"It's official, your ankle is broken."
"No;no,no,no,no,no,no."
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to be off of it for at least 6 weeks. I'll give you some crutches though."Anne was at the hospital getting the results from her ankle. Every day before that she had tried to stand up and walk around her house but it would hurt to much. Her parents had kept her from school so that she wouldn't hurt it even more but it was no use. Every morning she would try to sneak out of the house to go to school and every morning her mom or dad would catch her limping down the stairs and nearly making it to the door.
Now she could go to school but she had to go with her crutches and her boot. She hated it. And she hasn't even gone back to school. She had already missed a week of school and she was finally going back. So that morning she woke up very happy that she could go back. Until she looked down where her boot was which changed her entire mood.
"Ugh! Why did I have to climb that tree and walk on it? It probably would only have been sprained or not even hurt."Anne got dressed and finished everything else she had to do in the morning. She walked downstairs with her crutches, boot, and mad facial expression. Her parents said good morning like it was any normal day.
"How could you say good morning when you know this is not a good morning for me?"
"Oh I think I see Diana outside. Go head off to school now." Indeed Diana was outside to take Anne to school so Anne slowly grabbed her backpack and slowly walked to Diana.
"What got you all in the mood?" Diana asked Anne completely oblivious to the boot and crutches.
"If you would take one look at me you would probably notice." Diana looked at Anne's face and then down at her foot to where her boot was. Her eyes then widened.
"What happened?"
"You know that lunch thing we did with the Blythes?" Diana did that playful smirk which caused Anne to roll her eyes.
"Yes"
"Well afterwards, we went outside to pick apples in the orchard."
"Ok."
"So Gilbert and I decided to play a game to see who can fill up their basket first and long story short, I climbed a tree and when I went to climb down my foot got caught and it twisted when I fell."
"Oh my god Anne."
"Yup, I kept trying to walk on it and now it is broken and I am off of it for 6 weeks. And what's worse is I have to go to school like this."
"But you know the good thing about having a broken ankle?"
"I really don't think there is a good thing to it."
"People will help you out with things. They'll move out of the way for you, the boys will be more of a gentleman to you."
"That's true."A little after they stoped talking Anne got a text from Gilbert. She quickly turned her phone so that Diana wouldn't see.
*Anne and Gilbert texting*
Gilbert: so have you made up your decision?
Anne: No not yet.
Gilbert: why not?
Anne:Because I broke my ankle.
Gilbert: really? I'm so sorry Anne.
Anne: no it's my fault. I should have never climbed that tree. I also may or may not have tried to walk on it later on.
Gilbert:🤦🏻♂️😂
Anne:anyways, see you at school.
Gilbert:see ya.
*back to Anne and Diana in the car*
"Who were you texting?" Diana said in a playful tone.
"Ruby."
"Oh." Diana said sadly.
"Who did you think I was texting?" Anne said raising her eyebrow seriously but was smiling.
"Just a certain tall, dark curly haired,Hazel eyed boy." Anne just rolled her eyes."anyways,what was she asking?"
"She was asking me to help her talk to Gilbert." Diana rolled her eyes knowing that that was a lie.

After about 20 minutes of driving they finally made it to school. Diana helped Anne out of the car. They walked inside and everyone immediately moved out of the way for her to walk to her locker. She was met by Gilbert.
"Hey Gilbert."
"Hey." Gilbert was on his phone looking at something.
"Mind helping me with my books" Anne said with plead. Gilbert looked over to see a struggling Anne trying to get her books into her locker with her crutches in her hands.
"Yes.right.Helping right now." Gilbert grabbed her books from her so she could open her locker. She opened her locker and grabbed her books from Gilbert, putting all of them in except for the one that she needed for first period.
"So..." Gilbert said in a nervous tone. Anne new exactly what that meant.
"I told you I would think about it."
"Think about what?" Diana asked popping out of no where.
"Oh It's just that Gilbert wanted to do something really special for the seniors that we are taking care of. And he wanted me to make them a cake and I said I would think about it because I am a really bad cook." What she really meant was:"Gilbert wanted to go on a date with me and I told him I would think about it because of my broken ankle." But she didn't say that out loud.
"Oh." Diana said
"And now that I think of it. I will do it." Anne concluded. Gilbert wasn't paying attention until he heard what she said.
"Wait what?" Gilbert said shocked.
"I said yes." Anne said nodding her head with a smile. Then she walked off to her first period.

It was finally lunch time. Anne arose from her desk to walk to lunch. As she was walking down the isle she tripped, she waited for the impact but instead fell into the arms of someone. They lifted her and she finally opened her eyes.
"Second time. Third time I might start thinking that you're doing it on purpose." Gilbert said with a sly smirk. Anne rolled her eyes but couldn't help but smile and blush a little.
"Well I am going to go to my friends now. So thank you and see ya later." Anne walked out of the classroom to her friends. She finally found them and sat down with a loud sigh.
"What took you so long." Diana said while stuffing her mouth with food.
"Oh I kind of tripped, and then fell an-
"-oh are you alright?" Ruby said in a worried voice. Ruby is a small emotional girl with golden brown hair and blue eyes. She also has freckles like Anne but just not as many.
"I'm fine because someone caught me half way as I was falling."
"Who was it?" Diana said with a playful smirk.
"Oh some random kid being a gentleman. I didn't get his name though." Anne said without hesitation.
"Oh if only Gilbert would be a gentleman like that with me." Ruby said with sad eyes.
"So; who's the random kid that's being a gentleman?" Gilbert walked up to the table and stood next to Ruby since that was the only space. Ruby blushed at how close they were even though they were still pretty far from each other.
"Oh I tripped and fell and someone caught me being a nice gentleman." By the way Anne said someone Gilbert knew that they didn't know it was him.
"Well then, I guess that someone was very happy to help. Anyways, see you guys around."
"See ya." All of the girls said in unison. Gilbert did a small glance at Ruby who he could feel staring at him the entire time and gave her a small smile. Ruby smiled back turning as red as a tomato. Gilbert walked away and didn't say anything else. Diana have Anne a playful smirk once again and Anne Gave her the "I'll tell you later look" and Diana just nodded.

After school Diana and Anne walked to the car to drive home.
"Spill the tea!" Diana yelled as Anne closed the door to the car. "It was Gilbert who caught you when you fell earlier wasn't it." She said in an interrogating tone.
"Yes it was."
"Well why didn't you say that."
"Because Ruby was right there."
"And?"
"And she would prob as boy cry her eyes out if I said it was him." Diana smirked realizing what Anne had said about him.
"You said he was a gentleman." She said while poking Anne's arm." "You said he was nice."
"Oh stop it." Anne said abruptly. "Anyways you were right. This day was really good; the boys were being super gentleman's to me and I think this one one of my best days at at school." She said concludingly.
