• My Anne with an e •

• The Secret Giver •

It was a fall morning, Anne woke up to birds chirping outside of the window. She jumped out of bed .
ANNE'S POV
Oh my god , I forgot to do the project. Gil- I am going to fail . Oh my god I'm getting a F . A F?? Oh no NONO , I can't get an F . Gilbert is going to be so upse- Mrs. Stacy is going to be upset. I've never gotten an F!

Gilbert's POV
Oh my god , I forgot to do the project. Anne's going to be so upset. I can't believe I did this . Now she'll hate me for infinity.

Mrs . Stacy got all the projects, she looked at Gilbert and Anne. Gilbert's thought- Anne looks like she's going to cry!

Anne looked all red, she felt as if everyone was staring at her . Gilbert on the other hand was the only one other than Mrs . Stacy , staring at her . Gilbert felt as though he let Anne down. " Anne , Gilbert? Your project?" Anne wanted to run out right then and there. " I'm sorry mrs . Stacy but we um .. don't have it here. If you could give us one more day we cou-" Mrs Stacy cut Gilbert off. " I'm sorry Gilbert but I told you guys that it was due today. I'm very sorry I'm going to have to give you a F" Anne looked up from her seat. She was all red .
" no no no no!! Please no !" Anne just sat there . Even Josie Pye got a B! "Look who's the smart one now" Josie laughed . Anne ran out , far into the woods. She fell onto a tree and cried. Even though it was just a F she thought as if she let down mrs Stacy and Gilber- no not Gilbert. He didn't do anything either!

" Anne , Anne?!
Oh Anne I've been looking for you everywhere! Look I'm so sorry that we got a F , I know how much grades mean to you, so if I can , would I be able to ask you a question?" Anne looked up a Gilbert. A tear ran down her cheek. " su- sure . Look I'm sorry too , I guess running out like that was very dumb , it was ju- just an F right?" Anne stuttered .  " well I guess it won't drag our grades down that much? An F is okay , next time we'll have to work harder. Anyway my question is would you like to come over for dinner tomorrow night?" Anne look surprised . She wanted to say yes to go by herself but.. " oh yes! Marilla Matthew and I will be there!" Gilbert looked almost upset . He smiled at her and walked away.

The next day

Anne walked into school. " Anne look at the take notice board . Someone noticed you!!" Diana said from a distance. Anne looked confused, no one could ever want her! She on the board and It was from ...

GILBERT!!!!!

" why on earth would Gilbert post? Why me .? Why not ruby or you or Tillie? Why no-" Diana cut Anne off . She looked annoyed . Diana knew Gilbert liked Anne so she might of wrote that letter and put it up on the board. " Anne I have an idea , go and ask him" so Anne  walked up to Gilbert. He was laughing and talking to Moody. Anne tapped his shoulder and he turned around . He looked surprised that Anne was willing to talk to him. "Hello Anne , what brings you here?" Anne couldn't find the words. She just stood there. Gilbert just sat there looking at anne . " did you forget what you wanted to say?" Diana walked in to find Anne just standing and staring at Gilbert. She knew Anne's face it was " I don't know what to say" look. Diana jumped into the conversation. " Hello Gilbert , Anne , Anne has something to show you" " I do?" Diana pinched Anne's arm " I do , I do"  Diana Anne and Gilbert walked outside . It was so cold out. The grass had some frost on it. Gilbert looked at the take notice board and said " um I didn't write that . I mean yeah maybe those things are true but I um I di- didn't write that" Anne looked devastated. She thought Gilbert wrote it! Wait why is she upset? She hated Gilbert . Gilbert looked at Anne , he realized that Anne looked upset . " I mean if you want me to write something" Anne looked up with a little hope. Why is she feeling like that. "No no. I was just wondering"

Next day

Gilbert woke up early that day. He grabbed his pen and wrote :

Anne,
   You need to know that you're very smart. You're hair is like a warm fire. Just like your amazing temper , I didn't mean it like that . I mean you're temper is my favourite part of you. I didn't mean it like that either . Anyway you're so beautiful and smart .

- Gilbert

He grabbed his books and bags and ran to school before anyone was there. We put the paper he wrote for Anne on the take notice board . He saw Anne and Diana walking up to him , he ran inside. Anne looked confused " why ever did he run. Oh my goodness , my dearest Diana  look!" Diana looked up and smiled . She looked at Anne , she looked half furious half happy. Diana read the note. Oh no Gilbert , why!

Anne walked into the school house . " my temper? My temper is your favourite part of me? Not my smarts or how I'm a good cook? The one thing I'm glad you didn't mention is my freckles -" Gilbert started laughing . Anne looked lost , she had no idea why he started laughing . " I'm sorry Anne, I didn't mean it like that. I meant it like whenever someone does something wrong you stand up for them! Your freckles are beautiful. I'm glad you're coming over tonight!" " I , thank you Gilbert . You didn't need to post though! I could care less and sure I'm very excited too. Just be glad that Matthew got me these fantastic puff sleeves. Their ever so puffy" Gilbert looks shocked . Anne didn't yell at him for being nice to her. He smiled at her and she smiled back. Gilbert chuckled at Anne and of what she had said about puff sleeves . Gilbert thought : If she loves puff sleeves maybe I could buy her a dress with them. Oh I could! . " Anne pssttt Anne!" Anne looked to see Gilbert right in front of her. " what's your favourite colour? I mean I just want to know!" Anne was confused . Diana looked at her and gave her a little nudge . " um maybe green or blue? Oh or Pink is Devine , even though my red hair could never pull pink off!" Gilbert smiled , he thought Pink it is. " okay , but I think pink would be good on you" Anne sat there staring at Gilbert she had a little smile on her face and turned her head to Diana staring at her and Gilbert . Anne wondered why Gilbert would ask her what her favourite colour was! Mrs . Stacy walked in and said " hello class. I just came up with an idea while I was walking here. We are going to do secret giver ! ( secret Santa) everyone will get someone , they can't say who . Though out the whole week you will be nice to your secret giver and get them a gift . The budget it 10 cents ( $10 or more dollars now) . At the end of the week we will open the presents and guess who got who. Now come up and pick someone . " Diana was the first to go up. She got... Charlie. Then Anne went up she got .... Gilbert? Okay then . Anne thought on what she was going to get Gilbert.  Gilbert went up he picked up the paper and unfolded it. It was

Anne! He already knew what he was getting her. Even though it was a lot more than 10 cents.

Anne thought .. what does Gilbert like . I don't even know Gilbert that well! Anne walked up to Gilbert . It was after school and he was getting ready to go home. Anne asked him if they could walk together . To get to know each other . Of course knowing Gilbert he said yes. As they walked together they got to know each other very well.

They were at green gables . " I guess this is where I go! Thank you for walking me. I had a good time!" Gilbert smiled at her and waved. " Anne and Gilbert sitting in a tree K I S S I N G-" Jerry loved teasing Anne. He was basically her brother. They were like siblings, they like to annoy each other and sometimes they have fun. Sometimes . "Jerry! I told you , I have no interest in Mr. Blythe. Nothing what so ever. I was just walking with him because I'm his secret giver and I needed to know more about him. The walk was spectacular there was ever so many leaves. The talk with Gilbert was nice too. We talked about what we absolutely adored and what we disliked. Then we came here! Nothing romantical about that . Huh jerry!" Jerry laughed. He knew at one point Anne would figure out the Gilbert Blythe isn't bad at all! " Uh huh , whatever you say Anne. Whatever you say" .........
