Anne got to school when she stepped in; she was a few minutes late, Diana stood up "Anne you're back!" she cried.
Anne walked to her desk "please take your seat and don't disturb class" Mr. Philips barked.
As she was sitting at her desk Anne kept looking at the door she cursed her brain for doing so. Why did she care if he showed up or not! So he asked to be friends! And who gives him the right anyway! But no matter she couldn't stop herself from peeking a look at the door when Mr. Philips head was turned.
A few moments later he strode in through the door and took his seat across the aisle from Anne,
"Glad to see you here I was worried you wouldn't be able to come in today," Mr. Philips said glancing up from the blackboard
"No I just got caught up with something is all," Gilbert said absentmindedly, as he glanced over at Anne.
Later that day at lunch the girls were chattering and somehow like most days drifted to the boy Anne dreaded to even hear his name, Gilbert.
"So why do you think Gilbert was late?" said Ruby "it's probably his father" Josie stated
"He wouldn't have come in if that was the case," said one of the other girls "how would you know?" replied ruby.
"What do you think Anne," asked Diana.
"Abou what?" Anne replied, having tuned out the conversation and started a story in her head. Princess Cordelia was about to see her prince when she got interrupted.
"Why do you think Gilbert came in late today, Anne?" Said Josie Pye in a haughty tone.
"Why would I know! And even if I knew why would I care?! I absolutely loathe Gilbert Blythe hmph!" Anne said in a rushed and angry tone as her face turned a flush scarlet color.
"Oh, I don't know how anyone could loathe gilbert." Said, Ruby, as she stood up to look out the window to watch the boys outside "he's dreamy isn't he?" she said in her usual airy, dreamy, voice.
Everybody stood up to look out the window to stare at the boys but Anne just sat and rolled her and mumbled something to the effect of "so what"
