I'm tired.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHDGn37qhl
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjJnw2IdOI
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR69ct7ImHE
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwUoHdyx8z
May I know your name? I wrote.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh0AQG1WSM
(Scribbles) What?239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8rzEp3fFn
What's that? I responded.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunB4QxMJkA
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQQlM7zu8K
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSxZhe0R4i
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqMCbxjIFZ
Just as I thought.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZBfRJ6tRD
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh37fUFE81
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakTMpKBGwm
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgP2v56rfq
Yes, Ghandi. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Ry3t3zMX
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtd6bGQyAt
Maybe that's it? She agreed.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1vCByt95K
Chalk. I wrote239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz9RbHB8jh
Chalk? 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5U3rpGlU3
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurL9zYxREP
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xk4rekAO4
That's seems childish. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLFlFdAgXE
No, it's cute.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgBmcjCtAW
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bAKM5mGHn
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPb2qrABdH
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukUmYZNRQ0
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJca2MwZVF2
Good for you. I responded.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrX4cCpW0n
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjgwyATkqX
I hope so too! I replied.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW4JwRq8f1
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVhTaALvac
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ1GWKAh2T
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!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TjpVSJYmU
Don't you have a crush? she asked239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiY96zOqKz
That's a hassle. I revoke.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAIq1IFUYT
Liar, liar! She accused.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiyYcxdsyJ
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. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLiLxJLHW7
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVkqnbx2F5
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYAN91SZtU
Unfair.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IZKrTw53i
Unfair.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgrXEXf8My
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O7IW6tDs0
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYBCuqcxfX
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?
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mpWeJX47h
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYfkveOJin
Yey!! Spill it out!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHMbnLhEWz
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2L5brfaDK
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1vTLcX0h1
Really? I asked239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZySmEJJz0q
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik7oKRdBNe
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCQqSGXEwn
Hahah! My bad.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklwQEiO7jM
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS49oS2Dxo
;P239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHarHiQ776c
Let's call her Pen instead.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv1p2FYOyU
Roger!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TmipO0v4Y
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkRUDJxCMn
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnIW0kHHx9
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qpUEhU6gr
How rude! I even started to open up.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuVeYbKDRE
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLLPc7NTLV
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRoEP1NKgk
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb56YbfStNb
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc39IL4HjTC
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVLhfk1QH
That's out of my persona.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTXRAJl3P6
You're just a wuss. She insulted.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx1F67Oxda
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4UqcEng22
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYYsT2RozY
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLWN73tGth
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB3uBBQDrk
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOCPIvU7WL
Really?239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzEjCWoBhH
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0NUmLdyQg
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1F9032rfp
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhGIBEUUCE
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BDtpuAzv6
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H5DjVpv1f
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0fFAjK4vA
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrfJU6XdKX
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U9VLRDiFq
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3G0dtteTw
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrlj2FVml8
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. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt10F3h3bI
"Is this yours?" I asked.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhbyGods54
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKj2S78ITc
"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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6HetKoDGq
Chalk? 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dzFI2Ogdq
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5iRxQnTzY
Chalk? I wrote again. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr43Dbmu5Zp
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?
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKr03M3i80
Chalk?
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKldzKFEcLt
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjInJz5rmn
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ39LDI1Uo
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs4ExkBn10
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8UI2IuI8W
Yes, I hope so too! I replied239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lgaKT4h7v
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoDN6cD4lt
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHBotSLDqj
Thanks, Chalk. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQdoqwgien
For what?239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlbfn6y6l7
For encouraging and pushing me.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wu2EkcvDS
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 wrote239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpte4cSMEX
You're weird. I teased.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlXE1A6GlT
Not as weird as you! she fought.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGZaZ5wQyx
What? I rebelled.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpgr6T4b65
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKzxS8EJQS
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOUo0481ZV
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVSN3vVq0G
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK0qctiz55
You suck at drawing, Dusty.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PpSdTYb8C
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZjaui9of5
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiWeZDCtwc
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbQsheE9Sv
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?239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWjmYiW62
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHGNE4yQyr
"Hey," she called.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelInLOfU6V
"Yes?" I replied subtly.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxOUWgS3QI
"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!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzAXw76a7F
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEXQNLfYbV
"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!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOHqJLr3Fy
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXgosrWlfx
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4uoOlzbid
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vzgPm4Ior
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!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOKVszk74g
Later in the afternoon
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX373ksoP6
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUZIWP81Av
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1MX2E0wfu
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zThkamIwA
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GWWYysnnQ
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfl0g4qC7l
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7zaVmdV4O
Wow! taking the lead? 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnFsM2MbkP
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOQ7Tc5JY2
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct7NT6p193
Don't you dare!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt5Y3BdklS
I was just joking!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1yjv07zee
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUWai34vR0
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCn6pHJHDZ
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnbkJW8URu
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXJFlnagF5
I am glad.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2mOh8ZGU0
I am too.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcNojg5PXU
I guess time's up?239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAIP0qhkqq
I guess so.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIvSUJl1z2
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sbUxXy5c1
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVRmYGr0eb
"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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaSRYiXPG3
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN3TlTwZEM
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkAybXogbo
Yes. she agreed.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NCrUSeMta
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWLpuRgS63
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FZDJJXTrM
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2xEOYOwcc
Oh really?239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm0hK4yBn6
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO9gQ0Myac
She seems drawing something on the board.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Chd29Dvc
What's that? I asked.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IakOyeR34
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L5VA22fh1
You really suck at drawing. I teased.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV3YazVEj5
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheHsw2hbFE
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEg0LtgO0d
You can't even see me. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXfmxuNKjg
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxvkE4t8Xb
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugfc43CfF5
I hope so too. See you Chalk!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46FzqOvPpY
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfseF8XjmV

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHiIvKoLRU
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIQQVrD1mo
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfjIE8yyxw
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgiYDuC7HB
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hIDM1Bz22
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53bNwaQLFU
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqRtyYWF8l
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5iCbjvRa0
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!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tsS9R68xE
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJudrjR6R7s
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcLS6vPwPI
Then we really are a comrade. she added.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8knNVShUv
How come? I asked.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXObWJONVA
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzqiihSaKH
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkfjn1nn1K
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmDQP7eWxQ
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. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP36gRTCZJZ
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiloqUOMoD
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPVkRU5wy6
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjnARMVyG5
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5HKkI0KQK
Really? How so? I inquired.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhfcPm2maP
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X3YGCqoQy
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO605FOh4Q
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeP8RCtm9n
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn9QZuX5kA
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yQJYdsbba
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4MsFqQc6h
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKmGbigjGk
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjy1Cczjtu
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jc7mdPo17
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU2DLd21zI
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. 239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZUgMrKkMy
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.
