Dear Captain

I've been writing this story for quite a while actually, I've just kind of been holding off putting it up... I don't know why, I just sort of guessed that it was a bit too cliche, overdone. Not a fanfiction, even though I considered it for a bit, because the characterization really wouldn't fit...

Alright, here goes nothing.


1. Just Me

Dear Captain,

Look, I know I've been bitter, especially, though more than likely unnoticed, towards you. But I'm sure you've wondered about little ol' me, that girl entertaining the demons prancing about her mind as while she pondered the meaning of life, right? That girl whose sarcasm was so thick it could be cut with a knife, whose smile so faint you could hardly even call it such? That girl who seemed so lonely, sitting in the dark of the computer class in the far right corner whose eyes were never really even seen? You know, me? If you don't, I really can't say I blame you, and I can't say I didn't expect it. But that doesn't mean I can allow myself to respect you.

Even though I'll always love you.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Too far ahead. Even though those bright blue eyes of yours will never skim this paper and grow cloudy with disapproval. Even though I will never be able to gather what scant courage I have and give this to you with a trembling hand and a reddened face. Even though I may just remain faceless, granted nameless, to you.

I wonder if you remember the first time we spoke. I doubt you'd call to mind just another dreary Monday, the second one of the new school year when you met a rather mousy, dark haired student.

But I do.

Obviously, that isn't the entire thing, this was just a sort of test-run. Just to check the waters and see if I should put all of it up. Critique is beyond welcomed, it's invited, so if you see some screw-ups, you know where to find me.
