When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0OsfvJz5a
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi2mZAdwyl
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYHp6upPxc
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdj8RLNS8p
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qJDXoAVHg
I couldn't believe it. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIXYhp9U6r
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPRU3CbQKE
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nacDeE6b0
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vgVyL9SCk
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.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPQv46YoqN
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AtPPNgVZo
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhtgn2DpVE
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyfcs0yuhg
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaxhZYS7Xi
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4weGdoGsDy
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8AQoQdJUT
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwHQ9CRrzT
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy75y8wzNFI
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BLnMEwKeJ
And I tried my best not to cry.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q4VrGnCIa
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdOVYuck6h

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!
