When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlNXtbXcqo
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCJcOeYbFC
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGtT5W2Yqv
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkjFBskWZL
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUrq8rN4fa
I couldn't believe it. 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1q1wPUBFm
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvFSASqioP
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. 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklqBt7CZn8
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dpdEIx2oQ
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.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNiquDuxB8
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkbGmlCgEB
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CjCZedtoR
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2NqK5aU7C
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqlWs5oEDo
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbXFSbTZdq
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj94NbehMo
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPoQr6xSE8
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF7XV6FS8R
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEuGZWl1X1
And I tried my best not to cry.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSkC0pDe6S
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr1om15nG4

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!
