When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTfN6eU6j6
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG4kMMSBK4
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68ja6xmMeZ
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8WF6CZJYf
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRIdi8BGDJ
I couldn't believe it. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdZTgpwDn7
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BEYEuxLYN
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. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjYj2Xu2xz
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX50hLKq0N8
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wWWknewjo
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCBWesQ4J3
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPirJ16HDg
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Ll3NXp2q
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiZej34oOl
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUegjAqvcs
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjUfhSKJJx
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUsUe5D65n
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJgt5mCid9
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAdkSSHjao
And I tried my best not to cry.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zu7xokQmW
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13G0mL2qc2

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!
