You couldn’t help but think of a better world. A better world for girls where they aren’t told what are suited for them and what not. It was your mothers fault that you thought of such things. She and other ladies all over Avonlea held secret gatherings, speaking of ways to change the oh so typical man world. Your interest in it began when one of those gatherings were held at your mother’s house. Your father had gone away for business, making it the perfect time. You sat on the stairway, watching all the ladies enter. You recognized Diana’s mother, Tillie’s mother and even to your surprise Jane’s mother. You watched them enter and be welcomed by your mother. When your mother had led in the last lady, she turned towards you. – “Y/n be a dear and go play upstairs…” – your mother said, motioning to you to get up. It was then that your mother noticed your little sister of five, playing between the coats. – “Poppy!” – your mother called out, pulling her from behind the coats. – “Take your sister with you!” – You got handed your little sister as your mother sighed loud. – “Mother…” – you started but swallowed your words back in at your mother’s voice. – “It won’t take long. This is important for mommy.” – you nodded, taking Poppy’s hand. – “Come Poppy, we can play with your dolls.” – you said to her while getting up the stairs.
With a glimpse over your shoulder, you saw your mother head into the living room. Poppy and you were playing in her room as you weren’t paying much attention. Poppy called it out as she presented a doll before you. – “Poppy!” – you called out, moving the doll out of your face. – “I’m thirsty…” – she whined out as you sighed soft. – “You will have to wait… we can’t go downstairs yet…” – you spoke as Poppy stuck her tongue out to you. – “Thirsty!” – she called out again, making you sigh even louder. – “Thirsty!” – Poppy shouted for a third time, throwing her doll into the air. You watched as she got up, circling around you while chanting; - “Thirsty, thirsty!” – Closing your eyes for a moment, you had to hold back any senses of yelling at her. Poppy kept chanting it out as you started to get agitated. – “Alright!” – you blurted out, jumping up. – “I’ll go see what I can do.” – you shot Poppy a glare as she gave you the most innocent smile ever. – “Stay here!” – you ordered her, before shutting the door behind you. Just outside her door, you took a breather. You loved your sister, but she could be very persistent from time to time. With a deep inhale, you made your way quietly down the stairs. In the hallway, you could hear your mother’s voice and someone else’s. As quietly as you could, you moved closer to the door that stood open on a shriek.
“What future will we give our children?” – you heard Ruby’s mother call out as you stood at the door, hiding. Peeking inside, you saw them all sitting down in a circle. Surrounded by treats and books. – “We are as much equal as our husbands!” – You heard your mother speak as it startled you a bit. You kept standing at the door, eavesdropping as you were captive by their thoughts. Their talk of equal rights and a chance for girls to speak their minds without being told it is out of her place, made your heart fluster. Imagine a world where being a girl isn’t less valuable. Not only being there to provide for the men but more. You jumped up, hearing that they were getting up. Without thinking you hid between the coat rack, pushing several coats before you. A moment later, opened the door, leaving loud chatter into the hallway. You held your breath as some coats moved away. Luckily, your father and mother had many coats from themselves already hanging there. You so hoped your mother wouldn’t find you between the coats. With the closing of the door, you breathed again. You heard some footsteps, presumably your mothers. Then her loud voice, echoed through the hallway. – “You can come down my loved ones!” – she shouted loud up the stairs. Once the coast was clear, you moved your head from between two coats, peering into the hallway.
Hearing Poppy run upstairs made you jump out of your hiding place. You waited for her to stomp down the stairs with loud thuds. – “Thirsty!” – she reminded you, making you roll soft with your eyes. You extended your hand to her, leading her into the living room.
You sat down at your desk beside Tillie at school. Miss Stacy had just finished writing something down at the blackboard, turning towards you all. – “I’d like to know what some dreams are of you…” – she spoke, folding her hands gently together. – “Dreams? Like what we dream of at night?” – Moody asked her, raising his hand. Miss Stacy shook her head with a smile. – “I meant what are things you want in your life. What would you want more than anything in the world, it could be everything…” – Miss Stacy noticed the frowned expressions on her students, making her exhale soft. – “Let me give you an example…” – she started to walk around, holding her finger against her cheek. – “If I could do anything in the whole wide world… I would like to…” – she kept thinking as Tillie and you giggled as she walked past you. – “Join the circus?” – She exclaimed making everyone laugh loud. Miss Stacy laughed as well, seeing everyone laugh. – “Really?” – Moody said as Gilbert shook his head. Everyone laughed even louder at Moody’s comment as he didn’t get it. – “She made a joke!” – Gilbert told him as Moody sheepishly chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. – “But you all understand where I was going with… so let’s give it a try.”
Miss Stacy looked at each sides, seeing that everyone avoided eye contact with her. Afraid to go first or be ridiculed by their dreams. – “Alright! I would like to make it clear that whatever your dream is, none of you are allowed to make fun of it!” – Miss Stacy’s words reassured some as Paul slowly got up from his seat. Everyone turned their heads towards Paul, seeing him nervously hold his head down. – “I…I…I…” – he started, fumbling his shirt nervously. Josie and Jane snickered loud as Miss Stacy shushed them. – “It’s alright Paul…” – Miss Stacy told him, glaring at the girls for laughing. – “I… I would like to become…” – he continued, swallowing soft. – “A policeman!” – he spoke, shooting his head up to look directly at Miss Stacy. – “And I’m sure you will!” – Miss Stacy encouraged him. Paul smiled goofy, looking around him as everyone clapped loud. Billy patted his mate on the back whilst Paul seated himself down again. Diana shot up, glancing nervously at Anne. – “I would like to do another play some time…” – Diana spoke, sitting down directly afterwards. – “I’ll speak to Miss Lynch about that… who knows what we can arrange.” – Diana smiled as Miss Stacy gave her a proud smile. Gilbert got up with a clearing of his throat. – “I want to become a doctor…” – he spoke, letting his eyes drift away towards you. You clapped loud for him, smiling him encouraging.
Ruby jumped up with a squeal. – “I want to get married someday!” – she squealed out, making Miss Stacy chuckle soft. – “I’m sure you will Ruby…” – Ruby then seated herself down again. Josie followed her movement with a sigh. – “I have no dreams because I have everything I want!” – as quickly as she stood, she sat down. Miss Stacy blinked confused, turning her attention to anyone to fill the sudden silence. You locked eyes with her as you bit your lip nervous. Miss Stacy motioned gently to you to get up and speak. With trembling knees, you pushed yourself up. – “I…I…” – you started but cleared your throat nervous. Looking around, you saw everyone’s curious eyes fixed on you. – “I… I … want to travel the world and…” – you started to silence your voice to a bare whisper, seeing everyone look at you. – “and… be as bold as Miss Stacy…” – you added, your cheeks turning red with a blush. – “Well I feel honoured Y/n!” – Miss Stacy said, smiling proud at you. Her soothing voice made you smile up to her. – “You want to become like her?” – Josie pitched in, getting up again. You turned back towards her with a big swallow. – “What is so wrong with that?” – you questioned, seeing Josie scoff. – “And travel the world? don’t be absurd!” – she laughed out.
Miss Stacy tilted her head a bit, keeping herself on the background. She wanted to see where this was going before interfering. – “It’s not absurd! It’s not because you are so small-minded that we all are!” – you spoke to her with a bit more confident. – “Small-minded?” – Josie repeated between clenched teeth. – “At least I know my place!” – she slammed her hand against the table, starling those around her. – “Your place?” – you rephrased with a question, wanting her to enlighten it more. – “A woman’s place is with her husband, by his side, where he is. Not being so reckless as to travel around!” – Josie spitted out. Miss Stacy folded gently her arms, curious to how you would respond to it. She noticed Gilbert shooting her glances to stop this before it get’s out of hand. She calmly held her hand up to him, telling him to wait things out. – “Women aren’t defined by their husbands!” – you shouted back at her. – “We can do as we please! There is more to the world then obeying men!” – Your fist started to tremble from rage as you had enough of this small-minded, brainless talk. – “Well talking like that won’t make anyone marry you!” – Josie mocked out with a witty smirk. It made all the girls gasp loud as Gilbert had enough of this. – “I’d marry her!” – you suddenly heard someone yell out from the other side. Glancing over to your side, you saw Gilbert standing up, his hand firm on the table. – “I’d marry her in a heartbeat!” – he confessed, making you gape with a blush at him.
Gilbert came walking over to you, taking your hand when he was near you. – “I would marry her and even encourage such thoughts as she is right…” – Gilbert gave your hand a little squeeze, giving you a shock to breathe again. Josie scoffed, folding her arms furious. – “So, shut up Josie!” – Gilbert spoke to her, making Josie gasp loud. Miss Stacy couldn’t help but snicker, seeing Josie being silenced. Josie sat grumpy down, knowing she was beat. Gilbert inhaled deep, turning more to you. – “You would?” – you whispered to him, curious if he was only helping you out or speaking the truth. – “More than anything, Y/n…” – he whispered back, entangling his fingers with yours. – “So, don’t go handing out your heart to anyone else…Y/n, I would very much like to marry you in a few years…” – Gilbert confessed, not caring if anyone could hear him. You gasped surprised as he brought your hands to his lips. – “I’ll wait for you…” – you replied, smiling lovingly at him.

Gilbert and you were best friends for as long as you could remember. He was the moon to your sun, the leaves to your tree, the air to your lungs. You couldn’t imagine life without him, it was no surprise that you started to fall in love with him. Gilbert was a wonderful person who constantly putted you before himself, he would always check first if you were alright before checking up on himself.
You were the one thing in his life he couldn’t life without, if he would ever lose you, he knew he would break apart and probably cry his eyes out and slowly die. Gilbert and you had found a special place deep in the forest, hidden from others. There was a magical place by the left end of the forest where a huge willow tree stood. It’s low hanging leaves almost touching the ground as you and Gilbert spent many hours hiding behind the leafy curtain.
It had become your meeting spot and if you couldn’t find each other you knew that was the place the one would be. The two of you were glad that you found that magical place as it felt you were on a different place, sometimes far away from your life troubles. You were waiting patiently behind the leafy curtain of the willow tree as your hair blew gently with the wind.
You let your hang back as you listened to the leaves moving from the wind, for a moment everything was perfect. It was quite warm underneath the leaves and the wold around you moved peacefully. You heard some branches snap and it disturb the harmony in your ears, you tilted your head back to the front as branches kept being snapped.
You heard some distant mutter and seated yourself better as you expected Gilbert to arrive, it was only when you heard another voice you started to feel nervous. The other sound was softer than Gilbert’s that you could recognise anywhere but this… this new voice made you curious to why Gilbert would bring someone else to your special place.
You tried to look between the low hanging leaves of the willow tree as you saw Gilbert’s shoes with next to him a new pair of … girls shoes? You frowned deep as it showed wrinkles on your face as you didn’t expect a girl. You noticed a hand moving towards the leaves as it moved it out of the way, to make an opening. – “Y/n?” – you heard Gilbert say confused as the girl came standing next to him, peering through the curtain of leaves.
You ignored his look as you turned your gaze to the girl in seconds, - “Ruby!” – you almost shouted. – “What the hell are you doing here?” – Gilbert ignored your question and gestured to Ruby to enter, she walked in and stood in front of you as you looked up to her. – “I think I asked you a question?” – you said slightly judgemental.
Gilbert also walked in and smiled at Ruby who looked confused at him. – “I thought you said you wanted to show me YOUR special place!” – Ruby emphasized as she let her eyes go quickly to you. You were still confused to why Ruby would be here with Gilbert as he casually continued the conversation like you weren’t there. – “I didn’t think she would be here?” – he said to her as he took her hand.
