You're my slate face(COMPLETED)

"I believe you"

(A week after Anne's decision)
*Alarm goes off*

Anne wakes up and does her normal routine for getting ready for school. She gives Diana her every morning text. When she finishes getting ready, she walked down to the kitchen where her parents and her breakfast was there.

"Good morning!" Anne said in a happy mood.

"Good morning!" Walter and Bertha said in unison.

"In a good mood are we?" Bertha said surprised.

"Very good mood."

After breakfast, she gave her parents a kiss on the cheek and ran outside to Diana blasting their favorite song in the car.

"You really started it without me?" Anne said in a sad tone.

"You were taking too long!"
Diana said while still rocking out to the music.

Anne just plopped inside of the car and they both started singing and dancing their hearts out. Then they were off to school.

  When they got to school Anne looked around for a certain curly haired boy; but instead she a boy getting tossed around a group of jocks.

"Hey!" Anne yelled out. "That is not a way to treat someone!"

"Well how would you like me to treat him?" A boy with blonde hair and blue eyes says.

"Well not like that."

"Then I guess you would like to take his place." Then he starts to push her into the circle. He pushes and pushes her until she is right in the circle.

"Hey Billy!" A very familiar voice calls out.

"Hey Gilbert!" Billy calls out in the same tone.

"I get that you like to pick on the other guys but doing that to girls is a little different."

"So what?"

"So I'm saying that you probably shouldn't be picking on Anne."
Gilbert says in an irritated tone.

"What are you gonna do about it?" Billy whispers, nearly face to face with Gilbert, and has a challenging tone.

"I'll make sure you regret ever picking on a girl ever again."
Gilbert says in the same low yet challenging tone. Both of the boys stare each other down for a good minute until Gilbert finally breaks the silence and says "good talk" still using the same tone he's been using and then walks to where Anne is standing.

The whole time Billy and Gilbert were talking, Anne made a new friend.

"Hey are you alright?" Anne said in a concerned voice.

"I'm fine." The boy said. He was a couple inches taller than Anne, with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Anne." Anne sticks out her hand for him to shake.

"Cole." He smiles and shakes her hand.

"I have a feeling that we are going to be really good friends.

*Back to present time*

  "Hey Anne, Cole, are you guys alright." Gilbert says mostly to Anne.

"We're fine Gilbert." Anne said with a tad bit of an annoyed tone.
He still had his worried face on which prompted Anne to say,
"We are fine Gilbert, we didn't get hurt, we have no scratches, nothing is wrong with us."
And with that the bell rang for them to go to 1st period.

While in lunch, Anne got introduced to Tilly, Jane, Ruby and Josie.

"Everyone this is Anne." Diana announced.

"Anne this is Tilly, Jane, Ruby and Josie." Diana said in a calmer voice.

"Hi." The four girls said in unison.

"Hey aren't you that girl that slapped Gilbert in fifth  period on your first day here. Josie said already not liking Anne.

"In my defense, he called me carrots and pulled my hair. Also I have a bad temper sometimes." Anne said trying to defend herself.

"Well you shouldn't have slapped him either way." Ruby chimed in, feeling sad for Gilbert.

"Anyways let's talk about something else." Diana said to stop the fight.

"Ya! Like how handsome Gilbert is." Ruby said dreamily. Then she started naming traits about him.

It was then fifth period. The period where Anne actually had to talk to Gilbert.

"Now class! Since you guys are going to be working with your partners for a while. I want you guys to talk to each other, get to know one another." The teacher announced before sitting down at her desk to do paperwork.

Anne slowly looked to her side to see Gilbert already looking at her.

"So.." Anne said awkwardly.

"So.." Gilbert said in the same tone.

"What sport do you play?"

"Football. What about you?"

"I don't really play any sports."

"Oh.um.. what is your favorite food?" Gilbert said a little hesitantly.

"Macaroni and cheese. I could probably eat it every day if I could."

"Same. See! There is one thing we have in common."

Anne did a small smile at how excited Gilbert got. Gilbert did a boyish smirk at Anne realizing that he made her smile.

"Did I just see you smile?"

"No you didn't." Anne said with a strait face.

"Are you sure you didn't just smile at me."

"I am sure I didn't just smile at you. Ok what is your favorite color?" Anne said trying to change the subject.

"No, you can't just Change the subject on me because I could have sworn you did a small smile at me."

"Ok. I smiled at how stupid you looked when realized that we have something in common are you happy now?"

"Very happy, thank you very much."

"So what's your favorite color?"
"Red."

"Haha very funny." Anne said annoyed.

"No seriously my favorite color is red."

"And it's not because of my hair?"
"No." Gilbert said looking serious.

" ok then. I believe you."

"Wait really?" Gilbert said surprised.

"Really." Anne said very calmly.

"What's your favorite color?"

"Robbin eggs blue."

"Totally different than mine but ok."

"Ok then."
