Gilbert's POV
At least I thought she left me alone while I went back to reading, but a few moments later I hear her whisper in my ear "Diana saw you and y/n after school yesterday." And with that she walks over to her friends.
I quickly stand and walk over to y/n.
I don't mind that she is surrounded by Josie and the other girls.
"Gilbert?" I hear Ruby squeak.
"Umm, can I please speak to y/n for a moment?" I ask, already grabbing her forearm and pulling her aside.
"What is it?" She whispers harshly, probably because she doesn't want Ruby to hit her again.
"Diana knows." Her face drops.
"What?"
"She saw our kiss." I elaborate.
"She won't tell."
"We should be more careful. But... never mind. Come by my house later. We need to talk." I say. She nods slightly before looking over towards the girls.
"Please don't hate me." She whispers.
"Wha-" And with that I feel her push me away as she yells.
"Leave me alone!"
"Miss Y/l/n!" Miss Stacy yells moving away from her desk. "What's the problem here?"
"I was-"
"She wasn't doing anything. I was just trying to get on her nerves. Seemed to have worked." I cut her off.
"Well then, Gilbert put your book away class is starting." Miss Stacy says and y/n and I nod quickly.
Y/n's POV
What a lame excuse Gilbert used. But I suppose it worked.
Miss Stacy has the class crowd around a desk with potatoes, wires and light bulbs on it. What is this?
"Science changes the world for the better. Does anyone know what electricity is?" Miss Stacy asks the class and Miss Cuthbert.
"Light!" Anne remarks.
"Yes and..?"
"A form of energy!" Gilbert and I say in sync.
"Electricity is indeed a form of energy."
"I was going to say that." Anne mumbles.
"If you've ever watched a thunderstorm, with mighty lightning bolts darting down from the sky, that's electricity. Powerful stuff." Miss Stacy continues as she screws a nail into one of the potatoes. "A bolt of lightning is a sudden, massive surge of electricity between the sky and the ground beneath. Electrical currents live inside atoms. And atoms are small particles that make up all matter. They're so small that it takes billions and billions of them just to make something useful like a nail." All the students giggle. "All objects that takes space and have mass are call matter. And everything around you is made up of matter. Chocolate cake is made up of matter. These walls, the school is made up of matter. You are made up of matter. Now today without a standard power source, like they have in the big cities, we are going to make our own electric current in order to illuminate a light bulb. How many of you have actually seen one?"
Gilbert, Anne and Diana raise their hands.
"In New York, actually." Gilbert smiles.
"In Charlottetown." Anne says bitterly.
"Uh, my aunt Josephine has electricity." Diana states.
"Well, with a light bulb, scientists have found a way to send electric currents, atoms carrying energy, into a container full of gas, a different type of atom, and when those two types of atoms meet, they exchange they're energy and make-"
"Light!" Anne, Gilbert and I say together.
"So, here in Avonlea, with a little ingenuity and some Prince Edward Island potatoes, we have..." Miss Stacy screws in the light bulb, "electricity." The bulb illuminates and all of us clap and laugh. Including Miss Cuthbert.
