Songbird - My Song shall be written

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ZhduBHLX
I'm tired.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNd6BTuuNv
I wrote.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaDlQB3OQT
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIFMw8BWAe
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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmv43H0Ycd
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U5m1bCRtL
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J0lnAseqG
May I know your name? I wrote.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPErFCer1fD
(Scribbles) What?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACrar3s6u2
What's that? I responded.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG04g9cJ3u
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xzX8Yz99a
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUCy0yoWuZ
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjllR4Fmjbv
Just as I thought.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFMXVfq2Bf
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXjNlmgKrA
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf4DjmrDRK
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAFLzyjOOK
Yes, Ghandi. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8JsdLEFlJ
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiabzEKuDq
Maybe that's it? She agreed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOe1vVnkxq
Chalk. I wrote539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk4NquZQMs
Chalk? 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW2Zu4LhA0
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWlN8GYMAU
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz9TJyCxVl
That's seems childish. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1GqdExgyO
No, it's cute.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGigXNHmgHx
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2JZuDMRpy
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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1g1WQrNs5
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrgsg3qCAa
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IMjEvBMCx
Good for you. I responded.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBgW6p1On0
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVXQWcxovc
I hope so too! I replied.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxH2UwzqIy
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ZbHgrwgv
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4E6nCdfqC
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!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvdPcAxkN2
Don't you have a crush? she asked539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtkaotmL7s
That's a hassle. I revoke.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcdvFOsKa9
Liar, liar! She accused.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO3sA2cMjQ
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. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr9k7EBRLE
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F7nBZdenL
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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekXWGRVRbz

Unfair.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nSZCTcpvF
Unfair.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI2Tfyi0lU

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulaoM9v1In
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wXJbnt29d
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?

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdthWznywep
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1LPQQ5W84
Yey!! Spill it out!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt6spzgf4F
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDdemcZC76
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmEtqEnth7
Really? I asked539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY1NtMzCl8
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffSdrKGnLV
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1kTD5Y0U8
Hahah! My bad.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMfVrEKH3c
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5nW107sZH
;P539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLbakUyrH2
Let's call her Pen instead.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8JHtlaaFt
Roger!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqo8rYulaz
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HbZw6AHmf
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbBRrA0Rnn
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6q5sp8NwY
How rude! I even started to open up.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1wt6h41UM
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAxn8xvWst
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDliVVKc4m4
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB3rtFAQBe
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlINGCpPCa
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBgk3BmJUD
That's out of my persona.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW17H4pJLL7
You're just a wuss. She insulted.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrik4UTASQ
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkKkjPyXlw
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kl7YOHEuY
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp71bzwa6Z
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxlh6KO9lA
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyCNtirczs
Really?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6PVVWVCOL
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7KNYvkI4i
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyNUTAQ3lQ
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxKz8CY503
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavzJoFAAL1
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjqmmgXC4o
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL1GL5bErM
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB3bUs4FQD
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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPVUcHxgtY
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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9U2msYVbh
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. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCb6bfqmjV
"Is this yours?" I asked.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7GGZBMdUQ
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kXgCkDZ3D
"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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Blw97dou
Chalk? 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiu8dmsfT4
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC6j6PIgWq
Chalk? I wrote again. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLmeHLsqlr
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?

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCZuOCzqNY
Chalk?

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeQzF6JWQq
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U2vCm8L3B
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYERO9LXOke
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVyF0TdWNz
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFs42jlikK
Yes, I hope so too! I replied539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuT36j7AuR
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBoLDeWmYR
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6T0Ak61QD
Thanks, Chalk. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGQR4FDGnF
For what?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAseVCawsd
For encouraging and pushing me.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xSB17syoX
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 wrote539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaAtpvRffu
You're weird. I teased.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ022QX8c5u6
Not as weird as you! she fought.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT54TvlhBp
What? I rebelled.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnZudZap4u
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6JcqDffjB
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5STW42Zhg
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyglT0ihKw
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtKitOLBT4
You suck at drawing, Dusty.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhbBAb7VxW
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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz86RHfLoaH
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTjYKH6eu1
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoCzhUWxir
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?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyXkJEi82E
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE16BjBR3Y
"Hey," she called.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUm9WByGsn
"Yes?" I replied subtly.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNmgqQIz5p
"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!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVswlKwT8K
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZeMi9LuLM
"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!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGQtWEJrCw
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr5VhEzjlF
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Wuwf2QWH
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6SLOKumsh
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!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntssEDSH0U
Later in the afternoon

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCMUlF5Z7r
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6yZKvKouu
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVJBtw6opY
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybHVwyPWIG
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyeAbdJaN5
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlbrZgd4D7
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcSHccVOxr
Wow! taking the lead? 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX6T2auVLd
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2xJbYuXtX
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZtRJdeDcW
Don't you dare!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVZrLAsp1L
I was just joking!

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN54iU37Eh
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2PF4lG9sN
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6BKKyhT1M
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsHkDtyqWa
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy1dXLS9NV
I am glad.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHhKNywRk7
I am too.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zsiNPfiFc
I guess time's up?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeGSUzGsYH
I guess so.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLeY1NBpv0
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8yf8iicGf
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm0hD4ZXw5
"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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcWgkUR22D
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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbU78mpgo7

I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnyaSXOXD2
Yes. she agreed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNL28gOc1Q
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again.  I added.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEaDjmAkBE
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX0SUlOM4X
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEobhUSO0x
Oh really?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVA3VzvkTB
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me!  I wrote.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Uxvv1cnf
She seems drawing something on the board.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqClEkrKqc
What's that? I asked.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP4V3tZVu2
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsdCHCbPGm
You really suck at drawing. I teased.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8lPj54Y10
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTsorkwXGs
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YsidT4ufl
You can't even see me. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DB48NKV5v
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFss75xBUC
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time.  she finally agreed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEonsMpSuVh
I hope so too. See you Chalk!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj14crufYLV
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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4psLrGig1n

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdIfXU3rYb

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWErhl8jGEF
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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGv41fZIoC
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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA4Oj0k6uO
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TnMIhR2EZ
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJBce2GMKO
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lzDqfQtpW
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMvC7tzEJl
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!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYYjqJg8PV
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jvDBjC7Zh
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFMKGq6CXX
Then we really are a comrade. she added.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnDj2Ek2Ic
How come? I asked.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtBvJKGZtG
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJIxrT42rI
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8grJjQeI0z
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRyl3coG6I
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. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl5MBgU688
539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6hFjFJFsP
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWycmTTJYC
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvGwLFQJGy
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifbl4HbSRS
Really? How so? I inquired.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc23UMfSuR
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0YgaK2WoZ
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiCsO8Ebi1
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7tF8wScOy
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZs3bz8Rhi
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyvOWD5aGo
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vil8y1l1T
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5QsPDqoXG
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m0rI5lk6W
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.

539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN8oQoKuTL
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eXAEYLYP0
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. 539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAw0eL44DI
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.
