I'm tired.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RTu5nLc32
I wrote.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfKzYiEeUZ
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXNQKvu4gg
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUuFn4azla
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwT4YK1nFZ
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlajKVCblA
May I know your name? I wrote.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz1v9emXLs
(Scribbles) What?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF3rZzhYoI
What's that? I responded.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjJtzwpDJa
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSre8rd1kQ
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6Qwpgyu59
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZddb9BiyQ
Just as I thought.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBTbeLwhW6
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpUcC0LoXg
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ850CFqtODa
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPgRxN5eqV
Yes, Ghandi. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA1IJMtAqy
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZByt713vSV
Maybe that's it? She agreed.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh85VlOSZ3W
Chalk. I wrote128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoJPkGpg4l
Chalk? 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBJuzFUtAV
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe71Cd77xVB
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lq5Dg4aFz
That's seems childish. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyWftY2L7g
No, it's cute.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNIOouyvbF
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo9ImoQyjl
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIYdna3K4s
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgQzuWlo33
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yKedPPTAh
Good for you. I responded.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oyOM2qINs
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUfjHADrIV
I hope so too! I replied.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvlC8dSzOj
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2zTjGNj4p
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBMA0LiDBd
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!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mYAT4wJp0
Don't you have a crush? she asked128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrnnWIAtJ6
That's a hassle. I revoke.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVAFdJfrTf
Liar, liar! She accused.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DSXvBypaS
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. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMkb9mss1f
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YBbf7yejE
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWJ25f4EZZ
Unfair.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t3zOs9tfu
Unfair.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5owe4bgp9
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLf0aIReti
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvnnobHZFG
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?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVI8A2NNE1
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Xb3UcjQb
Yey!! Spill it out!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoycAumaJX
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGxxrQ90qn
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEl2mWM6qh
Really? I asked128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrwyNkGp11
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hOG3nBh6O
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH39K0seqA1
Hahah! My bad.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU1osuMnWa
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8GrScbFiY
;P128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRM7i6VbGe
Let's call her Pen instead.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzi4eozbMO
Roger!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM42s5DMRtZ
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxMcfwo17f
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBX2fsakzS
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNI4CINfhJ
How rude! I even started to open up.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRD649Np9R
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyrJWguB4r
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJkKtThcCg
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLU4yZXPC9
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zNwVy80jV
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVm0lv6lr2
That's out of my persona.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghWFLaBd17
You're just a wuss. She insulted.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJs8E21F8E
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgFO2VE2yl
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtHNf0rUzq
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdViX9bN4Et
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cKwHtNtiI
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkIgqbURuD
Really?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHQCRMnSJj
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcFq69peNc
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ovn7OhhGv
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H4pdqLgOF
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVNLvIIcFe
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsQaOyeLA3
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98iBL0353h
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tz5NPmuqk
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjmT3RNilm
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNr4UNS8H7
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjvxLokjvR
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. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMAhTUvi8W
"Is this yours?" I asked.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesAOa5lUPB
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuX3ThzxwJ
"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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4VEvgl5wR
Chalk? 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSH8PZcY6Q
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ36LBuVksm
Chalk? I wrote again. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtfHP6CCxM
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?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEyoU9QNnQ
Chalk?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4uSFOXkDm
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuXjce5U4h
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkxkgJfb7s
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SBkDlH0zp
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNseHJbxx7
Yes, I hope so too! I replied128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfBgqogpoX
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6O2YMaWKO
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTptlijt4X
Thanks, Chalk. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCUlG0cwB3
For what?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0SOAHBKAT
For encouraging and pushing me.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB3TtL5OZ3
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 wrote128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZxVXxNbFx
You're weird. I teased.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cNrIUA3WI
Not as weird as you! she fought.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkISgFW5NQ
What? I rebelled.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkJyorukbP
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQRYWOLrLl
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslFe358i1C
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2DK2CGzEO
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISD0qxHxih
You suck at drawing, Dusty.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1eOMid9ub
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BQYl6QyEr
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmMek7g1aC
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKOCBv3E56
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?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxix5jOEqJ8
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ19fDiUt1
"Hey," she called.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGzehgh7Nk
"Yes?" I replied subtly.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XEA3XTa2W
"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!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BZvhD3n79
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BudaiEWMN
"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!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLpSl4yqw0
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNAxDDrUtO
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV82Ek1H7Z
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRiCd1Mo8i
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!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpy1qubhn1
Later in the afternoon
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgtOyn2D1p
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05gqHMgWXn
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGERxn115L
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mw3ULyK3F
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fky8c417F
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAq3BoikSa
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtTFMHMNbk
Wow! taking the lead? 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH9H2w7mGG
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mm8voMivI
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj4ADXeqF4
Don't you dare!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYMd4Axcm6
I was just joking!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagFdLwbGnI
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjJXXtfkLP
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvglIrWt5z
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOKVN1buPT
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVUNrNl2vH
I am glad.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgGwNDXNga
I am too.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ANL38cYgc
I guess time's up?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXPB0CMk5n
I guess so.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtEYLwQ0Fl
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkIAgqxz4j
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsrulI5M0h
"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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVbMkExIVo
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJEDd73ZkT
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsj7HCLLkS
Yes. she agreed.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGlbnD00tv
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pT16shmlz
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmtiImHXe2
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB95PiilBH
Oh really?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr79wbhive
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX7WY6hBcf
She seems drawing something on the board.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaqz9ImBTa
What's that? I asked.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjMOirGLNY
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnK3ZbSt36
You really suck at drawing. I teased.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy9p4LGb7v
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP79P7zSEC3
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2lxF1o5MR
You can't even see me. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytWnmnH2kW
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXJlosgYiO
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSST3PaDcZ
I hope so too. See you Chalk!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EnyIWVPye
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6lFNxATbL

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhulIVFAZr
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3HUC0zQL0
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwoNBTv2t9
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtO43EDxNR
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXanRSojhL
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxkNyxLjPz
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDzJ3jmlgf
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!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFAB3FqZ0E
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnk3JAGSUN
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexdJZQ0HfB
Then we really are a comrade. she added.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gl9VTKQ1n
How come? I asked.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxbl2Rhlms
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTNyrOzbyW
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVDCEMNFMA
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUNNCama0G
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. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4s1EjqnFX
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwJnMOlNjY
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJRNQEJjU0
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENgzaADYY8
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNdzAsNhUm
Really? How so? I inquired.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP6aEdH1kt
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMvAQMdEcy
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxG56QClHl
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfSI7dKGfB
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMVn9zRMym
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekgWhXj78d
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5toJS8l5d4
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkDQkYydVw
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9ZcYDjY0O
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfCwSqg7DI
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.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I8QWBBUB4
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. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nEevSyu0O
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.
