When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6C2zWNhFA
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt6jTplpo8
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb5OfRQ1UR
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IGTSFjzqj
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgm57vtDls
I couldn't believe it. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReEMfWJIlL
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYigyjwUJ9R
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaXaLu8mlv
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXidAzYBoZ
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.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3G4GaCj8r
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw7eFgyuzO
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9axmCZ9Nv1
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcQxvbJzdq
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfaZFOQxqp
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmDMaQnN8H
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU7AlP1gOW
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HhLgagPa9
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRWzBazL3E
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqIN7neaSI
And I tried my best not to cry.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWSRzsQra7
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JCMRU0Yca

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!