You gasped loud as you saw Gilbert take her hand and Ruby stroking it soft, - “Gillie can’t you make her go away, I wanted to be alone with you so we can …” – at the last part she winked at him as you felt your jaw drop to the floor, you were offended that they talked about you like you weren’t there and that Gilbert might have something with Ruby.
Gilbert couldn’t supress a dirty smile as he squeezed her hand, he then sighed and lowered himself to the same height as you. – “Y/n uhm can you maybe leave?” – you were totally blown away by the way he said it, he said it like you weren’t important anymore. – “Why? I was here first!” – you snapped back as you weren’t going to let Gilbert talk to you like that. He sighed again as he looked brief over his shoulder up to Ruby who was tapping her foot impatient against the ground.
“Y/n come on… just this ones go home!” – Gilbert slightly raised his voice as you got up to your feet, furious that he would chose her over you. – “Are you really kicking me out, for her? What are you dating or what?” – Gilbert also got to his feet and wanted to react, but Ruby beat him to it, - “Yes, so you better be gone in a few seconds or Gillie here will have to use force.
You gasped in an unbelievable tone as you gave her a mean glare, - “For your information! This is MY special place and not yours so, you can’t tell me what to do!” – you had moved closer to Ruby as you pointed her back with your stern finger. – “Enough!” – Gilbert shouted, - “Y/n just go home!” – you felt powerless that Gilbert chose his new girlfriends side instead of yours.
The realisation started to kick in as you had to hold back your tears, you swallowed the knot in your throat down as you held your head high and walked out but not before bumping hard against their shoulders. You threw the curtain of leaves open and walked out like you could care less but inside you were crying.
They both rubbed the pain area as they both seated themselves down and enjoyed each other’s company. You tried to stay strong but half way your lip started to tremble and your knees shaking, you fell to the ground as you grasped the dirt tight. – “How could he do this to me?” – you looked away angry as you pressed your lips together preventing you from crying.
You felt betrayed, abandoned, empty and rejected. The one person that you loved with all your heart had just send you away from your special place and wanted to spend it rather with Ruby than with you. Your lip was trembling so hard that you couldn’t control the tears that started to roll down your cheek like a water fountain. You started to cry out loud as your body moved up and down in shocks from the intensity.
“Gilbert! You stupid… stupid… Gilbert!” – you cried out loud between your breaths as you tried to gasp for air. You felt frustration come up again as you pulled yourself to your knees and just started to scream as you pushed your fists deeper into the dirt. You heard several birds fly up from their hiding place as they were startled by your screams.
Your body started to shake again, and you let yourself fall on the ground again as you pulled your knees close to you, laying in a foetus position. You felt saver as soon as you were crawled up, you kept sobbing as you felt your heart go dozy and cold. You wanted to hate Gilbert for what he did but that huge part of you that still loved it, wouldn’t allow you to hate him. Your heart didn’t mind turning your hatred towards Ruby as she was the cause for everything.
“I hate that blonde tiny cockroach!” – you cursed loud as you got up to your feet, you didn’t want them to find you like this. You started to move towards your house again as you kept cursing underneath your breath several hateful things about Ruby. You didn’t know how you got home but somehow you were laying in your bed. You kept staring at the ceiling as a black mist pulled itself over your heart, making you all feel cold and sad.
It was the final drop! Your heart couldn’t take anymore as it had shut itself down from every happy feeling in your life. It made you all dreary and sad, you barely smiled or interacted with others. At school you avoided everyone as you hated everyone for being so happy when your heart was smashing in by Gilbert’s words.
Hate followed you gently as you saw Gilbert and Ruby in the distance being all sweet, you couldn’t bear to look at them as you turned your head to the ground. The ground was more fascinated than to watch your heart tear more open. You let yourself slide against the school building as you noticed Gilbert tried to break himself from Ruby’s grip.
Ruby kept trying to grab his arm as he kept pulling it up until she couldn’t reach it anymore, you didn’t give it much attention. Gilbert came walking in your direction as Ruby kept trying to stop him, - “Ruby let go! I’m just going to talk to Y/n…” – Gilbert kept saying as he kept moving his arm, so she couldn’t take it. – “No! you’re not! Gillie please stay with me…” – she kept begging him as he got slightly annoyed by the nickname ‘Gillie’, it made his name sound like a girl’s name and a variant of her last name.
Gilbert could finally escape Ruby’s constant calling for attention as he made his way over to you with his head low. He was running several conversations in his mind as he wanted to apologize for last night. – “Y/n?” – you slowly lifted your head at the mention of your name, but you quickly rolled your eyes at the sight of Gilbert. Gilbert wanted to sit himself down in front of you as you replied in a cold tone. – “Don’t bother!” – you got up yourself and started to turn your body, ready to leave as Gilbert paused you by stepping in front of you.
“I have a feeling you are still mad… and … and you have every right to be…” – Gilbert started as you looked at him with dull, sad eyes. – “Clearly!” – you snapped back and pushed him aside, he watched you walk past him as he grabbed your hand. – “Y/n I just want you to listen to me?” – “and I want you to leave me alone!” – you snapped at him as you pulled your hand out of his grip. – “Besides I think your Girlfriend is calling for your attention!” – you said with a look as you flipped your hair back and walked away from him.
Gilbert didn’t know what else he could do so, he let you walk away as he felt his heart break. He never meant to hurt you and now your relationship seemed beyond repair. He took a deep breath as he started to make his way back over to Ruby. – “Gillie!” – she squealed as she jumped into his arms, covering his face with soft kisses. Gilbert just let her be as his thought were drifting away towards you.
For the rest of the day you avoided Gilbert and his attempts to mend things with you. Gilbert felt you slip through his fingers as he tried to desperately hold on to you. He had never felt so lonely in his life no matter how many times Ruby overwhelmed him with kisses on his face or held his hand. He closed his eyes for a moment as he tried to hold himself from crying, - “Gillie?” – her voice pulled him back from his silent moment as he pressed his lips hard together at the mention of that stupid nickname.
He rather heard you call him ‘Gil’, that always seemed to light up his heart whenever you called him that. He turned his head slowly towards her as she started to play with his hair, - “Is everything alright Gillie?” – he felt a punch in his stomach as he heard that nickname again, - “I’m fine Ruby… I just …” – Gilbert looked up and noticed you walking inside as he found his opportunity to say he’s sorry for his behaviour. Ruby kept gazing at him as she waited for the rest of his sentence, - “I just… need to … do something…” – and without a warning, he got up and ran inside to talk to you.
He saw you near the blackboard as you were about to grab the blackboard cleaners to dust them off as you suddenly felt someone pull you to the teacher’s room close to the blackboard as you were being pulled by your arm. You were being pushed inside as you turned around angry that someone dared to grab you like that, Gilbert had closed the door behind him and stood his ground before the door.
You turned your head away at the look of Gilbert as you had no interest into talking to him. Gilbert moved a bit closer as he started his apologize, - “Look Y/n… I’m sorry for how I reacted yesterday. I should have never make you leave with pressure and force…” – you pressed your lips hard together as you hoped he would say something else. – “Can you please forgive me?” – he begged you as he tried to grab your hand.
You pulled your hand back at the touch of his as he was completely clueless, - “Y/n I said I was sorry why are you still angry at me?” – you had to press your lips harder together as they almost started to look white but you knew if you didn’t do it, your lip would started to tremble and you didn’t want to cry in front of him. – “I thought we could be friends again?” – he said soft as he hoped an apology would do it. You moved away from him as he offered you his warm hand, Gilbert scoffed loud as you ignored all his attempts to mend things.
“What is wrong with you? How long can you hold a grudge? I said I was sorry why can’t you accept it like a normal human being?” – Gilbert yelled at you as he kept waving his hands angry around, you tried to hold back your tears, but it was getting harder and harder as you could already feel your lip tremble soft. – “Y/n! do you want me to beg more? Am I supposed to get on my knees and beg for your forgiveness? Is that it? – he snapped at you as you couldn’t control your tears anymore.
Tears started to roll down your face as Gilbert hardly noticed and kept going, - “You are the one that is being distant and all? I want to be your friend again, but you seemed to not want it anymore? Why are you shutting me out!” – his yelling echoed in your ears as you started to cry harder, Gilbert suddenly paused as he noticed you crying.
You wiped some tears away, but it was no use as they kept streaming down your face, you ran past Gilbert and swung the door open, rushing outside. Gilbert called out your name, but you were too far gone to hear it. Gilbert let his head fall back against the wall as he pushed his fist against him, he had no idea why you were reacting like that, but he wasn’t going to up that easily.
He rushed outside and when he didn’t notice you on the school perimeter first he started to slightly panic. He felt arms go around his back as he looked down and saw the red sleeves of Ruby around him. – “Is everything alright Gillie? You have been acting strange?” – he cringed at that nickname again as Ruby moved in front of him. – “I thought it was…” – he said soft as he looked over Ruby’s shortness, - “but now I’m not so sure…”
You kept running blindly toward the only place you felt save, the willow tree. You forgot for a moment that Ruby had invaded your sanctuary with her presence as you needed to support of the willow tree. You arrived at the willow tree and moved the leafy curtain aside as you rushed inside and crawled up against the bark. The wind was making the low hanging leaves move gently back and forth as you couldn’t take it anymore, you wanted Gilbert to stop loving Ruby and love you, but he kept thinking you were still mad about how he behaved.
It did still bother you, but it wasn’t the big issue, seeing him happy with Ruby was as you had hoped many months that it maybe could be you. You started to cry even more at those thought as you knew he could never be yours. Your heart had fallen to pieces as you felt like you had lost everything, you didn’t hear the approaching footsteps as you could only hear your own crying.
You suddenly heard your name and saw a vulnerable Gilbert in the leafy curtain, you quickly wiped your tears aggressively away as you didn’t want to talk to him. You wanted to get up and leave as Gilbert noticed it so, he quickly walked in and pulled you back to sit down as he held your wrists. You tried to pull your hands back as Gilbert kept holding them.
“Y/n… stop I… I … just want to know what is going on with you?” – he called out as you heard some desperation in his voice, you turned your head away from him as you didn’t want to look at him, it hurt too much. – “Y/n… let me help you… whatever is bothering you, we can overcome it together?”
“Not this time…” – you said soft as you slowly dared to look at him with your puffy, red eyes. – “Tell me? Y/n I get the feeling I’m losing you and that there is nothing I can do about it?” – you let your eyes go down to your wrists as he was still holding them. – “Please, tell me?” – he lowered his head, trying to look in your eyes as you heard his voice break.
You took a deep breath as you had to tell him eventually, you kept looking down as you were afraid of his reaction. – “I … I … I’m acting like this because of …” – you paused for a moment as Gilbert squeezed your hand soft, letting you know it was alright to continue. – “Ruby…” – you said soft and Gilbert stopped squeezing your hand and looked at you with big eyes. – “Ruby?” – he repeated.
You felt stupid for ever telling him this as you knew he was going to laugh at you. – “I know Ruby was a little harsh yesterday but normally she isn’t like that.” – Gilbert said soft as he tried to justify her actions. – “I don’t think you understand Gil… bert!” – you snapped back at him, - “Ruby is the problem! Because… because…” – “How can Ruby be the problem, I know she acted harsh yesterday but that doesn’t mean she is responsible for your behaviour?” – Gilbert still didn’t seem to get it as you now wished you had kept your stupid mouth shut.
