I'm tired.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8RdjCmJGq
I wrote.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FXe7QmMQM
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAMjwUxkdv
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDus4eiZqwv
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbB086ZYvE
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBKqLsHOo7
May I know your name? I wrote.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLxQLc9JlW
(Scribbles) What?277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy6yS5uCfD
What's that? I responded.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9MXIKLO7c
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBoEg04iD1
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q5JkEwd4L
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxy2I3seYm
Just as I thought.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQm7ogThrL
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUeQFaGQUF
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Xj5DnFhr
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyH4EvVjvI
Yes, Ghandi. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhiwIsZHsN
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn76kXGmlC8
Maybe that's it? She agreed.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkLRjS3YVu
Chalk. I wrote277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcK1TnLKmK
Chalk? 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqPKw9Im6r
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d8weLmhrY
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq8TiC078v
That's seems childish. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2uhkG9pPj
No, it's cute.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdVxXWTcn2
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7lxmBUuFH
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95GjXZBOGg
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ucypuFZSa
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMviU4aZ1C
Good for you. I responded.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGgsYkz7j4
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3IK81PS51
I hope so too! I replied.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRLK6AaG4y
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgq3aRQoOZ
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt1HdlSbxz
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!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC2F6erBtL
Don't you have a crush? she asked277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPwUf2tvk3
That's a hassle. I revoke.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwqBUoXp4X
Liar, liar! She accused.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKHNylxjQJ
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. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEffwTKhlA
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnSzpESMui
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCPvZ1CsEn
Unfair.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv7sIKflg3
Unfair.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagtC4MBsd6
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35KPNVTuat
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ1uRMpzhx
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?
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7FWxybOm8
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdddtncL6N
Yey!! Spill it out!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu4XQSR0ga
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKQ5ow7xCg
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiTMntwy7O
Really? I asked277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosumQ9AN5O
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhsPdUd5EL
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGGX1xreTi
Hahah! My bad.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI23OgkDs1j
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfrCXJqmHx
;P277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2daT3aVJz
Let's call her Pen instead.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nkyl88Aq0
Roger!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzUpKnlbd6
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYRdnONqHZ
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8CObRlJOV
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB6VXcrYnO
How rude! I even started to open up.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7R0JYD4T3
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXlMfKBA3e
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XeX58pVB0
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WIRH9RfX3
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziqpZSCFEY
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdvliWY2Lh
That's out of my persona.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtflDAinSlK
You're just a wuss. She insulted.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhMCDSm5y6
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWSKQLiInf
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtq7gLjhK9
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAe3Lf2dNY
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDdYU6sgDD
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtB9En63Vr
Really?277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPgPQJtp3E
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjv2rWIPT4
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVaj7jCHzq
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcO6e0GbNO
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAOLKktQVE
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpCHdBf1cE
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tKKsAOUyb
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D5l4MU6Zm
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEyOYH2xcW
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPcMD8nFNx
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GMlOEz1Lp
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. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ARky7Wc8
"Is this yours?" I asked.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSt1mJqZz2
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDlZYqLPF6
"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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4NUFUmKwS
Chalk? 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGHBOuLYho
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTIin8oPnc
Chalk? I wrote again. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0GrEpxJ3n
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?
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUphC3lDYB
Chalk?
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2aqseTF11
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu4D31H6ZR
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPl7jyV7aV
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw9WrPRFYq
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGf4K3y2Wm
Yes, I hope so too! I replied277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj4u2BKBX8
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf05UrJgXXW
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf8tupVkyC
Thanks, Chalk. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWpFiGllrz
For what?277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSLdtChxuR
For encouraging and pushing me.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl98Hb2jVU
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 wrote277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Ob0iUcS3
You're weird. I teased.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBI6nJodzT
Not as weird as you! she fought.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jmGt6qBhZ
What? I rebelled.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCK4P6u8Mv
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPhHBdHl08
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9fqquheQv
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRwjPM6P6v
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrcjX6Ai5E
You suck at drawing, Dusty.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDzyoVYpSh
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJltd6sV2nF
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB10klNZH8
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ4M7bB2jZ
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?277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD66jQCLSo
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMFxbKxoAo
"Hey," she called.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVvBUaLdRV
"Yes?" I replied subtly.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22uUlfqQlN
"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!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvjBAXQGAQ
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxPzCB38wc
"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!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSHe3kTPr5
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd3yTz9VGB
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA47vOf8lZn
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y3T0yu5Wj
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!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lZ1s5Brbb
Later in the afternoon
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UJnjboQrj
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg8Jcvr9xh
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAuPLouHqN
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwswIsjYOc
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRmbamBIFg
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U5pN4KPoW
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcIMpNRhYI
Wow! taking the lead? 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKeudujiml
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxY4pA3mKF
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoRsqbeyZb
Don't you dare!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyujdqZb4jj
I was just joking!
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aVlSdI5J3
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJRhtpwAjs
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvFCXCaNQA
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmAeTEE2Qf
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdr7DHyX7d
I am glad.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeTiDD1AUu
I am too.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI920vGXVb
I guess time's up?277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb01jtJY259
I guess so.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqybISzRwbb
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1JFh1XMOo
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1GB3psGL3
"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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5aAE7fH67
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoakXFxaHww
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Kf2QeLQa
Yes. she agreed.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk673kpQVO
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rYSqAWsFT
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZgE8BdWrS
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Bwq59vVL
Oh really?277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNnVDeWlvP
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUH2l1Mf8q
She seems drawing something on the board.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe8ERP89YI
What's that? I asked.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ915vvtCv
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWpoyBalDs
You really suck at drawing. I teased.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LP7dwlj6L
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yZgn4ESGD
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGHtNgKjZk
You can't even see me. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4inJo4gtoG
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzQlp8ojHc
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr0cFxiWjL
I hope so too. See you Chalk!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KW2rGIhkn
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wx0AS0tco

277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24qrzDnpzE
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMYBdazz3q
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYIcaf6x0w
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU1f499Fwz
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE8jKOtVnE
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWMkovHFCu
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0kgvCqY8r
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!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5C6py83Bk
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaD7oXBUNC
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxQu2beUdT
Then we really are a comrade. she added.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwJgZQkPVP
How come? I asked.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT6iIif4SR
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSwVfWVRhr
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6AeG4P6vF
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYhZzQSioX
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. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhqJ8BK2Ih
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGRSSxeAga
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj6bl1gar4
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5jeYfoULf
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYEXhQxmAM
Really? How so? I inquired.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNSgNcfywF
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2bxGf6OtC
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1XwVTal2k
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EswpfupZl
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c4jxFEXEX
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBVOVskGK6
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePtaZ22Lk7
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLFWe4aa0x
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC3M1LIf43
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D4DAIYNgK
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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k0OpWzjfC
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. 277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Oy1bGFLLD
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.
