I'm tired.
304Please respect copyright.PENANA2uaMY4azeU
I wrote.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAaWw6cddNMj
I'm tired too.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAIWNh7uaf4T
Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.304Please respect copyright.PENANAINYn2nKDaX
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAeB86EvHKCv
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAzSGoW4mhyu
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAWBjRyvu237
May I know your name? I wrote.304Please respect copyright.PENANATTu3tU7YwY
(Scribbles) What?304Please respect copyright.PENANAijICOfZVNX
What's that? I responded.304Please respect copyright.PENANAkuR3zcTU8b
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.304Please respect copyright.PENANAlT3xFyCLLu
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.304Please respect copyright.PENANADOdbEcNW8b
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.304Please respect copyright.PENANAy3dSzqIXSB
Just as I thought.304Please respect copyright.PENANAG7rTOUGCs8
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.304Please respect copyright.PENANA9yPjxFdjtV
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 304Please respect copyright.PENANA7KeTADeLig
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.304Please respect copyright.PENANAHDb4Bmwae7
Yes, Ghandi. 304Please respect copyright.PENANATsdK38WlZp
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.304Please respect copyright.PENANAF5xdsK0L0e
Maybe that's it? She agreed.304Please respect copyright.PENANAUS60YYa8kW
Chalk. I wrote304Please respect copyright.PENANAgNdCu3slBn
Chalk? 304Please respect copyright.PENANAlp01A6YHo2
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.304Please respect copyright.PENANAo1UtMMtboj
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.304Please respect copyright.PENANA6TkJqtReKJ
That's seems childish. 304Please respect copyright.PENANAxPAHHptPDZ
No, it's cute.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAnwflxvWIFs
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAiokPQxgi1b
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAeiOOhghkUX
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.304Please respect copyright.PENANAToP7j6nlIs
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAHKHE55kL1p
Good for you. I responded.304Please respect copyright.PENANAKCqxicwlnj
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.304Please respect copyright.PENANAfd3wDZ44eV
I hope so too! I replied.304Please respect copyright.PENANAgJph6NBb0w
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.304Please respect copyright.PENANAMdj5N35kDn
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 304Please respect copyright.PENANAMkjlK0bDu7
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!304Please respect copyright.PENANAA2O2yc8bW3
Don't you have a crush? she asked304Please respect copyright.PENANA0PRwsF4ZRU
That's a hassle. I revoke.304Please respect copyright.PENANAXOy9nXit34
Liar, liar! She accused.304Please respect copyright.PENANAWjlokxbOau
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. 304Please respect copyright.PENANABOUzHNIU3O
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAEJhLJ4xRyJ
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANARtnbIx34eY
Unfair.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAgDBRzeo8D5
Unfair.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAksnJNBBq5E
304Please respect copyright.PENANAn5MQzpJawu
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.304Please respect copyright.PENANAxMP7JFZztl
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?
304Please respect copyright.PENANAcv86m3Qq9C
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared304Please respect copyright.PENANAs1ElJ0LXMj
Yey!! Spill it out!304Please respect copyright.PENANADvgvPIIM3N
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.304Please respect copyright.PENANA5drpKMEWAv
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.304Please respect copyright.PENANA46gOX7Zktw
Really? I asked304Please respect copyright.PENANA0KmGgxdgES
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.304Please respect copyright.PENANAixNg4koad4
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.304Please respect copyright.PENANABhA3eDKhvQ
Hahah! My bad.304Please respect copyright.PENANATqm4oNxjhu
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 304Please respect copyright.PENANA8PhRnYJfaS
;P304Please respect copyright.PENANAqsrKymolol
Let's call her Pen instead.304Please respect copyright.PENANAxwqjV5yq7h
Roger!304Please respect copyright.PENANAjkdDBJSDeU
304Please respect copyright.PENANA0dxyXlKsZc
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 304Please respect copyright.PENANAssTM2eWwU0
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.304Please respect copyright.PENANAqaojj096Wk
How rude! I even started to open up.304Please respect copyright.PENANAeds7LzzF0J
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAqQjq54rPxI
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote304Please respect copyright.PENANAss0GALaNv7
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.304Please respect copyright.PENANATwh4kKVGkM
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.304Please respect copyright.PENANAENQurfRVVS
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?304Please respect copyright.PENANAj2TRyHHrn6
That's out of my persona.304Please respect copyright.PENANACSCYffc62s
You're just a wuss. She insulted.304Please respect copyright.PENANATZKUBhHHb5