“Just forget it!” – you replied harsh as you pulled your hands back and crossed your arms, so he couldn’t grab them anymore. – “No, Y/n we are going to get to the bottom of this because I won’t lose you over some indifference.” – Gilbert called out loud as he started to get frustrated. – “Indifference?” – you spitted at him, - “This isn’t about that!” – “then what is it about?” – Gilbert called out frustrated as he moved his hands in the air.
“Because I love you!” – you suddenly shouted at him, Gilbert’s jaw dropped to the floor as you got up furious. – “It’s about you being with Ruby! I can’t stand to look at the two of you while my heart Is breaking into a million pieces but what should you know?” – you started to pace angry around as Gilbert still couldn’t believe that you said that you loved him.
“And yes, yesterday’s action was the final drop for me as I didn’t know who you were anymore!” – you were on a roll as you wanted to let out all those frustrations and anger. – “I don’t think we can be friends anymore as you and Ruby are together it’s too painful for me!” – Gilbert suddenly awoke from his trance as he also got up and was wide awake, - “What? No, … no, you are not ending our friendship over this!” – he called out at you.
“So, you don’t care how much it breaks me?” – you raised your eyebrow in a sceptic way as you couldn’t be friends with him while he was dating Ruby, it was just too painful for you. – “Gillie?” – both of you suddenly heard and Gilbert snapped as Ruby popped her head between the leaves. – “Enough! I’ve had enough of hearing that disgusting nickname!” – he screamed out as it startled you, Ruby started to breath quick as she cried in seconds.
Gilbert held his hands against his face as he didn’t know anymore, he was losing you and his heart couldn’t take it, but he also felt relieved for finally telling Ruby how much he hated that nickname. Ruby let go of the leaves and started to run away. He groaned loud as you were shocked by his reaction. You had never seen him snap like that and especially not against Ruby.
You thought Gilbert was losing his mind as you wanted to give him some space, you had told him about your feeling towards him and you knew nothing would change his mind as you didn’t feel needed anymore. You started to make your way to the entrance as you walked past him, Gilbert noticed it and freaked out. – “Y/n! don’t you dare leave me!” – he called out as he grabbed your wrist and pulled you back to him. You bumped against his chest as he suddenly pressed his lips onto yours, you panicked and wanted to pull away, but Gilbert wouldn’t let you for some reason.
He released his lips soft from each other as he wanted to kiss you more passionate. You knew this was wrong since he was still with Ruby but every fibre in your body kept being pulled close to him, like his body was a magnet. You copied his movement as you wanted to feel his lips onto yours, you couldn’t let go of the feeling that busted inside of you.
You felt his hands go around your body as he pressed you closer to him, you squealed soft as he pulled you closer. After what seemed ages for you he released his lips from yours and you could finally breath again. Gilbert rested his head against yours as you tried to catch your breath, - “What have you done?” – you said soft as you didn’t want to be known as the one who tore them apart. – “I think it’s obvious Y/n?” – Gilbert said in a sweet tone as you were surprised his anger had disappeared.
“I know … but … why?” – you said soft as Gilbert moved his hand to your chin and let his thumb rest there. He started to smile bright as you were getting worried he might have lost his mind. – “I thought it was obvious, Y/n?” – you frowned deep as you really thought he had lost it. – “You love Ruby… why would you kiss me?”
Gilbert let his thumb go briefly over your lips as you kept gazing at him, - “I think knowing that I was losing you made we realise how much you mean to me… more than Ruby…” – you gasped soft as you started into his hazel brown eyes. – “Gil, please don’t taunt me…” – he started to chuckle soft at that specific nickname as it rolled over your lips. – “I’m not, Y/n … I’m choosing you!”
You gasped again as he chose you over Ruby, you thought he loved her, but it seemed to him that he loved you more than her. – “I love you Y/n!” – he called out in such a sincere tone that it made you shiver, - “I love you too…” – you replied as he started to smile soft and tilted your head, pressing his lips back onto yours.

Being the youngest sister isn’t that easy, and especially not when there is only one school. You had to go to the same school as your sister Ruby and all the others of her age. Even though you were just one year and a half younger than him, you felt like someone who fell out of the boat. There was one girl who was the only one older than the others but that was a whole different thing, everyone looked up at her. No one ever looks up to the youngest one, you felt like the littlest duck in the class.
Most of them threated you as child, they forgot you were just one year and a half younger than them. This also meant that you sometimes had a hard time with keeping up with their pace, your brain couldn’t handle some mathematics or difficult words. It frustrated you that you had to keep up with their pace or everyone would laugh at you. Your sister tried to help you out as much as she could but even she wasn’t a school wonder.
The only one who was super smart was Gilbert Blythe, it was as he was wasting his time at school because he could learn everything all by himself and still score high. You admired him a lot and had wondered a lot to ask him for help, but you were afraid that he might laugh at you for being dumb or something. You decided to postpone that thought until you were at the brink of collapsing under the books.
You were in you room laying on your bed with four books scattered all around your bed. You kept turning page after page from different books as you wanted to understand what today’s lesson would be about. you started to panic a bit once you only saw difficult words and strange drawings that was supposed to look like math. You sighed loud and just closed every single book one by one, - “This is hopeless…” – you said to yourself as you pushed the books off your bed, you didn’t want to look at them again.
The books fell with loud thuds on the floor as your sister Ruby entered the room. – “Y/n are you almost…” – she paused her sentence as she saw the books scattered all over the floor. – “Are you at war again with your books?” – she said as she came in and started to collect them. – “Maybe…” – you replied as you watched her place the books on your desk. – “Why don’t you ask for help?” – Ruby asked you as she took your hands and pulled you up from your bed.
You sighed soft as he didn’t want to admit it that it was getting harder for you. – “I’ll figure something out!” – you called out and Ruby gave you a look as she didn’t believe you. – “If you need me, just shout, Y/n…” – she leaded you towards the door as it was time to get to school. Before she pushed you out of the door, you quickly rushed back into your room and grabbed 2 books from your desk.
Ruby closed the door behind you as you were standing next to her again, you looked brief at the books in your hands and placed your head on them as you hoped you could follow during class. Both of you rushed downstairs and you placed the books in your basket and seated yourself down the table to have a quick breakfast. Your mother moved her hand over your hair as she gave you a quick kiss against your forehead.
Ruby looked quick at the clock and jumped out of her seat, still having a piece of bread between her teeth. She took it from between her teeth and spoke fast, - “We have to go, Y/n!” – she then placed it back and putted on her coat as you got up and dragged your feet to your coat and basket. Your mother waved the two of your goodbye as Ruby waved happily back.
On the way to school Ruby was telling you all about how much she adored Gilbert and if he would notice her new hair look. You acted like you listened, but you were panicking inside that you hoped you wouldn’t be tested today. Miss Stacy was a wonderful teacher but the things she sometimes explained seemed like a foreign language to you. The closer you get to school, the more it felt as you wanted to run away.
Ruby ran towards her friends as you knew they didn’t like it when you were there when they talked about ‘mature’ things. You sighed deep as you started to make your way over to the school building as the boys were playing football, you seated yourself down against the wall and just stared in front of you. Gilbert who was playing with the boys paused for a moment and walked over to Billy. – “Blythe we are playing! Why are you pausing?” – Gilbert just sighed and explained to him that he thought it was a good idea to invite you over. – “You serious? You want Y/n to play with us?” – Gilbert nodded soft as he looked brief at you.
“No way!” – Billy called out, - “Football is for boys, not for little girls!” – Gilbert sighed deep as he was a bit disappointed in his behaviour. – “Fine than I’ll just go over to her and talk!” – Gilbert than walked away as Billy called out his name again because now he had a player less. You had to blink a few times as you saw Gilbert walk over to you. – “May I?” – he asked you as he pointed at the spot in front of you.
You nodded soft, still confused that he would come over to you. If Ruby saw this, she would have squealed loud and shout in your ear that you had a moment with him. you watched him sit in front of you as you felt nervous around him. – “how are you, Y/n?” – he asked you as you swallowed deep to avoid any high-pitched tones. – “Go... good, how are you?” – you replied as you were glad it came out in a reasonable tone.
He chuckled soft as he noticed the books in your basket, - “Are you studying these?” – he asked you as he took a big heavy book from your basket to examine the cover. You nodded shy as he frowned at the cover, - “Y/n this is way too hard for you…” – he said calm as he kept looking at the cover and back. You started to get a bit angry that he thought you were dumb or something, so you grabbed the book from his hand and placed it back. – “I am very smart!” – you shouted back at him.
He was surprised for a moment but soon chuckled again as you exclaimed that. – “I never doubted that Y/n…” – he said soft as you still felt like he was ridiculing you. – “My uncle gave me this book to help me out with studying because he thinks I need it since I can barely follow or anything…” – “you need help with studying?” – Gilbert interrupted you as you hated yourself for telling him that. – “No…” – you replied bossy as he chuckled again at your behaviour.
“Y/n, you can be honest with me?” – he said soft as he lowered his head a bit, to look at you clearer. You tried to keep your lips sealed but you knew you were collapsing underneath all those fancy words and difficult problems. You sighed deep after some moments, - “Gilbert can you help me study? I …I … I feel like the walls are closing in on me, … I barely understand a subject fully as we are already on the next one…” – you let your head fall in the palms of your hands as you felt ashamed for being so dumb.
Gilbert pulled your hands down as he gave you a sweet smile, - “Y/n I would love to help you study… but why didn’t you ask me before?” – you shrugged your shoulders soft as you had no idea why you were ever afraid of calling for help. – “I’ll help you out but first…” – he started as he moved his hand towards your basket again, - “No more difficult books!” – he took the big heavy book and placed it on his lap. You wanted to say something, but he paused you by speaking again, - “Even I don’t understand this book, Y/n so I don’t think you are dumb or anything but this…” – he picked up the book again and showed it to you, - “This is way too hard…”
You smiled soft at him as you felt relieved that Gilbert would help you study. – “I’ll pick you up after school!” – he called out as he stood up and reached his hands out to you, you took them and let him pull you up. – “But…” – you started but he shushed you by placing his finger against your lips, - “No but’s, I’m picking you up after school and we’ll study at my place… I know we won’t be disturbed there.”
You gazed at him for a moment as he removed his finger from against your lips, the school bell than rang and Gilbert smiled sweet at you as he made his way over to the entrance. He paused halfway as he looked back at you, - “Are you coming Y/n?” – he called out as you blinked a few more times and hopped towards him. Gilbert chuckled soft and waited for you to walk inside.
During class you tried to pay as many attentions as you could, after a while you thought your head would explode from all the unknown words that would swirl around your mind. Miss Stacy asked everyone to gather around the table as everyone rushed quickly to get a good spot. Everyone was faster than you and you were standing in the back as you couldn’t see anything with all those taller people in front of you. Suddenly you felt someone pull you towards him and push you to the front, you looked over your shoulder and saw Gilbert standing behind you with his hands on your shoulder.
He gave you a quick wink as it made you swoon inside, you then looked back in front of you as you had a good view of the table. Gilbert kept standing behind you and if he noticed that you couldn’t follow he would whisper the explanation of it short to you by using simple words. You started to understand it more as Gilbert whispered the easy version in your ear, his breath sometimes tickled your skin as you thought it felt nice on your skin.
During lunchtime Gilbert stayed inside as he was looking for good books in the teacher’s room. He kept looking at each book and scanning each cover if it would be a perfect book to help you study. He barely had time to eat as he wanted to help you out, he kept biting from his bread in between movements. By the time lunchtime was over he had collected six or seven books, he walked out of the teacher’s room and arranged with Miss Stacy that he could borrow them.
