When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwtkwBI5v3
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ51OJhMTm
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7FcdX7YTf
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7OJa289JR
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPUEf0xDxF
I couldn't believe it. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYMHZAhRzL
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4YJIbnYpc
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzlSBONrIB
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmJeIYcxIQ
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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStj4PRZCo1
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MmciCFZAo
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpho1jl4cF7
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutM556MgGM
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhzOophQdT
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf6OhtJNPl
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6nNGn6mx9
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLWnhLUXkO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcyE3uX9qY
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MaSZOArbk
And I tried my best not to cry.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB2osOPJmM
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG9JsESfCC

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!
