When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe5zRmRp5S
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32gM612m4t
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkuvuI41AN
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshsBstdMaM
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVaHloAHWU
I couldn't believe it. 143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyRs81j95d
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkGZ3ZcxP7
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. 143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IU6Fq58YC
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gGFlYLMMq
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.143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTot9KxJiGQ
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ZcwdItr4
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbEZaMIbQA
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBswp3PtdG
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW5870diVu
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b93cENgId
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdjnXXQCPb
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvieRHRDN3c
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaioteOgQA
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVf34cPlKC
And I tried my best not to cry.143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGLeE4zI10
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cBAyxLc5w

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!