For the rest of the time you tried to keep up with everyone’s pace but you felt the walls closing in on you, you felt like giving up at some point but then you remembered that Gilbert was doing his very best to help you, you couldn’t give up on him now so, you pushed yourself to continue even if you only understood half of it.
School was finally over, and you walked with your sister home as your head was full of weird words and difficult sketches of math problems. You didn’t tell Ruby that Gilbert was coming to pick you up at your house or she would have asked, you to come along and that was the last thing you wanted. She would only get in the way and besides you wanted some alone time with Gilbert as you had a small crush on him but never dared to engage on that out of freight of Ruby.
As soon as you got home, you collected all sorts of books and placed them in your basket. You barely took off your coat and ran back downstairs with a heavy basket full of books. Your parents frowned at your behaviour as you only told them that you were going to play with a friend. Ruby found it weird that you were waiting in the hallway, you were sitting on a bench in the hallway as you waited for Gilbert to arrive.
You heard a knock on the door and called out that it was your friend as you opened the door a bit and before Gilbert could walk in you rushed outside and pulled him back with you. He didn’t have the chance to say goodbye to your parents as you were already walking back towards the woods with him again. Gilbert decided to let it rest as he figured it had something to do with Ruby, he noticed your basket full of books and chuckled soft as he thought it was cute how much effort you putted in it.
During the walk the basket got too heavy for you to carry as it almost fell out your hands. – “Allow me…” – Gilbert spoke as he helped you lift the basket again and took it from you. He placed it in his left hand as the weight didn’t do him anything, you gasped soft as you admired his strength. – “We’re almost there, Y/n” – he said soft as he suddenly took your hand and leaded you under a low hanging branch. You felt yourself blush at his touch as you saw the top of his house already in sight.
Gilbert welcomed you in and took your coat, you seated yourself down as he walked back in with your basket. He placed it on the table and then walked away, he came seconds later with his own stock of books. – “Are those all for me?” – you asked him soft as he seated himself next to you, - “Yes, and I expect you not to know any of these in one day so, if you don’t mind I think we’ll need to come together a lot more…”
You started to blush again as you looked nervous at the table, - “I don’t mind…” – you replied soft as Gilbert was already picking a first book, you frowned at the cover and knew this was going to be hard for you, but Gilbert helped you a lot. Soon as you were already half way the first book, Gilbert got tired of sitting down so he had leaded you to his living room where you were laying on his carpet next to the fire place. Slowly you started to understand things as Gilbert was excited for you, you were laying in front of him on your stomach as he laid the same with the book in his hand.
After a while as you both were a bit tired of studying, closed Gilbert the book and placed it next to him. – “I’ve we keep up this pace, I’ll think I’ll have to get more books as I never want this to end…” – you smiled shy as he started to run his fingers through his hair, - “Let’s take a break than?” – you suggested as you seated yourself better.
You wanted to grab the book and Gilbert noticed it as he moved his hand towards yours, before you touched the book he let his fingers get in touch with yours. You looked nervous at him as you let him move his fingers through yours. He was touching them in a gentle and soft way as your stomach started to tingle. You had to supress a squeal as you didn’t want to sound like your older sister Ruby, you just pressed your lips together as he finally placed his hand in yours and pulled your hand close to him.
“I’m really grateful that you asked me to help you study, Y/n…” – he said soft as it sounded like a whisper, you licked your lips soft as you heard wood crackle beside you. – “I’m glad I did…” – you replied as Gilbert took the book again. You frowned as you thought you were going to take a break, he held the book close to his face as you only saw his eyes. – “Gilbert, I thought we postponed our study session…” – you said to him as you moved your head closer to him and lowering his book with your finger.
Gilbert saw that you were close enough now and he dropped his book on his lap and grabbed your face. He pulled your face closer to him as he pressed his lips onto yours seconds later, you were shocked for a moment but let him kiss you as you felt yourself surrender under his love. He pulled away moments later and looked shy at the book on his lap, he only looked up when you called out his name and placed your hand on his knee.
“I liked that very much…” – you replied uncertain as you had no idea how to react on a kiss. Gilbert chuckled soft, - “Me too, Y/n… me too…” – you took his hand again and watched the fire dance on the wood as Gilbert turned himself better, so you could let your head rest against his shoulder. You did, and Gilbert let his head rest against yours, - “Can we study again tomorrow…” – Gilbert asked you as he enjoyed this moment. – “I’d like that very much…” – you replied as you pulled yourself closer to him.
Gilbert smiled in instant as he couldn’t wait to see you tomorrow and the days after to help you study and perhaps sometimes steal a kiss from you as he loved you very much. He never knew he did, but this experience made his mind clear about his feelings towards you.

You had just moved to Avonlea in the hopes to give your one-year old child a better home. You were pregnant at a very unusual age, you don’t like to talk about the father since he left you as soon as he found out that you were pregnant. He tricked you into sleeping with him and broke your heart once you were pregnant, it made you wonder if he ever loved you.
The only good thing about your past was your one-year old child: Lily. You had named her after the first flower you saw on your trip to Avonlea. You were very conflicted about her name, but you had found the perfect name for her. “A new start, a new life!” – you thought as you held her in your arms.
You parents were ashamed of you and had thrown you out of the house once they found out about Lily. You really didn’t care since they never really cared for you. You wanted to continue your education, but you could never take Lily with you. You had heard from some people that you could hire a nanny and so you did.
You hired a nanny to look after Lily as you are going to school. Sometimes you missed the presence of a man in your life but then you remembered the tragedy of your child’s father that you were glad he wasn’t around. The two of you were happy and were perfectly fine on your own.
You were preparing the final details for the nanny to look after Lily. – “If she cries you have you to give her this.” – you handed her a little toy. You then started to run around the room searching for all sort of things to give her. – “Don’t forget to feed her every three hours!” – you heard Lily squeal as she was sitting on the ground, underneath a blanket.
“Oh, sweetheart” – you said soft as you picked her up. – “Mommy is going to miss you too.” – you kissed her little hands soft as you nearly started to cry, it was the first day in months that you had to leave her alone. You gave Lily to the nanny as you had to go to school. – “Be a sweet girl…” – you kissed her forehead as she started to reach out to you with her little hands.
You swallowed deep as you had to leave her, - “I’m going to miss you so much!” – you whispered at her as you kissed her little hands again. You then took a deep breath and made your way outside, as soon as you left Lily started to cry soft, knowing that you were leaving her.
You heard her cry as you closed the door behind her, for a moment you thought about running back inside and forget about going to school but you couldn’t. you had to think about your future, your education was going to help you a lot in the future and Lily as well. You bit your underlip as you tried to hold back your tears. – “I’m sorry…” – you whispered as you grabbed your necklace in your hand that had her name on it.
You kissed it brief as you felt your heart break for leaving her alone, for so long. You took a deep breath and tucked it away for no one to see. – “First day of school, here I come!” – you said proud as you started to walk towards the woods.
The whole time you were walking towards school you tried to think of Lily as little as possible, knowing that you would cry your eyes out. – “You are going to have a great time and when you get home Lily will be waiting for you!” – you said to yourself to encourage yourself. You noticed you were close as you saw several children of your age walk in the same direction.
You paused for a moment as you saw the school building, several children were playing outside. Some boys were throwing a ball at each other as some girls were walking together and giggling alongside each other. You took a deep breath and made your way in.
The teacher was already setting some things ups as she noticed you. – “Ah, you must be Y/n?” – you nodded shy as she signalled for you to come closer. You walked over to her and she placed her arm around your shoulder. – “Now, Y/n you will be sitting over here.” – she leaded you to an empty seat, you seated yourself already down as she smiled soft. – “You can play outside for a few moments if you like?” – “can I stay inside, please just for the first day?” – you asked her as you felt quite nervous.
Miss Stacy nodded soft and made her way over back to her desk to continue preparing as you looked around the classroom, admiring the looks of it. Suddenly a boy walked in and walked straight to Miss Stacy. – “Miss Stacy, I wanted to ask you something…” – he paused halfway as he noticed you sitting down. He frowned and walked over to you. – “Good morning are you new here?” – you looked up and met up with his hazel brown eyes.
You nodded shy as he started to smile soft. – “Gilbert Blythe, and you are?” – he extended his hand to you and you shook it happily. – “Nice to meet you Gilbert, I’m Y/n!” – he smiled soft as he looked at you. – “A beautiful name for a beautiful girl.” – you started to blush soft at his remark as he left your desk again and walked over to Miss Stacy.
Soon all the other students walked in and all frowned at you as they had never seen you before. They started to whisper at each other as you tried to ignore their staring. Grabbing your hidden necklace gave you the strength to keep going. Gilbert had noticed you grab for something hidden around your neck and found it cute that you did something like that.
“Who the hell are you!” – a blond girl said as she slammed her hands against your desk, startling you for a few seconds. – “Y/… Y/n.” – you stuttered short as she kept glaring at you. – “Josie Pye remember the name as I rule this school!” – she moved her head closer to you as you backed away, swallowing soft. – “I know everything and if you ever cross me, well…” – she gave you a devious smirk as she pulled her hands of your desk.
You breathed again as she walked back to her desk. She was someone you didn’t want to piss off. During class Gilbert kept looking at you as you were all standing around Miss Stacey her desk. You were standing on the right of him with several people in between, Gilbert moved his head more to the front to look at you. You had noticed it and looked shy back, you weren’t the only one since Josie had also seen it and threw some dagger looks at you.
During lunch Josie’s jealous kept progressing as Gilbert walked shy in your direction. – “Can I sit with you, Y/n?” – he asked you shy as he looked at the ground. You said a soft yes as Gilbert seated himself down next to you. He then reached into his basket to grab something. – “Would you like an apple? there from my Orchard.” – you nodded soft as you took the apple from him, your hands touched and both of you started to blush.
You tasted the apple and was surprised by the sweet taste of it. – “This is really good!” – you said between your bites. Gilbert smiled sheepishly as he felt himself fall for you. The two of you kept talking about anything and everything. You told him almost everything, you kept Lily a secret to him since you really started to like him, and you didn’t want to scare him away.
“You know Y/n that subtle thing you did when you grabbed… I think a necklace, or something is really sweet.” – you gasped soft as he had recognized your subtle move. He noticed you felt shy about it and apologized. – “I didn’t mean to upset you… I just thought it was cute…” – Gilbert bit his underlip soft as he felt nervous for asking. – “It’s alright…” – you replied shy as you placed your hand on his shoulder.
Josie who was sitting further away with Ruby, Prissy and Jane kept glaring at the two of you. – “That little tramp is here one day and already get’s her dirty hands on Gilbert!” – Ruby whined soft as she felt her heart break, since she liked him. – “Don’t worry Ruby, I’ll teach her a lesson! There has to be something about her that I can use to mock her!” – Josie had wrapped her arm around Ruby who kept whining like a little child.
As school ended you said goodbye to the people that you had befriended today as you were glad to see Lily again. Little did you know that Josie intended to follow you home, - “Where are you going?” – Jane would call out as Josie followed you, Josie turned around and gave Jane some cold dagger looks for almost exposing her intentions. Jane immediately stopped talking and walked over to Prissy and Billy to walk home with her siblings.
Josie kept following as she moved from tree to tree, hiding out for you. She was determined to find a dirty secret about you and expose it to the others. You kept walking without your knowledge of Josie following you, you took your necklace from it’s tucked position as you kissed it soft again. – “Just hold on for a few more moments, Lily mommy is almost home…” – you said soft as you continued walking.
