I'm tired.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu1zZFURDN
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nAkxy5UpS
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAqCjVCC1I
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEII0GCLfuu
May I know your name? I wrote.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIvjRhmobw
(Scribbles) What?166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7oGtMLMh1
What's that? I responded.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEifGxA0GLl
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jefb8ASuN
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDVTeHliU0
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2HOnkCBuV
Just as I thought.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHMkDrvK2A
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWJxvmm3va
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfgQQuMhdQ
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk46BLaRT2
Yes, Ghandi. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMEopLYWfd
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXsM46yJ6Z
Maybe that's it? She agreed.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQxgNizgqx
Chalk. I wrote166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvCgPI4na9
Chalk? 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5wjUtdDRJ
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CCtzkwYmG
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftc1bTaAjs
That's seems childish. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5ox5sSy8r
No, it's cute.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1ruBhUVJg
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCud1a5XYEq
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXQGxZ5ntE
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY03PV3N5p
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYXOpANxYT
Good for you. I responded.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81YlWRFRUp
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsuCu9WrML
I hope so too! I replied.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKChlYsYZDf
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxx3VlpWm5
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgUcpJPikf
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!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwkiuNBoDV
Don't you have a crush? she asked166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgePnWawLMJ
That's a hassle. I revoke.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pABNafiQB
Liar, liar! She accused.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFyHOlrUDb
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. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8t1fZONLs
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xIIfT0RXD
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEfLxRwLS3
Unfair.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNErhMW1Oh
Unfair.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY3nq6Ltjg
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NQHqo5uzp
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD7qBuXZFS
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?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZnY4ZO1XY
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp6EQ2t7uQ
Yey!! Spill it out!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFr7La8LzS
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTku7J1jHPD
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NPNtEx7Fy
Really? I asked166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiPrRm4nCk
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQEN5w9fDo
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRTpCqPr1U
Hahah! My bad.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CvJctcO2g
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tvI8msutF
;P166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu2CmUrQkt
Let's call her Pen instead.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoytVUB8ovR
Roger!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj4218OrAx
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YZDm26QMU
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJv6tmEVJv
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefJHGOeEQS
How rude! I even started to open up.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE14hdMJ2qe
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwunRAkfVC
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9PnKw5JY4
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC01C1uffI
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF9TvJXuTG
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi8vkKsas4
That's out of my persona.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfb6RvFiGO
You're just a wuss. She insulted.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05pRwEw6oD
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn9e5rvDxC
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAd1WAaG9C
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRlJeiOAZk
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEzt163faX
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngJg2CJwEk
Really?166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcELaASmlls
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeEFLs7l50
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvCzrxx5J8
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6pvirYVpW
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfNoHsqYhC
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweW6n1fyPF
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIMb9ZSYhd
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlfbQAkYPV
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3edLjTP4b
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxAT1qofYU
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5ZE2bzwWh
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. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh4wPBA5dn
"Is this yours?" I asked.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhOpBjwFQ6
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpUotJKVKy
"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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJNA5F7a1E
Chalk? 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaknwlrgBuv
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXxaU9Drh9
Chalk? I wrote again. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewnp4qdIv0
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?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgf85LYLrR
Chalk?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu2n2ysLPA
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyavZJCApX
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G6Df2tZcy
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOvzUmwZJf
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxrgBlKHNa
Yes, I hope so too! I replied166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw9Ml0lP1h
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAQTaVG3z4
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWywDuZVogv
Thanks, Chalk. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5RCRCQNxJ
For what?166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXUgMYYP8T
For encouraging and pushing me.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUjIUtvVv0
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 wrote166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOwesXqNJH
You're weird. I teased.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjXmTkEsEG
Not as weird as you! she fought.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuKoq3n4Te
What? I rebelled.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZcgrZee3A
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZrPoXhwVb
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TzsJ2kqKJ
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsClqkJpPKp
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TWglr4A3Q
You suck at drawing, Dusty.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYzrLHLGob
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ0YmM7xSI
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOozzweEITS
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6FOwGXigc
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?166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtzrPcwwd4
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o0ClDa0UQ
"Hey," she called.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5VkVrhJkX
"Yes?" I replied subtly.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrl7yiUHHV
"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!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3uULKMLdc
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoDUnGUfId
"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!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IndmRBeyd
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKVTqfBiqN
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LK6jyB6x3
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeyftmXJ59
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!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7WDUwDxsQ
Later in the afternoon
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRTy0ktgkn
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfaqp374k0
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk0lvOvF5Q
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOSNyHud3a
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxsW2Fh6sc
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI9nL53heL
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA76jYRrCK
Wow! taking the lead? 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkieQ3BeoRu
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd7wyz7g8l
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoqp9gWgKs
Don't you dare!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1hanp9590
I was just joking!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdWwnNwgw2
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh8s8OY75k
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBTWwfJTw4
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3ObDrD2WN
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwriewFj64n
I am glad.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmKH6RpYzu
I am too.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuHV6qJCEB
I guess time's up?166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzUiVEiJP6
I guess so.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ8maSnZSP
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP5bf44z8U
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2WVhBdSY5
"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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhkLFhjqM8
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIlNwMtnTZ
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt1GOBzg4Y
Yes. she agreed.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuTBcMEsZO
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8ZcIiaA1l
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlmfsrFFXi
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXxfXuvz8x
Oh really?166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxmr4DfkVA
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquUyK5gIml
She seems drawing something on the board.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FxH59QJ35
What's that? I asked.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J17TeVlOr
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa98zyaw5xF
You really suck at drawing. I teased.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvZLyXK6Cm
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyogNguYcrT
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkCMu6hHNt
You can't even see me. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg7JvppcM8
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH41KATOIPu
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZKRSppRVS
I hope so too. See you Chalk!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxXdvUbobu
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K4bgxHnYx

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BQdcHNvUo
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb5PmRskwQ
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJP4UEqwHI
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBEV3C2Qwj
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFku338XFya
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu70CcDTDw0
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T7xFgf6AT
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!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRecb75kiw
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepIewwzrZ3
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXzPWmZ9UX
Then we really are a comrade. she added.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAgBkJtuOP
How come? I asked.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsrFCtFiA3
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBBOQ9vkL4
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7De2PevYU
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtcQqZddI8
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. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxcd5rdyOr
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXUuca2vio
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF40u7o6CA
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtJbD9VUZa
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFIHYdRmzc
Really? How so? I inquired.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx86sCDpU5
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa40w5lkUL
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7aFknkUgt
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKmBY69cV1
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWg5Ktv33b
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wp960K2LI
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO9pnmkJZz
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgdVltsuP6
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFCZIhvDzv
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI1SBiQYcB
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6e1fTiRb1
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. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNb47RbBAD
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.