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3yywsMfyE
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.304Please respect copyright.PENANAJ19TfaEUnE
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.304Please respect copyright.PENANAp6JeZPCJ5Y
304Please respect copyright.PENANAhcsMrc7R2m
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAWMtbSJA8MK
Really?304Please respect copyright.PENANAgoiXr829ul
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAytMz58ap6x
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAlKhiwdoTzG
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm304Please respect copyright.PENANAWlMNaLp1qu
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANA4Kj1IYDngE
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.304Please respect copyright.PENANAWmphQQ7SAO
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.304Please respect copyright.PENANAg3rylgKIK0
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.304Please respect copyright.PENANAE7tjBioPyN
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAnc0nOb7Kta
304Please respect copyright.PENANA1BW30z6fWS
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANA8PcwtG3URZ
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. 304Please respect copyright.PENANANHM8U5eRNm
"Is this yours?" I asked.304Please respect copyright.PENANAktG2QIyq9i
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.304Please respect copyright.PENANAVhk475I9Bm
"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.304Please respect copyright.PENANATLQzTAakEI
Chalk? 304Please respect copyright.PENANAPBc57xM3qG
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?304Please respect copyright.PENANAioFvVGK4RH
Chalk? I wrote again. 304Please respect copyright.PENANAP2wbmKTUBJ
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?
304Please respect copyright.PENANAj3jSBecfCJ
Chalk?
304Please respect copyright.PENANAFoSYU78NWU
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.304Please respect copyright.PENANAo0jtGQ5P0S
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.304Please respect copyright.PENANAmay5BiMpSn
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.304Please respect copyright.PENANARm67Rb93Bn
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.304Please respect copyright.PENANATSLRzbyQLx
Yes, I hope so too! I replied304Please respect copyright.PENANAGqwhxEe5uH
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAM3hXDRrses
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.304Please respect copyright.PENANAWZK16taxfJ
Thanks, Chalk. 304Please respect copyright.PENANAjPxKxKaEWL
For what?304Please respect copyright.PENANAG0cSAANOGg
For encouraging and pushing me.304Please respect copyright.PENANAHOUCu91RYC
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 wrote304Please respect copyright.PENANArIhfjiZVka
You're weird. I teased.304Please respect copyright.PENANAJvwGjuWmm4
Not as weird as you! she fought.304Please respect copyright.PENANApyoGUtPTH8
What? I rebelled.304Please respect copyright.PENANACVcM1tDl3z
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.304Please respect copyright.PENANAXAk6IM7YRj
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested304Please respect copyright.PENANAuR5vw5pLsh
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.304Please respect copyright.PENANAFe1cGlhYG6
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.304Please respect copyright.PENANAsPCJBpnHU6
You suck at drawing, Dusty.304Please respect copyright.PENANAsKFs6dHFcf
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANA1rrmVLwHXG
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAGO6M511669
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAHOLFQjb5fd
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?304Please respect copyright.PENANAPDIka72O34
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAQYY7pliPKj
"Hey," she called.304Please respect copyright.PENANAplLTowM4Ab
"Yes?" I replied subtly.304Please respect copyright.PENANAABVBjzgGkE
"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!304Please respect copyright.PENANAlGt4IOgOX1
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!304Please respect copyright.PENANAw8V3aoZ1ZZ
"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!304Please respect copyright.PENANA4aoKzrNqfO
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.304Please respect copyright.PENANAffDPlfN9uQ
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.304Please respect copyright.PENANAOxGKgxT2g9
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.304Please respect copyright.PENANAv8oTLc7YfQ
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!304Please respect copyright.PENANAMmZ25PO49w
Later in the afternoon
304Please respect copyright.PENANAiXN3zDn20A
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.304Please respect copyright.PENANAwQZl3SEyWf
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.304Please respect copyright.PENANAFEIcSZ5DSY
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!304Please respect copyright.PENANAOynBgUx4eP
304Please respect copyright.PENANATQqiyG64Vx
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAKuEjhVMp9e
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared304Please respect copyright.PENANARoMTc9jybk
Wow! taking the lead? 304Please respect copyright.PENANAnBEvNJxf4b
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.304Please respect copyright.PENANAthm5tCPLrL
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAhU89kQoi5Z
Don't you dare!304Please respect copyright.PENANAmVrrLnrCrE
I was just joking!