Josie pretended to vomit as she saw you kiss some necklace and say some unknown words. – “She’s so weird!” – she said to herself as she kept following you. You ran to the front door as you were on your property. You swung open the door and took Lily in your arms from the nanny. – “I’ve missed you so much…” – you said as you took her little hand, her fingers wrapped tight around your finger as she squealed happy that you were here.
Josie had sneaked up to the window and tried to look inside, she saw you kissing a child as a grown up started to put on her coat. She noticed the person was heading for the door, so she ducked away but still close by. – “She was a sweet girl, Miss Y/L/n!” – the nanny said as you stood in the door opening with Lily in your hands. – “Tomorrow same time?” – you asked her as she nodded soft. – “You have a beautiful baby, she is so kind and has a heart of gold.” – the nanny said before walking away.
“Hear that Lily, she thinks your wonderful, but mommy already knew that!” – you gave her soft kisses at her belly as she started to laugh sweet. Josie gasped for a moment as she couldn’t believe her ears that you had a child, her shocked face turned in seconds into a devious one as she had found the perfect way to mock you. – “That’s what you get for flirting with Gilbert!” - she said between her teeth as she watched you walk in again.
The next morning you said again goodbye to Lily as you made your way back to school. You were hoping to see Gilbert again as you felt yourself drawn to him, he was different than other boys you’ve met and certainly not someone like the father of your child. You walked into the class smiling but soon stopped as everyone looked at you.
“If it isn’t Y/n or should I say mother of a little baby!” – everyone gasped as they couldn’t believe it. – “Y/n is a mother?” – Ruby asked her confused. – “Yes, I saw her yesterday with her child, I knew Y/n was a little tramp and look at this!” – Josie laughed hard as some students kept staring at you or your stomach finding it hard it process that you have a child.
Josie got almost everyone to laugh with her as she kept mocking you for having a baby at a younger age. You kept looking at everyone as they kept laughing at you, you then locked eyes with Gilbert who was looking at you but different than the others. He was looking at you as he wished you had told him before.
You couldn’t take it anymore, so you ran outside as tears started to stream down your face. – “I’m never going back!” – you shouted as you kept running away. Gilbert reacted in seconds as he saw you ran away, he clenched his teeth and gave everyone a piece of his mind as he had enough of their mocking. He then grabbed his coat and started to run after you, hoping to comfort you.
You kept running and crying as you felt like your events from the past repeated itself. You thought you could have a new life, but it fired back at you as now everyone was laughing about you being a young mother. You were thinking about leaving Avonlea again as you couldn’t handle the mockery and the taunting.
As soon as you got home you dismissed the nanny and took Lily in your arms. You fell to the ground and kept crying as you pulled her close to you. – “I’m sorry Lily… I’m sorry!” – you felt guilty for throwing away your future, but you couldn’t handle it anymore. Josie’s outing hit you hard as it felt like you were being punched in the heart. Lily kept squealing as she tried to comfort you, she felt that you were sad and wanted to cheer you up.
She touched your face soft with her little hands and you started to laugh soft between your tears. – “What would I do without you…” – you said soft as you kissed her forehead soft. You froze once you heard a knock on the door. You got up thinking maybe the nanny had forgotten something but as you opened the door with Lily in your hands you found Gilbert at your doorstep.
You freaked out and wanted to slam the door in his face before he could see Lily, but he slammed his hand against the door, preventing it from closing. – “Y/n wait… I’m not here to laugh at you!” – you stood hidden behind the door as Gilbert tried to open it further. – “I wanted to make sure that you were alright…”
“I’m fine so you can go now!” – you called out as you kept preventing him from opening the door further. – “Y/n can I please come in, I don’t mind that you have a child.” – Gilbert sighed deep as he ran his hand through his hand. – “Can I please come in! I want to make sure you are alright!” – you opened the door slowly as Gilbert could now see you and your child.
To your surprise reacted Gilbert to your child in a sweet way, he tickled her soft as he greeted her. – “Hello little one.” – you kept staring at the display as Gilbert than looked at you. – “What’s her name?” – “Lily.” – you replied as you leaded him inside. Inside you leaded him to the living room as Gilbert placed his arm around your back. – “Are you alright?” – you nodded soft and placed Lily on her blanket.
You then took his hand and seated him down next to you. – “Gilbert I’m so sorry, I …” – Gilbert stopped you as he smiled soft at you. – “you don’t have to apologize. Josie was wrong to out your secret like that!” – he started to get angry again as he thought about the events from earlier. “She had no right to do that and I don’t mind that you have a child, Lily is quite cute.”
Gilbert gave her a funny look as she started to squeal happy. You laughed soft at the kindness of Gilbert around Lily. You kept talking with him some more as suddenly Lily started to cry, you kneeled beside her and let your finger go over her arm. – “Your hungry aren’t you sweetie?” – Lily kept crying soft as you got up and made your way over to the kitchen but before you left the room you turned towards Gilbert.
“Do you mind watching her for a few moments, I have to prepare her bottle, but it won’t take long?” – Gilbert nodded as you left the room. Gilbert than placed himself on the ground next to Lily as he took her on his lap. – “No need to cry Lily” – he said to her in a sweet voice. – “Mommy is preparing diner.”- Lily started to stop crying as Gilbert held her in his arms, she wrapped her little fingers around his finger and Gilbert started to smile bright at her cuteness. – “You are just as cute as your mother.” – he whispered to her as he placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Lily then stopped crying and Gilbert placed her little feet on his lap as he held her tight around her waist. He started to make funny sounds as he lifted her not high in the air and placed her down on his lap again, still holding her.
Lily started to laugh as Gilbert kept moving her up and down while pressing his mouth against her tummy, making a ticklish feeling inside of her. You heard the sounds and decided to have a quick look, you stood in the door opening almost crying as Gilbert was playing so sweet with your child.
Gilbert had noticed you and stopped playing with Lily as he picked her up and made his way over to you. – “she’s a real sweetheart!” – Gilbert called out as he gave her an Eskimo kiss against her nose. – But so are you!” – Gilbert then placed a kiss against your cheek as you felt yourself blush.
Lily started to reach out for you as Gilbert handed her over to you, you took her and kissed her forehead soft. – “Y/n please don’t stop with school!” – Gilbert suddenly asked you as he kept stroking Lily’s arm. – “I liked it having you around and it would be a shame if you left because of Josie.”
“I want to stay but… the others…” – you replied shy as you sighed deep. – “I will gladly fight them of if they ever mock you or Lily again.” – Lily squealed again as you placed her better on your arm. – And…” – Gilbert suddenly looked shy and started to play with his sleeve. – “If … if I may … I would like to spend some more time with you and Lily?” – he lifted his head shy as you stared right into his hazel brown eyes.
“I would like that… very much.” – you said, and you only noticed you were crying as Gilbert wiped some tears away. Gilbert then kissed your sleep as he pulled you close, it was like Gilbert’s presence was what you were missing all those years and you weren’t ashamed to show him the real you with Lily.

Forever Tag: @hanbinwsrt, if you’d like to be a part of my forever tag let me know.
You’ve never been to any kind of party in your life. Yes, you’d been to some small gatherings where your parents were but never a ‘real big’ party. You were more than thrilled when Diana gave you some big news.
“We can really go?” – Anne said overwhelmed. Diana nodded “Yes aunt Josephine has invited the entire class to her party!”.
You and Ruby grabbed each other’s hand and squealed at the thought of going to a real party.
“The entire class?” – Josie spoke as she stepped in between of you and Ruby. “Yes” – Diana replied as she held her hands together.
“I can’t believe your aunt would invite our entire class, there are obvious people that aren’t … classy enough” – Josie looked at Anne like she was nothing.
Ruby and you crossed both your arms and scoffed at her. “I guess you’re not coming then!” – Diana also crossed her arms and looked at Josie stern.
“I never said that!” – Josie scoffed “I was merely pointing out the truth”.
“no one asked you for your opinion, Josie” – You snapped back at her “So you either apologize to her or you’re not coming along.”
“You can’t be serious?” – Josie really wanted to be at that party, but she would never apologize to Anne. So, she was left with no choice but to apologize so she could still go to the biggest party ever!
“Fine” – she snapped “I’m sorry Anne”. Ruby and you giggled behind her since Josie never apologized.
“Thank you, Josie,” – Anne replied as she took a small bow.
Josie then rolled her eyes and walked away, stepping between Ruby and you and bumping hard against each of your shoulders.
Diana took some envelopes from her basket and walked over to you “Y/n will you help me hand these out?”
“I’d love to, Diana” – you replied as you took a part of her stack of envelopes. “Alright You hand them out outside and I’ll do it inside”.
You nodded and started to walk outside to hand everyone an invitation to the party.
You first approached Moody who stopped near you to grab the ball.
“Moody” – you spoke “Diana’s aunt Josephine has invited the entire class to her party”.
“She did?” – Moody replied as he had picked up the ball and held it under his arm.
“Yes, here is the invitation” – you handed Moody one envelope and he gladly accepted it.
“Thank you, Y/n,” – Moody patted you short on your shoulder “I can’t wait”.
You then continued to hand out some invitations. You’ve given out almost every invitation but there was still one person that you needed to give one. Gilbert Blythe.
You saw him sitting on a bark with a book in his hand. You were trembling as you approached him.
You’ve like Gilbert for a long time, he’d never like you back. Why would he? You were just an ordinary girl.
“Gil …. Gilbert?” – you tried to stop your voice from stuttering. He looked up from his book and frowned as he saw you standing in front of him.
“Y/n?” – his voice was soft and sweet “Is there some….” – you interrupted him “Here’s your invitation!” - you held the envelope in front of him, not making any eye contact with him.
“Uh … Thank you Y/n” – his hand trembled a bit as he took the envelope from your hand.
“What’s it for?” – he asked you confused as he examined the envelope.
“Diana’s party” – Gilbert gave you a confused look “I mean not Diana’s party, her aunt Josephine she has invited the entire class to her party. It’s said to be a big party, I wouldn’t know of course since I never went to any …” – you noticed Gilbert was having a hard time following you. “I’m talking to much again, Am I?”
“Just a bit” – he replied as he measured it between his fingers.
You laughed at bit shy “Sorry”.
“No need for that” – he replied as he placed the envelope on his leg.
You wanted to walk away again but he cleared his throat which made you stay put a little longer.
“Uh … Will you be there … at the party?” – he asked you trying not to stutter or make a fool out of himself.
“Me? Uh … of course … I mean the entire class is invited so…” – you bit your lip soft, you always did that when you were nervous.
“Right … Obvious” – he replied as he laughed sheepishly “I knew that…”
“I’ll see you then, goodbye Gilbert” – you spoke quick as you waved him goodbye and walked away.
You stopped as you were around the corner and breathed deep out.
“Idiot that you are” – Gilbert said to himself angry as he opened his book again “Of course Y/n is going to be there, so is the entire school”
He sighed deep and cursed at himself for being such an idiot.
You walked back inside straight to Diana “All handed out! – you said cheery as you stopped by her side.
“Good thank you Y/n, I knew I could count on you” – She placed her hand on your shoulder and smiled.
A few days past as finally the day of the party arrived. You had meet up with Diana, Anne and Ruby at Diana’s house.
“Is this dress good enough?” – you asked Diana nervously as you showed her your dress.
“More than perfect, Y/n” - she replied as she looked to you from behind Anne, who’s hair she was doing.
Ruby walked into the room “Can you help me out with my bow, Y/n?” – you walked over to her and started to fix her bow.
“How is that?” – you asked her as you held a small mirror in front of her.
She laughed shy as she saw herself in the mirror, it was the first time she ever looked like this. That could be said for all of you, you wore all the most beautiful dresses and Diana had done everyone’s hair.
