I'm tired.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O3E9dwBfO
I wrote.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ltc4UfEkH
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONbl9SJTfq
I'm all alone currently in my classroom. Exactly 5:45 pm in the afternoon. Light from the setting sun patched the board orange. These words were written by someone from the other side. And it's been a month since I accidentally discovered this phenomenon. Every afternoon, at this exact hour, where the board is painted orange, a ghost writer from the other side shows up. And it's been a month where we were talking by writing to each other. My written words shows up to the other side, same thing as the other side's words.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZZqHfCqsA
My first thought of the ghost writer is someone who has an unfinished business. Unable to leave the world. But as time went through with our discussion, I was wrong. No, we were wrong. I also got t know more about the writer. She's a girl. Same age as me. Going to the same school as mine. That gave me a hint, and asked the current time from hers. It's the same as mine. The date, the time the weather, is almost the same. With a slight difference from little occurrences with our daily lives. And we realized, we were living on worlds parallel to each other.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJGA2YyXAf
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGss9nEhJm
May I know your name? I wrote.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOxoaEDzZS
(Scribbles) What?130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhYihVZO2v
What's that? I responded.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGBhEHmG1C
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ650FT0XAyh
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXCVyNQdpd
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5PTFFCUWm
Just as I thought.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6YD8DgZ0y
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTqDy3uZo6
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjNgsVDFFk
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78mcH5A4Ed
Yes, Ghandi. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qlNYFy9Tb
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Lr4cWqM0
Maybe that's it? She agreed.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1N0XGTgkY
Chalk. I wrote130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1liBW6vPou
Chalk? 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbrzozTgRt
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbgk42sFgZ
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckBuMZE9ZT
That's seems childish. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteM86QYS3Q
No, it's cute.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfS7dFRTAv
Those were my first encounters and interaction with Chalk, the ghost writer. I also speculated that we are not simultaneously existing in either world. That's why I can't know her name nor she could know mine. Since in the first place, neither the person Dust existed in her world, nor the person Chalk existed in mine. That may be the slight differences from our almost copy world.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYBDwqsLvv
Every afternoon, after class, I purposely stay behind. I'll wait until every student in my class go out and went home. I only have at most 15 or 20 minutes to converse with her. Since we discovered that only on this time period, our worlds connects. During dusk, when the orange light paints the board, the chalkboard becomes our intersection where our realities coexist simultaneously. Though I cannot see her, nor she could see me, the writings on the board say so otherwise.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h8djcXBpI
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRXBTGA9df
He's so dreamy! she added. I hope he didn't noticed. I felt my cheeks red, I was blushing Dusty! She's at it again. Very fond of her guy, being so dreamy and so princey I assume.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNiq2r5Ny0
Good for you. I responded.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHcX9hJK2Z
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LOj6vtUS4
I hope so too! I replied.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QVrD7AjvN
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg0ZS1m3vZ
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmWAJF4Tc6
Phheeuu, you're boring. She teased. I mean, what can I do? I don't have much friends, nor do a circle. Up until now, I've been going home earlier than all of my classmates. Sorry for being boring!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39xvwyouIV
Don't you have a crush? she asked130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedp2H7mD2u
That's a hassle. I revoke.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6vJSresfP
Liar, liar! She accused.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx1b6BIBQb
Yes, it's a lie. And I'm a liar. I do have one. She's gorgeously cute, pretty and smart! Dependable yet a little clumsy. She has long hair, cherry lips and have brown eyes. I know these things, but I'm not a creep. I'm just observing her. Even her rosy cheeks and small yet sharp nose compliments her small face. She's got me intertwined just by looking at her. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIu68Pnseq
She's clearly out of my league. I'm your typical high school boy. A mob character from her story. I don't mind though.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFbZXyUArG
Come on, spill the tea. I know you have one. She insisted. We've been talking like forever but I don't get a single ounce of interesting story from you. She added. You're so unfair.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eL1r0lw1u
Unfair.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTqfjmEirA
Unfair.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrSVhx9sVq
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlJKJ9Aes
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdKivq9O9R
I guess it's ok? I just don't want the people around me to find out. They might laugh at me or something and make it awkward. And it's not like she'll tell anyone else. And if she did, none of it wil affect me though. Right?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXBhSUB3xy
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6dZlBWTJs
Yey!! Spill it out!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gx1mc9lWW
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGx2rbSdxV
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpiqbWC2L5
Really? I asked130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSdvoxkxIv
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1kV6jpD9h
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2OuThYLVW
Hahah! My bad.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxCnPSnW78
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRlFxophYu
;P130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRgzBMfm0r
Let's call her Pen instead.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXupLKZMfp
Roger!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFriPcTd56H
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpySh7IPPf
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5PEoB2ByA
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgKM9UUG3G
How rude! I even started to open up.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvyROCcR7O
That's not what I meant. I know she pretty, cute, dreamy. She sounds like me. Let's skip to where you first saw her, met her, talked to her? she explained.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1byjiJnx2
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKoTCKabpg
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6LgfOg553
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nAaQfuPTP
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHzsNQqnEN
That's out of my persona.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxFd0wrs0I
You're just a wuss. She insulted.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN5rQixftL
Hey! Language. Though I don't even mind. I'm sure she didn't know I exist, but acknowledging hers is enough for me. I rebutted.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISNhNrthEK
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfCbmPXwvE
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXFLL8I5kW
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq03amtngF1
Look, sometimes, we ladies want to be approached rather than we approach you. She must be shy. And we do appreciate it a lot more if you make the first move. She explained.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLO7jXSPQ3
Really?130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWgbnqVz14
Yes! I'm 100% sure. Maybe she's interested in you too. Who knows? If my guy just approach me? I'll 100% bite the opportunity and never let him go. And let's call him Paper, as opposed with your pen. she added.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU8DInPZa6
You're scary, and do have a terrible naming sense. Okey, if I'll have some opportunity, maybe I'll try. I wrote with agreement.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGuwV8KqFG
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPDk2BQW7d
I guess it's time to go? I wrote as the light from the board gradually disappearing. We can only write on the section where light touches. And it seems that we don't have much space left. she wrote.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS06lmiV6Lq
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNpx01K8GL
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxMyUnCyTt
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZdq5s2Y2P
Just write faster! Faster than --- the writings cut off. The light diminished on the board leaving completely unilluminated. Including the words we wrote, vanished as the sun sets.
This phenomena is completely incomprehensible. I tried researching but I didn't catch any information. I thought of an urban legend, school mysteries and even paranormal or supernatural, but no information were found. So I decided to document this on my journal. But I doubt anyone will believe this though.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrCclJ3xoG
