Songbird - My Song shall be written

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ADCZ25Rq
I'm tired.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOkIiCHCNL
I wrote.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH00ZoTKGRC
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20ezewl1e6
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrFjBCuFUO
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4HPMnA03r
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeS47HAnLg
May I know your name? I wrote.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgu6CAxK92
(Scribbles) What?254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2AJLs8W6q
What's that? I responded.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltsqxlOq10
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O7XCgmdcQ
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqW13BtC4l
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q7KwX4JfX
Just as I thought.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMh3POVlda
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNDgZq3eE0
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rsDX2hNf3
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HvMOV4h35
Yes, Ghandi. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytliUU2Hu5
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yhzmAEQFd
Maybe that's it? She agreed.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Tc4GfYk1
Chalk. I wrote254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe25qpi5Nis
Chalk? 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqzSR3Gepw
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk87ZBTApEo
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYW4tVF2uG
That's seems childish. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSghI1Man44
No, it's cute.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY5z1Gy0PM
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5tRZFWDYj
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGpcFUp6KU
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LHMdfdtV4
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d91dmLpZL
Good for you. I responded.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonAtvapOIc
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHONGMwHmLL
I hope so too! I replied.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwxkBEus5m
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4TtnF0CID
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PpN2meIhy
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!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dUvRJp5Fv
Don't you have a crush? she asked254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NkX3xb5XV
That's a hassle. I revoke.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY6hsS39J2
Liar, liar! She accused.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3b7wdSbZq
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. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdoTnY3gu5
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSuOUAGmoh
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q5HFhy5UP

Unfair.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQWkHy93pA
Unfair.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjKERrQBUB

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKORiwTECS
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWNXgYQRaD
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?

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBqi0xRH76
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1hiY2NZ5j
Yey!! Spill it out!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5kjjGpZoc
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6zDcQZyi9
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf6l13s1pO
Really? I asked254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOyXEBs5xZ
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uDQawj583
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwg6sbPo5o
Hahah! My bad.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zgyVOkwLa
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSTbXC6jKt
;P254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OfDQMPBy0
Let's call her Pen instead.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vyo4XQaCk
Roger!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI4wclSkLL
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAEaBjQtve
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo3u8dD8bZ
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYKsaQPpv9
How rude! I even started to open up.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvifR77l8Q
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Lfn02XxT
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1fUz2hH6I
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDkKUkITM6
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJClitJnPyz
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWd11Nvnrr
That's out of my persona.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVobuUojqLv
You're just a wuss. She insulted.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpOrTTimOy
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEQJblCI2y
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgfx6ZajNm
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD1Oo9JjVh
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxbgKlmFJh
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QL82FHg6N
Really?254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8crvf4xZPs
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpzdoaHBK8
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9z3QTN2Pc
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKpFXx9qlA
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeX1jTsSBu
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8zZ6IqBTR
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsD45pFAEz
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedUkRaUmbL
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYkhcebVEm
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsIout1l1R
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. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILzNELqJX0
"Is this yours?" I asked.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUjv3iogg3
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuRRt1Mci6
"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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zdiooVm7N
Chalk? 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIPJmZxMq4
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkFa0o762j
Chalk? I wrote again. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbNHQ5C3tY
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?

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn7c9j0TJh
Chalk?

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVVkmTIcPi
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDOBm2ac0q
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jfo4cnx9o
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7GPJ0KzIX
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUvKjdmSnY
Yes, I hope so too! I replied254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2TDtQcW2Q
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbMPg3Oyxb
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKB5NOml9n
Thanks, Chalk. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpOJ5tnTCW
For what?254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iRujOLXqh
For encouraging and pushing me.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqXYop3fOE
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 wrote254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYcBAySTSS
You're weird. I teased.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgtu2gpCK5
Not as weird as you! she fought.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQuyMQUzBD
What? I rebelled.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRD9MtXCSw
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Unz5EJla
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY810jZtqY
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9grTY18OiV
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK7hGRPDCk
You suck at drawing, Dusty.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjJoLnv4j7
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZekKNGRuWk
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis7sNbcEpW
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYJTjTsU55
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?254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrbINR0ixe
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbML20dsCP
"Hey," she called.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlubbzNNpmE
"Yes?" I replied subtly.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFnWFVq1iP
"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!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd99Jif6ux
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdhF9AdNGs
"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!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZYxTIenph
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5sRrSGPQd
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rNOINWeZZ
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfItJvEin3P
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!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRfzi5bFhL
Later in the afternoon

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqHdOaa3wy
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbri0dRlcl
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CX8bEGAAT
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO1Jsyw8nI
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K9hRZdpCi
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEWavnnbhE
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV8sXJUFvD
Wow! taking the lead? 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkf1LIZepM
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnziWLXBVU
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SgnRsFxlR
Don't you dare!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmm0qyuEd9
I was just joking!

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoXozlW3xR
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkCDb7OGiG
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PWvIgq2mW
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb55NBTMXoh
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0cOeFqO49
I am glad.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPHuCkE8KT
I am too.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdjbx3e886
I guess time's up?254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVv3KnPTbx
I guess so.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBkqTd33V9
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJq2QuapWX
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZGvsPlcFb
"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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy2ztC2Do0
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfzykbWXdy

I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DdjVqhyNQ
Yes. she agreed.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8zYLKI4E8
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again.  I added.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nBsyUVNS2
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCctLNTgtI
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cPaDLO4eg
Oh really?254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8w0c8rlh9
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me!  I wrote.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5EXlU21G2
She seems drawing something on the board.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEJ6KzZ2CD
What's that? I asked.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIhKFiBYgP
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLCY3gvrl9
You really suck at drawing. I teased.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtampCl1f4c
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEbpAZyTss
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz7O53Z7Vv
You can't even see me. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEK8hgV9oM
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc48HFApIN
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time.  she finally agreed.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVxE3Ex6Ct
I hope so too. See you Chalk!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJK1cfo15p
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8fkZ7zUjw

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIir5fqR9DZ

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoYd6LoQS0
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT0B8ijwBU

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0vH015mr5

She uttered.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF6e6fRAUv

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lFM041CtR

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP87lT36ibQ
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleBmA1G4cc
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0IjFfOmWS
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzQZzaGgLO
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuL11VCl2u
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e5GzPXryN
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5r53labVv
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!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHOd3FAkyM
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsBjscxImu
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2zzKbn8hl
Then we really are a comrade. she added.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo4ZTwWCP1
How come? I asked.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfsoJAIWtJ
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86NRNGmOCG
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvY3CCPAir
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX3pvdb90m
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. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GVb1dNJ6q
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo1Uyu3H1e
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuuoo07E5e
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCahhHnGubt
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOgbIgkm3O
Really? How so? I inquired.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAnvnl5wMB
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhXlBXzZVR
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUlqjSi7gd
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dnwR3phTf
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0FLU42mul
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjXYip196y
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ305WtWXRk5
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxblasvRi9
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4A8MRcmXD
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0psVkjudKN
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.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjXlfZNUJh
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. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiyus1viNQ
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.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz9X6gcIW5

I know it won't.
