When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZY6iFzltY
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw73YQI9F8
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7bFGpWL5a
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOJagt5IZt
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IdqKgwAYM
I couldn't believe it. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmBDxonfZn
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMAWlAakQ2
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. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufuDAi5NTf
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8KkZK0kwx
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQNMGn7eXy
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDDkictX5V
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJHH8WzRP3
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiM9tLBKMG
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVKAISjIRs
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCWe0v64Sk
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c4VZyr0Df
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sKsbkEeL0
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GI6ISGCBX
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvVz5XknOd
And I tried my best not to cry.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR7DAJ8Sqw
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz7eYbO8G1

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!