Ruby her hair was braided together, Anne had little flowers in her braids and your hair had curls in her it that was being held together with a bow.
When Diana was finished with Anne’s hair she looked at the three of you and almost cried “You are so beautiful”
The three of you smiled shy and moved a piece of your skirt around.
“Let’s go then, we can’t be late for the train” – Diana grabbed her hat and tangled her arm around Anne’s, she tangled hers around Ruby’s and you around hers.
Diana aunt Josephine lived in Charlotte’s town which meant everyone had to travel by train to get there.
The train ride was an adventure on its own. The first time all of you travelled alone without any parents to supervise.
“how will the party be?” – you asked Diana as she sat before you. Anne and Ruby were playing a little handclap game to pass the time.
“Aunt Josephine’s parties are always unforgettable and life changing. I’ve only been to a few when I was smaller, but I remembered how everyone talked about it.”.
You started to dream away. Hoping, wishing that your first party was going to be one you wouldn’t forget.
The nerves started to kick in when the conductor whistled to let everyone know they had arrived in Charlotte’s town.
“I’m so nervous, I could jump out of my skin” – Ruby squealed as she walked next to you.
“Me too, I wonder if they play any games?” – you squealed also as you grabbed Ruby’s hand trying to control your nerves together.
A man opened the door and accepted your invitations that Diana and you had handed out at school a few days ago.
All four of you followed the man inside and immediately you all gasped. “This is even better then I imagined” – You squealed as you pinched Anne’s hand tighter.
“I absolutely agree Y/n, no words can describe what I feel right now” – Anne replied as she pinched your hand back.
“Diana my dear” – Aunt Josephine said as she held her arms open, Diana ran towards her and hugged her aunt.
Aunt Josephine then looked at the three of you. “Anne, Ruby and Y/n welcome” – she bowed her head light and the three of you curtsied.
“Come … come” – she said as she pushed the four of you to the actual party “The party is over here”.
Immediately when you walked into the huge party room, several people placed a flower crown on each of your heads by the entrance.
You all looked at each other and giggled as you felt all like princesses.
Anne, Diana and Ruby all ran towards Tillie, but you kept standing where you were. You had locked eyes with Gilbert who was sitting next to Cole across the room.
He smiled shy at you and you acted all shy and almost bumped into someone else as you tried to hide your goofy smile.
“There you are, Y/n” – Diana said as she took your hand and dragged you towards the others.
Gilbert had followed your movement as Diana dragged you to the other girls, he thought you looked more beautiful than ever. Not that he didn’t think you were beautiful without the fancy dress and flower crown. Your new outfit made you just stand out that little more.
The party was going very well, you’ve danced with Anne, Diana and Ruby and tasted the most exquisite food.
Aunt Josephine stepped on a small stage and she cleared her throat and stumped her cane a few times against the floor.
Everyone stopped talking and looked over at her. “I’d like to thank you all for coming, this party has been going very well by now but let’s have some fun”.
Everyone started to look at one another and frowned. “who’s ready to play some games?” – Aunt Josephine called out loud.
Everyone started to cheer and clap their hands as they were excited to play a game.
“Quickly everyone in a circle” – she ordered as she motioned a circle in front of her with her hands.
Everyone started to sit down or rush towards a good spot, bumping into each other and pushing a way through the crowd.
As they were all seated, Aunt Josephine stepped inside the circle and placed an empty bottle in the middle.
“Are we going to play truth or dare?” – Moody asked as he had raised up his hand.
“Even better, 7 minutes in heaven” – she replied as she winked at him.
Everyone started to whisper to each other. What was this game? And why did it look like aunt Josephine was having a blast.
“The rules are simple if the bottle points at you, you have to have 7 minutes of heaven with the one who turned it” – she started to explain.
Moody raised his hand again “What do you mean by 7 minutes?”.
Everyone started to murmur as they also had no idea what she meant by that.
“well Youngman, it means you will go inside the closet” – she pointed at the door of a small room. “and in there you and the chosen person will have 7 minutes of heaven, so you can do whatever you like. You can give each other a kiss in there” – all the girls started to giggle as the boys made themselves larger.
“or you can just have a nice talk or tell a secret, you can really do whatever you like”.
Everyone then started to look at each other and whisper.
“Alright who’s up first?” – aunt Josephine spoke, clapping her hands together that startled everyone.
“how about you Youngman?” – she pointed at Gilbert. “M… Me?” – he stuttered as he pointed at himself.
She nodded and gestured to him to spin the bottle. Gilbert cleared his throat soft as he reached for the bottle with trembling hands.
He rotated the bottle with his hand and waited to see where it would stop.
Everyone crawled a bit closer as they were all eager to know where the bottle would stop and then it stopped. It had stopped on an unusual place, Gilberts eyes widened as he gaped at the bottle that was pointing towards you.
You also gaped at the bottle and it was like you were frozen, you were awoken from your trance when aunt Josephine pulled you up and walked with you to Gilbert who she also pulled up.
“Enjoy” – she said winking as she pushed the two of you in a to small room that could never fit two persons.
You stepped on Gilberts foot as he bumped into you, the room was so small you were pressed against each other with inches of spare room.
“Sorry” – you muttered as you apologized for stepping on his foot.
Gilbert tried to give you some space since he felt nervous being so close to you, so he moved backwards a bit but quickly bumped against the door. You were standing close to him, so you were pulled forward and bumped against his chest as he moved back.
He quickly grabbed your shoulders as you almost lost your balance “You … You alright? … Y/n” – he asked you nervous.
“I … I think so” – you replied back moving a bit back, making Gilbert fall forwards.
This room was definitely too small for two persons. It made you wonder if this was done on purpose.
“Hang on” – Gilbert spoke as he held you tight by your shoulders, figuring out a good position to which both of you could stand steady.
“There” – he said after a few moments of struggling to not step on your foot or squeeze you against the wall.
“There” – you replied soft back. The only light in this tiny room was a small electric bulb that hanged on the ceiling.
It gave you enough light to see each other but not clear enough to see anything around you.
“So …” – he started holding his hands nervously against each other.
“So …” – you replied as you bit your under lip.
“How … How are you … enjoying the party Y/n?” – he asked you as he ran his fingers through his hair.
“Its … its nice” – you replied looking shy at your feet or the darkness for you couldn’t see anything but Gilbert.
“Oh, let me fix that for you” – Gilbert spoke suddenly as he raised his trembling hands towards your head.
You backed your head a bit when you saw him come closer to you, “I’m just going to fix your crown” – he spoke as he noticed you backed away.
You stopped moving and let his hands touch your head as he placed the flower crown in the good position on your head.
“Perfect” – he said as he smiled like a fool.
“Thank you, Gil….” – your eyes widened, and you immediately corrected yourself “I …I mean Gilbert”- you bit your under lip again as Gilbert played shy with the end of his shirt.
“Y/n … - Gilbert started but he was interrupted by a sudden stomp from the door against his back and Gilbert fell against you.
His lips fell onto yours as he fell forward, you were being smacked against the wall behind you as you felt Gilbert lips touch yours.
Your eyes looked shocked as Gilbert still had his lips onto yours, Gilbert also looked shocked at you, but the room was too small for him to change position.
Gilbert then closed his eyes as his hands supported him by pressing against you, you did the same as you felt a little spark inside of you. The kiss was now more natural and not forced anymore.
“uh … time’s up, children” – aunt Josephine spoke as she tried to open the door more of the small room, but Gilbert’s body was in the way.
Both released yourself from the kiss, Gilbert couldn’t stop smiling as you couldn’t stop blushing.
“Are you alright in their children?” – Aunt Josephine spoke again as she tried to pop her head between the door.
“Were fine” – Gilbert replied to her, he then looked at you “More than fine, actually”.
You blushed again and looked shy as the ground.
The two of you squeezed yourself through the door. “There they are” – aunt Josephine spoke as she helped you out of the closet.
You both shared a quick look before you seated yourself again.
“So how was it” – Diana asked you curious as Anne and Ruby nodded in confirmation.
“Let’s just say it was unforgettable” – you then looked over at Gilbert as he was staring at you. Once he saw you look at him, he smiled like a fool and played with the end of his shirt.
Diana was right aunt Josephine’s parties were unforgettable and life changing

A/N: I know I said, I couldn’t upload anymore for a few days but I simply wanted to upload this one. I’m actually leaving in an hour or two so I’m thrilled to upload this today before I go on my holiday ♥
Gilbert had just saved you from the wrath of Billy. He was there just in time before things got more out of hand. Well besides your sleeve being ripped off by Billy.
Gilbert helped you to your seat and then returned to his own. He hoped you were alright, crying on your first day isn’t exactly attractive to find new friends.
Lucky for you, you met Anne in the woods and she introduced you to Diana. Both tried to help you out with Billy, so you knew you could count on them.
Billy was still angry for that punch Gilbert gave to him. His cheek still looked red and he rubbed it annoyed.
Mr. Phillips the teacher entered the classroom and seated himself in his chair as he pulled out some stuff from his bag.
He looked up and noticed Billy with a red cheek and a girl he had never seen before with one sleeve.
He scoffed and closed the book he had opened “Well, well” – he said as he got up and walked over to you. “What do we have here.”
You didn’t really like the tone he had in his voice, you sank a bit lower in your seat as he approached your desk.
“What is your name new girl?” – he had a weird look in his eyes, it was like he was going to enjoy whatever came next.
“Y/n… Y/n, Y/L/N …” – you stuttered, you hated that all eyes were on you.
“Well Miss Y/L/n, are you trying out a new fashion or are you that poor that you can’t afford another sleeve?”.
You immediately turned red and sank even further in your seat as several students laughed.
“I asked you a question?” – Mr. Phillips said, getting angrier and eager to humiliate you more.
“It’s from her granny” – Billy shouted out loud. “Shut up!” – Gilbert shouted back, turning around in his seat to look at Billy. Mr. Phillips turned his head towards the commotion and smiled devious.
You thought your humiliation was over, but it had just begun. “Miss Y/n” – Mr. Phillips said in a stern tone. You stopped breathing for a moment as you were surprised by his sudden outburst.
“Up!” – he said, moving his finger up. You swallowed and tried to avoid eye contact.
“I said get up Miss Y/L/N” – his stern tone more effective than before. Out of fear you stood up and held your body as still as it could be.
“In front of the class now!” – he pointed his finger to the chalkboard but didn’t keep his eyes from you.
You stepped from behind your desk and started to walk to the front, shaking and terrified while Billy made some dog noises “Woof … Woof”
“Mr. Phillips!” – Gilbert said, trying to get his attention. He held his finger up and didn’t even look at Gilbert.
You stood in front of the chalkboard with your face towards it. “Turn around!” – Mr. Phillips said still with the stern tone in his voice.
You turned around ready to face everyone. You saw Billy, some boys and girls laugh as hard as they could.
This was the worst day of your life. You had been called out and humiliated in one day.
You felt tears come up as you watched everyone laugh even Mr. Phillips.
Some teacher you thought, he was supposed to help his students but instead he joined the bullying.
“Everyone take a good look at this dreadful girl” – he said as he took your bare arm between his finger and looked at you like you were trash.
“That’s enough” – Gilbert shouted, slamming his chalkboard against his desk.
“Mr. Blythe!” – Mr. Phillips replied furious “I suggest you stick to the learning”.
“And I suggest you stick to the teaching!” – he replied as he gave him a stern look with a smirk.
Everyone started to laugh since Gilbert was the only one who had ever said something back to Mr. Phillips.
