Songbird - My Song shall be written

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimqGDp3d4c
I'm tired.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtU9COj4GJ
I wrote.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoHRFz2IgB
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7mnLbuA5R
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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuH7HBCCVL
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE0fP240eJ
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCThLfuIp6Q
May I know your name? I wrote.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf5JUQZ3L4
(Scribbles) What?537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMTnDn1z07
What's that? I responded.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DT9nuqmBJ
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC72jcU9nkP
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lutoE3mu1
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaQeYgvVSP
Just as I thought.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81y44GbkWj
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbzTHmqNOU
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJLXMaADQZ
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfAIToTP2Q
Yes, Ghandi. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqZBiS2LKx
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgphqa0aS0
Maybe that's it? She agreed.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb624ney3Ut
Chalk. I wrote537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRFPb7LhKk
Chalk? 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWIMOw633c
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrHT2dt2A3
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOV03Q6gTe
That's seems childish. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIEPx30Ja2
No, it's cute.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yERmzQU6r
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvEqJF5saF
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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiNOh4EaFo
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlZTvQknqW
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHOszLoPxy
Good for you. I responded.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFDlSNlCUh
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmBFxpSTQm
I hope so too! I replied.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcT1ZQakHZ
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVqRlObXhA
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVNf2tCIgg
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!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0peTQaVjd3
Don't you have a crush? she asked537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yOs2Ti4Et
That's a hassle. I revoke.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHNPHbNuB4
Liar, liar! She accused.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMtdAYEs3L
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. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qa8liBEKX
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjUn9jrm67
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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13ORpz6Da2

Unfair.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsuUtJEagS
Unfair.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkBgdvjeA6

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymCci68AFW
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfQkiTRE3r
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?

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPksTIPiLK2
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0kFEYbqas
Yey!! Spill it out!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eEurxOQa7
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjlUQMxqEQ
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1luVjEknK
Really? I asked537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPlbLZkC0R
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT5sxF9BKw
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmrwUCUt7b
Hahah! My bad.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNvUJNQ6to
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagDFX9pJY2
;P537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXxZaPlUDg
Let's call her Pen instead.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD8rvyDwvq
Roger!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Fmx6zsrO
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhJNrnDsZJ
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCCjuTlsqG
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34JTrd2iKv
How rude! I even started to open up.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW8npPxlD6
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RWQBJqvPv
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIPexnxDLK
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2YMfqtRQt
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQV5YBdEMG
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wi37dGwFH
That's out of my persona.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmtE0iuhBf
You're just a wuss. She insulted.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2RUpC0kO4
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUixowDOsuv
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48srMm8Tqe
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC41m8k263
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXgdpIAjYY
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1OGomSHNQ
Really?537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyvKnuZIwv
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvOwiw6Iyw
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCGPnsCvC0
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDP6Eg8Moz
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC5suGuL3o
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61DKz1NtwQ
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lCwf20a5C
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46oJDJE5v6
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.

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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXvQgdRE1U
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. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1jq0kioPU
"Is this yours?" I asked.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz6TkfVbAP
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYivvYx2j8
"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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7SOdoAPAo
Chalk? 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Riu6SeO2Q
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE7dxY4w5T
Chalk? I wrote again. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwtDMfnURA
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?

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PPs8Rylan
Chalk?

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcDOO3If1E
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFueZXjj3b9
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2GckkBU4J
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWct3WKAAxf
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAiNGznsuo
Yes, I hope so too! I replied537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV87Edo6BBZ
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFJAPo73ix
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm4CoE8Ioz
Thanks, Chalk. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHjQHPcBI5
For what?537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzb4TWCZvW
For encouraging and pushing me.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sFF70s6Hx
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 wrote537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVfOw6rij4
You're weird. I teased.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SjwSY7n6u
Not as weird as you! she fought.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLq9967cH8
What? I rebelled.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wwprBhhvJ
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IShMnIm6z
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m6F24eGOv
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j5eD5ZovR
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ey7Qh3eZz
You suck at drawing, Dusty.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzSg0861ta
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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiPhEKwHjQ
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC1BDr03Jj
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fmEyHes7W
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?537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDkn9KdQUk
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZOsdbcxZa
"Hey," she called.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3T0pP8Q54
"Yes?" I replied subtly.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T4Jm3bHqO
"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!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WY78R2EJQ
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoofm8jQaJ
"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!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWPKUFdAwu
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhichbbvygE
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhkDEXF8lr
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrKlHSZ435
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!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPBdUFcfJl
Later in the afternoon

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXQ6fhv1Bb
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOg1t4uPOw
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSysxobnzq
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQflgjA2zr
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hlsjFydTJ
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16kt6WBJoP
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJPKAXhX7L
Wow! taking the lead? 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxBpazeXjp
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJIOa2pVOn
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYZVHjVT12
Don't you dare!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIrs4M6TnJ
I was just joking!

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKu7IApo10
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBunZJM7sYh
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhqr0go12L
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJskyCFzkws
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiD5mol4Ax
I am glad.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE5S8yYeSf
I am too.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kAaGXTXRu
I guess time's up?537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImBCTOrfnO
I guess so.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iFpi2b16Y
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFGLCrY0z0
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbybqfXL8tI
"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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjBfRvEs8E
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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd22Q5l3Yl8

I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj62aN7I0d
Yes. she agreed.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B5pmeBjOa
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again.  I added.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NdKSZvDtR
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EXFY3zZrC
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuKhTsd6Qf
Oh really?537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YT7zlfI8T
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me!  I wrote.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HhTHdm3mp
She seems drawing something on the board.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS91fNB6hEC
What's that? I asked.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJZzYtdPwL
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswOHxLdTm8
You really suck at drawing. I teased.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDFTkkaByd
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHkngVw8q4
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI0OJ3dR5d
You can't even see me. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQihcC8jD0
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxRTuL9MNT
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time.  she finally agreed.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Ek7ibDEC
I hope so too. See you Chalk!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdUjlGBH2d
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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxDXT1Uo4I

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyqfD5XaV2
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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvB3cphSvp

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOaYnolzF0

She uttered.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrTHWq6PbK

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfAm7VIX2d
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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT2J6BcRHJ
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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC72ODPAOm
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9kDr8ZAqN
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyszXARtA3
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYvpEr7zBU
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI94UAf5F6y
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!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6q8ZetuJ8
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOMq2KqRdL
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2DrrkUKMs
Then we really are a comrade. she added.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9C9JbvPYM
How come? I asked.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WBt5CsNgj
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeqjO04NVe
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtViAi3uM0
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Um76khNO
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. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCjPnDFRF6
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYsws6U1tP
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYdzFhlsKN
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4RMHJcja5
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqWlUhyzO1
Really? How so? I inquired.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jBHd3HvZB
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lzd8Ks4RO
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lz4tPtlA0
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPFJzm3FhZ
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63CGypj2pe
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvNPqtXVec
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmYXsd5f6i
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2rfUbhZmk
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9nSVENQpR
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.

537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v5cd2f1aI
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w7g7OCRNl
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. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOpu4c99su
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.
