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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAk3KWSf2ae6
277Please respect copyright.PENANAynzGUyJzLd
277Please respect copyright.PENANAm6efYjXlJe
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.PENANADS0BVqjzpt
She uttered.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAAGXHYMs6vv
277Please respect copyright.PENANAGfQXFI0K1f
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAlECnzSM67M
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAv8zJJT9MBq
I know it won't.
