anne also formed a complex relationship with gilbert blythe, who was three years older than anne but studying at her level, having had his schooling interrupted when his father became ill. on their first meeting as schoolmates, gilbert teased anne with the nickname "carrots". anne, perceiving it as a personal insult due to sensitivity over her hair colour, became so angry that she broke her slate over his head. when her teacher punished her by making her stand in front of the class, and then later punishes her for tardiness by making her sit with "the boys", specifically gilbert blythe, anne forms a long-lasting hatred of gilbert blythe. anne tells diana that "gilbert blythe has hurt me "excruciatingly"". throughout "anne of green gables", gilbert repeatedly displays admiration for anne, but she coldly rebuffs him. her grudge persisted even after he saved her from a near-disastrous reenactment of tennyson's "lancelot and elaine" when her leaky boat sank into the pond. after this almost fatal accident, gilbert pleaded with anne to become his friend but she refused, although she soon came to regret it. for the rest of their school years in avonlea, they competed as intellectual rivals for the top of the class, although the competition was entirely good-natured on gilbert's side. however, anne forms the "story club" at the age of 13, which she tells the story of two girls named cordelia and geraldine (both of which were aliases she had adopted earlier) who both love bertram - a variant of gilbert. the story ends with cordelia pushing geraldine into a river to drown with bertram, which suggests subconsciously anne is attracted to gilbert. near the end, anne and gilbert walk together to green gables, where gilbert only-jokingly says: "you've thwarted destiny long enough." at the end of "anne of green gables", anne looks out of her window admiring avonlea as an "ideal world of dreams", through she sees a "bend in the road" thanks to gilbert. mrs. lynde at the beginning of the book was the self-important busybody of avonlea who dominated the community; at the end, the book hints that anne will play the same role, but only much better in the years to come.
