Hey There Delilah

*I do not own Hey There Delilah or the Plain White T's band. Just thinking about how much potential there is in that song for a story*

Chris's heart felt heavy as he walked to school one last time before summer-the last time he would ever walk this path. School was a bit boring to him, but he would at least get to see his friends...And his girlfriend, Delilah. Yes, particulary that. But no longer. His father told him last night that he had lost his job, but was hired to a new job. In the Florida keys, more than 1,000 miles away. That would mean meeting new friends there and saying farewell to the friendship and trust he had earned from everyone in the school. And from one or two, even love. He was barely paying attention to the outside and a busybody cabber honked at him when he crossed the street to Hudson River School. And there she was outside now, waiting for him.

(I know my other stories were sorta shit, so lets start with a clean slate here. Please bear with me, this will take a while to build up)

Delilah had auburn hair that shone in the sunlight as she ran towards him. She noticed how down he looked and asked, "Chris, whats your trouble?" He told her, and a single tear fell from her eyes. He made a move to wipe them away, like so many diamonds in the light. "Even though we will be so far away, I can still email you and maybe if you ever go to the Keys, we could see each other there. Besides, i still have all summer and September to be with you." Delilah said, her face brightening a little," Yes, we still have some time left."

  In the buildin he carried out his regular 7th grade slacker routine; Dozed through Bio, slept through Spanish, and napped through Anthropology. But he was bolt upright  in music, and when he recieved his guitar which he kept in the music room closet, he began composing. "Hey there Delilah whats it like in New York City..." He only finished one verse when the bell rung for study. He didnt have anything to do, as today was his last day and he had free study hall he did nothing besides messing around on his iTouch. He soon grew bored of destroying the competition on Tanks, so he moved towards Delilah. But, as fate will have it on these moments, the bell rung for lunch just then. The rest of the day carried itself out in the same rough sequence.
