Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpmggjzJFh
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR96tDboco
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yl6W0loU5
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbykqwv9Dp
May I know your name? I wrote.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrzs5hnHAE
(Scribbles) What?69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgK2903348
What's that? I responded.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJGEejuxzc
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1McvMLVHmn
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdirNHR1qN
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycWHxW5O1K
Just as I thought.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P5lQ7MHjL
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMQdApo4Il
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBLU1ZNXHg
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P8JNkqmj5
Yes, Ghandi. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmLUBXHNrk
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnfhiT4c3e
Maybe that's it? She agreed.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8M1jS9uND
Chalk. I wrote69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VbWd0IpOL
Chalk? 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEFV9Acxij
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPPky856Vz
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTgcXxZOq8
That's seems childish. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RBjGqUAy5
No, it's cute.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTctzF71F0
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkKTvWeWl5
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wVFVrEwgq
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRuCLCmFr9
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPrX2PVomN
Good for you. I responded.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUDWvcW5ag
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpEMowqpUP
I hope so too! I replied.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BzQker3qJ
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FVJdfYloW
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8vw1WBBA6
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!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgylyzrsaA
Don't you have a crush? she asked69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReK1lHEZrm
That's a hassle. I revoke.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qWluZBZy6
Liar, liar! She accused.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMqbZNcCyv
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. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs2RP4eR7o
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeJLQJ6jd0
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9OaF9HvKB
Unfair.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuCBMUzR0T
Unfair.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00SR1Jx7X2
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRlrk5n0an
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2VVmh77vr
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?
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmFhFTVwUV
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeokNDvylmi
Yey!! Spill it out!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6muAyAlfu
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaehOP3Mxt
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85aLQxzyJT
Really? I asked69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE5zbKoliJ
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoECZKcB8u
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9cUF9VEzp
Hahah! My bad.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc76oWVtlfR
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFrwEkKHzt
;P69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGm1VDuCzE
Let's call her Pen instead.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRslmfdoQcQ
Roger!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH5CjYjmJZ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOkve0FaLR
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBiOwKQYRX
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GokrCV7Um
How rude! I even started to open up.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPnFa62zEK
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJSNW1b5dl
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzhWlY6hXw
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Db4eSyn4d
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU8go7Kt6V
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5wFPxJplZ
That's out of my persona.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcShCX8Xymm
You're just a wuss. She insulted.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy7Bqmw499
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTptWsWxKkq
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt0zZ4ev3n
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoLtB1pnJs
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GgQuEIo93
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW28L3KSwXb
Really?69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95d3LFHBlM
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbzQfYJzPQ
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV610sRoh0
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa29N8Tje9
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa85WcKU4xc
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK9JcMKNfa
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88V5NuwNIF
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5JlkKiSQk
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3S1qtpuK0
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA4nsXOgcW
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz0JxzYIyU
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. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbNEgidslE
"Is this yours?" I asked.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkYbFdbZVP
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcBVwCfSqW
"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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp5MjcVbE6
Chalk? 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0I6gNsuxF
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwuWRAAqN9
Chalk? I wrote again. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOojf7z6Pv5
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?
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrbPDpmva0
Chalk?
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aaqmhpGMc
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WulL1lLf2
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AgtOZ8lNw
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuJX7C3pTY
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbDZww6znp
Yes, I hope so too! I replied69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlnerpZ1Yc
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB8mYrKyS6
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaovrri0NL
Thanks, Chalk. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD94ngBahR8
For what?69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BomuUl3oa
For encouraging and pushing me.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC16A1iAqlG
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 wrote69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EXNpZ73Ev
You're weird. I teased.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ7cE8ywSL
Not as weird as you! she fought.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqUELK12Ik
What? I rebelled.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt7Oy72CId
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2xZOYSCHG
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mWW6faKqp
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNkVzl7cIr
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuqNRks4Ef
You suck at drawing, Dusty.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9gNSHGin8
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ZGEMAo8b
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0q216dIKF
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmpCvPlpqh
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?69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImF340IA13
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJQd3r8m7b
"Hey," she called.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFDdufyS5B
"Yes?" I replied subtly.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY4yQ2mu3z
"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!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvAmRlbLVd
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ScNT5aLDO
"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!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit0kMHtAQD
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKccqwECbIj
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEgBr946op
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxTy9Cecm2
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!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqwQafWn78
Later in the afternoon
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpuW6B0qSN
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlYtf3uVOE
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHuls4SnYP
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11pgrQFrwc
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTSPvHDe5T
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGYd2FFHjt
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeygT2z8MJS
Wow! taking the lead? 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWTd4Pz5sg
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L1Sj7AfHj
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUes4rEF2t
Don't you dare!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEixWtI1Mc
I was just joking!
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqKWLm7Z7S
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ8gOlBEMm
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8go74AEJ5
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGltwZmC0sV
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6y5cz7RpX
I am glad.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1LYtDBRf4
I am too.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkfFt2AkQT
I guess time's up?69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLSNEZVPLX
I guess so.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYgTcJzvFt
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwpYfXLFgV
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K9uiuuIug
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4i268GVeq
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlMGjBVZzc
I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6UHflIL0p
Yes. she agreed.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqCa983HpM
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again. I added.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSHsqwbnRf
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfpWTKn99R
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hgw6OwhlS
Oh really?69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzybCFHaXex
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me! I wrote.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBq9tIlG5d
She seems drawing something on the board.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0kb8yDfKE
What's that? I asked.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7AlLveGQ2
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUXqXEJ66w
You really suck at drawing. I teased.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1WYMNCatb
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwwszCPDRi
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbyasjXX1x
You can't even see me. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUd6WQKrmr
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M19TQfLeo
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time. she finally agreed.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcblC1N2WkV
I hope so too. See you Chalk!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQueLBZlID
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgsqy736lH

69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjQ7mndXPx
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOo2WuzVML
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu2IjnbIlT
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jza56Yzdi
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Fbbh5INX
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVV2RGob4A
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiufPjEboW0
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!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60K2uh3pgp
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiFdzd2e0M
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmGt2lYHrm
Then we really are a comrade. she added.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jBCS1SvIO
How come? I asked.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjBjO8bSA7
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTZEoKHnlQ
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqb94efOou
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfvIf6bjLq
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. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVFM18jpNy
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue21WdytNZ
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xu6VFcy4m
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRQwporo4X
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ2uYq1WKn
Really? How so? I inquired.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fGofa5TsA
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDB835naQA
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzpBGZguQx
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlthdp5gYLQ
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNzCanWWKv
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqasEfgJnyM
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVDMqDVIbG
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBVFToRhEy
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQv7NPfYLP
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnlSgZT2QV
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.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubT33I6XT8
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. 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE0xfZzxy9
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.
