"do you want the truth or something beautiful?"














Her feet skidded through the grass, as she laughed, out of breath. She had only met Anne a couple of hours ago, but she felt like she knew her since forever. Anne had such a way with words, and it felt like the three of them were meant to be friends till the end of time. She quite admired her bright red hair and her freckled face, Amelia thought it was unique and beautiful.

On the other hand, she had met Diana a couple of weeks ago, when she moved to Avonlea from Scotland. They had become friends instantly; she didn't exactly know why. They had just clicked, and she liked how Diana was polite and welcoming, unlike the other girls who were vain and were girlish.

As the three girls reached to a stop, tired of running through the big wide fields, Anne let out a sigh, admiring the beautiful view. "You're so smart Anne. I never would have though to sell poems for train fare." Diana said. "And you're home in time for the church picnic. Did I tell you we're hosting it here?" Diana paused and smiled at Anne. "I'm really glad you're back, Anne."

"Me too Anne." added Amelia shyly. Anne smiled at both girls. Amelia wasn't as polite and outgoing as Diana. She was quieter and timid, but had a big wave of emotions inside of her, bottled up. "Well, you two are the only ones. well, Matthew seems to be, but he must have talked her into it." she exhaled. "That's not true Anne."

"Oh, miss Cuthbert wasn't happy to see me. She didn't care a whit." Anne said, so sure of her answer, not being used to so many people caring about her. Amelia knew the feeling, as for her whole life she had never been surrounded by so many people who cared about her.  "But Rachel Lynde told father that miss Cuthbert was torn asunder after you left." Amelia argued, and Diana nodded.

"Not possible." Anne still argued, shaking her head. "You're very stubborn." laughed Amelia. "It's hard to believe she was sorrowful when she doesn't seem to like me at all." Diana shrugged her shoulders. "At least you're home." All three girls hugged tightly for a couple a seconds, breathing the fresh air. "I've missed you." adds Anne. "Both of you." she sighs and let's go. "And I don't want to seem ungrateful, but it did fill my heart with joy to be back at Green Gables!" Anne climbed the fence, and the other two girls followed suit.
