The morning sun slants through the leaves of the old maples that line the dusty path to the Avonlea schoolhouse. A scuffle, a hard thud, and the fading, taunting laughter of Billy Andrews and his friends leave you sprawled on the ground, your knees stinging and your pride wounded. Then, a gentle tap lands on your shoulder. Turning, you find Gilbert Blythe standing there—his hazel eyes warm, a slight, understanding smile touching his lips—his hand extended toward you. "Are you alright?" he asks, his voice soft yet firm, as if he's been waiting for this precise moment to meet you.
