I'm tired.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQv9hYNEXs
I wrote.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA0cBTTN3M
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN7KFjAXFz
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSEBfZ50E4
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFydMcQz7fB
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEKXbkmIKw
May I know your name? I wrote.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tZIfY2Nxm
(Scribbles) What?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJR63V5nUI
What's that? I responded.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLkuhGYAz5
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbWnns4Jlo
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0oc4iLMQm
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGUSAg8wav
Just as I thought.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfNubVAuxE
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhw4ffmcaP
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f99xJS3sw
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT8Kqc3P0I
Yes, Ghandi. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNCOP1q7eG
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx91JvvPCP
Maybe that's it? She agreed.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlzPbTPcOZ
Chalk. I wrote233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0JdUk3gLl
Chalk? 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRqZW9snmQ
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWWmHTZfRy
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf25mDnY7y
That's seems childish. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdQXpGtKBr
No, it's cute.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1kHRJntXK
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh01N9Cgg0e
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOjWOx711z
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CtPETihSc
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4QyT3OH5S
Good for you. I responded.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot7Dd7Inrb
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQLVraZquz
I hope so too! I replied.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyflZmMUgm
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKOus0XyvX
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIqWif9ggM
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!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiQnwHJ6mP
Don't you have a crush? she asked233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnUUeOh97B
That's a hassle. I revoke.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkpRGDMWBs
Liar, liar! She accused.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEuWN7Vhve
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. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVU96bb8ux
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfJaEoE3B9
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFp7YFzZN3
Unfair.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMWrife61S
Unfair.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44n6pVOvqA
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73V6z6UsZr
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ALtqEh5lL
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?
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCKJqH4FQi
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMGAqyzCiS
Yey!! Spill it out!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEoPx2g43i
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkyvsA55YF
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNeJxKBglO
Really? I asked233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3NgxDyl5O
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfx3TYwOoT
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpv7016OwB
Hahah! My bad.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvxkz4k0Jx
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPoodwEKe9
;P233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiXQK1Lzgt
Let's call her Pen instead.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdYV6CFomg
Roger!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAMtQkkROc
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdKmWZefQC
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNxw0mt4gB
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIarxTRl1n7
How rude! I even started to open up.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWCQtT1PWq
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlM37c4GY8
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3oEGw4wjg
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEXxRDGOIs
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wp4UHvN4p
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIamoXUEjYt
That's out of my persona.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77K9qsYSVp
You're just a wuss. She insulted.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV5mFjsvYs
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE47yOTwfF
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWzslM0I4d
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wnJPNLQZe
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPKfNCJEa6
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdpfmj3KH9
Really?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh68N9g1IP
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaNB2UpqE7
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZamOcHAw64
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGYI3mKTwq
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHkYS0P7QG
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbmLvKkbWf
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzepCSzusd
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozTll0UFIl
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BnyCw2qMM
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqsJgtt5oN
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTQT5Zfxwy
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. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOQv4SmCrH
"Is this yours?" I asked.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ltW44GO4
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXfwxETjjK
"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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRRAKghq6J
Chalk? 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCMhbPasnj
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPiJYEVlrb
Chalk? I wrote again. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPeDw4RFEg
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?
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwt7D4Yk9p
Chalk?
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzRJVHkg8S
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6759MBODmT
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuWFMtn5XF
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qwTMa0Ox7
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRfUcuTHUa
Yes, I hope so too! I replied233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijIrTp66vf
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ0F7hbq4m
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9GHsswVul
Thanks, Chalk. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IZydExIp6
For what?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpAZMTBpe9
For encouraging and pushing me.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO4CXJMued
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 wrote233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO9EWUKEpI
You're weird. I teased.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2gil45qHD
Not as weird as you! she fought.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuA1PpB3wr
What? I rebelled.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NRbaZ2Cwm
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PNce4Ji3N
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjOQJy6ZsX
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrilvzY8aG
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc8RROHEwH
You suck at drawing, Dusty.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76y7TPrOgH
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLreTU6x617
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE2jgoej2z
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4eUZWB1KV
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?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UDFpqLz6u
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS8UKciRwf
"Hey," she called.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1T3kju9aF
"Yes?" I replied subtly.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aIO4IyYeB
"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!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tLJh1vv2Y
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyyMpjH1x4
"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!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK79wU9wmc
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x4Jwqi5eu
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhGvBo1Upw
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DKeUMjuUl
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!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9NVuCC7Ue
Later in the afternoon
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5AloCo7On
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9nkzVAov7
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FCGFjh1Ql
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla2FnsqJ5f
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXbbMpAHsv
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAjLcH9zhH
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBOYaVhwNj
Wow! taking the lead? 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoHOSgfrsv
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDuGCcjEJT
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm18VwSyRz
Don't you dare!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XePK4nblg
I was just joking!
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdVJv0fwx1
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajEFVzDhr5
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BmpzBXlnv
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKdQbqSIU4
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMGa8JtPYI
I am glad.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriehscle6e
I am too.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf6zcY8eWQ
I guess time's up?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoclURZRv1
I guess so.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL9FFoLqdA
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrCsv8041h
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGDu73U3Iw
"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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYK5lgoAAJ
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oW5AgAqMt
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnagPIf2xEJ
Yes. she agreed.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrwEtBIacA
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sUuYLx6xi
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA6ocGdQVn
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeOdSQJQMD
Oh really?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO1QjmXrE9
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUmITzPA4v
She seems drawing something on the board.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DI7HxSQkZ
What's that? I asked.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn5Kmivotn
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbqayYrPbn
You really suck at drawing. I teased.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0GxO2Fq1o
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0wwNmpP7w
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPIcC1JXPK
You can't even see me. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXL6XPmfW7
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjacmLoa8u0
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4vTGYnQAL
I hope so too. See you Chalk!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3VbmUe1uy
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ3tepqa1Y

233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs84NsLVAs
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUJgOM94IF
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIfcFKkuuz
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqTMoWPy9v
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa6RFvfkIp
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUTBR3QQpt
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlviqVTwhL
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!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7EYLjEmDI
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza0Z6BJjBb
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0F9itxwAH
Then we really are a comrade. she added.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDU7EgVyYC
How come? I asked.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBIIh5wJSD
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasoJlRqYbF
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm0ZsFCld9
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiNCQ15voT
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. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMkz4pK0Ke
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGCURbuVZn
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIhgjDfRf4
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11w2o6OIFH
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIv6laPoeG
Really? How so? I inquired.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUzw0YfBcd
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zNHR1DecQ
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksqGnqrnJI
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1XfWzu168
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ3VRMLbjD
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG0r1Ek6qM
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfHnKDszaK
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMTSIolPFS
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqldbTfzZ1B
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.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdtvUcinK8
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.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgASERNlasf
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. 233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WVigWNI8I
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.
