Gilbert's POV

After school was over. I was immediately out the door waiting for Anne. After, about fifteen minutes of waiting for her I decided to walk inside.

"No, freak you listen to me." said a blonde girl. "You are just a little trash that got picked up in order to be thrown away. Don't think you matter just because you come to school. I can't even believe that -"

"Hello." I said whilst cutting her sentence and putting a comforting hand on Anne's back.

"Hello Gilbert." said the blonde girl whilst playing with her hair. "I'm Josie Pye." I shook her hand and I said.

"Be polite towards my girlfriend or else you are messing with me too and when it comes to my Anne. I forget what the word nice even means." I said and let go of her hand, smiling innocently.

"Why do you care about a freak like her?" asked Josie, annoyed.

I got madder and madder as each second passed by. Anne tried to push me away but I was too strong.

"If she is a freak. Why do you care about her so much? What are you? Afraid of some competition?" I said as I  took Anne's hand and our stuff and walked with her outside.

We didn't say a word to each other the entire walk home. We were like three minutes away when she decided to talk. So, she gently turned me around and looked at me as well as let go of my hand.

"Gil..." I just gave her a look and continued walking.

"Wait, why are you mad at me?" asked Anne as she started walking after me.

"I'm not." I answered.

"Then, stop walking." said Anne as she grabbed my arm.

"I told you, if anything like that happened to come to me." I answered  with disappointment in my eyes.

"I thought you left." said Anne.

"Have I ever left you? And do you really think... I would leave you on our first day to a completely new place?" I asked now starting to get mad.

"You didn't seem to mind all the attention so I wouldn't be shocked if you left with them." said Anne and I could see that she regretted what she said as soon as the words came out of her mouth, but that didn't stop me.

"What did you expect me to do?"

"I don't know. Maybe, stay with me on our first day?" asked Anne, annoyed.

"I asked you." I reminded her.

"What was I supposed to say?" asked Anne.

"The truth? I didn't think of you as the type of person who was scared to speak her mind." I pointed out.

"You would get mad." said Anne.

"Why would I?" I asked.

"Because, I would ask for you to be around when you could be making new friends." said Anne.

"How many times do I have to tell you that you are a priority?" I asked, getting tired of the entire situation.

"I didn't seem like a priority when you were talking with those girls." said Anne as she crossed her arms.

Then, it clicked.

"A-are you jealous?" I asked shocked but quickly covered it with a smirk.

"Don't be ridiculous." said Anne as she started to walk away.

"So, you wouldn't mind if I asked one of them out." I said, searching for a reaction.

"Why would I care?"

"You tell me." I said as I kept on smirking at her.

"Not, while you are dating me."

"Dating?"

"FAKE dating." said Anne and her cheeks turned red.

"Hmm... If I didn't know any better. I'd say that you forgot that this wasn't real. Am I correct, my dear flower?" I said as I booped her nose.

"Don't think, for even a second, that I want to date you for real." said Anne as she pushed my hand away and started to walk fast again.

I gently held her hand and she interlocked our fingers impulsively.

"Anne..."

"What?" asked Anne, annoyed with me.

"You said that all of this is fake right?" I asked with a soft smile on my face.

"Yes." said Anne, cautiously.

"Then, why are we holding hands?"

She was speechless. Wow, I left Anne speechless. I should write this date down.

"Because, people are looking." answered Anne, as she looked up.

"We are alone." I answered.

She looked around and realized that I was right and immediately let go of my hand.

I started chuckling and she gave me a warning look, but she started to lightly giggle too whilst she was blushing furiously.

We finally reached Green Gables and waved at Jerry who walked up to us.

"Bonjour Gilbert and Anne."

"Hello." said me and Anne at the same time.

Then, Jerry stared at Anne curiously.

"What?" asked Anne as she noticed his questioning stare.

"Why is your face so red?" asked Jerry.

At that I started laughing and Anne quickly walked away. My stomach started to hurt. I patted Jerry on the back and followed Anne inside.

"I seriously really like him." I said as I chuckled.

"He is annoying." answered Anne with a pout.

"My dear flower. He just had a question. So, he asked us." I said as my face was starting to get red from all the laughing.

"I'm glad you are enjoying this." said Anne as she crossed her arms and looked at me upset.

"Me too." I said as I kissed her forehead and sat down on a chair.

Anne just pushed me 'accidentally' and almost made me fall on the floor and she left.

My little Anne is passionate individual, alright?

"Gilbert come and put glasses on the table." yelled Marilla. I quickly stood up and went towards the glasses.

Marilla ringed the bell and before I knew it. We were all sitting on the table enjoying Marilla's delicious meal, even Jerry joined us today which was a nice change.

We talked about everything and when we got up to take the plates in the sink. Jerry said...

"Your face is back to normal now, Anne." with a kind smile and walked out.

Anne's face was priceless and I just laughed at the whole situation as I walked upstairs and in my room.