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoowjPt9z8j
Next day came and I'm heading to school. I walked through the gate and went directly inside our building. As I tread the hallway to my room, I found Pen leaning her back on the wall talking with her friend. I remembered what we talked about with Chalk yesterday. Should I approach her? Talk to her? What would I even say? I'm nervous.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9IOzzpGbr
As I am nearing to them, I saw a handkerchief on the floor not too far from her. That may be hers. And this might be the chance to talk to her? Is this my cue? Is the world giving me opportunities now? I walked towards the handkerchief, leaned down, picked it up, then went to her to hand it over. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpTSv2Y61Z
"Is this yours?" I asked.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2TLoeWG9G
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1nL1ruFCf
"No worries, good morning, bye." these words uttered from my mouth with a cracking voice. Such embarrassment and how awkward can I be? I can feel my ears getting hotter. I zoomed out and zoomed into my room next door. I can feel my heart beats louder, I hope she didn't noticed. But damn, it felt so good talking to her. I can't wait to tell this to Chalk!
Afternoon came so swift. I am eagerly waiting for my classmates to get out of the room. After the last group stepped out, I hurriedly went and shut the door. Then grab a chalk and wrote all the things happened today. Hoping she'll read it and get a reply. After some time, I still haven't got a reply.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzWQBwfU23
Chalk? 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Grj1yqzl
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwIHGJS7z3
Chalk? I wrote again. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHASb2Hscb
Well, it's not that she has to reply right? She also has her life going on her side. She doesn't have to come by everyday just to talk to me, right?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIvyGQQwdx
Chalk?
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzeJ2rBcvy
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrys7huaoY5
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjn032GkSU
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5lJTtsbuL
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJDcfrrEKQ
Yes, I hope so too! I replied130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ugpPjEcae
And speaking of, we met our eyes again today and it is five seconds Dusty! FIVE!! she wrote while writing the figure five in an enlarged manner.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN5A5K7mlJ
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH0wFL6kLa
Thanks, Chalk. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpTqLgpmbc
For what?130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyBd6jNGa3
For encouraging and pushing me.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHE9oYvSns
You know what? I'm all for drama and stories 'coz I'm bored. If you really feel gratitude, feed me your love stories. she wrote130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ979Lm0zyL
You're weird. I teased.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKerWGVuLy
Not as weird as you! she fought.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL6vx8K8pk
What? I rebelled.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qjOcKlDDR
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ssBlQoC4L
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdatvLIQyB
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNBXKz1iF8
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyrFwXlqFp
You suck at drawing, Dusty.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtisQhxhHX
Not as much as y---. The writings cut off. Time's up, and we don't have any light from the sun left. Hope to talk to you again tomorrow Chalk. I'll do my best with my Pen. Don't worry. I wish you the best with your paper too.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pCJ3LF1DV
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVxs4XSgYX
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMqQM67kDh
I head to school and still saw her on the same spot as yesterday, talking with her friend. Sadly, no more things on the floor today. I don't have a cue, nor reason to talk to her. Was that only a limited time period? Better luck tomorrow, I guess?130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmqgCXqGwF
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxgZ82yLvU
"Hey," she called.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkcVpNIBz4
"Yes?" I replied subtly.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOYLp2vwMJ
"Thanks for yesterday. That handkerchief was given to my by my grandma whom I treasured so much. I had no idea I dropped it and might lose my mind if I really lost it." Hey hey, she's grateful, and she's speaking to me. How great is this!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAfqxun0mx
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUiByo0oVg
"Oh, where are my manners, good morning. I'm Zil by the way." I know. "You're from class next door right?" Hey, hey, she knows me? I mean, she doesn't really know me, but it seems that she know I existed? What a wonderful day to be alive!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHy6bgzGgQ
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdBSmt8eHy
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QYjdRRVeI
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtITHRxEG6
Yes!!! I hope she didn't notice my nervousness, and my cheeks getting hotter. I am feeling lucky today! I am so happy! I can't wait to tell Chalk another great news!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJYWsfOG1q
Later in the afternoon
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuxB4e2OiF
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hvVOIXWAY
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5pZDFtYy0
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nvL6qBLqo
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGydxBwMmZ
We've talked a lot about what happened today on my side. On her side, it seems that 5 seconds was still the highest score.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoecR6lyDya
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tEBn5XaFA
Wow! taking the lead? 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCAqzJl6t9
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9eRBUvnDH
I simply wish the best for you and your paper. But, it seems that I'll be the one who'll have it first. And I'll have the bragging rights! I teased.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ80TuGxLr
Don't you dare!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM8cYUZRg5
I was just joking!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETtpOjXBwO
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLqOgjGVHl
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3RpQSmu3B
I always feels like we're comrades from our previous lives. It's very comfortable talking with you even though your literary from other dimension. she explained.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJkVMFXlaL
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ikfQ8oFNF
I am glad.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7YoCsxxsx
I am too.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlojuz3uNCx
I guess time's up?130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG5n7r0gs9
I guess so.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2n0Ok4qg4
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrYlqubd2S
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBMAlTvLNG
"See you tomorrow Chalk." I uttered.
Days went on, and we kept on updating ourselves every afternoon on the events that occurred during the day. I got closer and closer with Zil. While Chalk found out that Paper loves someone else. They're like same gender. She was so heartbroken. I somehow comforted her even though it's not my forte. And we laughed it off. It feels like I am becoming ahead of my rose-colored youth. Ha! Eat my chalk dust! But we really just laugh it off.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQdwurbUv6
Three weeks we're gone in an instant and we encountered ups and downs. Chalk and I shared our stories as those time went on. Our days also gotten shorter and shorter.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGAiJqkeZr
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhr1XVALc2
Yes. she agreed.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwJgU8nPKb
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2oLAJFtB3
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYSdUlcdBq
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjETegk62KB
Oh really?130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMsiT5eRgW
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySWyggxb7N
She seems drawing something on the board.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQTddFklRx
What's that? I asked.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNhG19k6DZ
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsJiR3EyPw
You really suck at drawing. I teased.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEufkcCowGr
Not a sucker like you, xD! she rebutted. I wheezed looking at her drawing. I then laughed out loud. I'm sure she's also laughing on the ther side. I just hope I could laugh this out with her. Though, it'll be weird if I hear her now.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsg3zIYdDh
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35oif1Ef12
You can't even see me. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt90tMjNMP1
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc8a6BSJOC
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhKKzhh0kt
I hope so too. See you Chalk!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTJh0RRmxs
See you Dusty! I'll----. The text cut off. I couldn't help but wonder what she's going to write. But I guess it's just the same as the usual days. We got cut off, but we'll definitely resume the next day. However, this time, it'll take a long time to resume.

