Gilbert Blythe Imagines

Dancing

"Mother?" you quickly walked down the stairs."yes dear?" you heard her yell from the kitchen. you stormed into the kitchen. "where's my red ribbon?" you asked as you watched you mother make breakfast. "I don't know sweetheart" she said and you groaned walking back upstairs. "Ophelia!" you yelled as you barged into your little sister's room. "did you take my red ribbon?" you asked with an angry expression on your face. "yea sorry" she said with a wide smile while handing you your ribbon. you smiled at her. you could never stay angry at her. you took the ribbon out of Ophelia's hands and stood in front of her mirror. you quickly tied it into your hair and you looked back at your sister. 

"why did you take it?" you asked as you sat down on her bed. "it's pretty" she giggled before jumping on the bed next to you. your moodiness from before was now completely gone as you watched your sister's adorable face. "Let's get breakfast" you said smiling as you walked out with your sister following behind. you saw your father reading the paper while drinking coffee. "morning father" you smiled as you sat down across from him. "morning" he said not looking up from whatever he was reading. "did you find your ribbon honey?" your mother asked smiling as she out down a plate in front of you and your sister. "yes Ophelia had it" you say taking a bite from your breakfast. "what's so important anyway?" she asked with curiosity in her eyes. you chuckled. "we're gonna be dancing at school today. practise for the ball, I just wanted to look good" you said smiling. "someone to impress?" she asked smirking. "no not really" you said rolling your eyes. "everyone is immature" "and they never get better" your mother said chuckling while she looked over at your father who still wasn't paying attention. you chuckled and put your empty plate in the sink. 

"Ophelia let's go" you smiled at her as she hopped of her chair. "have fun at school both of you!" your mother yelled as you walked out of the kitchen. you helped your sister with your coat as she grinned at you. "so you're gonna be dancing with boys?" she asked and let out a giggle. you chuckled at her and nodded. "god save me" you chuckled causing your sister to laugh in an adorable way. you put on your coat and walked towards the schoolhouse. 

you enjoyed the fresh air and the chirping birds while walking through the woods. it was finally spring! approaching the school house you kissed your sister's cheek before she ran off to her friends. you slowly walked over to your own friends. they were loudly chatting about the ball and what dresses they were going to wear. and off course boys. 

"morning" you smiled as you stood beside Diana and Tillie. they greeted you and went on with their conversation. "I hope Gilbert asks me" Ruby said making you chuckle. "I'll be dancing with Billy" Josie said and a few girls giggled. "Y/n who are you hoping to dance with?" Anne asked with a grin. "no one" you chuckled but you couldn't help but let your thoughts slip to Gilbert for a moment.

stop. you can't do that to Ruby.

you and your friends walked into the schoolhouse. you looked up at Mr Phillips who had a grumpy look on his face. Mrs Lynde stood next to him and she smiled at the students.
"everyone come and stand in a circle" she said with a big grin. you stood next to Ruby and Anne and you looked up at Mrs Lynde. "I'm gonna make pairs" she said looking around the circle. "Okay let's see, Charlie with... Anne" she said pushing Charlie and Anne to the side. "Moody and... Ruby" you looked over at Ruby. she glanced at Gilbert with disappointment. you zoned out until your heard your name. "... with Y/n" you snapped your head up. "with who?" you asked.
"with Gilbert" Mrs Lynde answered and you blushed a little while walking over to Gilbert. he smiled at you. but you looked down at the floor. you looked over at Ruby. she gave you a weak smile. you returned it feeling guilty even though it wasn't your fault.

"Alright students" Mrs Lynde clapped her hands causing everyone to stop chatting. "now you and your partner should hold eachother like... this" she said as she grabbed hold of Mr Phillips. you giggled at the sight. you looked at Gilbert and he took one of your hands. he placed his other hand on your waist. you felt your whole body trembling.
