Day 6
And there Anne stood for the rest of the day, a lonely little girl with a small white angry face.
'I hate Mr Phillips!' she thought. 'And I'll never look at or speak to Gilbert Blythe again!'
The next day some of the school children were playing in a farmer's field in their lunch hour, so they were a little late for afternoon school. Anne ran into the classroom at the same time as the boys, just after the teacher.
'You're late, Anne,' said Mr Phillips. 'You won't sit with Diana today. I see that you enjoy being with the boys very much, so go and sit next to Gilbert this afternoon.'
Anne's face went white. 'He can't mean it!' she thought.
'Did you hear me, Anne?' asked Mr Phillips.
'Yes sir,' said Anne and moved slowly to Gilbert's desk. There she sat down and put her head on the desk, with her arms over it.
'This is the end,' she was thinking. 'I wasn't the only person who was late. And he's sent me to sit with a boy! And that boy is Gilbert Blythe!'
The rest of the day went very slowly for Anne. When it was time to leave, she went to her desk, next to Diana's, and took all her books, pens and pencils with her.
'What are you doing, Anne?' asked Diana.
'I'm not coming back to school,' replied Anne firmly.
'Oh! But Anne ... we're reading a new book next week ... and we're playing a new game on Monday, and ... It'll be very exciting! And you'll miss it, Anne!'
But Anne was not interested. 'I'm sorry, Diana,' was her only answer.
That evening Marilla ran round to Rachel Lynde's house. 'Rachel, please help me! Anne says she won't go back to school. What am I going to say to her?'
Mrs Lynde already knew about Anne's troubles at school, and she was always very pleased when people asked her to help. She smiled and sat back comfortably.
'I've had ten children myself, so I know all about them,' she said. 'Anne can stay at home for a while. She'll want to go back to school again soon, I'm sure.'
So Anne stayed at home, and only saw Diana in the evenings. She was a child who felt very strongly. She hated Gilbert Blythe, but she really loved Diana.
One evening Marilla found Anne crying in the kitchen. 'What's the matter, child?' she asked in surprise.
'I love Diana very much,' sobbed Anne. 'I can't live without her, Marilla! But what will happen when she marries? I hate her husband already! I can imagine her in the church in her long white dress . . . and then she'll go away! And I'll never see her again!'