Time went on, Christmas came, and I successfully invited Zil out. We enjoyed our time together and had a blast. We ended our time gazing upon a fireworks display. I intended to confess to her and now's the time. I uttered my words and she was shocked hearing my confession. My loud heart beats as loud as the fireworks exploding up in the sky, patching the night with lights. Colorful lights that also reflects to our faces facing each other.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfSv8cscv2

It's been a week since vacation started and three days ago was Christmas, the day I confessed. It's still like a fever dream. I was still imagining the events that folded that day. I'm lying on my bed bothered and restless. I decided to get up and walk around. I went outside and walked to nowhere. I decided to let my feet take me wherever.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDIfmsbv19
After some time, I noticed the orange hue covered the streets I walked through. It's already dusk. Now's usually the time when we talk. A little further I tread the streets, I realized that I am in front of my school. Without thinking too much, I snuck in. I ended up in front in my classroom. I opened the door and silence greeted me.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60cuFu6MJq
I am not used to this silence. Maybe because every time I am here, even when I'm alone, I hear the chalk pressed against the board. Loudly screeching, writing my story for her to read. I grabbed a chalk from the bin, gently pressing it to the board.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceaw9HDDlN
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuI7Z5Romf
Chalk. I wrote.
What am I even thinking. What am I even doing. Was I hoping for something? I might do? Hoping someone would reply and at least hear me out.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUvCarzt3y
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLCPe8Yrwh
No response, as I anticipated. I step away from the board and I put the chalk I am holding back to the bin. As I decided to walk away to the door, I noticed writings emerged from the oranged board that was not mine.
Hi Dusty!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSu4Jl1BHi
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKVmMpbob6
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OL8Odm2lV
Then we really are a comrade. she added.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ljjEUnCsG
How come? I asked.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh7yrr0Xas
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycA2LxScnf
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN8DwXFc1w
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0IgX3uaFV
I don't think that's the case. And maybe, you Paper liked your perfume much that he wants to wear it himself. I rebutted.

