When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt3HZ0Jclc
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKCmB2RvOz
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8BBHy9Mot
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B29A4PFmR
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT2kk5yDYS
I couldn't believe it. 249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgAnf4blJ6
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbO2fh7MrR
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. 249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknDZAr1rBb
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfQJBOFHGS
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.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSsGJzwU0H
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRMb9YwzRm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6QXggCYcI
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiscSqYIqX9
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zk5W70m45
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwtbSQzVBD
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehJXixPD8q
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIAXjghaG2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKqobGSgHZ
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOqn6l3eeE
And I tried my best not to cry.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbexj5uMMw
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hy1Mm8jmX

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!
