has she said anything?", I ask nervously while slowly becoming paranoid She wouldn't say anything would she? What if Joey did though? What if she started feeling guilty about kissing me back a few days ago? Crap, I'm dead. I should have just come clean when I had the chance.
" No, relax Pace. I'm just concerned, you and Joey have been distant.", points out Dawson before dropping his bags at his sides. Oh, that's all he's worried about? Guess its kind of hard not to notice Joey giving me the cold shoulder as of recently. I don't get that girl sometimes. She kissed me, and now she's acting as though I don't exist. What is Joey's problem?
" Oh, so you've noticed too? The girl absolutely baffles me. One day we're fine, the next I don't exist.", I complain with an irritated huff. Joey confuses the hell out of me. Why would she kiss me and then go right back to ignoring me? Something had to have happened, the question is what? I want nothing more than to ask her, but I'm a little afraid of what her answer might be.
Throwing his camping supplies in the trunk, Dawson takes a sip from his coffee," You're still coming camping right?"
Leaning back against my jeep, I scratch at the back of my neck," Yeah sure. Got my tent and sleeping bag."
" Good, you and Joey can share a tent.", offers Dawson before closing the trunk of his car. I have to share a tent with Joey? Well isn't that just ducky. This should be an interesting camping trip. I wonder if Joey's going to avoid me the entire time?it will be kind of difficult for her to if we're sharing the same tent. This doesn't mean she has to talk to me though, I wish she would.

(Joey's pov)
" I have to share a tent with Pacey? He snores! This isn't fair, why can't I share a tent with Jen or Andie?", I groan in complaint when I walk up and overhear Dawson. Great I'm sharing a tent with Pacey? This is just my luck. I knew that I should have never agreed to come camping. Why did I let Jen and Jack talk me in to tagging along? This is bound to be an awkward weekend.
" I do not, that's a lie!", protests Pacey before regarding me with a scowl. Oh, please. Who is he trying to kid? How long have I known Pacey? Only ever since we were in preschool. The three of us used to have sleepovers for god sake Pacey would always wake me up with his loud snoring. I don't want to share a tent with him, its only going to make things awkward.
" Because I'm not bunking with Jack or Pacey, no offense. See? This is why you two need to share a tent. You bicker way too much.", remarks Dawson with a laugh and shake of his head. We bicker too much and you're making us share a tent? Well isn't that just a brilliant idea. Whose to say Pacey and I won't start arguing? There is actually a strong possibility of that happening if Pacey asks why I've been distant with him.
" None taken, you ready?", inquires Pacey before turning the keys in his ignition and starting the jeep up. Great, looks like now I have no choice. What am I supposed to do? Its not as though I can just change my mind and decide not to go. What would my excuse even me? Jen would never let me stay behind. Pacey's going to want to know whats the matter with me lately. This weekend has gone straight to hell.
Finishing he last of his coffee, Dawson tosses the cup out," Yeah, my cars full Joe. Could you ride with Pace?"
Sighing to myself, I kick at the ground," Do I have a choice?"
" No, now shut up and get in Potter.", answers Pacey in a cold manner as he opens the passenger door for me to get in. Risking a glance up at Pacey, I shudder at the irritation in his eyes. He's not exactly happy with me right now, that much is clear. I have a lot of explaining to do, I know. Its not all my fault though. A lot has happened since I last saw Pacey. Nothing that's really an excuse for avoiding him but I guess that besides the point. I just hope that he'll hear me out and won't overreact too much when I tell him whats been going on with me lately. ….(End Joey's pov)
