I'm tired.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM2vbyCQz6
I wrote.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ521J1Idpwz
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEmS7REaqi
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczSK3fg2sK
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen03ybjlXx
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8WyYGybP3
May I know your name? I wrote.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkFXMRmH2I
(Scribbles) What?135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0uLSIyNaE
What's that? I responded.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzzT9MJJh3
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Qd2uSKkh
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW5fIa9S4i
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF0XgTQZOo
Just as I thought.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMzUYLuDJA
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXL1RQO4Ib
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ2WYC5efl
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf0uzjrr6g
Yes, Ghandi. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcWzp4ist9
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhhScpx39Z
Maybe that's it? She agreed.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3NEVN4pNh
Chalk. I wrote135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBvkCB32Ip
Chalk? 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrXgJUmjK3
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E6wRlJEL4
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiLzUgV3T5
That's seems childish. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMdhNKL1na
No, it's cute.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLQVGTPlIf
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPldVJU0exm
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq9HpVTEEL
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfDgYLHt5B
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGiLd58JdW
Good for you. I responded.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2trgCrUmSJ
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI4ruKFUgT
I hope so too! I replied.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1cNN1Uwb9
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvBK015Tw3
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHFPaucxZ9
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!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNgsZnAJ8R
Don't you have a crush? she asked135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DiDne7cG6
That's a hassle. I revoke.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3beTqxW7xE
Liar, liar! She accused.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdscBRUY9i
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. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD0mZa4RZ0
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0TQqSGP8M
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHRJb3pie1
Unfair.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF1eQYPQuj
Unfair.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nN9SBfmx3
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOJYqpnn6W
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKeQcoCVvA
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?
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtTnyXVeay
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbx76UnaPN
Yey!! Spill it out!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUCwgANJUe
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m155HgVzO
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqZos8RAag
Really? I asked135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFMgKjREDC
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzXjbIsrYu
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoKskRPbps
Hahah! My bad.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXRnZZQbsG
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2tyQZHyDs
;P135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaNXSJUQXN
Let's call her Pen instead.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTPKls1nZ2
Roger!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx1L7G0URX
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXFhfHUWAL
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApzMtoW6HW
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWjuXrgvEB
How rude! I even started to open up.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRy53NmzFo
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbftvKnxap8
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi59WvirK0
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjzgdyNw2I
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRkc3W9LTo
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzNCoAuxLx
That's out of my persona.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD6GVE0BcG
You're just a wuss. She insulted.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BQlbHftJb
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ9mTZtiO7
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZdgGqR8OD
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkMgiqpssV
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5NznmuGCU
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzWReGv1XI
Really?135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF3kdX8Lvo
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjDPygLf9a
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBGQ93qORR
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8PNORt9hT
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7pFZRpOfT
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGZCMUJ64n
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbtvvTNrVT
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPj5ykX2wM
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI066Hm3Z2m
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiEnVcaJ5A
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8cgWc1mjm
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. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSEv99oh1l
"Is this yours?" I asked.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4IZ9hw1WK
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrvNX5C3gJ
"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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzjyMA5rCX
Chalk? 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDOVi0WCxw
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3smsOQnR7
Chalk? I wrote again. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGwW45Pe4p
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?
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXmKmXhDrY
Chalk?
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuh5VB3U5O
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmqQOJkFKA
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uJHhAeMa1
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCbKksf4oP
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctU1I8naL5
Yes, I hope so too! I replied135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng3YhcDHQ3
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSLGTlyV6b
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGqL2CIsb7
Thanks, Chalk. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAEP1atw6r
For what?135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGVSitg0ol
For encouraging and pushing me.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGEhZyPXF8
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 wrote135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb3XGlAPnV
You're weird. I teased.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSoAkPXxKO
Not as weird as you! she fought.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhttC0i6bng
What? I rebelled.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYCXM0lSyr
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LmEFHMfdL
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfsVfPu0km
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotQARRqlH2
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJDgjaiHgE
You suck at drawing, Dusty.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6VDWb2KKR
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yjzr7zPP0
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ03ICHlmkn
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKdOCaP56e
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?135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbgB9lMxA7
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswQ9qDZs8w
"Hey," she called.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYrbF0FgUM
"Yes?" I replied subtly.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEFguryrSG
"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!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1ClHXJ5et
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTOPF919hq
"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!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyTwJOgDtK
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr3AkwHxw7
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK3QoPPDYU
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbgg8MVEQ9
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!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLsJXQY88S
Later in the afternoon
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRj6ynbX3L
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWKeo8D0WA
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNreqYOHwo
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyHJ0giJni
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTkJfEZuNq
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PyhoVrOYN
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF60nKs1KE
Wow! taking the lead? 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KxNkMAEl2
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD8vcqoqW0
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4pbxjjGxz
Don't you dare!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZHJyysiev
I was just joking!
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZm2rVexQz
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxxDs3b0fp
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxF6CNv8Rq
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsjUy2PTh3
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDzsAS1J9U
I am glad.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOpCEUkcXd
I am too.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg2nisNUNa
I guess time's up?135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntKEh3Y6t4
I guess so.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVZacChapP
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mM1MiTA1E
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD46GuZE5cP
"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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5gY2bV45G
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReW6CmWXMP
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTyrin57Hh
Yes. she agreed.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNZeXVxPDe
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyCb31LpVT
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqgZoz3WND
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv4rEDpHx9
Oh really?135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmxHBD2eXC
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli5hpCTlD3
She seems drawing something on the board.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8WsZ1F64z
What's that? I asked.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBiDBqRosa
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOiQbMVbFo
You really suck at drawing. I teased.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGEIYfIpfz
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pdf2i9ZR1
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKvXwcaV67
You can't even see me. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0ZSCUDccd
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcProE5myX
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDcHNZA3Jv
I hope so too. See you Chalk!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYa8NdFd1v
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcNV0JwbC1

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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirXUSGr1oP
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq59XpTw68N
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkuVKNTyAf
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhnDjg8p9P
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyoay3TMmI
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiwZ2yV7Zq
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!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKTcOMxxtn
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUWOVWlFba
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif3MH0vwZE
Then we really are a comrade. she added.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tNoz12AyH
How come? I asked.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fMjza1UqB
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnRoVixY9Q
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBKM1miVtK
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvYoOtyLxw
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. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapzUnBWhzv
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVJUMUF0I9
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OtIAPopeu
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc6kVOB6MH
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcvA6lQ3Gh
Really? How so? I inquired.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3QcYnso2H
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzMbBFVpty
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxGPZ1el6n
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7DEH3jSYN
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHZOHzgpi5
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx0sYd3yhV
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjxLUXqtgA
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhid8eNXq3p
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB57GQ3StV
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2lON5pyfV
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.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYToAuQ44F
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. 135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMmf9k3kOa
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.
