Songbird - My Song shall be written

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHKDF48Yit
I'm tired.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pE6nGzBAJ
I wrote.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1VwTb5L95
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhhvIqVMyK
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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxO3hdBtRQ
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ljMfNKSNW
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx2VzCGM3r
May I know your name? I wrote.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBk5LupCM9
(Scribbles) What?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5VoNqgxP6
What's that? I responded.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7a9Utj32r
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapjUiH7oV6
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0DsUvj8xz
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLEbHmcPLQ
Just as I thought.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQsEXKlAN6
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGumUoJNG6
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQnIP2v6iv
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaK18zOE8d
Yes, Ghandi. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmQO76eoW0
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrihV8vfMuD
Maybe that's it? She agreed.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIblXQ3H4PN
Chalk. I wrote317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TSJm1jVmX
Chalk? 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI6YuLudQ5
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LiltfUjHZ
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMgRU08tJT
That's seems childish. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjhMvBQhcN
No, it's cute.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gf2GeRqZR
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9dtt2qEJN
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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m7AUSOXDj
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03L6YM1Mz9
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeidfZgxGrv
Good for you. I responded.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdwHY4ju9v
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRES4y8hxty
I hope so too! I replied.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToUavkmRKk
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFB1hYuykh
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskvDiMLOKW
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!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEPCywgye3
Don't you have a crush? she asked317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOvP9K4AiL
That's a hassle. I revoke.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75SgYrtKl5
Liar, liar! She accused.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EMw22ozEF
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. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA2yMTkdjz
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gpNYGuW2f
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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82ltwDCXkD

Unfair.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl1zFFSYjc
Unfair.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh287IxC3ot

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9hAVwXxfS
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7vRliwDic
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?

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHp2iSp6wC
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn8WYvzHVH
Yey!! Spill it out!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7XRmUMUBC
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiECdhkQYob
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtJdeMyMqX
Really? I asked317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K7zzVc4h1
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4DCqudGBB
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYMNSmmdPS
Hahah! My bad.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXn8dXA9MF
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww406A6hZF
;P317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNGZn9b4eI
Let's call her Pen instead.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrT9UOODGm
Roger!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6coX94TxEf
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjg3Wj3OPx
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzbgc1z6lp
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QIbLOjBvd
How rude! I even started to open up.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e6tSHjlwV
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMUPWWasbh
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFfJPYM6mG
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEstu8a8v3b
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1ziWw9FVJ
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLgN0FmlFv
That's out of my persona.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZNpkExiOI
You're just a wuss. She insulted.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFiLTAwbhY
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9tedhQ5Z9
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3kMgj9igY
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qqy41N3Z4
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7hu19gM9R
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6chsPOfxRq
Really?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64BTt3E0Y5
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJBxKa8qnc
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR3LZrzAEb
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A5ehRCT9Q
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k0bQoJIX9
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jp8HeUvXf
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGnumTBpri
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LYPFzAHc5
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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI1778gQ6Q
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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0XSUQ769Z
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. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBgmzFYyZr
"Is this yours?" I asked.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ38soZdRrB
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViXfjtWZkv
"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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRvO449RqE
Chalk? 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDzu6crlBH
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6A01BYT61
Chalk? I wrote again. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBocgKMCEEC
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?

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyWNvsV4td
Chalk?

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGmDDpdWVn
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTVVqa0ajT
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2LTdiWXNi
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7neBX1hG5m
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs3EqAqGoh
Yes, I hope so too! I replied317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsJnRyGFSV
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBav9pjgs3
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnbYAsd6lL
Thanks, Chalk. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLS8zQfF9q
For what?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2DcvTsRQI
For encouraging and pushing me.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZTstCnnlh
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 wrote317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNruCd5htB
You're weird. I teased.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDGOLLF4iY
Not as weird as you! she fought.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcJKZfygAr
What? I rebelled.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyaRjNAifu
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1lwBso5sw
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2DqprFa3j
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABAVVDoVPu
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBetg1q3Iqi
You suck at drawing, Dusty.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMQ00ClWUF
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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb1hfiN3cL
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbfLBBSiQG
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f7vXlm80r
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?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkuLe2XzOl
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4YLeIsi8W
"Hey," she called.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkYMU7W0vT
"Yes?" I replied subtly.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06DmjiOPA0
"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!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsZCbKE5AP
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHJjCn9lmu
"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!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOsdTiKzYm
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV62pfVIP9
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1wnlE8ITn
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20HHXTO41F
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!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0OmHXc8ii
Later in the afternoon

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG7DHLM9S8
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I4aqVxxiB
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL2DlMwdhA
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8YVD7b492
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyXfpfmIDQ
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4R3yojvmk
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkS1T7ZRmx
Wow! taking the lead? 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROn3XDBiSj
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvIY90dcB8
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsyb9DTc2b
Don't you dare!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNubhTvcg4q
I was just joking!

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZzaBRdk1G
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuNCR3zbhE
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqkOXy77oJ
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7wp1XhJR6
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTeTMGB5Dr
I am glad.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXENHqWs3og
I am too.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuQUsTSzgS
I guess time's up?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26y2LHwba4
I guess so.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PLNryK7OE
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV43u62vsvC
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYfzYJRNth
"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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxdW7epGco
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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f80yQIKkk

I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF8RuIjzyk
Yes. she agreed.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJyQu5Ya7h
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again.  I added.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKscRw5rda
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySnv2IQ9gA
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpAQkR65YH
Oh really?317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhpFasuJXr
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me!  I wrote.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJblzHCDmYE
She seems drawing something on the board.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2Petq3OnO
What's that? I asked.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpgw31Ze0W
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiic60ZupNm
You really suck at drawing. I teased.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u2gA22qkC
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRJtGvEy2q
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgalhDwvm6
You can't even see me. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v04EwsaOa
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09t5JOREbB
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time.  she finally agreed.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2nkDH6XvA
I hope so too. See you Chalk!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fs4i49jTU
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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Va4vfPTBO

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHQV3ZQWjQ

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR15yjZhbz
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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJlAKlE36L
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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB2K6oIMAc
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJpQ4hz8rm
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cojSQB1qA
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQxCvGNW2G
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aG1bwyyTr
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!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrPNb4FJgp
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKyPruaA1S
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkeWEIDctQ
Then we really are a comrade. she added.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBIgevIrzV
How come? I asked.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz4pYCuvQJ
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH76OpqPjYl
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr5GKKovYX
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoIA4C1PNb
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. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfWPLLWgPR
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhM6vSc8fp
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNaGpSHuKu
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIAAvLZkmg
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQLOgQT1k7
Really? How so? I inquired.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYZDdKQp9U
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92AXWltPfB
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtLCQ1Zfhx
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM6XsnEu2R
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg71Gwa7YgB
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7ZEoN7Udl
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPidMMheYw5
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03s3dE2XKO
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3dSfRXFCY
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.

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UvGn1Dpsd
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.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou4ehiP5G9
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. 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlht0vQZ1Uc
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.
