I'm tired.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDmxj9j6nU
I wrote.

I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDPxsByn2z
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcC8fphwHX
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy1gbFGpvc
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Jar0PP51
May I know your name? I wrote.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL6JTsKc5x
(Scribbles) What?117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHewaDCckx
What's that? I responded.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHDUKORw81
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJuEUUm7xq
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahiTfxKxaW
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAidQc2xkIH
Just as I thought.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OvP61wauA
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTLB1zEEDV
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnCRQIL6N8
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y5BnFEOfV
Yes, Ghandi. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiNNnqJnI0
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJfwIRr3y5
Maybe that's it? She agreed.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5CK4ppXZZ
Chalk. I wrote117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62EVOe2mKW
Chalk? 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbzH9yp1l4
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVrOcRnlK7
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABRuvAiMah
That's seems childish. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWueBSNan7e
No, it's cute.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4hlPpJtVp
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNfyFdEk1o
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0DygGH5kr
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MSbIlRIiL
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw94KHMD1Ve
Good for you. I responded.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6SR42h1fx
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9In7quNRa
I hope so too! I replied.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouU8CzZMHG
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PncUF6Lu3
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjj3DJAFSB
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!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eGdr1023u
Don't you have a crush? she asked117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImvc8mZ50b
That's a hassle. I revoke.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW90eJgnFxx
Liar, liar! She accused.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOdAP9t8dC
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. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Qu5JYXHp
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCJIc05ERa
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHI2jRwKJR
Unfair.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv8Vm62UkU
Unfair.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyEUAkUSOA
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42XkDhCgfm
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVlYnQ3SDR
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?
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQam7y4iaiz
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR60dMUp96I
Yey!! Spill it out!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJO3HO0RHd
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumB2nn8Ol9
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dnRMDzUD6
Really? I asked117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweAQQ6Q7NI
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nKH1bKnF5
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WmJj77VZW
Hahah! My bad.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmPnWNj05A
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiYYClyZrx
;P117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzheHyAxTF
Let's call her Pen instead.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v4PnjJrDw
Roger!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCJjrPpJnn
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwGR1WwGZf
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhvnuUXXFi
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdYxBuSSy5
How rude! I even started to open up.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYZl7AlVmj
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIXU7AKPQv
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImEaNvedqH
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOp3zujNXL
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19So4UKLSz
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ODp03eRuR
That's out of my persona.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3zJguGiCx
You're just a wuss. She insulted.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1AvFaZtUw
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5rfnIUyfs
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuasayCgZ4
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmOQkNG6Gl
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TT1Fo7jzk
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVzv6hZUrZ
Really?117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr29UCcexm
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKo0ZK3Bdb
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGpNwfnhwT
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6MtpBoczJ
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypIebi3DEw
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84DD0ogv8w
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLQbM8xWlP
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BqeBMquk9
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KUuNUw2HA
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gx7PcdvPv
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYV13G5T6G
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. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd37C1E6yO6
"Is this yours?" I asked.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2DTlpVFs6
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMLbbRPqVj
"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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUamTDorq1K
Chalk? 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADgGvYZwKx
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF27hV9Zmo0
Chalk? I wrote again. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMC0NgsJkK
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?
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvciwNvn9G
Chalk?
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTbrWAQkHp
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOah4NbG9z
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV7pUTemol
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f6i65hyJz
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGbaShRJWZ
Yes, I hope so too! I replied117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhCwhSZYDw
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHqPulE5tO
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRBuEVQGfU
Thanks, Chalk. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm6sqTKm4e
For what?117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09A4gcbxgZ
For encouraging and pushing me.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOsZvufRRQ
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 wrote117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjz9bGkfG5
You're weird. I teased.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZTgDpXxPu
Not as weird as you! she fought.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhpmLa7wwX
What? I rebelled.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5JvPQrZwS
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULrG9bWUxu
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfFHzRbD4E
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMo6VB3Xc2
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEW0FjMfv2
You suck at drawing, Dusty.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvp5ESMsb2
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjLaeeqLm0
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT33SWalsK
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMiL735TQm
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?117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcRvWRQ2iP
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtA4qf0Gu4
"Hey," she called.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dz1vrcwMZ
"Yes?" I replied subtly.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPZQCrWpPy
"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!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2qgmhel8G
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSD7RZGG1O
"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!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbxf7v6qo0
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRkrSqDQj3
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVasPaC3CU9
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUXiUyGu6k
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!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJXcjDaHbB
Later in the afternoon
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkuNnXEpny
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJbg78dSRG
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj28Prqmup
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYXpIGrRjb
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyujSOvoZPe
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CgjncmE4I
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p0HM9wKXC
Wow! taking the lead? 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv6Bg9xG1X
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf3eBSQHgj
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXunJnpzbq7
Don't you dare!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGrxyzajT7
I was just joking!
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5T3NO5kGo
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7llnLljhC2
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtpkFKWybW
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOVmKPcw3g
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RAFd4JVzZ
I am glad.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2ltkVal1c
I am too.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGSgO20dBf
I guess time's up?117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ6DP2BV2k
I guess so.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOljkJVzP3
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwFlsSSwoP
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4c3ssmDGC
"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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpZ5i8IOw5
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlMwlkYdhO
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrER0Wjtfz
Yes. she agreed.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHJoXpTNrL
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmEBGMIXTs
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ai6svj2T0
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Gu9fBjM7
Oh really?117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfAXHdrtxG
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9mwKd0WvA
She seems drawing something on the board.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BKDoZBt7q
What's that? I asked.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmbE3lkAHj
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdtGwPuPNC
You really suck at drawing. I teased.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVavy3WYdeT
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIokV21302
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yEiTq9rpd
You can't even see me. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P49G1FzsZ
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTM42YdyjJ
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Jp4Opq71
I hope so too. See you Chalk!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo9hyBf3DH
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD076OQuuQx

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKE7Lmitrd
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWMbkasyEe

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdFFuJNGUy
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWmbyW4AWg
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSqFPfeXWe
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01VPx6xyxE
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEhW2HmYTt
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDMYcXisfH
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08tZIe4Mnu
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!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPpAJ1Trap
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzayymgpfX
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwRVIClfqK
Then we really are a comrade. she added.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYszAbmmejY
How come? I asked.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3vcrOFwBU
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKzoJHbl0L
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJx58Sh3Zx
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2f73DDIeE
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. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8dtMTm0vG
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysMemI6xHt
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR4IBHOe7z
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSNinaQBBL
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAoHX8Asqi
Really? How so? I inquired.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQKoIg4IES
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGrvTbpnAi
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GU71HQaxr
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIE5xXw0w2
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplYfQnq7Cr
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpKbC94OYO
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvSqnIHCGR
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMPIUJx5jv
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPWawDQTW9
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYGSRnZ4jT
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.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcIvb2y4az
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. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoklCPfmDG
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDteJNztUq
I know it won't.
