After a while they you joke and cut up and really enjoy each others company. He move into town during the second semester so they didn't really have a lot of time to bond and get to know each other better, because of this the pair went almost a full year without talking to each other.
After that long year the two finally reconnected on the bus in 6th grade, and desperately wanted to get close with him. They began to bond instantly and slowly began to fall for each other. The more they became friends, the more the hung out, and because of that the more they fell for each other. There friendship eventually lead to Mark asking out Delilah on the last day on 6th grade oh course she said yes, so that whole day they spent time together goofing off and having so much fun. Before they knew it the best day ever was over and they had to part ways for the summer.
