When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xU1J43GkY
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIybZnw9IsQ
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctu6RDh0uo
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEuAmwJRCy
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GRal41qJE
I couldn't believe it. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JKfuTHfaf
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX8mB6WAyG
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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhfigp3ZbU
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArOYejEYUJ
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiywybVw4rr
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv30OJV4Eb
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVSm2DagkY
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpF0g0Ta2k
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74bhXb7nP3
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrejpFAScwX
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtitvNCK24
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GXhQSRdQQ
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdhmfoLAZf
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpmTCzXaDl
And I tried my best not to cry.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWJf4ICO2M
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cQiwT0M1C

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!