“Out!” – he shouted at Gilbert as he saw everyone laugh. He was determined to let no one see he could be humiliated.
“If you kick him out, you must kick me out too” – Anne said, standing up and crossing her arms.
Gilbert gave an approval look as she nodded. You weren’t the main attention now, but you still had a hard time controlling your tears.
“Hey Granny” – Billy shouted at you and you were the main event again. “looking good up there”.
Everyone started to laugh again but Mr. Phillips was still busy with Gilbert and now Anne who joined him.
“Out both of you!” – he shouted, pointing towards the door.
“If you do that, then … you’ll have to … kick me out as well” – Diana said standing up nervous, hoping she didn’t make a mistake.
She wanted to stand by your side, but she was also afraid of what her parents would do if they knew about her little rebellion.
Anne smiled happy and hugged Diana quick.
Mr. Phillips sighed and turned towards you. You gasped as you saw him walk over to you.
“I determine order at once.” – he said as he stomped a book hard against the chalkboard. Gilbert, Anne and Diana seated themselves again.
He seated himself down on his chair with his feet up the desk.
You were still standing in front of the class and you couldn’t control your tears anymore.
You started to cry soft. Mr. Phillips raised an eyebrow as he heard you cry soft.
“Looks like she’s a crier too” – everyone started to laugh.
“Should I rip off the other sleeve, not that it’s going to help but just in case” – Billy shouted at you, mocking you.
Gilbert slammed his fist against the desk and everyone stopped laughing immediately.
He got up and walked towards you. Mr. Phillips was surprised “Mr. Blythe back in your seat now!”
Gilbert ignored him and kept walking towards you.
“Mr. Blythe!” – he shouted angry “I said back at you seat, now!”.
“No!” – Gilbert shouted once he stood beside you “I’ve had enough of this”.
You wiped some tears away as Gilbert reached out to you and pinched you soft in your arm. He did it to show you, you are not alone.
You smiled at him and he looked at you like you were the most beautiful girl in the world.
Mr. Phillips stepped angry to Gilbert and stopped in front of him.
“Back in your seat, Blythe” – he spitted “only ripped sleeve over there stands here” – he then pointed at you without looking.
“Fine” – Gilbert said. He looked at you quickly and winked.
You smiled shy back as you had no idea what he was about to do.
Gilbert took one sleeve in his arm and ripped it off. Everyone gasped as Gilbert pulled of a sleeve of his own shirt.
Even you, you gasped with your hands in front of your mouth. Mr. Phillips couldn’t laugh with it and grabbed Gilbert by his arm.
“Listen to me, you troublemaker. You think this is funny?”
“No sir. I only stand by Y/n’s side. The one you won’t defend.”- he said with a smirk.
Mr. Phillips grabbed his arm tighter and raised his hand, ready to hit him “What will everyone think when they find out how you treat your students?” – Gilbert added as he kept eye contact.
The entire class was silent and shocked. He looked around quick and let go of his arm once he saw everyone whisper to each other.
Even Prissy looked at him with disgust. Anne and Diana clapped cheery when Gilbert had defeated the teacher.
Billy was now quiet and looked bored with his head resting in one hand as everyone around him cheered for Gilbert’s victory.
Mr. Phillips rushed to his private room and didn’t came out of it for the rest of the day.
Gilbert then walked over to you and held your arm. “You alright Y/n?”
You smiled as tears fell “Thank you”
Gilbert wiped some tears away with his thumb as he stared at you.
“I … I can’t believe you did that for me?” – you said, still surprised that Gilbert had ripped off his sleeve.
“Oh this” – he said looking at his bare arm “consider it as an act of heroism for the most beautiful princess” – he bowed short and placed a soft kiss on your hand.
“but still, thank you Gilbert” – you said wrapping your arms around him.
He hugged you back and whispered in your ear “No one will ever harm you again Y/n, I promise”.
You took a deep breath and pulled him tighter.
Anne and Diana rushed to your side. “Gilbert” – Diana said smiling “I can’t believe you did that?”.
Gilbert laughed shy as he kept his eyes on you.
“That was the most heroic thing I have ever seen” – Anne said overwhelming.
“Why did you do it?” – Diana asked curious.
Gilbert smiled and grabbed your hand “I thought it’s better to be different with two than alone.” – he pinched your hand soft “And of course I had to impress Y/n somehow.”
You started to blush and so did Gilbert.
“Kindred spirits” – Anne said soft, standing in front of you like she just witnessed the most beautiful act in her life.
You looked confused at Gilbert as you had no idea what Anne meant.
He laughed back at you “Soulmates” – he said, clearing things up for you.
“Oh…” – you said shy, you noticed you were still holding his hand. He noticed the same but decided to hold on to it.
Since Mr. Phillips had locked himself up in his little room, everyone was practically free. Everyone was already talking or playing outside.
“Come on Kindred spirit” – Gilbert said as he leaded you outside, still holding your hand.
You blushed again and squealed soft as Gilbert pulled you forth.
Anne watched you pass by her and couldn’t stop smiling.
She then tangled her arm around Diana’s “I hope I find my kindred spirit one day”.
“You will” – Diana replied as the two of them followed you and Gilbert.

Platonic means: (of love or friendship) intimate and affectionate but not sexual.
You were sitting on the train that headed towards Charlotte’s town. You’ve just moved back to Avonlea. You grew up here with Gilbert when you were a child but left when your father found a new job somewhere else.
The wind was leaving a soft cold feeling on your skin as you were staring out of the window.
You awoke from your thoughts when the train stopped and steam released itself from underneath the wheels.
You got up and rushed out of the train. You waited on the platform to see a familiar face when some people stepped aside to show you Gilbert.
“Gilbert!” – you said, jumping into his arms.
“Y/n, it has been to long” – he replied, as his arms were around you.
“It has” – you said as you released yourself from his grip.
Gilbert smiled at you “I remember when you were this little” – he said, holding his hand near his knee’s”.
You crossed your arms and looked mean at him “I wasn’t that little!”.
Gilbert replied your expression by doing the same. Both of you then loosened up and laughed as hard as you could.
“I’ve really missed you Y/n” – he said as he placed his arm around you and started to walk away with you.
On the way home, Gilbert talked about his life here for the past years and you listened closely.
You told him then about your life oversea while he listened closely and laughed at your small jokes.
“I think you are going to love school Y/n” – he smiled at you, as his arm was still around you.
You looked at him and frowned “how do you mean? Are there any cute boy’s?” – you teased him.
“Sadly, I’m the only one” – he teased you back. “Oh well, your better than nothing” – you replied with a smirk.
Gilbert was shocked by your comment “Y/n, your breaking my heart” – he then pretended to be stabbed in the heart.
You laughed at his actions “Don’t worry Gil, you’re the best thing in my life” – you then placed a soft kiss on his cheek.
he smirked and twirled you around as both of you had stopped walking for a moment.
Gilbert walked you home and when you got inside he gave you a few lessons about the rules at school and requirements.
“Always bring something to share with other’s” – Gilbert said, while he was walking around as you sat on a chair taking note’s.
“Sharing food, check” – you said, after you had written it down and pointed with your pencil to him.
Gilbert looked at you brief and smiled. He then kept walking back and forth “Girls and boys are separated”
“Separated” – you said soft as you wrote it down.
Gilbert kept listing rule after rule, while you were writing them down with a lot of concentration.
Gilbert noticed it and said, “Last but very important, Gilbert is extremely cute and smart”.
He watched as you wrote it down whiteout thinking, he had to hold his laughter to not set you of.
“Cute and smart” – you repeated soft, you then frowned and looked at Gilbert “Oh, that was very smart of you taking advantage of me”
Gilbert replied shocked “I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
“Ha Ha, very funny Gil” – you replied as you threw your pencil at him. He avoided it and laughed “You missed me!”.
“Did I?” – you replied with a smirk and started to chase him.
Meanwhile rain started to pour outside, making a ticking sound against the window as both of you fell on the bed, still laughing.
The next day Gilbert was already waiting for you outside.
You greeted him and walked beside him towards school. As you were walking you listed the rules Gilbert told you last night in your mind.
“Don’t worry Y/n, I’ll stay by your side” – he said as he saw you focus on the rules.
“I know you will” – you said as you placed your head, short against his shoulder.
Finally, you had arrived at the school and you watched several boys running around outside while some girls placed their milk in the small stream.
You took a deep breath and followed Gilbert inside.
Gilbert helped you hang away your coat as someone approached him from behind.
“Who do we have here?” – the boy said, as he was leaning with his arm against the wall.
You wanted to say your name but Gilbert answered first.
“This is Y/n” – he said gesturing to you “Y/n this is Billy” – he added as he did the same to Billy.
“Nice to meet you Y/n” – Billy said, taking your hand “And may I say what a beauty you are”.
Billy moved your hand towards his lips but Gilbert pulled your hand away.
“What is wrong with you Gilbert?” - Billy asked him, annoyed.
Gilbert just rolled his eyes and leaded you away from him. You were totally confused about what just happened.
“Gilbert” – you asked him soft as you stopped him “Is everything alright?”.
“I’m fine” – he snapped at you. you were surprised and took a step back, Gilbert then saw your reaction and sighed “He just needs to keep his filthy lips of you”.
You stepped closer to him again and placed your hand on his shoulder “It’s alright Gilbert”.
He took a deep breath and placed his hand on yours “You’re right, noting to worry about”.
Mr. Phillips entered and everyone sat down, you sat on the other side a bench before that of Gilbert’s. this meant he could keep look at you.
Mr. Phillips called out your name that it was your turn to read out loud. You got up and took your book in your hand.
“Nice bottom” – Billy suddenly said, as he stared at your bottom.
Everyone giggled but Mr. Phillips demanded order at once.
Gilbert looked behind him to give Billy a mean stare. he replied it with a laugh and Gilbert turned around again, clenching his fists.
“Proceed Y/L/N” – Mr. Phillips said, once everyone was quit.
You started to read out loud, Gilbert kept looking at you with admiration but that would be interrupted soon by Billy.
Billy made some whistling sounds as you sat down, you ignored him while Gilbert was moving annoyed in his seat.
“Mr. Andrews” – Mr. Phillips called out “keep quit and even a frog can whistle better then you”.
You chuckled soft at his comment and Billy crossed his arms annoyed that he got called out.
Gilbert didn’t had the time to laugh because he kept paying attention to what he said about you.
As soon as it was lunch break, Gilbert rushed to your desk before Billy.
“Come on Y/n” – he said as he pulled you away by your hand.
“Gilbert calm down” – you said as you struggled to release your hand from his tight grip.
“Gilbert stop!” – you shouted, Gilbert stopped and let go of your hand.
You sighed “I don’t understand anything of what is happening?”
Gilbert took a moment to take a deep breath and spoke soft “It’s about …” – he started but got interrupted by Billy.
“Y/n, my beauty, you are an amazing reader” – Billy said as he pushed Gilbert aside and placed his arm around you.
Gilbert felt rage come up and clenched his cheek.
You took Billy’s arm from you and smiled awkward at him “Thank you, I guess …”
“Can I walk you home today, Beauty?” – Billy asked you, as he stared at your lips for a moment.
“I don’t think so” – Gilbert said angry, stepping in front of you and holding your hand tight behind him.
“My, my are we a little jealous Blythe?” – Billy scoffed.
“Just stay away from Y/n!” – Gilbert shouted as he pushed Billy on the floor.
“Afraid I might steal your girlfriend Gilbert?” – Billy scoffed again as he got up.
you noticed Gilbert was on edge so you quickly grabbed his hand and turned him in your direction.
