When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTFLJOaIWF
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJViLnETCU
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCn7PtMoUh
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ylbHt8Psp
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiegvxTsMQB
I couldn't believe it. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO2Getik34
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88DMqYXSo9
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. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm04hhhlrHU
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1U0G4woRe
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93EZIeKP3g
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUv76QHgjQ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIld4yGKxrd
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCNxeP6PJw
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkr6PioCan
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoPsaTMVih
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLepssnw7b0
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eNMAFHOy6
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYgD5icq0H
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn3Ho1qb36
And I tried my best not to cry.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT7DjDcpiI
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUTQF50XPK

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!
