Songbird - My Song shall be written

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjQiZtFv77
I'm tired.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiEQJWVDOI
I wrote.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk90PlNyWg
I'm tired too.

Words were magically written on the chalkboard without anyone writing.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6ho0gjpjA
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFNDIqEvCy
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR6eMyccvv
I'm writing to someone living in a familiar yet completely different world. It's very astonishing. I tried to asked her name once.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnife4iOCu6
May I know your name? I wrote.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlgaC60ufN
(Scribbles) What?163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxZ578RBOG
What's that? I responded.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV0ZHesygV
That's rude. She replied. Wait a minute.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YxsQrUzaN
(Scribbles) I wrote my name.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kv4vSTd9T
What's that? We're drawing something? I can only see scribbles. She jokingly written.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMq1TUEbEV
Just as I thought.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O3ovmEFPk
I can't read your name. And it seems that I can't read yours too. I explained.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8TRF6avkR
Seriously? How come? Taylor Swift. Can you read that? 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7PKhJt3Eh
Yes, I can. Ghandi. I wrote.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtPske6jwx
Yes, Ghandi. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipuKhcrbr2
It seems that we can only write icons and famous person's name? Maybe because it is common to both our world? I speculated.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHZctmJbW5
Maybe that's it? She agreed.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wv74uAKE1
Chalk. I wrote163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1zP9Lo6JE
Chalk? 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoxEMx5IjP
That's what I am calling you. I suggested.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBsywrOQpH
Dust, then, she responded. You will be Dusty.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsGhYWhqXl
That's seems childish. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomX4ceJbTO
No, it's cute.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2behEqC9p
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufJQRuCP5G
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDZHKAN483
Our eyes met earlier. she wrote. She's talking about her crush again.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOVF1ZplIw
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIfJPbVCGr
Good for you. I responded.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EpSvLDtIf
This could start my rosy youth! She exclaimed.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX93KlYHw2
I hope so too! I replied.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9c68ejkt4
Let me guess, nothing happened earlier today? She said.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7SG0pqpyW
Nothing much. I replied. Normal as always. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLFU5D1BV8
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!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHkfnR4N3n
Don't you have a crush? she asked163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KieYbRns9
That's a hassle. I revoke.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtjSW8bLOR
Liar, liar! She accused.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Xy4twOym
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. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tO9K0iUaU
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNPWe98ry4
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiiShahsYm

Unfair.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYvEnrQrju
Unfair.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc7eLU1snY

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3alhzcdTZC
Unfair. She wrote in series. I surprised you wrote so fast.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzwNJKPu5v
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?

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ7iOmQ2Rr
Okey, okey, quit the machine gun. I declared163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6L59DFKa6
Yey!! Spill it out!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOHhqSzikC
I have someone I like. She's (Scribbles) . I started.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpcm2YTiyC
Uhmm, I see scribbles here.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaejq4A9CQ
Really? I asked163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZENmm49Z0
Let's call her blackboard, since I'm chalk and your dust. She wrote.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb8BQfULFu
Too long, and how dare you call her that! I protested.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZvTHeODKV
Hahah! My bad.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kIJ8GJgfH
It's okey. You just have terrible naming sense. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpfGWRUzWz
;P163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo188dc13p
Let's call her Pen instead.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbd6AyrFJd
Roger!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Li2HgBNS
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9dv64LOGz
So, Pen here, she gorgeous and -- 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Qm3q3UgG
Hold up! I am not reading that. She interrupted my writing.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxJezqqCzI
How rude! I even started to open up.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsnpdZp9Tq
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwGIM5RtZs
Ohh, okey. I met her last opening, she's in a class next door, and we never talked. I wrote163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpEIWeTXnQ
What? Seriously? she wrote with disbelief.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpS9dsCioc
Yep, what's wrong with that? I asked.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWcEjKmf1U
Everything! Why didn't you even try to talk to her?163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd2FgFOXzQ
That's out of my persona.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy15t2R1hl
You're just a wuss. She insulted.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqVBsNpHu2
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLIN0lW5En
You're such a sad boy. You should go talk to her. she suggested.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEE3d73fZn
That's impossible, and even not on the list for consideration. I replied.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGRettbqVc
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchXqZJJB4f
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5zJRR0iaF
Really?163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLorEUpWaZA
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rd1ac31j8
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE0kNRyEoY
Go for it! For our future rose-colored youth! she wrote with enthusiasm163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmmwiRbkOZ
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0zUgrp3jq
That's what I thought. As we approach the winter times, days are getting shorter. I added.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArt0q3bGtU
Yes, so you have to make sure to have a good day, so I could read your stories. she declared.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ3GR8BwPn
How's that even possible? We'll never have much time right? I asked.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7WKcCt5LA
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgvXO42SjP

