Songbird - My Song shall be written

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsRreGPXRt
I'm tired.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQQVMYuetC
I wrote.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPB7r9PLEc
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYvXGZGEiX
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLy2fcC63d
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0BRaxrVAl
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJBk004gwr
May I know your name? I wrote.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJqR6tZ7Fr
(Scribbles) What?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJiYgRPCzC
What's that? I responded.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4OqV5Qmug
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP1ra9iygi
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZPqK9NjXp
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLuXKwAvn3
Just as I thought.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHsbRDJTI5
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwhqLrlpdv
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vqaJLUxUv
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0p1fd1Wmz
Yes, Ghandi. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeCideQqA8
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84yLmjo2ed
Maybe that's it? She agreed.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVjGHKpBHz
Chalk. I wrote234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FZABHbI2M
Chalk? 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJASlxjdSE
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaiYWuizXd
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaWMu9CNg5
That's seems childish. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8LQ0z2AQ9
No, it's cute.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKnUwEsyxO
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO7gxZCqXu
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyRkR3Z23d
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAHqZPvJW8
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZpgid0IG6
Good for you. I responded.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9191Hd0NM
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfuAGRT2Jg
I hope so too! I replied.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruQqd0KRiP
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VEZ5bmSwY
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZg0ZzXUBq
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!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapeDliYhFK
Don't you have a crush? she asked234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2xocikOae
That's a hassle. I revoke.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhpRkAQy72
Liar, liar! She accused.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOPZIT6PcE
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUxkWssc6M
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOfJhoKvZ7
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QBKUTtbJQ

Unfair.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhehXpdM5oo
Unfair.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LqfYlA8DP

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeYcSqOpbH
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGtkN1gWft
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?

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjFMgDZtzD
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG6g0IKG2u
Yey!! Spill it out!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi2wUP8REJ
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg4nNHiBgr
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Lyin9dvQ
Really? I asked234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fotTtGVXQ
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLuQiNgyG8
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARuFLaxsuy
Hahah! My bad.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChQeqzcVxg
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcVPJZCbYJ
;P234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVT5fCQ8y0
Let's call her Pen instead.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxy8dfGPHq
Roger!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3YrJCkkAN
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCkAWSoUhm
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4a4CkQtQH
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtqVJ019zB
How rude! I even started to open up.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO0rC0XgVx
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzcWMfE8WC
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUrdOyti90
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78cPrDBatc
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5iwW20WL5
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dosYtXpM3
That's out of my persona.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSJCswkGIB
You're just a wuss. She insulted.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA4ZDMnMsx
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKmL13pkmC
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9p3HzREjT
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxQkiN5FDs
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7o5fVwTIt
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdyd0e92iO
Really?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGZxCNAZv9
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwNhGIrXJf
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHejaqmzbdC
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt1YKB6k5K
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaOGkv6gOc
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7p9lTm8kU
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dJNCJYyyr
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRqpKkQZdd
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT1TlbcyAX

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYQnQoIEmU
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJowXUenDGn
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlYBV5P47v
"Is this yours?" I asked.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlrS5rjCd7
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt2tsrE06k
"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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCmvlgl4GZ
Chalk? 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjlb2p3brT
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZxAmnofIj
Chalk? I wrote again. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfGgY7RkV8
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?

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zd2Fj4eW3
Chalk?

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pbLzyx00R
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusWyslL5Kr
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2K9Ru3mxJ
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jaqXqIO1J
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K7blyoJdz
Yes, I hope so too! I replied234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk8RkRC8dF
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI39jhxgUW
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeobSCyGCJI
Thanks, Chalk. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwH03jDKny
For what?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVfdWNtl1e
For encouraging and pushing me.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuJBvQ3ojg
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 wrote234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl1JMqdBAt
You're weird. I teased.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybQwjbglYa
Not as weird as you! she fought.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg48s86BEy7
What? I rebelled.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajIuCDaQ0b
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP0IMX4bbd
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuutEqLQOj
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYbJ4M0uhw
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpx5m4E2Zw
You suck at drawing, Dusty.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQTOr5KEHe
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWg0a71U0y
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixMMTrGrRJ
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33KLNEJM0e
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?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehTL6NZ4ri
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtphgkUZ4so
"Hey," she called.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijPZ5StMvi
"Yes?" I replied subtly.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw68oRJcXi
"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!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJONAtyXJy
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAlvbrxuVl
"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!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC6ZWBq17g
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpXUpJmpPc
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfhKhouMQG
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGMr0neile
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!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXmbFmWwVb
Later in the afternoon

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoy7smkvUL
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1lPjiR9Zz
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4b5eDxDg6
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQeqnFb2pQ
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkqi5Sh9OC
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ015Gzx6bMq
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT3M4MY4D3
Wow! taking the lead? 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhmbcTXVTn
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYvvBjiV6l
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw7BPdMRnO
Don't you dare!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskxTEOmToB
I was just joking!

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEozOtMhbhd
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQb8hr4fI9
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5YkNgVvWD
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNSp7LTSNE
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHzOLFfdIg
I am glad.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqtQXXMAdt
I am too.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQc6AzLyhq
I guess time's up?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmt92gtuKj
I guess so.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuPZ7g3i4c
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdG6FWkgae
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ7n97pEp3
"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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEOputqzCV
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHx5jfGEoO

I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKkyO3Vffv
Yes. she agreed.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPjY0M71MX
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again.  I added.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJxZLJlJok
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ4YmXpDyZ
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgx8LatWjF
Oh really?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjWaFMiAT2
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me!  I wrote.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYN7k4u1A1
She seems drawing something on the board.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKWsf0i1CV
What's that? I asked.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSWHxOTnFN
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqdATYjCAg
You really suck at drawing. I teased.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJrhufjvFw
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwOIrkQbRD
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1xmGQnbqS
You can't even see me. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSVWD5Za3u
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1giH93L69
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time.  she finally agreed.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSncj0ftp6
I hope so too. See you Chalk!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWStp4Y0CY8
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAS37jWyCE

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDm7Y5q1z0
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qdoE5rlDp

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcCIBnsPQ5

She uttered.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatK2XeQLns

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG2PKKCWSD

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8iA0AWOnk
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTBnFgjlm7
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0VPOzwmx0
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2goaY1RuZ
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKNaCTA4Al
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOa0ITD5vr
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrRBTWNFwK
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!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHDnFu6x2c
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan52962fvT
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaov2erqny
Then we really are a comrade. she added.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2nVhbU1Gs
How come? I asked.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aYjP9XxdK
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFQGV06iwC
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZHx4ZtIH9
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WS1dkXk3R
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXrBpPLzR7
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2ee01xHOr
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tEcKGSmdn
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZQtjQ2nVp
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJFOpe0ZG9
Really? How so? I inquired.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIlooRyX9h
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXtjMBbUaP
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDgn5kPaQi
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk0bLlrQGi
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1rFtubm1E
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4To2KXiw3f
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvJMSGXqrZ
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNQft5mN1l
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN6Y1Ux44q
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsUJ1n85fh
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIwTgQ52zP
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lg7lZBs9D
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.