Our banters went on as we shared our daily lives from the past few days. I laughed out my heart's content. I can only imagine her silent written laughs and listen to it through my thoughts. As much as I want to continue, but our time is always short. However, I felt so much relief, talking to someone I could share to. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpleYjUKChX
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm57xXlcal
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxqzlCtmnA
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJp3G4Oph2
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc8teSIMXU
Really? How so? I inquired.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyfGjhyw0q
When they're finding a mate, the male bird sings a song. Then, the female will reply by singing too. They're like duetting. Even though their far apart, as long as someone will reply, they'll eventually find each other. she wrote a long paragraph explaining.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf1Aab1Zu1
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnCm9LK9Ox
Yes! Like us, aside from courting and finding each other, we're like singing, duetting with each other, but by writing. Even though we're far apart. she added.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl3PSA91E7
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nMIJmRGFE
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLEPZ15LYO
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVhWizQwYC
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAB7Jgaa0u
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ5lTLq2PC
See you, Chalk.
We said our goodbyes. No more replies were written and darkness covered the room. I better head out or I'll get caught.

Vacation ended, classes started. Same people, same teacher, same classroom. We still interact with Zil after what happened. She doesn't mind being friends with me. And it's ok for me. I also look forward our friendship with Zil.

Classes ended, and the setting sun slowly closing in. People gradually vacate the room. As the last person left, I followed him towards the door, making sure no one is outside. I closed the door and immediately grabbed a chalk and wrote.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuWzAn003b
Long time no write!
How are you Chalk?
Are you there?
Chalk?
I've never gotten any replies from her since classes resumed, and it was almost a week. I was getting kinda sad. I kept writing and writing, but no replies came in.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp26poWkTsM
Is the magic board not working anymore? Maybe it was a limited edition? Free trial? I don't understand. Why are they giving something, but take it back? But I can't complain. I can't control it. I don't even understand this mechanism. And I am powerless.

I realized that we were not supposed to meet. In fact, we're from a different reality. We only had that chance to meet, only on that time. Only on that time we intersect. Only on that time, our worlds overlap. Only on that time, I could know her. Only on that time, after that, we drift.

Chalk? You said we're songbirds. I looked it up, and I hated it. But I can't do anything about it. Because now, like that bird, I'm waiting for your reply. Can you hear my song? It's just too sudden. I know, we are songbirds in a different reality. We're not supposed to be singing with each other. Let alone duetting at the same time. Here I am, still singing, waiting for your reply. A reply that I know you can't hear anymore. 130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5LtHR7TmO
I just want to duet with you one last time. I just want to you to know I missed you. I hope you could hear me. I hope these feelings of mine transcends world to reach you.

I know it won't.