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq25YQtMsDv
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVJLWI0C1i
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. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL6tcNAAcM
"Is this yours?" I asked.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLO9Y7JP22
"Oh, yes, that's rights. Thank you so much." she expressed her gratitude with her angelic soft voice.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS5gv8p2LA
"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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENl6fS93f1
Chalk? 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA6DPnN8vE
Is she around today or is she home? Is she sick?163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmU9jgF5Uz
Chalk? I wrote again. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9a4yefgsi
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?

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNFp9oOo0j
Chalk?

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YXHFTNbCI
I told you so! I reply finally was written and it made me jumped in joy.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinJXZxH9Ru
Sorry, your message is too long to read. It took me ages. she complained.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSpnyD9YZV
Sorry for being happy! I wrote with excitement.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhGfai4ula
Good for you Dusty! I'm also happy! You'll finally start your rose-colored youth today! she added.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxvoZR9vLT
Yes, I hope so too! I replied163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgSYApoaSY
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7b34ZXxbD
May our ships sail Dusty! Congrats to us! she wrote while drawing a mug clicking.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUuqOPKoqr
Thanks, Chalk. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQdn2TWXkk
For what?163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjJp4lbqK3
For encouraging and pushing me.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgSYmbQfgH
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 wrote163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex4IpdoDSK
You're weird. I teased.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TmCg9ZJMe
Not as weird as you! she fought.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruJSpz9cae
What? I rebelled.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJbMvGLIRh
Yeah, and as much as I want to enumerate the reasons, but we don't have much time. she declared.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IzgGpW60C
Yeah! Because you read too slow, we ran out. I protested163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVp7Llx9I0
My bad, okey? Have a juice as an apology. she wrote and drew a juice box.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKjg3U7iB2
I'll take that. I answered while drawing a straw with a mouth on the juice box.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIH2CTyeF4
You suck at drawing, Dusty.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjDQkSfGfb
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4o18DRGIw
"See you tomorrow." I uttered.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEOF4kgq9G
Tomorrow came even faster than expected. It feels so good to wake up, knowing I may have another chance to talk to her.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCEiCCocUu
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?163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaU8wtN2yM
I intended to pass by them, and as soon as I am in front of her, she called me out.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVOw16DcIF
"Hey," she called.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuRPL6Uv0G
"Yes?" I replied subtly.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrdwyH4gF5
"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!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEyVteTsUI
"No worries, my pleasure, good morning." still, I uttered awkward replies. What is wrong with me!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6hIgG4H1d
"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!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVR9z5atl2
"Ahh, yes. I am Echo. Nice to meet you." I answered.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyGENiTvA3
"Nice to meeting you too, Echo. See you around." She replied while patting her skirt signaling for them to go inside their room.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXLUKUmQU9
"Yes, see you around." I hurriedly replied.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1TPuJisoL
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!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDvNr8X8sY
Later in the afternoon

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFre1DGLl1
Chalk! We've talked again today! I greeted.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucETcpfDZl
That's great news, Dusty! she replied.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9gtnZC3Vb
She's the one who called me first. She's so talkative. Ahh, she's so dreamy!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohi13q4jq3
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AAQUxFxff
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZNlOy80Yy
If tomorrow, it's still 5 seconds, I'll be the one who'll approach him. she declared163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm7hFwGmBz
Wow! taking the lead? 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTPcFHbk3f
I just got tired of waiting. Whoa, I guess she's restless.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fERHzUCOQ
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQPRKq0oBG
Don't you dare!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfR8JLs9OV
I was just joking!

