I'm tired.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ibc3IyAO

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHocVG2Bf2
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01DoNZWfru
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy0gtsWgCK
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHQ08wm5Xq
May I know your name? I wrote.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpWUONAqGJ
(Scribbles) What?129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3jrK71hPG
What's that? I responded.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpMUBSbygA
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPBleMp1mt
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2KFFscd0N
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1S8TEnq4Q
Just as I thought.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5wBFgO2CE
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwp9B8SCmE
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9MdjuPQ5M
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWB4NqnZIk
Yes, Ghandi. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX6t4Ttf1G
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pZ9F5Scd5
Maybe that's it? She agreed.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonPxNocsob
Chalk. I wrote129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThgr5vLtJ5
Chalk? 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0SXzAHbyM
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1K2ExloUI
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpdvZZYX1Q
That's seems childish. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3ucdEzKxT
No, it's cute.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7naqlVEpu
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLbNNzQ1yc
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8WcgPvJ4V
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe6wy4vhnl
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeshSuuFZUw
Good for you. I responded.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcjbC1P9xl
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNWLGGpPkC
I hope so too! I replied.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQIqENewwE
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBR3x6Ul2g
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxyn58BHz3
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!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZgEdLzkAf
Don't you have a crush? she asked129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkjap3SZ34
That's a hassle. I revoke.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxrX1UpCj6
Liar, liar! She accused.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJKhdqc0uE
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. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lRwLHjOIW
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUVavuFIHJ
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGo1uqSOr7
Unfair.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmspRkfdl9
Unfair.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuueFp4iiNu
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzjZMRrLb9
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUnZLAEWbt
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?
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXJ7ojt7AA
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmNagPw9ol
Yey!! Spill it out!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vC1eLygdP
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvef21TUQhL
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmNehyztbx
Really? I asked129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXTjJKjYFS
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdRC65yX4f
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuluDGHe5c
Hahah! My bad.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQLh49y9Tf
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEPXhI1Muv
;P129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFGZOJZgcf
Let's call her Pen instead.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9mgPXfKnP
Roger!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vhHF8FG5W
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZigdFzZ2Y
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CrAaaqqdv
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQNYCNagBh
How rude! I even started to open up.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T9kE8AJqq
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwESLyXvZB
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObqlM1IFSF
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEanVp0dgz2
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eL2CNzD7W
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44eKEjmC6S
That's out of my persona.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rz7lqQTk4
You're just a wuss. She insulted.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5wETdam7c
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNkWXO9Rz2
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6KcJwVfQB
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSfXS0UTaH
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSoaYvChAa
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABhDol3OHu
Really?129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxU85oRZiJ
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIZ06w1uZk
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3CFXTYndB
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI91uupVCgd
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiYG697ii6
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjOHcQP7CB
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d5mZYllUG
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t3vVN2dx0
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLUAUAFnD1
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK7ix0H99w
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlrqzZ8W8v
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. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT4CIaGrO6
"Is this yours?" I asked.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZdhoKG0br
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYcPwrV8Zj
"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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjtHs4Gjk0
Chalk? 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTSHN3Xqxn
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsInb7PQXXj
Chalk? I wrote again. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT4lftCoE6
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?
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINYUVaqLZ2
Chalk?
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpCOXpFJ6W
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbrv7eT2qa
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiE9Ymc8fQ
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnBWhsE8H1
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTt1uIC3tg
Yes, I hope so too! I replied129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXRujRSJ1S
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04dDO9SA3Q
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ69d4ItaY
Thanks, Chalk. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kPLB31lTx
For what?129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSDOtcD06D
For encouraging and pushing me.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs3h5CTnrZ
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 wrote129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN17Y1IA5A6
You're weird. I teased.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIEof804rG
Not as weird as you! she fought.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1s1ykG1KI
What? I rebelled.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRXIlCT5OK
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVj6YRrALF
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyjS7vbOaz
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9ucwPMzEr
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNut6AoGRLR
You suck at drawing, Dusty.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHgJwiEgqo
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi99NPs9Gym
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IPTwOFiWp
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWRf6vUdmg
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?129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6pH09ugyP
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmUYqsaYYy
"Hey," she called.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eWYlQYe0K
"Yes?" I replied subtly.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemWiAZhtYB
"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!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWo9p6aoCz
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Dg0LhAHL
"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!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUlIY3I3pk
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx71rlZ8Sn
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOuyPsbydu
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDatNtMFifE
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!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyxnOPCrSd
Later in the afternoon
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN9bBO7Niv
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmTEaTKPEA
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89XlLXzRiE
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQnhMdHCa3
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTelx0Em9vV
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ186wBFjb3
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3kEBx1qak
Wow! taking the lead? 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSov1nzXTWh
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmYiFWufRa
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKxeV98PDO
Don't you dare!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9zvbuXopr
I was just joking!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb4gXRZjEo
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0XVjqq2hL
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg4QxSysCy
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspEOSPYkLL
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIAn6YCdFb
I am glad.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sk2Yve4Xs
I am too.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEE7E9SE8n
I guess time's up?129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH011DFt8a
I guess so.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaOr7y3nUJ
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzdtQfdK1k
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl6dQxpmBf
"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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFFqXcr8lP
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzK5v0slaG
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9dS1woa4n
Yes. she agreed.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1G6I72DxH
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77N2jWGjvz
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBSonXLoR2
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdPJhVQT4B
Oh really?129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdDJclLdFe
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGf5feECtN
She seems drawing something on the board.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx85wCSB7L
What's that? I asked.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45R8YFFfI2
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeLxf7YIxV
You really suck at drawing. I teased.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEj3q8qLo0
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ2UZLespV
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDa5hGHLvw
You can't even see me. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL182FweO8
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeSLOHfbmU
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLac76CWNkx
I hope so too. See you Chalk!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlbK1tnKn0
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.

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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgoWuosvhp
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJafXGca5a
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oYr8tYlgs
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ihfS7waZm
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZbtTkPJ8u
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9lPNV70i2
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!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdqXRog0EU
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87lq72R6k0
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRJ6L4nwIW
Then we really are a comrade. she added.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrCBC4BkAu
How come? I asked.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1uCcHuSqb
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFDstDLLbk
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY8b227i1s
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdSZJqyCXU
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. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm23qJgf0mQ
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6R6jJfteU
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8qpopJUj1
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzVA9LfTKB
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m5EQDX6ac
Really? How so? I inquired.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98VXMhIfT5
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3kLhDQHfa
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc1IB2FbEV
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbihyOLNNH
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNa4EhHqVw
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Eq3IIXvW
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIPDEGDkYX
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZyDgeRmiN
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Sj8KicxN
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOvtquy3s8
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4l7cTfdbq
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. 129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aDwULcC7F
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.
