I'll be a new girl in town...how exciting I guess, to be honest, the only thing that will be exciting is meeting my old friend who used to work for my father...Jerry Baynard my old dear friend he was a good guy and a gentleman. I wonder where he is now I heard he's in Avonlea so that's good news.
"y/n come downstairs right now we don't wanna be late" my mother shouted from the kitchen "I'm almost ready just hold on mother..." I replied shortly then started packing my belongings. I'm going to miss this place a lot.
A little family background...I am Y/N Verlice my father died that's the main reason why we wanted to move. My mother wanted a fresh start, I'm an only child. We are not rich but can afford things, and for that I'm grateful.
"Mother do we have to leave France? I to be honest don't want to leave and socialize with other people" I said hoping it'll convince my mother "y/n it's for the best, and please come out of your shell for once I heard our neighbor has a daughter. Make her your friend" my mother replied "I'll sure try my best" "but people just annoys me for no reason" I said rolling my eyes "I understand you dear but it's better to go and have a fresh start" my mother said while cupping my face "maybe if you're lucky enough you perhaps will meet jerry" my mother added which makes me excited to go in Avonlea
"Get in y/n enough looking around," my mother said while putting her belongings in the carriage I didn't reply and just went in with my stuff in the compartment. "If we arrive, I want you to act ladylike and be on your best behavior when meeting our neighbors," my mother told me seriously "Oui mama," I said while looking out the window nurturing the scenery.
"Wake up you sleep like a log y/n" "we have arrived in Avonlea," my mom said while shaking me, I opened my eyes and saw that the house that we were staying in "looked big for a person for two," I said while checking inside. "Your father built it years and years and I too wanted a spacious one" I hurriedly went upstairs to find my room.
"I am guessing father designed my room right mother? It is almost full of pink" I said enough for my mom to hear downstairs "good guess darling" my mother answered with a chuckle. I missed him, I let out a sigh and drop my belongings to the ground, and flopped on the bed
"Supper is ready, come downstairs right now y/n we don't want the food cold" my mother shouted my name from the kitchen. I went downstairs and sat down at the table "Help yourself up" my mother offered me the freshly made bread. "Chew quietly y/n Verlice" " you don't wanna be doing this outside" my mother stated, I did as she told and ate.
"The day after tomorrow you'll be attending school," my mother said "I am not nervous about going though I worried about not fitting in" I stated "you'll do just fine," she said comforting me. "Enough chatter you'll need to go sleep, we'll have a long day tomorrow," my mother said as I walk upstairs to my room
Maybe Avonlea wasn't that bad after all well considering nothing bad happened the first day I arrived...
"Y/n get yourself up it's morning, You have to go visit our neighbors" my mother shouted from her room "Can't i visit in the afternoon I'm sure they won't mind," I said putting my head under the pillow "Quit it y/n come downstairs now, go wash your face and get dressed," my mother said in annoyance. I did as she told me and went to take a bath.
I put on a simple yet daring dress that I bet would look good and will make me look presentable in meeting the Cuthberts.

I went downstairs and saw my mom baking tons of pastry for them. "They look scrumptious," I said looking at her pastry "Hm enough with your cheeks, and get one" I chuckled at her and took one "it's good," I said complimenting her goodies
"Hold this for me and give it to Miss and Mr. Cuthbert " "ladylike verlice" she added while looking me straight in the eye, I just nodded in response and went out of the house
"Bonjour! Anybody around at this time?" I asked enough for someone to hear me "Est-ce que tu parles français?" ( Do you speak French?)A guy around my age said from afar while petting a black horse "non je parle espagnol tu es stupide" ( no I speak Spanish you stupid )I replied while rolling my eyes at his dumb question.
"Relax there, what's the reason for your visit?" He asked letting me in "I am a new girl and I'm dropping off some pastry" I replied shortly "You look familiar" he said looking at my face I could say the same to him but I don't wanna talk "pardon?" "I think I know you what's your name?" He asked "Quit staring it's rude didn't your mother tell you that," I said ignoring his question "That eyes and attitude of yours, it couldn't be..the one and only y/n Verlice," he said and hugged me I got shocked, and return the hug "Jerry Baynard, tu m'as beaucoup manqué je me suis toujours demandé où tu étais" ( Jerry Baynard, I missed you a lot, I always wondered where you were) "I missed you too Verl," he said with a smile "it's been a while since a heard that Baynard" I respond teasing him "You look stunning Verl" "I'd say the same to you, Jerry, you've grown very handsome," I said returning the compliment
"Take a bread or two" "no I couldn't do that" " just take it jerry come on now," I said handing him two pieces of bread "you never changed y/n," he said I just gave him a wink, and continued on walking to Miss and Mr. Cuthberts house.
"Miss Cuthbert you have a visitor," Jerry said knocking on the door, the door opened revealing an old woman that I'm guessing is the one and only Miss Cuthbert. "Bonjour Miss Cuthbert I am a new girl in the neighborhood I moved yesterday I'm sure you've heard about the news already," I said while smiling "I live near you and my mother and I wanted to give you a basket of pastries" I added "How lovely dear, and yes I've heard enjoy your stay here in Avonlea," she said while giving me a heartwarming smile
"Marilla who are you taking to?" A red-haired girl asked behind the old woman. I can't help looking at her red hair it looks good on her she looks pretty I thought to myself "Oh hi my name is Anne. with an E, you look very pretty like a princess, My with that puff sleeves I wish I have one of those they look elegant and that brown haired of yours I'd rather have them" she said talking too fast but I still managed to understand her "Thank you for your kind words, your red hair suits you and your freckles are lovely, you're beautiful Anne" I said with a smile, she hugged me and it did surprise me I wouldn't say I didn't like it but that was shocking for a girl that she first met. "You're just missing one thing a prince y/n," she said while doing a courtesy.
"Anne there's always a tomorrow, let Y/n rest for now I'm sure her mom is wondering why she hasn't come back yet," said Miss Cuthbert. I said goodbye and went to leave with Jerry Accompanying me
"I'm sorry for your loss Verl, I hope you're feeling any better now," he said while putting his arms on my shoulder I just smiled at him to assure him that I'm doing fine. We stopped at home and before I went inside he hugged me one more time "See you tomorrow" I said waving goodbye to him.