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30xGrxiPSi
It's really fun writing like this. We're like penpals. she wrote.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDo3Cf4OS3
Yeah, kinda outdated but that seems the case. I added163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z7s8Bu2EH
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG7krmRcHG
Yeah, and that may be the reason why. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyryTz58VxY
I am glad.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAHVAhVm48
I am too.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE26AX0FgmN
I guess time's up?163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Szd5q0Ow6
I guess so.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOm0RwL70p
The afternoon's getting shorter, eh?163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB8zbUr8pK
Yeah especially when we're enjoying like ---. The text cut off. The time has ended and shadows covered the board.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNduYNAwQDf
"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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OkJOQL44F
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsCRYdHQ4q

I guess this will be the last day before the vacation. I wrote.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrEBtm97lG
Yes. she agreed.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtajrWadmX6
Then we'll wait for two weeks to be able to write again.  I added.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5bxq1B5rw
Yes, and please don't forget to invite your pen to a Christmas date. she suggested.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbqcPeZxp8
I sure will! We've gotten much closer now. And I feel like I have a chance. I boldly wrote.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kQWuT714s
Oh really?163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPwLxCUHm2
Yes! I'll confess this Christmas, during our date. Please pray for me!  I wrote.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY9pL0djal
She seems drawing something on the board.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYRtzlGTCE
What's that? I asked.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v5zEtsTda
That's my hand, lines are the blessing, you and Pen. She wrote while labeling the figures she drew.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2w1sHhmbs
You really suck at drawing. I teased.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc3M6phBGa
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllWGKjCbBR
I guess time's up! I'll see you when I see you. I wrote.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRZhsozMGA
You can't even see me. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4N0VjDrAV
My bad. Can't wait to see you write again. I clarified.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsjoVUVgwQ
That's more like it. And I also hope, that when you write, you'll be together by that time.  she finally agreed.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7yquyTpLe
I hope so too. See you Chalk!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCb1Qe8Na7
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0SdUdwr1b

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtv9paZtb6

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUchHCpGikB
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVLSmE7zz7

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRegSa3Na8W

She uttered.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUeisDjtJh

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBXrvdm5X4

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTvLvSEpL4
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfkp4cmbrq
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXBg4BOy27
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fV2ZHCSFq
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlAjcABIJm
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzudA3GZCb
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVIHckCoB0
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!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMpC7pA43x
I was surprised and my heart jumped. I immediately grabbed back the chalk and wrote on the board.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ChOEkFCyl
I messed up. I was turned down. I replied163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmmGBZWGh5
Then we really are a comrade. she added.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfgbr481NV
How come? I asked.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF0TPsEXPP
I also invited Paper out to confirm my feelings and have closure. Confessed, rejected. she stated.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3LIGLmvnW
There goes our rose-colored youth, flushed out XD. I wrote kiddingly.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6wtFFjv22
My guess is, she got turned off from your perfume. Don't wear it anymore. she teased.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4RaIa4Srv
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. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGIxkm4d99
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT7WpMHkb7
I'm glad I could talk to you today. I started.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo0sr1Tbc7
I felt so refreshed. she agreed.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOSHlzujZU
You know, we are like birds. The Kauai. It's something I read about. she added.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhQ8pcHXFM
Really? How so? I inquired.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExkRTEQ8Nq
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbEU8giYE2
That's amazing. I wrote in awe.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyrwkoUnUk
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvrV7W06dV
Yeah, like, literally, dimensions apart. But you're mostly correct. I agreed.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qoZmeJc5x
We also only got specific time and placing to connect. Which makes it special. Ain't that cool? she wrote with amazement.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCnPRVsrdw
It sure is! I'll also look forward 'duetting' with you until we graduate. I declared163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSc3L8FP5m
You bet, my comrade! she obliged.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v6stC4cWP
Though it's up, I'm happy. See you around Dusty!163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdFGG0VDpH
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULrzb68aZw
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAjNGzbEpf
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. 163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4DcTNFF9V
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXTvp9mbpx

I know it won't.
