I'm tired.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYip4AdBS2M
I wrote.

I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVP3kMtuBa
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM27GQGDbhc
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVmQSr3R2A
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IzbmRfd09
May I know your name? I wrote.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5MDkIru0o
(Scribbles) What?305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA1JtOMIKZ
What's that? I responded.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4KTf4d9a2
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3PD5GDNqZ
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWytPGcaWK0
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy14MhzDprd
Just as I thought.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqez22PODUG
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc02UbCAULt
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZtyOXGoID
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRlGKt47wg
Yes, Ghandi. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ915cPT8lw1
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzXjvK1zKL
Maybe that's it? She agreed.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTFyd552x0
Chalk. I wrote305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNhtEXRRFz
Chalk? 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5rqAwvaCd
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbACsEEa0Ty
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0SGI94F7x
That's seems childish. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaQdWC8tdn
No, it's cute.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy6tzOmHVW
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo1NLYbnrv
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNzWhL7liR
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡungELHHWGH
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtX4VBiEvQ
Good for you. I responded.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtnlLyY76k
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiyu49GyL1
I hope so too! I replied.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNA0EThHpZ
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hBBCIDI1l
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pkB1HtGvm
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!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbOvM7aX29
Don't you have a crush? she asked305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwSUWExTag
That's a hassle. I revoke.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL9dQuJWzs
Liar, liar! She accused.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GklE1q7Gk
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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G16fr5fEI
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiApVPY4Em
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk14CPVMwn
Unfair.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PbyQJqtMr
Unfair.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWJnHKBr4Y
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LAI6TYN6i
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4PGIMqbKC
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?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqtOCXn97L
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXMa1ivGfe
Yey!! Spill it out!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLAOtgLQAq
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38AfPuTufR
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6F8Ry0zLb
Really? I asked305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnBLHKrhSI
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ1RohyUVW
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb83QZrKDyR
Hahah! My bad.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenIXHUf2vU
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0kp5t0VIX
;P305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8fwOK6QWc
Let's call her Pen instead.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeyugA309V
Roger!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6tNKrQP0b
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPRDk2WYpb
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmjlmW3MoJ
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq52OIIbEO
How rude! I even started to open up.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tl3sh2Uyc
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJW2wlygDB
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61YSHTQBhH
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SyTwuSIKn
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjxRLO5cRY
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEmaAWNlSK
That's out of my persona.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kNFtV2jdw
You're just a wuss. She insulted.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRfiE6syC5
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRD7ekAK21
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzowy81Vd1M
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjny3PJok2
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqNg2qaKHO
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q3sVqNJcY
Really?305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomL8Vjtc2c
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYD4zcROxw
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2Q4q9xg4p
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zDpoao5eN
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfEsCCMnHO
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQSVTVV9Zl
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfyhfhaRdk
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NtQFWFrsC
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iWFUBso0q
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtlCXcYGwo
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s0QMdfz1m
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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQinTr4Twxp
"Is this yours?" I asked.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi3pRWRtzq
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzK5HxlkEY
"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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrnFGivQDq
Chalk? 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1SPp3oJ0h
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5DNBZhL59
Chalk? I wrote again. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicGBQbG1LU
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?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ShDsOdWU0
Chalk?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Q1wf5OKk
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfAA3PIzu4
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMIslNTq4x
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEAFkdguRj
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEKBVVTV1t
Yes, I hope so too! I replied305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ2PbTCK8F
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30tdrWYYAL
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhf2PP856C
Thanks, Chalk. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1FsftRwsH
For what?305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3UGH2LAsV
For encouraging and pushing me.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB1jcrlLxU
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 wrote305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwoc3dPPDl
You're weird. I teased.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjel3Px2Qwa
Not as weird as you! she fought.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbm1BaMgmr
What? I rebelled.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdoRRPVYMO
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKlN68wZUB
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEV11sbq7v
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdab96pXn0
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIeAgxdO5i
You suck at drawing, Dusty.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRcWDpUVQt
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW1i9nRWfO
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YlL4NDDK6
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsxsoTBpRA
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?305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKb4Tyrv9o
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCEdg5qbcP
"Hey," she called.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRW7zRRXkT
"Yes?" I replied subtly.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzUgLSQB97
"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!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuhoaSn5kf
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWAVCrm0QP
"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!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1l2earzl1
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO64Rj2jVYb
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXB4xutGaC
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBpMlwiNTa
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!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKARRVg3fey
Later in the afternoon
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDqBdF3bas
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Fk3ZXqsu
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBfl02OYRh
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV1dCmEY2Q
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l4lJxuXJ5
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv65G3kqkFE
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMZbl0OIx5
Wow! taking the lead? 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0onhxHMDWH
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6EV3wYVmR
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof9lr9uwtf
Don't you dare!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCjqZcKSQZ
I was just joking!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKg6b2pQPe
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpW07JbTw5
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP9NWpD0p3
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQiRpggP43
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FNfkl28py
I am glad.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3t92pf8Sf
I am too.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeltaC6mtx
I guess time's up?305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN5tZEVBjD
I guess so.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB60eQBeZQ1
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtVdWD6h8O
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrrex88UMv
"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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tM0xKanNj
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAZHX4oGRt
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmraizM5lBt
Yes. she agreed.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSGIoXb0kQ
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G7G0NhkUX
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk99rdtqJ7U
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiy6Ufgx16
Oh really?305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSSXNRpPjl
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fskMvzCNG
She seems drawing something on the board.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV5R18Iqye
What's that? I asked.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vYebkRjyb
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5n61ZmhAk
You really suck at drawing. I teased.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchSgdrjfs9
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB5dPwboaI
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhlNzzDfCq
You can't even see me. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfNQoVrvvO
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKObXEh5sJ0
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3ce8NYt7o
I hope so too. See you Chalk!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchoLDwi2Bz
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb6nuzXw7O

305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAN8ALO3Dk
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DZA2MczyR
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnlZ8mXc1M
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCJIpuqr7t
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSihH57qzi
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERRtJhMl9m
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtosA08cElS
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!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcN2k9H0z0
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hesb7ymvz
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHAxV3T7mi
Then we really are a comrade. she added.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVlPxE2Fpf
How come? I asked.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHd3mHJIWn
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW6SoZI2mh
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgSy1CzGXN
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAx6yo8p26
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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMpPbeexAa
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM1NgEIlLn
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlVRRmN2zn
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhc96bBFnp
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiMtSBrrRx
Really? How so? I inquired.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8IxuYCqET
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn0R4dVxSF
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLQykPE2yK
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBWetrMMTp
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv9Qn5lsHY
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n17WmqXcc
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAhbfZodPC
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2hX1SuN00
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Knor9nur5
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw3ue5M43N
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Obkk2uXIs
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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbB69NxwOi
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.
