Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkHwViiuec
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZIDxultAr
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfh49v7ZyJ
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91cchi3PNd
May I know your name? I wrote.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoBPKxcUCN
(Scribbles) What?90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CFd0SHRo5
What's that? I responded.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6A2LQ25mi
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseWKhmvzXf
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvP6W8ptIG
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1jPaG2zLX
Just as I thought.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPlH4r5smk
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW2aQ1weJ5
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7Lvu2Kg7g
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG4JOZefpP
Yes, Ghandi. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0H5rMxsGW
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1YJtC87Bt
Maybe that's it? She agreed.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bOQOapgZp
Chalk. I wrote90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxqBpCf13X
Chalk? 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPEdSZpCer
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKbj5ZDT3j
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DpDfVXkFx
That's seems childish. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnHHQwhCYL
No, it's cute.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEytXBxe4B
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQCBMvRxhB
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVorGg1hlIs
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIDx6XRZOP
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tXhvXe548
Good for you. I responded.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l6WhRgp82
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEZqPnkRBy
I hope so too! I replied.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcAK2MrPD1
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa32AZ4yzsY
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n3HbYT7ux
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!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGeWTp7VlB
Don't you have a crush? she asked90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4Hq2Dccgx
That's a hassle. I revoke.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAAMYDeplQ
Liar, liar! She accused.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXAHTCwLrg
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. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXAqapABT6
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eufxmf0tH
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeA3XYKlCd
Unfair.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtSJZpsjPU
Unfair.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFNXiICb5t
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zdWGtycnb
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNitIJYFwld
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?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDJlJRkt6q
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO0WPuVqlE
Yey!! Spill it out!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDuVEt6O9f
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0asQbwCX3
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QBcWyAOQb
Really? I asked90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN8zW18N8i
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMYf3JvZnl
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooAeWiTR05
Hahah! My bad.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM2Ln7yZFi
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ4Cd5GBED
;P90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXZvwD6Cz1
Let's call her Pen instead.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOj0CeSbqo
Roger!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm0mBoaUGt
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIXHrlW8JC
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jNxMgaUpJ
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGMxCgjtyD
How rude! I even started to open up.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxit218Jp2
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ373yWfgR5h
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmeGDd0Mzc
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDcSovgQev
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfU2K6Um8M
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0foG8VcJtV
That's out of my persona.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2yzWJS9Ll
You're just a wuss. She insulted.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcXGlnwrfg
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMeV1HMqlE
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx669laqjw3
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wiTeDplrL
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFJTtfxsGC
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkFPyTfKtq
Really?90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zJwdjj6a8
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfkL9ccy8n
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxgxOxQc07
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6FZbzlfa2
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdkv20SfiN
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWY7aFubo3
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlBJXXXhAu
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHAKxTXc0y
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaVkjGyfGM
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytDv6voxw7
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAqWrSyuk9
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. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6dZEUjYuK
"Is this yours?" I asked.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjeDkYGRJe
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpk5RYjBJQ
"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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xZUDsjyA1
Chalk? 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89x0IlBE93
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cf9JJXNQh
Chalk? I wrote again. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP4nSv7CJJ
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?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS1smXLh86
Chalk?
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzShTEvF1sF
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilztSjGqHc
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFmiEvbGTY
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAkxyhm3GO
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXRLoiR1JU
Yes, I hope so too! I replied90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G31i7K87S
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDsNspRGfP
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMPK9XeNLD
Thanks, Chalk. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpJLMAPTe1
For what?90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSV4iYjhvI
For encouraging and pushing me.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLgAv1Omj6
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 wrote90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNgI10smX6
You're weird. I teased.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Mtvw8JTn
Not as weird as you! she fought.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdBR0wE6Pa
What? I rebelled.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SIn9s4kab
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeJLihvTIk
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMkmvcbwoz
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuNoKj2nxr
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lKyUIMZFA
You suck at drawing, Dusty.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jXZpWFpJJ
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy4m8EUCg8
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaSMho8D5P
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5fJOnikzE
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?90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUxPdWgmgl
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMi1yFgXRD
"Hey," she called.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGKXKK3mTJ
"Yes?" I replied subtly.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahhkD7j4m6
"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!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuO86eC70N
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr7SVOWpmL
"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!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUAQ1fmMHr
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczUyPVDDPU
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r17twC8A5
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYiWe61QR1
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!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXf4rWNoEA
Later in the afternoon
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D8dJ0gbpw
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDjZo5jEdU
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWnD2brQEs
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI91ZSxj42L
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdZZmB0qxX
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUQEnmR5bp
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjkOvWd6QQ
Wow! taking the lead? 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPiFN2gKKT
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTFWMCwQ2B
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcFm8y5zvQ
Don't you dare!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5CAS5LNcv
I was just joking!
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOm9v8oIPX
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkSxgGvP0Q
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXgS68fKfs
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIaWaa57QE
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yLfCEi8YZ
I am glad.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuEgV5p1G2
I am too.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaS4nvgJ3E
I guess time's up?90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ihFOrU6kU
I guess so.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVayQV0G6ws
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIVCQYKwcl
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5mlZLbaVx
"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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnAVBJaCkE
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGptiOkwWTj
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dKKDmgiZQ
Yes. she agreed.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEAK1kCElX
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ6IjZKztS
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86QJ05gBxk
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNKBbxpkD0
Oh really?90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FFVD7hazo
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwScDNlAvl
She seems drawing something on the board.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinTGBofyk3
What's that? I asked.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmfrv0csSJ
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh8GF047MW
You really suck at drawing. I teased.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoFCPxQ0rc
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfOZdTFfKN
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT1cYXiOGn
You can't even see me. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspLLmvmuNx
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH93twTe8Z
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSETCkfSiz
I hope so too. See you Chalk!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDvNesshlY
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBChwSl8WOT

90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0frOTqKr6m
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETAYRE7N4W
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi0e5Cm4tL
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PQJx8e3M3
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AU8Plv76D
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBS2BixNBa
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sWMqrDoBR
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!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceUvapkEQt
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MxdfQgLeD
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAcOxMSMkU
Then we really are a comrade. she added.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbsiPIk3Z7
How come? I asked.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG0Ktdxqxx
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtiz3Iym9x
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo46ltY47v2
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6qhm5Gfnt
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. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mh5zn11O5
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFcSuIPuR9
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeARui8Ztw
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoLcyOCA84
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpgcUbuXKL
Really? How so? I inquired.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKlkdOpwme
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CMW9U3QWE
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEapHx9R1XC
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw4hGrW6F8
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbqlkpYluC
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVN7dbX7Ji
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0faVtWFB9
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xOhAeRpvL
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0LJNOPuY0
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9sb2CuH9q
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSvAvAjWLE
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. 90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKwdBInIMe
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.