“Don’t listen to him Gil, he’s trying to get under your skin”.
“Yeah Gilbert, be a good boy and listen to your girl”
Gilbert clenched his fist and punched Billy right in the face “If I ever see you around Y/n again, you’ll regret it!”.
Billy quickly got up and rushed off to his friends.
Gilbert stared angry at Billy’s direction for a few moments. You stepped in front of him and placed your hand against his cheek.
“Gilbert” – you said soft.
He crossed his arms and looked at you “He was flirting with you Y/n!”
“oh, was that what he was doing, I thought he was auditioning for Mr. I need attention” – you said, giggling.
“It’s not funny Y/n” – Gilbert replied, looking away and lowering his arms.
You moved his head to you with your hand and smiled at him “You now I only have eyes for you Gil”.
He smiled faintly back and placed a soft kiss on your cheek “I knew you wouldn’t fall for someone like him”.
You chuckled back “You know, seeing you all protective is kind of cute”.
Gilbert playfully rolled his eyes and pulled you close for a hug.
Check out my Masterlists to find all my imagine’s for Anne with an E
You and your brother; Moody were the ones that never stood out. Moody thought of himself that he was a disaster ever since he almost made Miss Stacy lose her job, he just wanted to look at the electric thingy as he accidently dropped it and glass scattered around on the floor. You on the other hand thought that you were never smart enough.
It ran in the family to think so little of you, it might have something to do with everybody thinking so little of the two of you or not paying enough attention to you. You were a little chubbier than your other classmates and that was clear to you that it didn’t gave you any boy attention. Tillie was also a chubby girl and she had zero interaction with the boys who only gave it to your friends who looked prettier.
Your best friend Ruby looked past your appearance as she loved you for who you are. She always gushed to you about Gilbert, but you never mind as you admired him. You worshiped him like a God, you wanted to be more like him. He was very loved, smart and social while you were almost none of those things. Whenever he said something smart you wished deep down that you could be as smart as him one day.
You and your brother were like the black sheep of the school, Moody was clumsy and could never follow with everything that happened and just let it overwhelm him as you were equally clumsy and was the one that people easily looked past. You were almost never invited to anyone’s house or playtimes as they never wanted you around.
In time you got used to it that people looked past you and that you were doomed to be the black sheep of the class alongside your brother. You and your brother were each other best friends as you hardly had anyone else. On school days you would walk with him to school and at school you would talk to Ruby, but she also had other friends. It was possible that you had to sit alone as Ruby was sitting with the other girls.
You and Moody had just arrived at school as he saw the boys already playing football, - “Alright I’m going to play sis. What are you going to do?” – Moody spoke as he was eager to play with them but wanted to make sure that you were alright. - “Probably talking with Ruby…” – you replied as you looked around for Ruby. You saw her talking to Anne and Diana as you took a deep breath, glad that Josie wasn’t with them.
She had a habit of calling you out and making you the main attraction to laugh at. Moody gave you a quick hug before he ran over to the boys, you took another deep breath as you started to walk towards Ruby. – “Good morning Ruby!” – you called out as he turned around to face you, - “Oh, good morning Y/n…” – Ruby turned her body again to Diana and Anne as you stood behind her a bit lost.
You looked nervous around you as she was ignoring you again, you then noticed Gilbert arriving and a silly smile appeared on your face as you noticed everyone greeting him. – “There is Gilbert!” – Ruby called out and she took Diana and Anne’s hand leading them to him to greet him. You watched them run past you as you followed them curious, you knew he would never greet you but still you wanted to see him.
A group had formed around Gilbert as they greeted him, you wanted to join the group as suddenly a person pushed you back. – “Move chubby!” – you were being pushed outside the group as you looked at the devious grin on Josie’s face, - “You really think you can be a part of us!” – she laughed in a mocking tone as you looked ashamed at the ground. – “Nobody wants you here chubby!” – Josie spitted at you as she pushed you hard.
You tripped over your own feet and fell with a loud thud to the ground, it made her laugh even harder as she turned her body to close the small opening in the group. You seated yourself down as you looked at your elbows that looked red from the fall. – “Are you alright?” – you suddenly heard from in front of you.
You looked up and noticed Gilbert pushing Josie aside to look at you clearer. You freaked out for and tried to pull yourself up as Gilbert came closer to you, extending his hand to you. You ignored his helping hand as you stood firm on your feet again, - “I… I’m alright… no need to worry about me…” – you said soft as you looked at your own feet, your hands folded together.
“Are you sure Y/n?” – Gilbert asked you as he tried to look at your face, you nodded soft as you bit your under lip soft, - “I’m alright… thank you …” – you stuttered soft as you lifted your head to find him smiling soft at you. – “Gilbert!” – Ruby called out as she grabbed his arm and started to lead him again to the group.
You sighed disappointed as you lowered your head and turned your body to walk away. Gilbert couldn’t stop Ruby’s pulling so he looked over his shoulder to you as you looked at the same time over your shoulder. You gasped soft as he smiled soft at you for looking at the same time, you quickly turned your head again as it was turning red. Gilbert looked one more time over his shoulder to you but this time you didn’t look back.
He sighed soft as he had hoped you would look at him again at the same time. Gilbert was again the centre of the group as he hoped to talk to you more, he never had to chance to get to know you. He only knew you as Moody’s sister and he wished he could discover another side of you than the one everyone gives you.
Gilbert didn’t think you were at all clumsy or stupid, he just thought you were misunderstood. He hated it that everyone formed your personality for you, you were none of those things to him. You walked over to a spot where you could sit down and watch Moody play. You waved happily at your brother as he paused the ball underneath his foot to wave at you.
He mouthed an ‘are you alright?’ as he heard Billy shout at him to pass the ball to him. You gave him a soft ‘yes’ as you didn’t want him to worry, Billy kicked the ball from underneath his foot as he got inpatient. Moody moved his hands in the air as he couldn’t believe that Billy would do that, he then lowered his head and putted his hands in his pocket as he walked over to you.
“Not playing anymore?” – you asked him as he seated himself next to you, - “I guess not…” - he replied as he gazed in front of him. – “I thought you would be with Ruby?” – he asked you on his turn, you shook your head soft as he already knew the answer. You sighed loud as you placed your arm around his and rested your head against his shoulder.
“I don’t think we are meant to be more than what they think of us…” – you breathed out soft as Moody placed his hand on yours that was around his arm, laying on his lap. – “I know … I’m so glad I have you Y/n … I wouldn’t know what to do without you.” – he squeezed your hand soft as you gazed in front of you, knowing that without Moody you would be lost.
Gilbert had finally escaped the group as he noticed you and Moody sitting down, he bit his lip soft as he felt sorry for the both of you. The others shouldn’t treat you like that, it bothered him that they thought so little of you. – “I’m going to show them all how great Y/n is!” – Gilbert said to himself as it became a mission for him. He heard Miss Stacy ring the bell and he rushed inside, you and Moody got up and walked inside together.
You seated yourself down as Miss Stacy started to explain today’s topic, she asked the class a question and Gilbert answered it in all his glory. – “He’s so smart…” – you said dreamy as Ruby was gazing at him from next to you. – “I know isn’t he dreamy…” – she added as she kept gazing at him. – “I wish I was that smart…” – you said soft, - “Like that is ever going to happen, stop dreaming Chubby!” – Josie suddenly mocked at you as she turned herself around in her seat.
You gave her a look as you tried to ignore her remark but deep down it bothered you. You suddenly froze as you heard your name, - “Y/n can you tell me what happens when I combine electricity with gas?” – Miss Stacy asked you and everyone looked at you as they were eager to know if you could answer this.
“This is going to be fun!” – Josie said grinning as she was glad that she could see you fail, all the colour in your face had disappeared as you saw everyone stare at you. You started to rub your sweaty hands together as you could only hear your heartbeat in your throat. – “… … …” – you opened your mouth, trying to get words to come out but nothing happened.
Moody was giving you a terrified look as he hoped you wouldn’t be laughed at, Gilbert on the other hand had clenched his fist as he whispered soft at himself, - “Come on Y/n … you know this…” – you looked around terrified as you locked eyes with Gilbert. You felt more at ease as he gave you some encouraging looks, you took a deep breath and managed to speak. – “Fire…” – you replied still uncertain that your answer was right.
Miss Stacy smiled bright as she told you the answer was correct, you widened your eyes as you couldn’t believe her. Gilbert got up from his seat and started to clap loud to you, Moody followed his lead as he was very proud of you. You looked confused at them as you had never had an encounter like that, soon Ruby, Diana and Anne followed his movement as he encouraged them to clap for you.
You started to let soft laughs escape your mouth as you were never this proud at yourself. Even Miss Stacy clapped for you as she was very proud of you, Josie was the only one who was sitting grumpy in her seat. Moody jumped out of his seat and rushed over to you to cheer with you. – “Y/n! you did it, you proved them wrong…” – he called out as he wrapped his arms around you.
“I … I couldn’t have done it without Gilbert’s encouraging looks, …” – Gilbert heard his name and smiled soft as he seated himself down again and looked in front of him still smiling. Miss Stacy calmed everyone down after some moments and Moody walked back to his seat as you felt the excitement flow through your body. You were glad that Gilbert looked after you, you thought the world of him and now seeing him help you was like heaven on earth.
As it was soon lunch time you were the topic of the day, everyone was amazed that you gave the right answer for the first time. Most of the time you blabbed something unknown as you couldn’t handle the attention. – “Y/n!” – you heard behind you as the last people were congratulating you, you looked over your shoulder and saw Gilbert coming in your direction.
“Gilbert!” – you squealed as you were surprised that he would walk up to you, the boy you looked up to for so long just walked over to you and only you. – “Y/n!” – he called out again as he was near you, - “You were amazing … I knew you could do it!” – you smiled shy at him as you started to fumble your dress. – “Chubby over here just got lucky!” – Josie scoffed at you as Gilbert gave her a filthy look in seconds.
“Shut up, Josie!” – he shouted at her as you looked embarrassed at the ground, you looked at your size and had to hold back your tears as you didn’t like to be called out like that. – “Please Gilbert we both now, chubby over here is pathetic!” – Gilbert clenched his jaw as he made a fist, - “Say one more word and I’ll punch you!” – Gilbert yelled at her as she raised her eyebrow in disbelieve that he would ever dare to touch her.
Gilbert faked that he would punch her as she ducked down and looked shocked back up as she saw his hand not even near her. – “Get the hell out of my face before I hit you for real!” – Gilbert yelled angry at her as she started to run away. He breathed a few times to calm himself down as you had started to cry soft. Gilbert heard you and turned his head in seconds towards you, - “Y/n … don’t believe a single word she says!”
You shook your head as you wished her words wouldn’t hurt you, but they did. – “She’s right…” – you answered soft and Gilbert had to hold back, - “No!” – he shouted at you, making you jump back a bit out of fright. – “You are not! Y/n you are a smart beautiful girl!” – “Beautiful!” – you cut him off as he was surprised by your little outburst. – “I am not beautiful, I am the opposite of beautiful!”
“No, you’re not!” – Gilbert grabbed your shoulders as he was trying to make a point, - “Y/n you are beautiful and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! And … and if you ever say that again about yourself than you are telling me that I have a bad taste is girls…” – you gasped soft as you couldn’t believe a single word he was telling you.
“Y/n you are beautiful, remember that!” – he said calm as he looked with his hazel brown eyes at you. You smiled faintly at him as he started to rub your arms soft. – “will you believe me now, Y/n?” – you nodded soft and he smiled bright at you. He then placed a soft kiss against your sleep as you blushed underneath his touch.
