The painting Diana made is hung in Anne's room. Anne tells Marilla she has been invited to the Sunday school picnic, and Marilla accepts it. When Marilla tells Anne about her missing brooch, Anne admits she wore it once, then returned it. After Marilla searches again, she commands Anne to stay in her room until she "tells the truth." She talks to Matthew about it. The next morning, Marilla tells Anne she will not be allowed to go to the picnic unless she confesses. The morning after, Anne tells Marilla she took the brooch but Marilla refuses to let her go. Some time later, Marilla finds the brooch in her room. Anne admits she gave a false confession, which she had rehearsed the night before. Anne travels to the picnic and meets other girls in the nearby area around her age. The next day, Anne goes to Avonlea school for the first time. Anne shows the class her geography knowledge and reads from a poem. She shares her lunch with Diana and other neighborhood girls. Gilbert Blythe, a 14-year-old boy, begins attending school the next day. When he makes fun of Anne's hair, she breaks her school slate over his head. He attempts to take responsibility but Mr. Philips punishes her. Gilbert attempts to apologize, but she refuses his apology. She returns before the bell rings but Mr. Phillips puts her among the boys as punishment. She runs off and vows to never return to school again.
