When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5BiuLIVtg
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG5LFvyEJr
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuqXNu3IjC
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdM07A5BlX
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz3nN5qxpM
I couldn't believe it. 255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6lyRuH8Hz
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7tFW7LeUR
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. 255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0piybUGBEt
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsbwInY0tO
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.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5NVt0fxQT
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIqLJmYae4
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nh5XurQte
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNQ4UchIEX
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZktZCbrJh7
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpZukF59z7
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWSPSkkeTC
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aA0AtxbFY
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfudar0cIa
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXveU6qWcNR
And I tried my best not to cry.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LtfevKtFv
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9YNY1r9ua

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!
