I'm tired.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx4mYmG4XI
I wrote.

I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHair8i9ZH
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7euzowq9Q
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADTTsn3mGN
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNAd9yDUMt
May I know your name? I wrote.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD2xHDx6y0
(Scribbles) What?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZFzEffUz3
What's that? I responded.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B1CROXKQK
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlUp5dz5D2
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjuJodhmTZ
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml8nv1sds2
Just as I thought.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLxUk8Ojt5
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaIFbfQq1j
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMXwAiC7bu
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuYJUDWEFO
Yes, Ghandi. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNSmrU8LIu
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBfMU6qJtQ
Maybe that's it? She agreed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZNTtzWOy1
Chalk. I wrote133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvbilnSv0Y
Chalk? 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb0eSrm9hx
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ844nOOPx6A
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJBt9ogAT2
That's seems childish. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdJu5VonLO
No, it's cute.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY93wrJuGV
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk3zLo9zK2
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UedJleaao
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQZfKWThNN
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRCQtObGNN
Good for you. I responded.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkImAbb0nC
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq8V4HAshz
I hope so too! I replied.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEMgxzObTl
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDtLeSBIRt
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk4PkIM4Tg
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!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYS98SyHIr
Don't you have a crush? she asked133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1HDU6qiTm
That's a hassle. I revoke.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTufQ8C5oIH
Liar, liar! She accused.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQWb39B0BJ
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. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiG5NkDbNs
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRRjHOUNpK
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wXO97XIeP
Unfair.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrul1CaxNxp
Unfair.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CZ7Ij0fFJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRUacwE95C
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J624LHBDL
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?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEcXn9MVZC
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxHDUnWWH0
Yey!! Spill it out!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAdY2O7PFQ
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5STJdv6wY
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyvuM4q4Xg
Really? I asked133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoit4UyumVD
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTzW2dlPwI
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprTKAKlfeO
Hahah! My bad.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuKrBNpNS7
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdqh4S3YGN
;P133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7kdM8cMwK
Let's call her Pen instead.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuTYsLVDjY
Roger!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lZ8qkQjvZ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMTQMDr4RZ
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAfOwud2Hz
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpZEJO6SJm
How rude! I even started to open up.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ9bvXVB8l
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES0bYAOpUV
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jSTldcAGj
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1jWsLtmzw
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL95vqNWoy
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Yf8Tl3go
That's out of my persona.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyCTXuOiB5
You're just a wuss. She insulted.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiH2jEZFVw
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzJWtzrfJF
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsSQ1Mh505
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iXLq6gtFy
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4IQCuN0dv
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXqMzu6XND
Really?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrs56RlmMn
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDueweYVqSl
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV2buqJDkr
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JhtVeqgjX
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9U5A4b11c
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoFFZqpv4e
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS55q9YiBM8
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvwwghX8pz
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUawW1kWwj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtjdnVuoFV
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNiWnMKpfX
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. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgkinZsx63
"Is this yours?" I asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNIUzOPzUq
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVk4dAtT6J
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYcKGRvqjH
Chalk? 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmH4HbahJE
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK5TWvGWlM
Chalk? I wrote again. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yLx1iI8WG
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?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIb76aZU5O
Chalk?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zWbLgsO6A
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgyVH4I31s
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoO2sY8j7P
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocz1aBf2xo
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWgN7uSAA2
Yes, I hope so too! I replied133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NjOjQ5dbe
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqdJnT4t7k
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52NcCRAngm
Thanks, Chalk. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctZ8ZNsn0H
For what?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IffBEHjbi
For encouraging and pushing me.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloo2on4won
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 wrote133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qh8ttCPMn
You're weird. I teased.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubwdyOJTc6
Not as weird as you! she fought.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xIHeVaZi5
What? I rebelled.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmuwZrallF
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ynEOCoS9C
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzpXCeoG67
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpZvuk2ZRu
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnbombkswg
You suck at drawing, Dusty.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1k62wFXGI
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsVm0xqPaX
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PO4BQwpyu
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgGCtFhtpR
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?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsUrpnRqin
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44VOV9dpvE
"Hey," she called.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOI0zAwL1r
"Yes?" I replied subtly.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafWa4S6nfX
"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!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjrniLUBJO
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnXleBqwlW
"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!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYljaSLhsbW
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhldCqRhGgY
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOxFSe9mqs
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cRdxxO7as
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!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5yPUat0lw
Later in the afternoon
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm8sUPDS7T
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojJS4EVTu7
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpjXJz3hGf
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2XLougyp2
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRIbiU2GLo
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zORZjow3k
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2PGQ3J7bJ
Wow! taking the lead? 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZBl3CfkRn
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9FuM7DdFt
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWQy6m7wGI
Don't you dare!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsLHs2aZtZ
I was just joking!
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwCRz4A6jl
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH05cevnnFd
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHVDIGBnvP
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7iGBSZL38
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuYjG87UhH
I am glad.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue0T0WOynR
I am too.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uSOHRpltE
I guess time's up?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD2Tz6wYgI
I guess so.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOglRLs94oX
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGbSfqw1Xu
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xGCKXI8j6
"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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sO9E4MJLb
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsQJRlpZyI
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihXaV1OfL7
Yes. she agreed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfGLYvNDFD
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1D30UQ4sl
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2BOG7Is4h
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMD1FssI7u
Oh really?133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07n6Y6vq2I
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNDFamSpNJ
She seems drawing something on the board.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ3fqIItMV
What's that? I asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k04nKIK2B
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0StriToUG
You really suck at drawing. I teased.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV6wYjp1Jq
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dk8C0wtRx
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtqSNhYVhi
You can't even see me. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wSnFTW1Uk
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmeCSvdNQO
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbUoJoN3QQ
I hope so too. See you Chalk!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eF3sSaHvj
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcZLUSFV2M

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ppHljNaZd
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmDOsHaeic

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKIRu5hOUN
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc16W2Mlc6
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoBjLqmrO9
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruWBgdFyJK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy2PvbS45R
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHvwncDtWd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0OGr5PApU
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!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zDHbXPUUH
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0VDiSYnqm
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH24e0L0FIr
Then we really are a comrade. she added.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOH1wawlkl
How come? I asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjTnVwwZxf
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7V8NC3jTc
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkZHyFQS5c
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDY1HORgFl
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. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3O3rMtC8G
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS8KvmXun5
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn6cCnDgag
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM7o3CPzMQ
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZHpZJYmDn
Really? How so? I inquired.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6jxoa18nB
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc12p8QN2T
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO5fK2WDCp
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHUGLXIPWf
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh8P8bDvn4
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEitqrXXpcH
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBR6aVLPgF
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VNPm0ZhNf
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGNNn7eXn1
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkTCpIC8pM
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNIDidOdMo
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. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTHmHpZg1o
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDOQwRt4Hl
I know it won't.
