‘Unanswered Love’ by Elizabeth Adesanoye, Age 12 Years

As our ship swiftly sails into the harbour a smile creeps onto my face. I hear the captain calling my fellow sea mates, until my name I hop, jump and skip my way up to him. He had me and a small tiffanies’ box and before I could reply he dismissed me; I’m forced to contain my happiness from the world.
I venture out to complete my mission, along the harbour. Soon I noticed that there is no hope for me here. I decide to scavenge the late night, knowing that I’ll probably find her there. Once I reach my destination I pick up the courage to open the door and find myself slamming the door. I suck up the emotion from my face, turn around and head out of the car park. Before I know it I realise someone is following me; watching my every step. I’m picking up my pace little by little until I find myself sprinting as fast as I can until…..
I feel a sweaty hand grab my shoulder. Before I could stop myself I pull out the tiffanies’ box I say the words I’ve been practising since I set my eyes on her.
Her answer will always be a mystery to me…..
