Anne's teeth gritted against each other, she was bursting with curiosity. She couldn't bare open her eyes, she though of the shame. What  if she was forced to kiss Gilbert, 'would it be so bad?' She questioned herself as butterflies erupted in her stomach. 'Yes what are you thinking Anne it would be dreadful!' She re-assured her self. 'I couldn't allow Josie to slap me, that would be worse than kissing Gilbert!' She thought to herself. 'I have to open my eyes.' She told herself, and just like that she did. The bottle was facing- ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Josie?" The first word that broke the silence, bubbles from Anne Shirley-Cuthberts lips. No one had managed to say anything. Josie didn't even noticed the bottle had landed on her, she was gazing at Jerry, who was gazing at Ruby, all the while Ruby was starring hatefully at Josie. Anne's words must've broken her trance because she looked up after hearing the spiked words. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"What? No I can't go twice, Anne you can go.." Josie trailed off mesmerized by the French boys brown locks. Anne shifted quickly and glanced at Gilbert hoping he wouldn't se ever stare, however he did and they made eye contact. "The butterflies" they were twisting around her stomach again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"I'm sorry?" Everyone looked confused at Anne for a moment. 'Oh no, I said that out loud!' She scorned herself in her head. On the outside she seemed like a nervous wreck but in the inside she was not only a nervous wreck but she was also screaming in terror. "The closet!" The unsettling silence was once again broken by Tillie, shouting from beside Anne. "I'm sitting to the left of Anne, aren't I?" She questioned as everyone nodded in agreement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anne reluctantly stood up, you could see her trembling, she hated confined spaces. Before she went to the supply room following Gilbert she was stopped by Diana. "Talk to him, he's a kindred spirit bursting at The seems." With Dianas kind whispers she trailed behind Gilbert and entered the Closet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first few seconds were nothing less than horrible, the lights were still on however the accidentally got a glimpse into each others eyes. Anne awkwardly starred at the ground while Gilbert gazed at her Red locks. And with a quick flash the lights turned off. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The sudden change in scenery startled Anne, she felt back against the floor board quite dramatically. The provoked lots of gawking and mockery from the children outside, listening intently. Gilbert being the gentleman he is went to go help her up, but stumbled and landed on top of her, luckily he fought himself before his full body weight crashed over her.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[Gilberts POV]⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'I get to go into the closet with Anne Shirley' he said to himself eagerly. His cheeks turned a rosy red color, something he tried to hide. He didn't want anyone to know he was ecstatic about this. 'Should I kiss her?' He questioned to himself under his breath. He hoped it was low enough for no one to hear, however Diana was paying attention to him very closely in that moment. She giggled and turned away. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The closet was a little cold, his eyes were adjusting fast but not as quickly as Gilbert hoped. Once his eyes could finally see the beauty in front of him she had fallen over. As quick as a cat he stumbled and fell as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"I'm  hovering over Anne Shirley" he mumbled under his breath, but with their faces in suck close proximity it was hard for any noise to be missed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"You really should y'all in your head Blythe." Suggested Anne to his previous comment. With that he rolled over to the side of her and stood up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For a moment they both tried to look away from each other but the tension was to strong, it was like gravity was attracting them closer, the both inched a few steps closer to each other subconsciously. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They we're gazing at each other blissfully, Gilbert was on the brink of leaning in until they were interrupted by the off key Melody's of Billy and Charlie m, mocking old love songs in horrible voices. Anne banged against the door, they eventually stopped the deafening noise they labeled singing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Anne had hit the door a bit of paint chipped off, paint that had covered a whole. Quick to notice was Josie Pye, she put her eye against the door ease dropping at Anne and Gilbert's precious seven minutes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once the music had calmed and the room was once quiet the gravitational pull, pulled the back together, inch by inch. Anne's cheeks were being bright right, as were Gilbert's but they didn't seems to mind. They were happily enjoying each others presence. They felt the pressure to kiss, but at the same time they felt a weight lifted off of them but it was indescribable. Every word didn't seem to fit for Anne, she ignored every voice in her head convincing her she hated him. She bit it back. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"3 minutes!" Shouted Moody from the other side of the door. Gilbert watched the gleam of her eye reflect against his own. He debated kissing her, he imagined the taste of her lips and the sensitivity, he imagined everything down to the creases that would Aline with his, he was so lost in thought he didn't notice when Anne arose, high on her tippy toes to reach him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their Breaths were warm, back and forth. Her nose met his gently, for a moment. Then suddenly she felt that gravitational pull, grasp at each others lips and pull them together. The moment was sweet, unlike anything either of them thought up in their heads. It was perfect.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Almost. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The events of those seven minutes would've been everything Anne had ever dreamed of, if it weren't for Josie Pye's meddling eye. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Oh she'll be damned to hell before I ever let her forget this!" Josie shouted stomping away from the door. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
