I'm tired.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVX4T7wbOZ
I wrote.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OI5i2JOGD
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOcSgDGcCi
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIy8xsxCwm
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCX4VHT5qX
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTCchQOX2r
May I know your name? I wrote.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mqkY3HZzl
(Scribbles) What?173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHFkzcfgMr
What's that? I responded.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXgWVhid5a
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87UXlVcIjZ
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF3kFnhWsE
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF70lPJ27Mi
Just as I thought.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjDRuxrCqa
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsLRTMBZ3F
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXwhOv0W7b
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnQmUb3NyQ
Yes, Ghandi. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQkgW48Dua
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstV2SyrF9h
Maybe that's it? She agreed.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUmyKqariy
Chalk. I wrote173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l8MOjZXIk
Chalk? 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAQfVIBG2y
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mPcwR8ZrM
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJzACIyjOl
That's seems childish. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS7ZjT2lfN
No, it's cute.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wE0RFURqO
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKfeOn1fQg
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPp8e4v3xh
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkqKHuqAAj
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmVdPZg9SN
Good for you. I responded.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf87k8gdZE
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RvsUSTs9H
I hope so too! I replied.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgfD8FQxgy
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mIXsiTtjh
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA7HA2knrJ
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!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZmMbQ6xLU
Don't you have a crush? she asked173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboLv8JgvrB
That's a hassle. I revoke.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HAJQL4zAp
Liar, liar! She accused.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBp9qd7vjh
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. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfR2cEhNV0
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt6dzEdxbq
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00GvMu0QuI
Unfair.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8oocNOeKl
Unfair.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5nFCScUJQ
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSe0izVQUW
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YleIy7kRP
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?
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnp84Z2Z9n
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecgCPbYCq5
Yey!! Spill it out!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6CvcFrYP
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGCCKPVTbq
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagkmsqzFVH
Really? I asked173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4gFyDvWrj
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaXXbE54Il
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyJh8LpOPS
Hahah! My bad.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DZ4OswDQN
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0EKgKeHNC
;P173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqicdobzdA
Let's call her Pen instead.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiObTkmf1Q
Roger!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCFynYs868
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawFTtjZve5
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc5lENZIat
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtRRSoPegs
How rude! I even started to open up.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOnDHpkuFB
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP0UOjHj3e
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjU89USJwK
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nWTH3sKu0
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHeAJwQfNA
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh6vEs3W0p
That's out of my persona.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wqoqhEIvu
You're just a wuss. She insulted.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuYQnSq4eg
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2g7goxGUw
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagxtHw6m5D
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM3mdbSHlE
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmCca67JSE
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuYOY2B8ge
Really?173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu54N8BQFc
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIkFmys0n5
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0wCTmFboE
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvKBmP90zG
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEUqjgYA1y
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDISPPtGVda
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu4NQ4iiRl
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVRtvxhOKO
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fqju8S7C5

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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQVg1hovmK
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. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd561UCV6Kd
"Is this yours?" I asked.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJJlfuJxBJ
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B9EZtGy88
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIiqlap2r4
Chalk? 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXxcpfdjlO
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTzETCal1N
Chalk? I wrote again. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFm5qtCO1l
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?
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjliEw6skc
Chalk?
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe2tGu46uK
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBKz7Ouik6
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3uszycRs6
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsaud2OPJR
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalUMws3KoB
Yes, I hope so too! I replied173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA9xE41ykv
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKjGXRQJbM
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDp4zMTXLN
Thanks, Chalk. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzK5hsEN01
For what?173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRPVDr1Vlt
For encouraging and pushing me.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9KTA4tv0R
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 wrote173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx8UCNX9vd
You're weird. I teased.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcko9q6PcYF
Not as weird as you! she fought.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOy8zjQCKa
What? I rebelled.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjR6tMKnkO
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlC706gXsH
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPhAsXVhjr
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡintUJl2P3Q
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE5UQceiYT
You suck at drawing, Dusty.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ610AfkHau9
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYmQ03xWdy
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4PtdPJSlr
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A7qkrqLop
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?173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzIqflTe4K
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHkLrEbBQn
"Hey," she called.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0XgsXE9pq
"Yes?" I replied subtly.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolDyuu8zNJ
"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!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjycXYkmzQ
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp81Tco1bpr
"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!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV6skQ2veY
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxD3lRFIvC
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBu3wHIgT0
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsfR47ywLa
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!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl3Qy4pYwp
Later in the afternoon
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dCvRV3v4S
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDytXvYGmI9
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapLxlMzPeK
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMyi2Xj0yF
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJMqvNlhir
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0oAiiSjKE
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5QdTf47k1
Wow! taking the lead? 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMzz00m19W
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38cXsAcTMo
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnjXqzI3BQ
Don't you dare!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIGCT9pDuA
I was just joking!
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87wvpJf7Wg
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWeEkL2BXW
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiIpSyEtDJ
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcHinCT7Vo
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCZVC2bOM3
I am glad.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7Gw35glkj
I am too.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgs5dJPgg9
I guess time's up?173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxO7S1B8hA
I guess so.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdnSKRY0Jz
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1wSAf24Ui
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsij6ryCzK9
"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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOyVtp5VWC
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLVQQRiTNX
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oso0SGYcu
Yes. she agreed.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Pmo6RDZs
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSz63HEr9k
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuxJvq3o1y
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb84hGiobDX
Oh really?173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFnN5Iy8xg
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTIIsXjKfp
She seems drawing something on the board.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKrkaivJkf
What's that? I asked.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb8GMf5il1
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOi2bTpk3A
You really suck at drawing. I teased.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkwIbeief7
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRgS3pRPJG
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hQP59DwI9
You can't even see me. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxTMQXtVWW
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrUPi0iEax
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMC9nukLf9
I hope so too. See you Chalk!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMD7TW1Xy6
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOYQgBK1aG

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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyhzuJ34My
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6UNGl2lJ9
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqJYN7UWnd
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetToySeiKV
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSySiblQgP
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkPSG9QXdJ
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!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB7akoGpbk
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNJhaQOH29
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92RXqE6im7
Then we really are a comrade. she added.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1E9G1Ey07
How come? I asked.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyisDfnpwDT
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9JyHKE1XD
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUVMurUNoC
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZneDTaR7Zz
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. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3ouGBXpO7
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7at8Py81Kz
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMQNVbJv3O
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqnzx6pZa7
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueESUtulqq
Really? How so? I inquired.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTEco9eZI7
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRwXkbrd26
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPbbmHKkv2
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURu7fKT9O0
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEV5h1qTcA
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn1jhHFwxw
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpdwAiUPRP
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqu6uwMhRj
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89OIUvc8Qj
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8psAh1bKU0
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf07QzZkmAU
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. 173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsCfbQo6Bb
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2OUFo8AJe
I know it won't.
