I'm tired.

I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuwnGhnHMj
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA5zO2vOat
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ7wLWPdVS
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB0ClSigVo
May I know your name? I wrote.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd96n3Qbj2
(Scribbles) What?152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jcNzOgQ4E
What's that? I responded.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrq98mn85e
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BBt3vh4bR
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxMmukkJnm
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lzsv32wUS
Just as I thought.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwqVKocHzC
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjszHibMLJt
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm2vm8KaNL
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NNc84tVLw
Yes, Ghandi. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUavkxZpo82
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvCFRSzxQT
Maybe that's it? She agreed.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlsmHQp4ju
Chalk. I wrote152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3AzjldwnY
Chalk? 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRiCzCNoZ6
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ZP9I7LX6
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsYW5dfveo
That's seems childish. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OhKBheAJk
No, it's cute.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeABjgeUcPM
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTz17xTjQw
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhlv3bXPwj
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRZB2SrsnF
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSic1DePoYq
Good for you. I responded.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR6dSH3q9H
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK6kBtWlq6
I hope so too! I replied.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkntA1pE1p
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaajdz0R1ph
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaUflotG5v
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!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw4CIuPteC
Don't you have a crush? she asked152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV53CPFuDAL
That's a hassle. I revoke.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluURXU2H68
Liar, liar! She accused.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OXC0q8rcd
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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4TpLaLGIN
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr7bpv2BhI
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSXazppD8E
Unfair.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ftqyPbzf
Unfair.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Maqp3rsWZ
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf9UPW6Hqg
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm0hmvNqn0
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?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqVOkaobHh
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Jcy7Xm7g
Yey!! Spill it out!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnrbvNPtmg
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzoOgUuWyA
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgp2OWCtdc
Really? I asked152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06KFnJ87rP
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU2g13GNNP
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2ZnNz7zVz
Hahah! My bad.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp6NvzIpwb
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy2f9ow1My
;P152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmNio4ZNqT
Let's call her Pen instead.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK175FhdXt
Roger!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BNjYofyYE
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhos7xGv9D
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDI92BVumU
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqhK6tmZPA
How rude! I even started to open up.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjV3b0pxf3
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAxz6zOint
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGHnhq1n1h
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7oadRtJbq
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v2zoUXepG
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpshUlDBOWx
That's out of my persona.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxsioqb5i2
You're just a wuss. She insulted.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1KX13LCcA
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13dGSRmoAL
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbCbsw9nw4
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1XtDfB96b
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoq8THpXjI
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBHY4XX0xY
Really?152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus5cshOFHc
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jCcO0SpEO
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hq7apttzf
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wJBhA2WYX
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm9gErplTl
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlhV2zz7bU
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtytTnZY99
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0y2GPoKOU
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vx6A1aWX0
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY91xNkBDS
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJvrUgkuKB
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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPg9YXu0J6
"Is this yours?" I asked.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1t9nLjGVg
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx06egZFGdk
"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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4wC9fbnCs
Chalk? 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5KpyQ5A73
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzu1GOTiPd
Chalk? I wrote again. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel5ciuWnj9
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?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFzKdlKTPL
Chalk?
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RokXhXP5Q
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvnncAzdzU
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRfUmXpW6J
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9GMS14vuO
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOBcT1jvq6
Yes, I hope so too! I replied152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVpimqybSs
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0jBm6XDTV
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxofcnhS52B
Thanks, Chalk. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Xk0SQzmD
For what?152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu1dsr3VG8
For encouraging and pushing me.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh1ZYGA81G
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 wrote152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VUN9xDz15
You're weird. I teased.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZntchd0o6
Not as weird as you! she fought.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGwYmfFh3C
What? I rebelled.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0j4SzHyWt
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALHV3v2BeG
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJBIT87Jdx
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H7GPsje1N
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JDNZfJuze
You suck at drawing, Dusty.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB87rE0mBRW
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOVORtRNb8
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmXeECk465
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkdNdkR7bO
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?152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBRvdQnMcg
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN53YduW1E
"Hey," she called.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lqPOjWGY2
"Yes?" I replied subtly.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlwA6JlSJe
"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!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDOEy3I6MR
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBfH83eUm1
"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!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQSMXqOtnV
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9PTMuvrh7
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W7dILOZkU
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo0vHGMpFM
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!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw9Tqn0Ee4
Later in the afternoon
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwps3OfeLv
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx8QPi9kYm
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaESgZdE8i
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYNfSWn4ak
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4CuB1q1VK
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivwMZiOqp7
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJT4q1W9x5
Wow! taking the lead? 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2ZaajqCwd
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1mSsOZbs6
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs57joWb6a3
Don't you dare!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgz7vR4YcR
I was just joking!
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyxUp66Sb6
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOTeFBY480
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIDSkCCH5n
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJYbuGJijh
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc8qETzadt
I am glad.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHYweWf01J
I am too.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv3YGOdMQ3
I guess time's up?152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh17evPEtRx
I guess so.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfc7jkRjvq
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy00Lq6KfZg
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUeotUWPVJ
"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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJNRSxckLL
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4qIAwdOPF
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfRssV7Yns
Yes. she agreed.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AyA8DOcFV
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJZ9MpHkTt
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u0QtS3HuQ
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaMGC8NwnG
Oh really?152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvH6kQ2XvN
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsLvA9Xn3G
She seems drawing something on the board.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Zt9YBJwk
What's that? I asked.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLSXIr7WM8
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz54YXrcgl
You really suck at drawing. I teased.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Ctg4v57e
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoYEJjJOko
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJthR8xTgX9
You can't even see me. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwDORMLWlg
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L3zMv4AI5
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SJXHELrIa
I hope so too. See you Chalk!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU4pPXU2OP
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSIkfehNpx

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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6z5BpeZTV
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLjF91aPRi
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUD2I02kPA
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHdNKql5of
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZUXHQOOn1
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5Di73SHwY
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!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlO3pLohJ4
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYi9GuSCTR
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoObS3gSMvr
Then we really are a comrade. she added.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JXa4BNcDk
How come? I asked.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo8QjDjKkl
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHot91cPzlA
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZMDnU8OFJ
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qRgJCvNuV
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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oakutu1oA
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTVCAU89Qj
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYt4u3KiOq
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWMxGkCkLG
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwJEoGtzNV
Really? How so? I inquired.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwViIh0OFo
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56q07OMyWA
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHR6d95KCE
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxxOA7Cgf2
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6lEW8RIPW
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj45OUish3b
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffX5fIGgEm
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxuzFs1rXt
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7nPZoRe0V
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOTUMycAuV
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu374HvCqA
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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhGUIy07cE
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.
