When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcR7dOIfJZ
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhQqzPEWd3
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRTHVkQoTv
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRBBvvrhEP
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtZfGVqYgK
I couldn't believe it. 278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6iT5shg7l
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXQceR9fiO
Maybe we could still be friends?
Best friends even.
And either way, I thought, cheerfully getting into the car, it was still really fun to fence. 278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5liPKly2O
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZKRIi0Oj7
So, we went.
And problem one arised.
We had...misread the time, and gotten there thirty minutes late.
My heart sunk when the Teacher told me I would just have to sit there and watch while everyone else practice, and I forced myself to hold back my tears that were burning.278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ05gB2lfW
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHacpu6jQ4R
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDIhCXU8Sv
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmiQyrWuIk
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzp91tns1V
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseNYHmKjIA
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lkmeb7IHJ
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w1TGkNDwv
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC7YQ516cQ
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogvUAGRBfi
And I tried my best not to cry.278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSE8KWQl7K
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23hWon3poL

I know this story isn't super sad, but most of the time when I'm down it's anxiety, or it's just a bunch of different memories and problems combining together, or I'm just upset and I don't know why.
But, also, this memory leads to one of my happiest memories! (My parents cheering me up) so that's also really nice!
