When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlW3rCOqG3
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPB0E6Nr0c
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFL0hZtVHl
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMi2J62yAn
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyFfghpHCo
I couldn't believe it. 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK7uIzMxFE
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LsjuVUIzf
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. 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjwGsfJKWE
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6dj8gSsdQ
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcSORIrW9v
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3LuWntTVN
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkngXev6ADh
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoVFoqxL1F
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3dMRIZ7vD
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0twyCL2EU
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tLongb1zC
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPZyEtRu0M
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkHGeNNAIb
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeVI3Jcpuj
And I tried my best not to cry.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr8UbWlGPp
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxsMjRN0xX

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!