304Please respect copyright.PENANAcW0MC9fOz4
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.304Please respect copyright.PENANAGPnBSMuD3Q
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added304Please respect copyright.PENANAQeA2mhOsU2
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAaVDrBL1DMK
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 304Please respect copyright.PENANAf5L8ufLyQz
I am glad.304Please respect copyright.PENANAzUG3Q8Q5xb
I am too.304Please respect copyright.PENANAmWrxdEbZVl
I guess time's up?304Please respect copyright.PENANA54ekSoE9P3
I guess so.304Please respect copyright.PENANAf6aeI1cDPn
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?304Please respect copyright.PENANAdvST1fRdbC
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAWY4eIz61oE
"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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAhxIUE0r0RB
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAXLRLy09hEO
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.304Please respect copyright.PENANAPrdO0bGr8N
Yes. she agreed.304Please respect copyright.PENANAYzqK9rl79l
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.304Please respect copyright.PENANATGr9nS1rpJ
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.304Please respect copyright.PENANA5U09bPpBvu
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.304Please respect copyright.PENANA3iA7OlSBjA
Oh really?304Please respect copyright.PENANAGlscSl8lMp
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.304Please respect copyright.PENANAAZQibFdQD1
She seems drawing something on the board.304Please respect copyright.PENANA5vc1AqZaTZ
What's that? I asked.304Please respect copyright.PENANAjF9IUmqEm5
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.304Please respect copyright.PENANADietIbRj2D
You really suck at drawing. I teased.304Please respect copyright.PENANAml1Uu3aekB
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANA3uoYKWByZn
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.304Please respect copyright.PENANAfEFQdpsia8
You can't even see me. 304Please respect copyright.PENANAHzNxzOJSJh
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.304Please respect copyright.PENANAazSP4ICvUV
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.304Please respect copyright.PENANAJTQOH1pZJr
I hope so too. See you Chalk!304Please respect copyright.PENANASKf9QmeaT3
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANADOLBRaQAjV
304Please respect copyright.PENANAqlViUP8jo7
304Please respect copyright.PENANAisw8ldqHfy
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAMvP76S35QE
304Please respect copyright.PENANAgP8yQgiA8W
She uttered.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAsInsuNVukg
304Please respect copyright.PENANAEKaoR7rtBs
304Please respect copyright.PENANAZ47jZ5rmiO
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAZTMD8D3Vih
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAf9RzFO9Y5k
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAR0U1CzfnLz
304Please respect copyright.PENANAa2GTN0bS4s
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANA0ctY41sqJP
304Please respect copyright.PENANABbpXemt7NX
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!304Please respect copyright.PENANA69SRzstaJk
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.304Please respect copyright.PENANA5iF00f1J2g
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied304Please respect copyright.PENANArBijy1g34w
Then we really are a comrade. she added.304Please respect copyright.PENANA8nNNCXrj25
How come? I asked.304Please respect copyright.PENANAR4EaYnfKse
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.304Please respect copyright.PENANASFfxNb5F47
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.304Please respect copyright.PENANAPHpRTZ08Gl
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.304Please respect copyright.PENANAvQb6vPcrmI
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAiEuUXStbj9
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. 304Please respect copyright.PENANAqJQP5tC9kJ

I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.304Please respect copyright.PENANAtfcpIg08mC
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.304Please respect copyright.PENANA84LXwOsXwv
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.304Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ0nuvRZ99
Really? How so? I inquired.304Please respect copyright.PENANAu9wseKke8i
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAwHLCjU5frO
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.304Please respect copyright.PENANAUJggo4g8wp
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAFkGNZl1LqR
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.304Please respect copyright.PENANAoPSAvgGNMK
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.304Please respect copyright.PENANAQI962bEv58
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared304Please respect copyright.PENANAR1MtfUxY2O
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.304Please respect copyright.PENANAQfbgvQQQRx
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!304Please respect copyright.PENANASN7RrA7iym
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANADPo2Z0Gzt8
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.304Please respect copyright.PENANAjtBp3jgYza
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. 304Please respect copyright.PENANATxA51WD3LM
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.
304Please respect copyright.PENANAJrg5zy0xC5
I know it won't.
