I'm tired.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX45pBCjcr
I wrote.

I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrzpOTwpx3
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMp5NqdnHv
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSHPyWdq1h
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxY09b0JhU
May I know your name? I wrote.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E5fDazGcE
(Scribbles) What?169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KqJnm3w0m
What's that? I responded.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcpxzL5wfe
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCdV7LrXvK
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB44IwfAra
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLrVdbgbgt
Just as I thought.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdexRc4DfOH
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlTBWb5coO
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a8scJ70Jv
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7J6vbFfsL
Yes, Ghandi. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD67nMld3s
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Ieo75TPt
Maybe that's it? She agreed.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdMh3V3iZ4
Chalk. I wrote169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaih2hoNRB
Chalk? 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojCimdH5xj
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUpBmI2HFC
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUkKlkTboO
That's seems childish. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nzc0SVCku
No, it's cute.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJPBOdd4Bd
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrWgKYfJHb
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZiBko86xR
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkL2iwTEzj
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFsgIIJoTA
Good for you. I responded.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAdy6DbXTv
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzsuBqBmsY
I hope so too! I replied.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNLCYh3LRO
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDrKEZfMgY
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxNqHD3EBK
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!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVntrvSMwjH
Don't you have a crush? she asked169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWxuSHjmXF
That's a hassle. I revoke.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgN0eCLMqY
Liar, liar! She accused.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKjJK5xhDT
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. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxSe3z5XyI
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MOhNc4DmS
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszebEKDRQY
Unfair.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs08iAmbwLm
Unfair.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKsuNbVcwl
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5KvlYym8M
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiitl8yAwjK
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?
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITlm4ZHwGy
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0JR0jGJMB
Yey!! Spill it out!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoAGbgQoJH
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyjxqbfy7h
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzzw01S5BG
Really? I asked169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGaMaCFKKY
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrDlEoRn5B
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ8NR7c0WH
Hahah! My bad.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoA0yxzdjc
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ1shUiML8
;P169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwupRH6bJlr
Let's call her Pen instead.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxRZKO0Vqo
Roger!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVxvsFd1Nw
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyrrvce2em
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Gff7rZjk
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR24PTkFGrR
How rude! I even started to open up.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsn2gMMljF
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw6eXTMg72
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHwqj3f5lt
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTxKppuVJ4
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOEbtSErvj
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jaxn9QHmZ
That's out of my persona.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNnA5gcxnC
You're just a wuss. She insulted.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6DEfYdP3v
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpF0YAJATK
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LVPVhk7p8
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfjMGhnzW7
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh08w0JQByi
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrCzKBavKh
Really?169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6MbGdemo8
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4G4i8J4rb
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANpBsSHon8
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dwVfRKb7h
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYPSbPys6v
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqWEgWAevG
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoDnQoQb7S
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogCGH4qBkm
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeSRa4Y3W0
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T2r4vzqVd
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYYH2FMPoE
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. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm95KtoMkYT
"Is this yours?" I asked.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN0mTnocgq
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEwDlGEkTM
"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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYWrBDvcRw
Chalk? 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjzpXpe5le
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnYTLN54BW
Chalk? I wrote again. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUmbRH6XB9
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?
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gZ0kmkvHC
Chalk?
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcytdyfGHvY
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfrhtoAKNj
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zpvy4QZ4Z
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3VBKX0jRu
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraGh6UFWXi
Yes, I hope so too! I replied169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw33jHfc7ul
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wL3lh6Gbd
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCI4guU6pU
Thanks, Chalk. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrCnvbQE1v
For what?169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgtJ9w3Bj5
For encouraging and pushing me.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C5Qn8JqzD
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 wrote169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMm8ESr9h8
You're weird. I teased.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9gD44k0ZB
Not as weird as you! she fought.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvqSb2ruWh
What? I rebelled.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJptxDBjezR
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW338sTNex
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zPBOMAofI
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEM8ruqTFy
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy8C4WwQOF
You suck at drawing, Dusty.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL6BqlIoXw
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIOvHrCHvU
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHslOFvRTsD
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksA5UvIT9f
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?169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G7EFFaHtq
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo953IQRl76
"Hey," she called.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Q50ctaek
"Yes?" I replied subtly.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Vo7PWk0r
"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!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcD06glM5w
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsppRTMsTLo
"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!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTljcHwDuf
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFns56ydcZB
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET12mex5TE
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSzOZGR4PO
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!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1wjU8jnC3
Later in the afternoon
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpBYVow3L8
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAtLACpLT1
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmnDqbFkgy
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceKNdNc7hy
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj3PmzcCmY
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCI1MqhDxt
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iyE5AjWCG
Wow! taking the lead? 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SqD1zgNOf
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBZZuNvXex
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ9bMs8Oyz
Don't you dare!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZSs0P2H1Q
I was just joking!
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnhQOxcSdV
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79anj2w0MF
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWiDJkmZeu
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal5BVP64mR
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZQcq05llV
I am glad.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡounq08ZsyY
I am too.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjLOHNGiao
I guess time's up?169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdWJoux3eV
I guess so.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU0gCnC2Ci
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1el6brUqVh
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RIMSF5ENn
"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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS8ko0ixre
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLKcIIi4bA
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMrvmegUPi
Yes. she agreed.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xa11hijGc
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxMlHMh3LC
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfKtI973DR
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHdedkRn3Q
Oh really?169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hYYyjCHdO
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWLN869WYL
She seems drawing something on the board.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCHKrRUWzV
What's that? I asked.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR9nN2WH9R
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9zEwSnWIx
You really suck at drawing. I teased.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIosQ6YBzVX
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtIizEaHUp
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgpsZYBkph
You can't even see me. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bvK8gkGwR
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6tIJtGG1x
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7K39nrjjW
I hope so too. See you Chalk!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBt18Ys5Mw
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.

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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAurlY9F02E
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmILINkd4gN
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh8eQt1iV1
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u5Z2LpvQs
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87HqSSbK5M
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYdgmhIm8V
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!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6u3SK0eVL
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl581F4qOQ
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeiQfcCfgb
Then we really are a comrade. she added.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxcdqgocsp
How come? I asked.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFb4Xgpvya
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhyPG2408O
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikZXjMSloF
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojeCZ5CDhr
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. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0u8rfzSUZ
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9qTYGf4Wh
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNsdNBoY4x
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmjwgUf031
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU3wTpQe0B
Really? How so? I inquired.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdPcacT5OX
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXohBPkSCc
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHUEywvWIv
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7zHdLEcRV
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJczozaC4V5
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqsiI2Z0zm
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKfOhLfDvu
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EaAF1xJEE
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5UJ25Nf43
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xUpg5PzEv
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl71deuxxpl
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. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY7PIQQQWz
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.

I know it won't.
