When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi0zoPkZwJ
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPSDwtjd9P
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvittE17B1
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCyYOQ6RLv
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmiYFb3bQJ
I couldn't believe it. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFJ1G7XGm0
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tUdqE8PEl
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5njUSV1tH
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ4ni1pzY3
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZXFhIm84K
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpivCqJXljQ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJeqRIGoLT
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX2GOTReb5
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8gS2VyG2F
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9C3TgpAnJ
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBEIpuAwJ2
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbJ84bHQ02
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ezj7oGJew
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD5zqhu3zi
And I tried my best not to cry.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI78TEllVe
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhwTaxetqt

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!
