After six months of getting to know Gilbert Blythe and his annoying habit of staring at her, Anne Shirley-Cuthbert has to deal with several things.

— "I'm failing miserably because I can't stop thinking about her"17 By your side // You think I'd leave your side, baby?
— "I love you"18 I know it's over // And it never really began
— "I want what's best for her and that doesn't include me"19 Afterglow // I don't wanna lose this with you
— "Go to prom with me"20 I always knew // It's you, it's always you
— "You'll forget me"
