I'm tired.

I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGcVSq6OmX
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bkku9icXw
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNtfGGup1x
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDnInHa9iR
May I know your name? I wrote.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ojYwV1FuX
(Scribbles) What?280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUBU27DwBo
What's that? I responded.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8MBr1hsYs
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC4m9S31yq
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF9mTlzEuM
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Cuw0ywLL
Just as I thought.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDtGUvBZ8V
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XEu8mZ93S
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ORZS27Nww
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGN6o9Xp9T
Yes, Ghandi. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHfseRlPLL
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rB2CyYW5D
Maybe that's it? She agreed.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteAOvx8on9
Chalk. I wrote280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uZVOoEn4Q
Chalk? 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA1VHJn4oS
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Ec0vHQ7z
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0E7S78ZjG
That's seems childish. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPOLg6O7Hg
No, it's cute.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIv2j2MgIX
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXjyVRJkYF
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssm4s0bohA
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkAelFXbYR
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA1iqIvJHm
Good for you. I responded.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS2CZy3HtY
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiZDJukIhv
I hope so too! I replied.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY8ldmZZjb
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx3z1JyNmg
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzdrqnGflC
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!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9eHqLm8pC
Don't you have a crush? she asked280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHPmnDm7kO
That's a hassle. I revoke.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrzuqiQZle
Liar, liar! She accused.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvcRDawsin
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. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtPj7avb7T
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc17vFege6s
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkmXBwA445
Unfair.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Wxocsb2y
Unfair.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsz4ceoCZO
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjII7I6ips9
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCKPDRl3qJ
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?
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q6B1iUQU2
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc49QPkb0Jq
Yey!! Spill it out!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ztValEuNI
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTe1B6QNF9
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxZBPLPYc4
Really? I asked280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxo7211xbi
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcywDQhI5p
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07ZmLfBn9z
Hahah! My bad.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYzILI9EKt
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KWMSHE7T6
;P280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7OjQNF1YV
Let's call her Pen instead.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IHykZ3ql8
Roger!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RMn9sPEVm
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMbXKAt0LE
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D8BDeU8nE
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsCMQJlpn5
How rude! I even started to open up.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO3matDKOm
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrRZ9xnLhx
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5AMXvifou
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiDZkA3QcD
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfznk2e7jpZ
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDhJjFFm43
That's out of my persona.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhULbQTCACU
You're just a wuss. She insulted.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzg6cwDIM0
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms83V9FBgm
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrAxfTpWPT
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyZgZfz4cY
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGDfIcfKII
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd37Pl1uI1
Really?280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYTP993R7D
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAmx2GjYPw
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyLMtQQ2cB
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhlXVM9sv6
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmyadw2RgE
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTbo46WaSu
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSJO4mXgUM
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxRT05KoRW
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nyjOe5msf
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJn8o2BPgC
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy9NxkoBve
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. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NwGjdJzXl
"Is this yours?" I asked.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8nW8w1pr8
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZRwX98DEq
"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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtzh2FF9m4
Chalk? 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GVcoB8ZBS
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NOzZpMar0
Chalk? I wrote again. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum8ZHQ1i6M
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?
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1H0sv03kV
Chalk?
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ49RM62HZ
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfye4f1yzRU
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKq3qr9F1q
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NwLyfIxLk
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5IMgDzpH1
Yes, I hope so too! I replied280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTO2wjZO02
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tfiJjwOgz
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0lntpmVSG
Thanks, Chalk. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqJoKk2RMn
For what?280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREO3zzp02w
For encouraging and pushing me.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRP7YNeSKf
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 wrote280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAlSePULy8
You're weird. I teased.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ExOHSrOQI
Not as weird as you! she fought.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BW0rFe3OM
What? I rebelled.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoSvZhHrH9
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmpp4eaYcE
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ5sDqg5sw
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby5iFktyzv
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyW6cmTgJx
You suck at drawing, Dusty.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0csa7zFaQF
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjRfQX44DR
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9GXgWKp2R
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BWJgKDpHS
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?280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrexV9yZAwG
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq5S2AIliv
"Hey," she called.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC1f53PACy
"Yes?" I replied subtly.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA4EMamlhd
"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!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLARW3SgRf2
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFAYjgNyxw
"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!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw9bbEeW4A
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupSLH4gcNO
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ewvy8eRxU
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3htbkYGkH
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!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT30JFW6kia
Later in the afternoon
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC02pUe1cg
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjkD5uIUEn
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YjcwNvwX6
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD1HQ2JjLm
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYm53MTXiS
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GUg2TylG9
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjlINJ2QzJ
Wow! taking the lead? 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjxF9yNeZm
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTGkEJE602
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsNjLMxq6o
Don't you dare!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MN6T3ihG1
I was just joking!
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB9hIz1cNa
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooK3OdqOef
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnW4rsl350
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCGI2GNRfC
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkrKE8UGwp
I am glad.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7IfVfL2Hm
I am too.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXBTo3VoRE
I guess time's up?280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewBH8pK9U2
I guess so.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvJcwWrB41
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgfC8R9OgI
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl5nQHsmgC
"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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJgrzrb8Dd
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcUvkOYMpx
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSySQ8eN3g
Yes. she agreed.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMzTjyM7sa
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcM9Ltzz0R
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYc4sjfl0e
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgcZVLzCDx
Oh really?280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyjAfWaOGY
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1THha0yM6
She seems drawing something on the board.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBiSzusbCK
What's that? I asked.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVsLkmvlO8
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY3jcHpcqU
You really suck at drawing. I teased.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjk8UKatpn
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1DDNV2ero
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFbkWhwGHy
You can't even see me. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHX1HTsbcm
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb9QGQ2PEn
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNCss2X6Lu
I hope so too. See you Chalk!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaWlPrkbSS
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmPeXrkupw

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzimNmORXsS
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlDEpz3vbK
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ioYsdReEU
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSqdzRDl2u
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FMcFdVo1i
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2tZhx9JKx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUCCkBEcwH
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!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPoBbMrat6
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZHPIxingP
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8eiuS0xno
Then we really are a comrade. she added.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hPagbAvE3
How come? I asked.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXmSdSh1mB
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q9RIImx8W
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jUg8mi43u
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxj4NRxJ9U
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. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTngCxQ9Zx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPfKl2RuCA
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIPMCmm9bH
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP7r52dQfA
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc54Wrg2ur
Really? How so? I inquired.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeKR7RrddT
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRcaFEMkfa
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb1i3dxLF7
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgtcoaX8Ne
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagR9aNEyyx
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNvwL8g1Mt
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpBuovVK5R
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE24Tfasy2P
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS6VG6MDRu
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.
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRik54ZZQQ5
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.280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni3qU4wvPt
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. 280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrC2hGo1zo
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.
