6.A cold

Rose's pov

Since I came back home last night I haven't been able to stop sneezing.

I had a slight fever but I don't think it's contagious. I wanted to go to school but Aunt Elizabeth wouldn't allow me so I had to stay in bed all day.

I was reading a book while trying to be comfortable when I heard a knock on my door.

The door opened. Aunt Elizabeth walked in with a tray filled with food.

"How are you feeling darling?" she asked as she set the tray on my side table with a smile on her face.

"I'm feeling better now. Thank you for asking" I said as I returned the smile.

She took a seat on the edge of my bed.

"Gilbert Blythe passed by this morning. He said he wanted to see you?" She said looking down.

Blood rushed to my cheeks. "I-he probably w-wanted his sweater b-back" I laughed nervously.

She laughed and left a room with a smirk on her face.

The blush never left my face.

Gilbert's pov

This morning I went to the Barry's house to check up on Rose. Mrs. Barry told me that she was sick so I said id come back after school.

At school, I couldn't stop thinking about last night. I blushed at the thought.

"Ohhh who's the special girl~" said Billy in a sing-song voice.

"No one," I said clenching my jaw turning back to the board as everyone turned to look at me.

Blush slowly raised up on my cheeks.

Third-person pov

The girls turned back and whispered things into each other's ears giggling while Anne and Diana kept looking at Gilbert weirdly.

The boy's cheered as Gilbert's embarrassment just rose. He put his head down on the table.

Luckily the bell rang and Mr.Phillip came in.

"Open your readers to 145"

The class soon came to an end and everyone packed up their things and left for home.

Gilbert walked through the path he usually went but then took a detour to the Barry's house to see Rose.

As he walked up to the door the memories flashed through his mind. He smiled to himself.

Did she like him or was it just a friendly kiss? Questions swarmed his mind.

As he was lost in his thoughts, Diana opened the door because had seen him coming.

"Hello there Gilbert!" Diana said confused at why he had come.

"Hello, Diana. Is Rose home?" Gilbert asked.

A smirk spread across Diana's face when he mentioned Rose.

Diana had gotten the idea that something was going on between the two.

"She's upstairs. The room on the left" Diana said a smirk still on her face.

As Gilbert went upstairs Diana quickly rushed to Green Gables after asking her mother for permission.

As soon as Anne opened the door Diana dragged her to her room.

"D-Diana! Where are we going?! Why are you here?!" Anne asked at her best friend laughing a bit.

"I have something to tell you!" Diana said running to Anne's room.

When they got in the room Diana sat Anne down on the bed. 

"Diana! What is it?!" Anne was excited to hear what she had to say.

"I think Gilbert likes Rose!" Diana squealed. Anne's face was priceless.

"Really!? Are the feeling mutual?!" Asked Anne the shock never leaving her face.

"I think they are!" they both squealed again jumping up and down.

Meanwhile back at the Barry's house.

Gilbert wandered through the halls finally finding Rose's room on the left side of the hall.

It had a dandelion attached to it. Gilbert remembered that she told her that it was her favorite flower. So now he was sure it was her room.

He knocked on the door and waited for a reply.

He heard a muffled "come in!" from the other side.

Gilbert slowly pushed the door open and saw a bed with someone in it.

"Gilbert!" Rose said with a smile.

"Hey.. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.." Gilbert said slowly entering the room.

"Oh here's your jacket.." She said getting up walking over to a chair with Gilbert's jacket on it. She handed it to him and went to sit on the bed.

"Oh no keep it. Please" He said handing it back to her.

She was surprised but folded it and put it back on the chair.

They sat back down on the bed and started talking about school, family etc...

Night began to fall and Gilbert went home.

Rose had supper with the family and she felt like something was off.

She didn't think much about it and went back up to her room to go to bed.

She went to sleep dreaming about Gilbert.
