Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrx6ubhvX8
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfOfbm75Gf
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9mOxpB1Fh
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAVUD50vl7
May I know your name? I wrote.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhEDC1R7Rv
(Scribbles) What?70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUKeoUl7oD
What's that? I responded.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVVcefXZCl
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsZKAN6xsg
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynojUyuNMg
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ6OocaBGk
Just as I thought.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqBd6SK5ba
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSH2b3Tp9X
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0dvQWBxi0
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh3VbopbIR
Yes, Ghandi. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyu9bigw2R
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Hqiap8Cz
Maybe that's it? She agreed.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FvW0VTUMA
Chalk. I wrote70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnDtgRo4n4
Chalk? 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnnA3bUu5k
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpUg2vQo3u
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM5FUrOJGl
That's seems childish. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnpsq7bktw
No, it's cute.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJgnpJSNc1
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3I98gqfqv
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGjvnyaCBv
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdKLlTbVgK
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAVVLpsaf1
Good for you. I responded.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69KvZ6nKO5
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE6vBn0ohi
I hope so too! I replied.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjXTBAWjCl
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpttAjlxSd
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfIs91j3Ah
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!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIPeZY48sN
Don't you have a crush? she asked70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrVo1YmGNi
That's a hassle. I revoke.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqTfiQvujv
Liar, liar! She accused.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VUz4MqAXm
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. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8arbmbmsd
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEUhjfiSzP
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fd1VMhdI4
Unfair.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauqyaeUO9S
Unfair.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y29ZwNFDJ
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblLdvN7Nv8
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIC1IvC05x
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?
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RPhXSmn1Q
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeX2dwNTuP
Yey!! Spill it out!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9aQJkZIAx
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gKXT9ln7e
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpHdqH9FLA
Really? I asked70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr67jMPhiD
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5njrjXN2h
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIxUB2SH6k
Hahah! My bad.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk6P4uOijy
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMigCwPif6
;P70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx7XoNwrN3
Let's call her Pen instead.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I2zDDfrkT
Roger!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvQoL8ybhm
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L1fPWRhpd
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xizJQbdOx
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5mS0b8txO
How rude! I even started to open up.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhsCRlMgAt
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwcaCYlOrX
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxM2bxL8uZ
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj8vNxZNpO
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ9XVJEU2S
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3YK2X0QiL
That's out of my persona.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡank1VluTGK
You're just a wuss. She insulted.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXq6EnNvJh
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmENmHNbji3
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG6Cq3xnyb
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TbcFOqWA0
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwzWH9JrDF
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JbUxyNqFm
Really?70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKDCN36RyE
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnzBXcQhyj
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ox62Gh7Z
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FIs9Rq9v4
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb3A9pwZMx
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAamZiZPXk8
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lpLgtsgsQ
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF646Q8XjbN
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ycHJuo1e8
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMPHlM2Ttk
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKjz6CIz96
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. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHfHVdnfWX
"Is this yours?" I asked.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetno3WiSfp
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XeWES42rD
"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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBN5nVh208
Chalk? 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEUCLKZvc2
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58msjcunhq
Chalk? I wrote again. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNPzAzKS9k
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?
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D34HSWlEd
Chalk?
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKtDArfxz5
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAkwlBj3dp
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKyWhggCZL
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NXz6b0ZJz
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD4n18XGI8
Yes, I hope so too! I replied70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lwRweVLie
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0xgXEfYnE
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgAWsbT8fY
Thanks, Chalk. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI7nwHVBHD
For what?70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnJIVQNZrS
For encouraging and pushing me.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2z2MCBXuW
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 wrote70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPUVXIawp7
You're weird. I teased.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mJCeWyd8q
Not as weird as you! she fought.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEVS4m8d3u
What? I rebelled.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdjfRQdieT
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQPOemgMn8
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoivs48yoFe
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zvADSFCPz
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj25uLfLHDs
You suck at drawing, Dusty.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qQBKuyE9q
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrgizYPnNO
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjipPnrAPRr
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJxhq5ReOQ
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?70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4jRv9rRFp
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZVu6nTLFW
"Hey," she called.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIB5aSywyS
"Yes?" I replied subtly.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA1SXKiO5w
"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!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJglr7Ci8kA
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpkoLn7SCx
"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!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxqC4fekNF
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNOlroP2QY
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxdXtiClrm
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIlt3NbJss
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!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLO3jYZnia
Later in the afternoon
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KHRGvBq8C
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl7YSr4jSq
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3wpoawdqh
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5bGPwFEUz
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQD9skBpTz
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUxjUWSzYQ
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCipR9Q1ON2
Wow! taking the lead? 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIZxlhpPXB
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gMZQzi0W2
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP90uORsbL
Don't you dare!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VtWeHp41p
I was just joking!
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFszapUYTlP
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs8mtt6UZW
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf5PtgLEb5
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDQVbgJyT0
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQjldBd0Jb
I am glad.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uZ89kcaZa
I am too.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3nrJUkPSj
I guess time's up?70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAop4KWQ3ux
I guess so.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL1m2MHb2A
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIomoyo4WJ
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBVq86A5Bo
"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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgMluONsjH
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw3u6u4TQP
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIDzwKyltw
Yes. she agreed.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwExUfPufMe
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA28uKZgYKN
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQavaTqhhj
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJDBOh0n4v
Oh really?70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFosqZh01YF
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHTBlKcyAH
She seems drawing something on the board.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWOY3lsgH3
What's that? I asked.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpPJgunXX7
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw1i1FKrMp
You really suck at drawing. I teased.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM3GGlYvaL
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnNoa28Fk8
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZGogQOkFL
You can't even see me. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndkwIqzxgo
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEiy2o4EQo
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X36Crsdeu
I hope so too. See you Chalk!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj1mIxgv6z
See you Dusty! I'll----. The text cut off. I couldn't help but wonder what she's going to write. But I guess it's just the same as the usual days. We got cut off, but we'll definitely resume the next day. However, this time, it'll take a long time to resume.

Time went on, Christmas came, and I successfully invited Zil out. We enjoyed our time together and had a blast. We ended our time gazing upon a fireworks display. I intended to confess to her and now's the time. I uttered my words and she was shocked hearing my confession. My loud heart beats as loud as the fireworks exploding up in the sky, patching the night with lights. Colorful lights that also reflects to our faces facing each other.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfi7OMl67V

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iqd6ZSzRE
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5yLJvN1x0
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsVPSGeZzs
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rra0opCww
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjBsf7cUYM
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHIwxmpyhB
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbArUCV1ii5
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!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2PSpGGjSe
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAblW1gtt72
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr5m7gt60H
Then we really are a comrade. she added.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny63MuDt0A
How come? I asked.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vBuMbXU0V
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4yJuHhIvJ
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5osZJLglo
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61744TuNdl
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. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGPjCAD95Q
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUfYB16djH
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZUoCUHFot
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXQLl0hCpc
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9bugaQM2Z
Really? How so? I inquired.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSASh4n4iy
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtdU9DZEGl
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCZbQTZqiZ
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXjBLuUFIS
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpiINYcjAt
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjww9KsxEo
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfGzFXu7Sm
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuio9zvkSwc
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsbunNzvAN
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVD4X2rTl3
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.70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqLYmiN7Ia
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. 70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl7TBzYJK9
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.
