Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgEgUavve5
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGtAuSV1nY
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVt0pYlVjZ
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡospQZvERUi
May I know your name? I wrote.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BgVv9Fi4R
(Scribbles) What?74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4G0gfCWJG
What's that? I responded.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQwgmjPDbs
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq6iJq6t2w
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLISGrQA9E
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSAIZvEQE2
Just as I thought.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoyENA9YEc
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaXcJObWdU
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SHTmCGZNK
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl39NXuB0r5
Yes, Ghandi. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKXNNqSmpA
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVe4M9DH0Z
Maybe that's it? She agreed.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7sUCgM1mH
Chalk. I wrote74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lv1V6FBgo
Chalk? 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ6gE0b0dA
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstoXupJZgJ
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgp3go8nGI
That's seems childish. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLowBzp4pH0
No, it's cute.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBgoyedC5N
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyotAOZFjeZ
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzkaH8oF2l
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVGRHg8CRz
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD9bF7MKvz
Good for you. I responded.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1sMP35zhi
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWQOGDywaq
I hope so too! I replied.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAGeIed0TX
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH0cDDlSQM
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoYEa2AYij
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!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DjiKabldm
Don't you have a crush? she asked74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3cnIpQ7c4
That's a hassle. I revoke.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIDDmj9s5H
Liar, liar! She accused.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPfaSkua0r
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. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i68PzL1u4
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAYUaCAPV6
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJYKlCl7LQ
Unfair.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot3ZEpj7VB
Unfair.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZluXzxe7b4
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UVgGpqgO0
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBid9MlXgk
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?
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrF7LQaJwF
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndpBQLsz4O
Yey!! Spill it out!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCugZOX1m3
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGIVg5fFvX
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYQ2qL7PH0
Really? I asked74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXpeXRfxFs
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBfDqZ3CL8
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qau9Rkp8h
Hahah! My bad.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JoRiEjd4z
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMhQe6tUC0
;P74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXokWsDDRNn
Let's call her Pen instead.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9R6lXCn7N
Roger!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EyZNO3M4L
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejQrcdD67P
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj0OgKx0PT
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkehDb9zUwI
How rude! I even started to open up.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcweElatrbe
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPecL8fmNpX
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cxLnRlCOj
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJCyzOuoOm
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YHsy1hr6Z
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD1OAFJqrv
That's out of my persona.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnIAdxprbY
You're just a wuss. She insulted.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahCGL7cmjG
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3ab2a2N1J
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LIq6s3CHp
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtjjfrNjv3
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOxXb9w9P6
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQuId4k2nd
Really?74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHJOzYUyRu
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3j7A4axi1
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQHB73j5x0
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYAhoNAoki
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEnjffz6Y7
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt33iXNx6kc
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMx7leP8Kb
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AYq37Mwbs
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO07DjVx3j
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVva2NiPXX
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhrzKrGDEr
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. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw0VP7oMVd
"Is this yours?" I asked.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAH5X4zgU2
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNlhjRhfUS
"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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFpgsy3tSt
Chalk? 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIgLjb9LPx
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg8ypo7r2c
Chalk? I wrote again. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej2MWzEnuY
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?
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59X3holhTm
Chalk?
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoONBD2ArBX
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PaifTgXXO
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTaB9AzV6k
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghmDATZ2Hb
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rE2oAQQT9
Yes, I hope so too! I replied74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJW1iiSU1l
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hu6VwLa9g
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfouvFyvwad
Thanks, Chalk. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD6ke8dLJY
For what?74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS7NnCkqFi
For encouraging and pushing me.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ885n1sHnA6
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 wrote74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yd0MPkHSc
You're weird. I teased.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PIVmFW39d
Not as weird as you! she fought.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EED2BP6M1
What? I rebelled.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0APPu1celK
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtyK1VMbAV
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEmSXSrZI2
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCypmfMoHzd
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10pnbpdqIW
You suck at drawing, Dusty.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFUG72NyC4
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbuihc63Ro
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz9VOzEyE1
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4Rzg1D2KH
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?74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C9iC0JDwY
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxPjTDG4cB
"Hey," she called.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dDFwnXjMC
"Yes?" I replied subtly.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdlBSJcOvM
"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!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h1CjRGGYa
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lVwq9DFbw
"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!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtSLYAvmFC
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MK9smCy5g
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz57B28Z8YI
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84kfbqN9zh
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!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Hpa33UCE
Later in the afternoon
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Dvfcg44o
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yWHPiO5ia
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQixeHXRfgn
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0fzHz25v5
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qtbdsrPdb
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcMAlK0T08
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfz91bawHH
Wow! taking the lead? 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv9TNDSkSh
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoaCIaJEMk
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMCkR6ANRU
Don't you dare!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooZgiQ4GVO
I was just joking!
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEet59Y66Cl
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6WMVji2YQ
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGJNmLHdQp
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljKHOWGqh1
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSVaIxugk2
I am glad.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyJWtLZjPn
I am too.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKVkT2mtfx
I guess time's up?74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52M3gqXlnF
I guess so.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm4pcrf3JG
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREzf7IlFmO
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6nGFzH5fF
"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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIW2PvTxqk
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPIQxaavem
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53H5EP7sk9
Yes. she agreed.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf1Dyw0clh
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ8UxJgvcw
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBNMkiaxp6
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVstiqsWbY
Oh really?74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQedZeMnwO
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnnKsNxXxA
She seems drawing something on the board.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8nAqYTVEt
What's that? I asked.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImV0wx4M1k
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5wE9tcXkD
You really suck at drawing. I teased.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICvNIjHiGg
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbULjNdr5P
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFyKhPb4IT
You can't even see me. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn6azeouRa
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl6mXdLpAO
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei2RdGwuWE
I hope so too. See you Chalk!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAIYq0L76B
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.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtatfPrZbaH
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMt0RjmQMS
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TgAsKaxYB
She uttered.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsFErkElfG
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwVcFIHIBH
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDJ2KGbbI8
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKxktQ8cOZ
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CZj7EJGYV
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciWy8cK2jh
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogug3yo4HR
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Aq9nGjaAr
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!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL15vI0ebmv
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLncWfSt8d
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzC718QIiF
Then we really are a comrade. she added.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXXGH1cMuE
How come? I asked.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwS4w5WqHn
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK4Djkdayq
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fKTwqsi7F
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxJVCHESh9
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. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgEXxnJGyD
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0weKwvDFUw
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7f5CkJ5BC
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vuj7OtlwM
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksHHQOqdDE
Really? How so? I inquired.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DxOLJTROS
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtxKc3LrkP
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppNouHVDMY
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRGZuVCCkf
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOswBWePfsE
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIFZN6Dtf0
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlBupsyqQV
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEgltTpC77
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9GLIRUntS
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNRZ3XjV8n
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.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJJ6sGTK7j
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. 74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlWt8pjQVR
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.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z9OhVmuIo
I know it won't.
