anne was walking through the school door and into the cloakroom, placing her bag on the bench. she then took her coat off, and hung it up.

she searched through her bag, collecting her slate and books, and then she headed into the classroom.

"hey anne." gilbert said from behind her.

anne spun around, dropping her stuff in the process.

"hey gilbert." she muttered, before leaning down to collect her books.

"hey, let me help you."

"i'm perfectly capable of retrieving a few books on my own." anne said, annoyed.

nevertheless, he crouched down anyway, and began picking her books up with her.

"gilbert i said-" she started before lifting her head up, straight into gilbert's chin.

"oww!" they both cried.

"what's going on here?" miss stacy said, coming through the door.

"we banged heads." gilbert winced.

"oh, yes. well, you'd better head home and get bandaged up."

the two teens just stared up at her, not really believing they were aloud to go home.

"go on!" miss stacy demanded, before continuing to walk to her desk.

gilbert got up first, and held a hand out.

anne rolled her eyes, before accepting the gesture. she patted down her skirt and grabbed her things, putting them away in her bag.

once her coat was on, she began to walk out the door.

"hey wait for me!" gilbert called out, causing anne to turn around.

gilbert ran to the red-headed girl, with a crooked smile.

"well this was unexpected." he chuckled.

"yes indeed it was, and very unnecessary too. we are loosing out on valuable education."

"it's okay anne, i'm sure you'll catch up."

"mhm." she mumbled in response.

they continued walking in silence. until anne spoke..

"do you like ruby?"

"um, what?" gilbert said, confused.

"do you like ruby?" she repeated, still looking forward.

"as a friend, yes. anything more, no."

"hm."

"do you like cole?" he questioned.

anne stopped and turned her head.

"me and cole are just friends."

"well, do you like anyone.. else?" gilbert gulped, afraid of her response.

"well, i- um. maybe." she stuttered.

a confused expression appeared on gilbert's face.

"well, i don't really know. i've never liked anyone before so i guess i don't really know what it feels like."

"i wish you did." gilbert thought, accidentally saying it aloud.

"what do you mean?"

"oh no, i've screwed it all up now." he thought.

"well, um, what i meant was that i-"

he started to say, before getting cut off by anne's lips connecting with his.

she kissed him.

he placed his arms on her waist, continuing to kiss her.

she smiled into the kiss, as did he.

"i'm a fool for you anne shirley." gilbert whispered once they had broken apart.

"i'm a fool for you too gilbert blythe." anne smiled, kissing him again.
