I'm tired.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5y5DGsfsn
I wrote.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq8WG2RkwU
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBxTZ7GqOx
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlYccUoNEj
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok2lfnQkIi
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvorp2PRQG
May I know your name? I wrote.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzh24HVZmv
(Scribbles) What?134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFcD7FwxWb
What's that? I responded.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXZuVIl9G0
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRTcJ5nYuF
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2loLFbyFC
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztUkYzhyXb
Just as I thought.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1LdkCgnnA
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWXyMpyEzm
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EF3ON7lGv
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV97JeHA0Dz
Yes, Ghandi. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1mt6deVES
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ED6J4hIEy
Maybe that's it? She agreed.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VL0PML3A6
Chalk. I wrote134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKtAJ2DXVm
Chalk? 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVFCq64Nf9
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t36Flvz1h
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosgJbQHiPY
That's seems childish. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04SW9cNqn6
No, it's cute.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS7KY3OpiV
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnhAmTHyaU
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLoE3ayQKa
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrJcicoaZ2
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw5LzzMC1O
Good for you. I responded.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3yf386k4M
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKbqdDizNO
I hope so too! I replied.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxFAp77R4x
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOBMxsnhRz
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBreysnD1PR
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!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oTNRfquhn
Don't you have a crush? she asked134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrz3cNxyTs
That's a hassle. I revoke.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIdL0pUUIF
Liar, liar! She accused.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jIGMgET2f
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. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoVMQJKc3S
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0VNtDWrKV
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukESSTI9nu
Unfair.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDQ9bAaKpZ
Unfair.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMPx3wfubx
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGcjytckae
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN8juKmDU4
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?
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAZsOBEfl1
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M53Ksl7ei
Yey!! Spill it out!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpRg7pseir
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R3dJGohFZ
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnvxmQlSQ5
Really? I asked134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFTfnnclk2
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3JBhXTbgz
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ILSQRk16
Hahah! My bad.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSgmZuOJQK
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7UxQpnUAr
;P134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZWKs9DznO
Let's call her Pen instead.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLrIAYanuv
Roger!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC46ZRgOOt
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz8VFS8yh9
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dK0NJLIta
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cJHAIOWAv
How rude! I even started to open up.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGD8rkvYfi
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vwz7oMjBY
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I4x5J9bXh
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvNxNzw2Qe
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAPzfXcyNJ
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zefp5sp3O
That's out of my persona.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJgZ2HDzaD
You're just a wuss. She insulted.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Zgca29Ur
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZHejLQ5Es
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCfif2Qsbg
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHkP5GDBT2
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ35uGmkYLM
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSGZ4Y0kkJ
Really?134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2i2M1sIwb
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDvH5MMljC
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxBoPy3kzS
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdncOhvBnAY
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQEqtDjyF1
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf5COHCnlG
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYutRdlyYV
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFCaONFa7F
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJMnSgmdEt
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF2zk2nzRf
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwqzTHZfiU
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. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0WCfa1hFW
"Is this yours?" I asked.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWlGnmucio
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVrcxrQQgO
"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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAsL6cElmk
Chalk? 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuq0U3bt5B
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEXDf3tBoG
Chalk? I wrote again. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3LwhmfyQG
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?
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XYJ8j5kgP
Chalk?
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnauh2FPFCx
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vboftimjw
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOynVUMBSV
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqBULZ7gxp
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jZWWSus7p
Yes, I hope so too! I replied134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi7IuN87EP
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTRCcNZp8E
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfz2nxrlqB
Thanks, Chalk. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXysDH0q2y
For what?134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9EZzNGuwA
For encouraging and pushing me.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE71km8BQT
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 wrote134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLyrg8rgXl
You're weird. I teased.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZXaih5Hbf
Not as weird as you! she fought.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknxMzPRKYb
What? I rebelled.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxkD9ADXoC
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXbHbG9NnG
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsKsslKoa6
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYoFhIZvJl
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVdg1Nolxo
You suck at drawing, Dusty.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtLfcUL79x
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelSTGHmseO
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJgGqLGNye
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEKo8SJ5qp
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?134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWXdzBHwpp
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLva3Gj3jVV
"Hey," she called.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA077bvSKfK
"Yes?" I replied subtly.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVRyyB7dMs
"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!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC098k4ePV
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJRn0pxr6D
"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!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFASJVSdfCh
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTCZmTUr45
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqtfMfFi5c
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAs7oLUsZu
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!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJful4diPyR
Later in the afternoon
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnhkcR0ILK
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1d0QiyKJp
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX53irzDwO
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY7wXMRvAf
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzLuy1Gie2
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjEUG7fFP0
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuQsBUnwJh
Wow! taking the lead? 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul9hEzBeYv
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjGt3McYVO
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhcPDapQEL
Don't you dare!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI7iz4kEPs
I was just joking!
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKJrDpBkAT
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhq2cSfei2
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA37mgEqS64
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbUwdnF68J
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFkJiu2ibZ
I am glad.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5ErqF0q1n
I am too.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmmnRcRWZA
I guess time's up?134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiH4KwK7HV
I guess so.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULDxVyU6xz
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf7A1YzChq
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzI3Ghkvnm
"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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UiJfpfAWf
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ6uJDEmh2
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RBXjW2CWh
Yes. she agreed.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtYrveXM3L
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOedHR4dBq2
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLKshE8cLj
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLD1Bgl0fY
Oh really?134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I5UqqOJex
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu7OE7AcdI
She seems drawing something on the board.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnVXrnQ9rS
What's that? I asked.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg2Z9WfqDq
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9NuSOpCnH
You really suck at drawing. I teased.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfCHFcz8jO
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqD9tjQUxy
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4q4BNhEM7
You can't even see me. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0vX92QGEF
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjvR7TjPHl
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkJH9ASzML
I hope so too. See you Chalk!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsvWHnRBcK
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjrCId29qw

134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBXXtgQWef
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI0sQHs4vG
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYr5szIJGp
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOBKdjBDjl
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jr0xSMap8
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVv9JXE5nL
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VlWtLvvG0
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!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5sg6vqFwB
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4wT3LO7LQ
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8lCq1ouIV
Then we really are a comrade. she added.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKMQFDAKV1
How come? I asked.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CpPAGqjOy
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGs8fI0tuY
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXFaSGYXPQ
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9VGJG4PnG
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. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tmL4tunZZ
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1naletVFNb
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uKlVFieGE
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav2DLtgtLU
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHNlXIUvLE
Really? How so? I inquired.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DLYKdgwCP
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUVh9nqFCS
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoxZyQAdJ6
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MGHfkwv5E
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQRqwbzGeS
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0av9zJvQ10
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9TazvSpsk
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuihiKq6i2m
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53Mwr4Dtvb
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.
134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zQb61PyiX
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.134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFy37ORBy7
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. 134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RmswMOc5q
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.
